U.S. maestro conducts outreach in South America.
Byline: Tyler Bridges
LA PAZ, Bolivia _ David Handel was rushing up a cobblestone street here in the midst of a bloody clash last year between military troops and policemen that would leave 29 people dead.
Handel, the director of Bolivia's National Symphony Orchestra, wanted to rescue his personal computer and musical scores from protesters who had begun to torch other buildings near the presidential palace.
"Maestro!" called out a policeman in riot gear, amid the sounds of gunfire nearby. "How are you?"
Handel can laugh about the encounter now. It was, he said, one of the many signs of success in his seven years as Bolivia's principal maestro in South America's most turbulent country and a hotbed of anti-U.S. sentiment.
"That meant to me that our outreach and public relations efforts were working," Handel said recalling the incident.
Since taking the job in 1997, Handel has revitalized the national symphony, which was first founded in 1945 by European immigrants who had fled Nazi persecution, but later fell on hard times.
