Terrific news from Helsinki.

Susanna Mälkki, one of the most brilliant new-music interpreters, has been nominated as chief conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic from 2016. The city council is meeting today to approve the appointment. (UPDATE: It’s approved.)

Susanna was formerly head of the Ensemble Intercontemporain in Paris. She succeeds John StorgÃ¥rds at the Helsinki Phil.
