Why did you delete this information? Chess and other Occupations says: Musicians and chess masters include ... Hans Johner (director of the Zurich Philharmonic Orchestra), .... --tsor 23:16, 13. Nov. 2008 (CET)
Here is the reason, please read my letter and the answer to it, from the man who wrote the article in chessville:

Yoav,
Looks like you are right. Also, this link shows all the principle conductors of the Tonhalle Orchester Zurich and does not list Hans Johner.

Yoav,
This is repeated in the Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Johner and may be in Brace's book in the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Chess, perhaps in error.

Hello!
I read at chessville your very nice article.
I have a remark about this sentence:
Musicians and chess masters include Armand Blackmar (music professor and music publisher), Hans Johner (director of the Zurich Philharmonic Orchestra), Philidor, Mark Taimanov (concert pianist), Eileen Tranmer, and Eugene Znosko-Borovsky (music critic).
Actually, there is no such an orchestra.
I know that he played in the Tonhalle Orchester Zurich - could you please check your source?
Thank you!
-- Yours,
Yoav Dothan
