Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Makes Peace With Bernard Haitink

“The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra has apologised to its former Chief Conductor, healing a rift that has existed for the last couple of years. Announcing the return of its Honorary Conductor, the RCO admitted that ‘strains in the relationship between the management of the RCO and [Haitink]’ had led to the conductor’s absence during the past 18 months.”
