Klaus Mäkelä has been hired to succeed Riccardo Muti as music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and will become the youngest head since its start in 1891.
Klaus Mkel, new director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, poses for a portrait Wednesday, March 20, 2024, at the Mandarin Oriental in New York.
“It’s just something which I don’t think about,” Mäkelä said during an interview with The Associated Press. “I was just reminded when I started in Amsterdam that I’m actually not even young, Mengelberg was 24 when he started.”before stepping down last summer ahead of his 82nd birthday. Mäkelä will be 31 years, seven months, 16 days when he starts on Sept. 1, 2027.
“When you see Klaus conduct, there’s such a connection between him and the orchestra, and you can just feel it, and then between him and the audience,” Alexander said.“I don’t think it will actually be so drastically different from the work in Amsterdam and in Paris,” he said.
