Lionel Bringuier

This unique appointment gives him the opportunity to curate a series of special programmes which he will also conduct, and to invite several of his closest musical partners, which in this season include Khatia Buniatishvili, Philippe Bianconi, Daniel Müller-Schott, Renaud Capuçon and Alexandre Tharaud.

Very well-known across Europe and most recently having served as Music Director of Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich (2014 – 18), Bringuier has held previous posts at Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León in Valladolid, Orchestre de Bretagne and Ensemble Orchestral de Paris. Bringuier’s relationship with Los Angeles Philharmonic from 2007 – 2013 started with position of a first assistant conductor to Esa-Pekka Salonen at the age of 21, and developed into a role of associate conductor and later resident conductor – as the first person to hold this title in the orchestra’s history. The 2023/24 season will feature concerts with Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, Dresden Philharmonie, Antwerp Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre National de Metz. Other highlights of this season include USA engagements with San Diego Symphony Orchestra and Colburn School Orchestra, as well as BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, and Paris Conservatoire Orchestra.
