The Illinois Symphony Orchestra announces that Music Director candidate Naomi Woo has withdrawn from the ISO’s Music Director search due to her recent appointments as Music Director of the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, Assistant Conductor of The Philadelphia Orchestra and Artistic Partner of the Orchestre Métropolitain Montréal as well as her growing international guest conducting career. The ISO is excited to welcome back Alejandro Gómez Guillén, now as a finalist for the Music Director position.
