Paavo Jarvi is from Estonia. Studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and is now the music director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He's a FABULOUS conductor - I'm looking forward to the rest of his career! I just saw him conduct the Cleveland Orchestra. They played the Beethoven Violin Concerto, Stravinsky's Petrouchka, a piece by an Estonian composer, and Stravinsky Scherzo a la russe. All great.
Also, he looks very much like Bruce Willis, don't you think?
ok, maybe not . . .
