Players in the Beethoven Orchestra of Bonn voted 98-2 in favour of Jun Märkl as their next music director, only to be overruled by a committee of three, including Nike Wagner, who chose Marc Piollet. 

Both sides stepped back and let in Christoph Prick for an interim season.

Now they have agreed on a mutually acceptable, quite promising candidate. Bonn’s next music director will be Dirk Kaftan, 45, presently at Graz Opera.
