ConductorVasily
Petrenko is Music Director of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, a position he
took on in 2021, becoming Conductor Laureate of the Royal Liverpool
Philharmonic Orchestra following his hugely acclaimed fifteen-year tenure as
their Chief Conductor from 2006-2021. He is Chief Conductor of the European
Union Youth Orchestra (since 2015), the Associate Conductor of the Orquesta
Sinfónica de Castilla y León, and has also served as Chief Conductor of the
Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra (2013-2020) and Principal Conductor of the National
Youth Orchestra of Great Britain (2009–2013). He stood down as Artistic
Director of the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia ‘Evgeny Svetlanov’
in 2021 having been their Principal Guest Conductor from 2016 and Artistic
Director from 2020.
Born
in 1976, Petrenko was educated at the St Petersburg Capella Boys Music School –
Russia’s oldest music school – and the St Petersburg Conservatoire where he
participated in masterclasses with such luminary figures as Ilya Musin, Mariss
Jansons and Yuri Temirkanov. He began his career as Resident Conductor
(1994–1997) of St Petersburg’s Mikhailovsky Theatre. He has worked with many of
the world’s most prestigious orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic,
Bavarian Radio Symphony, Leipzig Gewandhaus, London Symphony, London
Philharmonic, Philharmonia, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia (Rome), St
Petersburg Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, Czech Philharmonic, NHK
Symphony and Sydney Symphony Orchestras, and in North America has lead the Philadelphia
Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, and the San
Francisco, Boston, Chicago and Montreal Symphony Orchestras. He has appeared at
the Edinburgh Festival, Grafenegg Festival and made frequent appearances at the
BBC Proms. Equally at home in the opera house, and with over thirty operas in
his repertoire, Vasily Petrenko has conducted widely on the operatic stage,
including at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, the Opéra National de Paris,
Opernhaus Zürich, the Bayerische Staatsoper, and the Metropolitan Opera, New
York.
Recent
highlights have included wide-ranging touring with the Royal Philharmonic,
across major European capitals, Japan, and the US, including an acclaimed
performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall. In London he led a survey of Mahler’s
choral symphonies at the Royal Albert Hall. He made his debut appearance with
the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and returned to the Cleveland Orchestra,
Rotterdam Philharmonic, Dresden Philharmonic, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic,
and a revival of Boris Godunov with the Bavarian State Opera as part of the
Munich Opera Festival. In 23/24 he returns to tour the US and Europe with the
Royal Philharmonic, makes his debut with the NDR-Elphilharmonie Orchestra in
Hamburg and returns to the Seoul, Hong Kong, Israel and Dresden Philharmonics,
the Pittsburgh and Dallas Symphonies, the Filarmonica della Scala, Milan, and
the orchestra of the Palau de Les Arts, Valencia.
Vasily
Petrenko has established a strongly defined profile as a recording artist.
Amongst a wide discography, his Shostakovich, Rachmaninov and Elgar symphony
cycles with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra have garnered worldwide
acclaim. With the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, he has released cycles of
Scriabin’s symphonies and Strauss’ tone poems, and selected symphonies of
Prokofiev and Myaskovsky.
In
September 2017, Vasily Petrenko was honoured with the Artist of the Year award
at the prestigious annual Gramophone Awards, one decade on from receiving their
Young Artist of the Year award in October 2007. In 2010, he won the Male Artist
of the Year at the Classical BRIT Awards and is only the second person to have
been awarded Honorary Doctorates by both the University of Liverpool and
Liverpool Hope University (in 2009), and an Honorary Fellowship of the
Liverpool John Moores University (in 2012), awards which recognise the immense
impact he has had on the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the city’s
cultural scene.
