Breaking: French conductor quits
mainHours after his orchestra announced plans for a resumption of concerts, Emmanuel Krivine, quit as music director of the Orchestre national de France.
Krivine, 73, was not due to step down for another year, but he has now issued this peremptory statement via AFP, citing ‘personal reasons’:
Après avoir partagé, avec l’Orchestre national de France et notre fidèle public, tant de beaux moments de musique et d’humanité lors de nos concerts (70 environ), j’ai cependant décidé, pour des raisons personnelles, de mettre fin à mes activités à Radio France.
The orchestra had previously named Cristian Macelaru as his successor.
