The Vienna Philharmonic has permanently appointed its first woman concertmaster.
Albena Danailova has been acting concertmaster since September 2008 - the first woman in that position with the orchestra.
The world-famous ensemble was an all-male group for most of its 160 years. The first women joined in the 1980s.
