The Berlin Philharmonic said Tuesday May 12, 2015 it could take as long as a year to find a replacement for outgoing chief conductor Simon Rattle after the orchestra’s musicians were unable to agree upon a candidate. The orchestra said Tuesday that 123 musicians met for more than 11 hours Monday behind closed doors in a church in Berlin’s upscale Dahlem neighborhood and held many votes but couldn’t get the majority needed to elect a successor to Rattle, who leaves in 2018.
