The Orchestra National de France (ONF) has reportedly decided to appoint Korean maestro Chung Myung-whun as its director and permanent conductor.Mr. Chung will reportedly sign a contract with the ONF, on condition that the orchestra accepts Chung's reforms, such as a strengthened management and a new line-up.
