The outgoing music director of the New York Philharmonic is to take charge of the Radio France philharmonic orchestra from mid-2026. The Dutchman will succeed the long-serving Finn, Mikko Franck.

Van Zweden, 63, has also swapped his position with the Hong Kong Philharmonic for the higher-visibility Seoul Philharmonic.
