Arthur Arnold conducted the Moscow Symphony Orchestra regularly in Moscow in the Grand Hall of theMoscow Conservatory, the Tchaikovsky Hall and in the Arkhangelskoe festival, as well as in the Dutch tours.

“Audiences loved the combination of conductor and orchestra, each concert was an incredible success and the orchestra played to full houses. But even more important, the orchestra has grown under the guidance of Arnold. It is the logical next step to appoint Arthur Arnold our chief conductor. Arthur has

been deeply involved with the orchestra fundraising activities,” says Marina Levine, managing director and founder of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. “Arthur Arnold’s appointment coincides beautifully with our participation in the Dutch – Russian bilateral year 2013.”
