Just in: Maestro quits Monte

Just in: Maestro quits Monte

Top news this morning on the French Riviera:

Kazuki Yamada, Artistic and Musical Director of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, has recently informed the Conseil d’Administration, chaired by HRH the Princess of Hanover, of his wish not to seek renewal of his term beyond the end of his contract in August 2026.

After nearly ten years of intense and fruitful collaboration, Kazuki Yamada has indeed chosen to embark on a new professional adventure, notably with his recent appointment to the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, for which the Board extends its warmest congratulations. This new step represents a logical and remarkable continuation in the development of his conducting career.
