Santtu-Matias Rouvali

Santtu-Matias Rouvali took up the baton as Principal Conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra in September 2021. He is just the sixth person to hold that title since the Philharmonia was founded in 1945.

In our 80th birthday season, he collaborates with soloists including Víkingur Ólafsson, Hilary Hahn and Lisa Batiashvili, and conducts music from Beethoven to Bernstein. In the season finale, he recreates an epic all-Strauss concert originally conducted in 1947 by Richard Strauss himself.
