The audition for principal flute of the Berlin Philharmonic was won today by the Swiss artist Sebastian Jacot, presently solo flute with the Leipzig Gewandhaus.

Jacot, 34, has already been offered principal flute in the San Francisco Symphony but will presumably take Berlin as the most prestigious and challenging post.

Jacot succeeds Mathieu Dufour, who left the orchestra suddenly last December ‘for personal reasons’.
