Maestro is cleared of Korea charges
mainProsecutors in Seoul have finally, after a ten-month investigation, dropped alleged embezzlement charges against Myun Whun Chung, former music director of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.
The investigation was triggered by a former chief executive of the orchestra with connections to a powerful political caste. The dropping of the case may be connected to recent regime change in South Korea.
Chung, 64, is now planning to start a new orchestra in the country for players aged 19 to 28.
