The international festival at Colmar, in Alsace-Lorraine, has named the French conductor Alain Altinoglu as its next artistic durector, effective immediately.

He replaces Vladimir Spivakov, who founded the July festival in 1989 and has led it ever since.

Spivakov, 78, is keeping a low profile during Putin’s war.
