Additional career items

Virginia Arts Festival recently announced Olga Kern will be their Connie & Marc Jacobson Director of Chamber Music beginning with the 2019 season. (Source - https://pilotonline.com/entertainment/music/article_ac73f65c-cb22-11e8-ae9f-df1ed1e56ade.html) I think this is worth adding to her article. It would make sense under the career section - maybe a new subheading of "Current"? Mention of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor would make sense here as well (Source - https://www.congress.gov/crec/2018/01/16/CREC-2018-01-16-pt1-PgE48.pdf) Pianolover1979 (talk) 20:05, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Ellis Island award is already under awards (almost all of which are unreferenced). The 2019 position has not happened yet. This is an encyclopedia article, not a newsletter about her or an alternative web page. Furthermore "currently" is never used in encyclopedias. It is a meaningless time construct.
