Munich goes Dutch again for next chorus chief
NewsThe chorus of Bavarian Radio has asked Peter Dijkstra to return as its next artistic director.
Dijkstra, who held the job from 2005 to 2016, replaces the Englishman Howard Arman, who will continue to guest-conduct the chorus.
A decidedly odd move. The scent of a certain rodent in the air suspended, Marks the place where the story . . . (apologies to T.S. Eliot). It’s likely just an interim position, the candidate whom the chorus management (ostensibly Susanne Vongries, who she?) really desires not being available for a couple of seasons or so.
Watch this space. Simon Halsey big friend of Rattle.
Quite!
Fine choice, Peter is quite talented.
