In his renowned blog music critic Norman Lebrecht breaks the news.

“The Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra is about to appoint a music director. Well-informed sources have whispered the name to Slipped Disc.

It’s going to be Han-na Chang, the Korean cellist, who has been upgrading her career as music chief conductor of the Bavarian Youth Orchestra, She has also been taking lessons from that past master of orchestral management, Lorin Maazel, who conducted Qatar’s opening concert (a bad night: I was there) and has kept a weather eye on its progress ever since.”
