The Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège has unveiled its new musical director, Lionel Bringuier, who takes up his post in September, succeeding the brilliantly eclectic Gergely Madaras, who has completed his six-year term.
Very well-known across Europe and having previously served as Music Director of Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich (2014/18), Bringuier has also held posts at Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León in Valladolid, Orchestre de Bretagne and Ensemble Orchestral de Paris. Bringuier’s relationship with Los Angeles Philharmonic from 2007 – 2013 started with the position of first assistant conductor to Esa-Pekka Salonen at the age of 21 and developed into the role of associate conductor and later resident conductor – as the first person to hold this title in the orchestra’s history.
