The 2022 – 2023 season marks Italian conductor Gianandrea Noseda's sixth season as Music Director of the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) in Washington D.C. In June 2022, his contract was extended through the 2026/27 season.
It was recently reported Noseda has been loaning 17th-19th century Italian string instruments from his private collection to the NSO. The musicians playing the valuable instruments did not know Noseda was the lender until this recent announcement.
