Osmo Vänskä, who resigned as music director of the Minnesota Orchestra last October, talked with Brian Newhouse of Classical Minnesota Public Radio this weekend about what might prompt him to return to the orchestra, now that it has emerged from a bitter contract dispute that lasted more than a year.
Vänskä told Newhouse: "For any healing to begin at the orchestra, Michael Henson must go."
Henson, the orchestra's president, oversaw the grueling 15-month lockout of orchestra musicians that was recently resolved.
Vänskä confirmed that his comment was for the record.
Minnesota Public Radio attempted to contact Henson about Vänskä's statement, but he declined to comment.
