WASHINGTON (AP) -- The National Symphony Orchestra has chosen Christoph Eschenbach as its next music director after years of searching.

The German conductor and pianist recently headed the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Eschenbach will also hold the newly created position of music director of the Kennedy Center.

The job will officially start in the 2010-2011 season after Hungarian conductor Ivan Fischer completes his two-year stint as principal conductor.

Eschenbach will come to Washington in November to begin auditions for eight vacancies in the orchestra.
