An unwary maestro enters the Malyasian trap

An unwary maestro enters the Malyasian trap

The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra has a terrible reputation for mistreating foreign players and conductors. After sacking most of its western players, the orchestra was placed under an international boycott – which has not deterred hungry conductors.

Recent baton to get caught in the music director trap are Claus Peter Flor, Fabio Mechetti and Jun Märkl.

Today, the orchestra installed Junichi Hirokami as the next music director.

Hirokami, 66, works with the Kyoto Symphony Orchestra.
