He is currently one of the busiest conductors in the world, serving as artistic director of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen (since 2004) and music director of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich (since 2019), and making guest appearances with orchestras around the world. He will be making his first guest appearance with the London Philharmonic in 2023.
