Vasily Petrenko conductor

Vasily Petrenko started his music education at the St Petersburg Capella Boys Music School, and went on to study at the St Petersburg Conservatory. Following his success in a number of international conducting competitions, he was appointed Chief Conductor of the St Petersburg State Academic Symphony Orchestra from 2004 to 2007. He served as Principal Conductor of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain from 2009 to 2013. The 2013/14 season marked his first as Chief Conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, alongside which he maintains positions as Chief Conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Mikhailovsky Theatre.

Highlights of the 2014/15 season and beyond include debut performances with the Israel Philharmonic and Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestras, and return visits to the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic and San Francisco Symphony.

With over thirty operas in his repertoire, he has conducted at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Paris Opera, Hamburg State Opera, Nationale Reisopera and Zurich Opera. Future plans include Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk for Zurich Opera and Boris Godunov for Bavarian State Opera.

Vasily Petrenko was awarded Honorary Doctorates by the University of Liverpool and Liverpool Hope University (in 2009), and an Honorary Fellowship of the Liverpool John Moores University (in 2012) in recognition of the immense impact he has had on the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the citys cultural scene.
