LESLEY STAHL PROFILES THE NEW MUSIC DIRECTOR OF THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC, JAAP VAN ZWEDEN, ON SUNDAY'S "60 MINUTES"

Jaap van Zweden, the new music director of the New York Philharmonic, gets the 60 MINUTES treatment on this Sunday's edition. Lesley Stahl profiles the energetic Dutchman, interviewing him in his new environs in New York and back in his home country of the Netherlands for the report. It will be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, Oct. 28 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Cameras capture van Zweden conducting his orchestra on opening night in his debut in the new role. Stahl chronicles his rise from modest beginnings in Amsterdam to early stardom as a violinist, to a moment with legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein that spurred his quest to become a conductor at the highly unusual age of 38. The report also addresses the task of making classical music orchestras relevant in today's culture. Van Zweden has some creative ideas, even considering adding some pop stars into the mix.

Van Zweden joins an illustrious list of maestros who led what is considered one of the world's foremost orchestras, including Arturo Toscanini, Gustav Mahler and Bernstein.

"If you think of all the phenomenal conductors who were before me, I just can be humble," he tells Stahl. "Because all of those people were chosen and they proved that they were the right choice. And now it's my time to prove I was the right choice."
