This Young Rising Star from Philly Just Got The Call-Up Of A Lifetime

Kensho Watanabe can barely fathom the turn of events that found him on
stage leading the Philadelphia Orchestra last weekend -- with three hours'
notice.
.
"I know what happened," Watanabe said in an interview this week. "But my
brain is still processing it."
.
Surreal is one word that comes to mind, he said. Watanabe was notified at
5 p.m. Saturday that music director Yannick Net-Suin had come down with a
virus and could not conduct the 8 p.m. program at the Kimmel Center.
.
But supported is another word, because he knew the players personally,
having played in the orchestra as a substitute violinist, and, later,
having passed the audition that landed him the assistant conductor
position in fall 2016.
.
His biggest fans were there, too. "My parents were able to drive down from
Greenwich, Conn. I called at 5:15 p.m., and they jumped in the car right
then."
.
As assistant, Watanabe had attended all of Net-Suin's rehearsals and had
learned the pieces. By several accounts, his concert debut with the
orchestra was better than good. In fact, the hall was reportedly electric.
.
"He was really poised ... to just drop in and be cool as a cucumber ...
that's really special," said composer Mason Bates, who was on stage
Saturday running the electronics for his piece Alternative Energy. "It was
very impressive."
.
Born in Yokohama, Japan, and raised in the United States, the 29-year-old
Watanabe attended the Juilliard School's precollege division as a
violinist but entered Yale as a biology student. His grandfather had died
of colon cancer, and he felt inspired to become a physician.
.
However, music won out, and before long, he was a conducting student at
the Curtis Institute, working with Otto-Werner Mueller and later with
Net-Suin. He graduated in 2015.
