Alpesh Chauhan

Grand final

Alpesh Chauhan is Principal Conductor of the Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini in Parma, a post he took up in autumn 2017. Quickly rising to international prominence, highlights of his career to date include conducting two concerts at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms, a production of Turandot at the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, recording the Ten Pieces Secondary film with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic and a main season concert at the Barbican Centre with the London Symphony Orchestra. Alpesh held the position of Assistant Conductor at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra from 2014-2016.

During Alpesh’s first season at the Filarmonica Toscanini the great symphonic tradition takes centre stage, as he programmes a cycle of the Brahms symphonies and juxtaposes pillars of nineteenth-century repertoire such as Mahler’s Symphony no.1 and Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem with twentieth-century masterpieces including Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem and LutosΕ‚awski’s Concerto for Orchestra. Other highlights in 2017-18 include debuts with the Royal Philharmonic and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestras, the Orchestra of Opera North, Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, and with the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker in a programme featuring Bruckner’s Symphony no.4. The season also sees him return to the Philharmonia Orchestra, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Symphony Orchestra, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and the Orkest van het Oosten.
