Scott Yoo is chosen as director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Mexico City

Violin player Scott Yoo was chosen as director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Mexico City.

Yoo, born in Japan on April 25, 1971, beat two other candidates: Srba Dinic and Enrique Barrios.

He replaces José Areán, objected by members of the orchestra who considered he did not have the “desired quality”.
