Baldur Brönnimann website
Baldur Brönnimann has built a reputation for his innovative programming and mastery of complex contemporary scores, conducting the major orchestras and new music ensembles throughout Europe and Australasia, and working closely with many of today’s living composers. He is also increasingly sought after as an opera conductor, having made his debut in 2008 with English National Opera conducting Olga Neuwirth’s adaptation of David Lynch’s Lost Highway and at the Bergen International Festival conducting Saariaho’s L’Amour de Loin with the Bergen Philharmonic.
In October 2008 he was appointed as the new Principal Conductor of the Colombian National Symphony Orchestra.
Baldur conducted the premiere of Christian Mason's In Time Entwined, In Space Enlaced at the London Sinfonietta's 40th birthday concert in December 2008 - this performance is released on the final disc in the London Sinfonietta label's Jerwood series in autumn 2009.
