The German television executive who abolished the SWR Symphony Orchestra of Baden-Baden and Freiburg has been promoted to president of the French-German television channel, Arte, from January.

Peter Boudgoust, 61, was an obdurate and inflexible head of SWR, deaf to appeals from the world’s leading musicians to preserve a vibrant and historic ensemble. There is good reason to fear for Arte.
