Gianandrea Noseda

Gianandrea Noseda, born near Milan in 1964, is one of the most dynamic and admired conductors of his generation and a key figure in the London Symphony Orchestra’s life: he has been one of its Principal Guest Conductors since 2016. Trained at the Milan Conservatory, he built an international career notable for its breadth. He is Music Director of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington and General Music Director of the Zurich Opera House, and his earlier posts include Music Director of the Teatro Regio Torino, Chief Conductor of the BBC Philharmonic and principal guest conductor at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. Renowned for the intensity, precision and theatrical flair of his music-making, and with a special authority in the Russian and Italian repertoire, he is in his element in this all-Russian programme.
