The Lithuanian condcutor Mirga Gražinyte-Tyla opens up a bit more on why she’s leaving the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

In an interview with Jessica Duchen she says: ‘It’s a personal decision, which at this period of my life is just the right one for me… I would love to continue, but I feel it’s the right step for me not to be a music director at present. It’s a huge gift, but also a huge responsibility.’

And after this season? ‘It will be mostly guest-conducting and some opera productions.’

So that’s a No to the New York Phil?

Full interview here.
