A woman will lead the Vienna Phil on New Year’s Day
OrchestrasIt has been made known that the concertmaster for the Vienna Philharmonic New Years Day concert will be the unassuming Albena Danailova, one of four violinists who rotate the orchestra’s first seat.
The concert will be conducted by Christian Thielemann.
Albena, 48, has been persuaded to give her first major media interview.
The Vienna Philharmonic, long a male redoubt, now has 24 women members. Albena was recruited in 2011.
