Starting his musical career as a pianist, Eschenbach moved to conducting in the 1970s. He has served as “chef” of prestigious orchestras such as the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra (1998-2004), Orchestre de Paris (2000-2008), Philadelphia Orchestra (2003-2008), and Music Director of the Washington National Symphony Orchestra (2010-2016).

In parallel, he has served as artistic director of several music festivals, including the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Ravinia Music Festival, and the PMF (Pacific Music Festival).

Most recently, he has served as Chief Conductor of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin Berlin since 2019, retiring at the end of the 2022/2023 season. He is currently the Honorary Guest Conductor of the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra in Denmark.
