Jaap van Zweden wordt nieuwe dirigent van the New York Philharmonic

We are pleased to announce that conductor Jaap van Zweden will become the next Music Director of the New York Philharmonic, beginning in 2018–19, the Orchestra’s 177th season. He will serve as Music Director Designate in the 2017–18 season.

As the New York Philharmonic’s 26th Music Director, Mr. van Zweden — currently Music Director of both the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra — will succeed Alan Gilbert, whose tenure began in 2009 and culminates in the 2016–17 season.

“This is one of the happiest and most fulfilling days of my life,” said Jaap van Zweden. “To be asked by the great musicians of the New York Philharmonic and by the Board of this iconic institution to be its Music Director is truly an honor. As musicians, we strive to achieve the best for our audiences in sharing the music of so many gifted composers of the past and present as we look to the future. My heart is full, and my family and I look forward to being true New Yorkers, as I was during my Juilliard days.”

As Music Director Designate in the 2017–18 season, Jaap van Zweden will conduct several weeks of concerts. As Music Director beginning in 2018–19, he will conduct the Orchestra for 12 weeks each year.

Toch mooi dat zo'n Amsterdams lefgozertje die op z'n 19 al de jongste concertmeester ooit was, na z'n carrière als violist, nu zo'n gevierd internationaal dirigent is geworden.

	Geweldige dirigent! Sinds de eerste keer dat ik een uitvoering hoorde van Mozarts 20e pianoconcert met Van Zweden als dirigent was ik verkocht... Ga d'r voor, Jaapie!
