Composer

Peter Eötvös

Principal Guest Conductor, Modern and Contemporary Repertoire: Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra
Principal Guest Conductor: Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra (from 2009/10)

Composer, conductor and teacher: the Hungarian Peter Eötvös combines all three functions in one very high-profile career.

His music features regularly in the programmes of orchestras, contemporary music ensembles and festivals worldwide; and as composer/conductor he has led projects focusing on his work in centres such as Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Lisbon. His most recent operas, Le Balcon and Angels in America, are following the lead of his Three Sisters by generating an ever-increasing number of new productions; and several major music theatre commissions are due in the next few years.

In addition to his roles listed above, Peter Eötvös is regularly re-invited as guest conductor by orchestras including Berlin Philharmonic; Munich Philharmonic; Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France; Ensemble InterContemporain; BBC Symphony; London Sinfonietta; Netherlands Radio Philharmonic; Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.

Equally important to Peter Eötvös are his teaching activities - especially his work at the Musikhochschule in Karlsruhe and at his own International Eötvös Institute and Foundation for young conductors and composers in Budapest. Amonst the many honours he has been awarded are the Kossuth Prize, by the President of the Hungarian Republic in 2002; and the ’Commandeur de l`Ordre des Arts et des Lettres’ in 2003 by the French minister of education and cultural affairs.
