Swiss conductor Roman Brogli-Sacher is to become General Music Director of the Neue Lausitzer Philharmonie in Görlitz. This was announced by the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater on Monday. Brogli-Sacher succeeds Ewa Strusińska, who is leaving the orchestra at the end of this season. The Neue Lausitzer Philharmonie is the orchestra of the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater.
Strusińska took over as conductor of the Neue Lausitzer Philharmonie at the start of the 2018/19 season. 4 women and 70 men had applied to succeed her. The five most promising candidates were each given the opportunity to conduct the orchestra at a Philharmonic concert and a performance of the new Görlitz production of Richard Wagner's "Flying Dutchman". A large majority of the orchestra members opted for Brogli-Sacher, Morgenroth said.
