Breaking: Seoul signs up NY Philharmonic chief
NewsThe Seoul Philharmonic has just announced Jaap van Zweden as its music director from 2024.
The Dutchman, 61, will be leaving the New York Philharmonic where he is America’s second highest paid conductor.
In Seoul, he will replace Osmo Vänskä who quit after a single term. The orchestra has a history of turbulence since the breakdown of a ten-year relationship with Myung Whun Chung in 2015.
Van Zweden has made minimal public impact in New York.
He is also music director in Hong Kong.
