He has previously served as Principal Conductor of the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal (2018–2021) and the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, which performs in the pit of the Dutch National Opera (2021–2025). He has been appointed Music Director of the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, effective 2026.
