Germans renew rising conductor to 2025
mainCristian Măcelaru has been extended as chief conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra by an extra three years until 31 July 2025.
WDR programme director Valerie Weber said: ‘With his personality and an unusually broad repertoire that ranges from Bach right up to contemporary music, he has made such a convincing impression in his first year that we would like to keep him for longer in North Rhine Westphalia and at our orchestra.’
Măcelaru, 40, was recently named music director of the Orchestre National de France from next year.
