F-X Roth is still cancelling

F-X Roth is still cancelling

The Councertgebouw has announced a replacement for the French conductor who is struggling with disclosures of dick-pics that he sent to female musicians.

At issue is an ambitious Schoenberg weekend in October:

François-Xavier Roth, who was originally scheduled to conduct these concerts, has decided to withdraw after consultation with the orchestra.
