[언론보도] The Korea Herald 24.4.2. | Van Zweden's ‘maestro’ Hiddink named SPO ambassador

For conductor Jaap van Zweden, football manager Guus Hiddink is his "maestro," the artistic director of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra said during a press conference at Seoul City Hall on Monday.
On the same day, Hiddink, the first person ever to be given honorary South Korean citizenship, became the SPO’s first ambassador. In this honorary position, Hiddink will accompany the orchestra on its international tours, promote both the city and the orchestra, and participate in other activities.
Both Dutch-born, van Zweden and Hiddink have been friends for years, ever since Hiddink reached out to the conductor after watching a documentary and discovering many similarities in their seemingly different occupations as a football coach and a conductor.
