We hear that Rafael Payare, chief conductor of the Ulster Orchestra has been approached by the Vienna Philharmonic to take over three concerts in January 2015 from the late Lorin Maazel. Concerts are 17 & 18 January in Vienna and 20 January in Paris. 

Payare, in his early 30s is married to the international cellist Alisa Weilerstein.

    Has “been approached”?

    I saw Payare conduct the CBSO recently and he is very impressive. He will debut with the LSO in October. Ulster are very lucky indeed!
