Outgoing New York Philharmonic music director Jaap van Zweden will assume the same role with Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France starting with the 2026-27 season.
The French orchestra said Tuesday that van Zweden will work with the orchestra for four weeks during the 2025-26 season, when he will be music director designate.
He will succeed Mikko Franck, who has been music director since 2015-16.
The 63-year-old van Zweden began in New York in September 2018 and his six-season tenure that ends this season is the shortest since Pierre Boulez succeeded Leonard Bernstein and led the orchestra from 1971-77.
Van Zweden has been music director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra since 2012-13 and also is leaving at the end of this season. He started last month as music director of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.
