Moscow replaces conductor who fled

The Russian Ministry of Culture has finally named an artistic director for the Moscow State Academic Symphony Orchestra, which has been headless for more than two years.

Ivan Niforchin (pictured), 29, replaces Pavel Kogan who had led the orchestra from 1989.

Kogan fled Russia in March 2022, days after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. He sent a letter of resignation from abroad.
