Past simple

Eric Owens has long been a dear friend of the New York Philharmonic, and it seemed only natural to to make him our next artist in residence.

To-infinitive

I got to know him years ago in Philadelphia when I was a student there, and it was a parent already.

This was an artist with incredible appetite for all aspects of music.

He is someone who approaches music as, um, as something that is really about people and about life.

Eric is someone whom I've always seen as the perfect time course.

His triumph in the ring as Albert is well known and, uh, made waves kind of all around the globe.

I see him as a kind of quintessential vote on his voices.

 I think perfect for the role for him to be able to do this role will give him the chance to be as heroic as he can be, but also show a vulnerable side and a tortured side, which is, I think, essential to the role.
