Cavalli in 2012 and 2013

Benjamin will be working on Cavalli’s Giasone at the beautiful 18th century Drottningholms Slottsteater in Stockholm during April and May, and will direct the Royal Concert there on June 11th. In Summer 2013, he will conduct Cavalli’s Gli amori d’Apollo e di Dafne in Copenhagen.

Great success in Scandinavian Christmas concerts

Ben spent most of December on the road. First stop was conducting Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with the orchestra and chorus of Norrlandsoperan (review here), who immediately invited him back for two projects in the next two seasons: a baroque/classical programme in the 2012/2013 season and the St.Matthew Passion for Easter 2014. He then made his debut with Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester, conducting a programme of Handel, Bach and Vivaldi with great success — future projects are in the pipeline.

Following the success of Ben’s projects conducting the Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir and Baroque Orchestra, and a recital last week in the Wigmore Hall with Sara Mingardo and Richard Sweeney (which can be heard online here), Ben travels to Oviedo next week to return to the Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias, with whom he conducted Messiah last year. This year: Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn.
