It has just been announced that the Colombian conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada has resigned as chief conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra with immediate effect.

The reason? ‘Long-standing and insurmountable differences with the director of the orchestra,’ his agency said.

Hmmm. Andres succeeded Philippe Jordan in the podium only last year. He has a Viennese wife and a child at school there. The intendant, Jan Nast, has been in his job since 2019.

It’s raining sulphur and brimstone in Vienna this week.
