Phones are ringing off the hook in Basle, where Marc Lachat, principal of the local orchestra, is being congratulated on winning the audition for the coveted #1 seat at Dudamel’s Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Lachat, 35, also plays in the Zurich chamber orchestra. A keen mountaineer, he has yet to confirm acceptance

The LA Phil seat has been vacant since 2018, when Ramon Ortega quit in a matter of weeks.
