 Laszlo Kovacs was dismissed last week as artistic director and conductor of the North Hungarian Symphony Orchestra in Miskolc. He has held the job for 30 years and his contract was only renewed last August.
It appears that an incoming new manager decided that Kovacs did conform to the political realities. Report here in Hungarian.
