Christoph Eschenbach to the National Symphony Orchestra

It's official. Months ago in this space, Christoph Eschenbach was rumored to be the new music director of the National Symphony Orchestra. Eschenbach denied it, then he denied it while sort of confirming it. And today in the Washington Post he confirms it without denying it.
The job, which starts in the 2010-11 season, also makes him music director of the Kennedy Center.
