Music Director: Nordic Symphony Orchestra

 

During the 2011/12 season Anu makes her debuts with Orchestre National de France in Paris and Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien. She returns to the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, Münchner Rundfunkorchester and Musikkollegium Winterthur. A particular highlight of this season will be a tour through Europe with the Nordic Symphony Orchestra which she founded in 1997.

Reviews

“The young Estonian Anu Tali… showed excellent command.” (The New York Times, January 2009)

“Anu Tali, the impressive Estonian conductor, showed her creative power particularly in Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 9. She modelled the sound of the orchestra with relish, determined and accurate: she formed the music exactly following her imagination. Her powerful and effective movements passed on immediately to the musicians, whose joy of playing was apparent in every second.” (Frankfurter Neue Presse, October 2007)
