The National Orchestra of Spain has upgraded David Afkham from principal conductor to artists director.

It’s enough of a status rise to keep the German baton in Spain for an extra term. Afkham, 35, has been with the orchestra since 2014.

    Spain seems to be a good amount of symphonic energy these days. NOS, Valle, Galicia, Granada… Very refreshing to see and hear.

    I attended his last concert in Chicago. He is very impressive.

    His concerts I have heard on the radio and online have left a very positive impression. This seems like a smart move by the orchestra.
