    I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.
    —Albert Einstein.

    He's wonderful and we're very lucky to have him at the helm of the Sydney Symphony. Albiet only rarely!

    He's takes over as Chief Conductor and Musical Advisor from next year, which is very exciting for all concerned.
