In March 1999 Maestro Walter Proost made a most successful debut with the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London. The orchestra promptly appointed him regular guest conductor for the coming seasons. Maestro Proost meanwhile led a series of concerts in the U.K., e.g., at Royal Albert Hall in London. At his debut at the “ Großer Musikvereinssaal“ - the Golden Hall - in Vienna in March 1998, Maestro Proost experienced an overwhelming success. This orchestra since then invited him back to Vienna for a yearly guest appearance. Since 2013 he is artistic director and chief conductor of the European Philharmonia. In 2013 he had the honour of conducting the only two concerts given in the Benelux by the world-famous tenor Placido Domingo.’ https://www.philharmonia.spb.ru/en/persons/biography/61684/ (April 2019) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHAKirkbride 4/29/2019 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 9827fe17-e56b-44a7-b457-d76a54c04d65
