New chief conductor in Belgium, but the intendant is the real star
NewsThe Belgian National Orchestra – no, me neither – has chosen the excellent Dutchman Antony Hermus to be chief conductor, starting a year from now.
He replaces the American Hugh Wolff.
The man calling the shots is Intendant Hans Waege, who also has a second job as Professor of Sociology at Ghent University.
Now that’s interesting. Name any other head of a national orchestra who maintains a parallel academic career.
Waege was formerly with the Rotterdam Philharmonic.
