The Berliner Symphoniker, which has been without a chief conductor since Lior Shambadal stepped down in 2019, has appointed a local successor.

He is Hansjörg Schellenberger, 73, former principal oboist of the Berlin Philharmonic and half of the Schelli-Gelli player duo that brokered at huge Sony recording deal in the rampant 1990s.

That’s quite a homecoming.
