The next Principal Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra has been named Edward Gardner. He replaced Vladimir Jurowsky, who has been the principal conductor since the 2007/2008 season. The term is five years from the 2021/2022 season. Gardner has been the principal conductor of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra in Norway from 2015, and his term will expire in the 2021/2222 season.

Gardner was born in 1974 in Gloucester, England.
