BIO

Felix Mildenberger has been appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the Filarmonica Teatro Rego in Turin, taking his already close collaboration with the orchestra to a new level. A continued scholarship holder of the Dirigentenforum, in 2021 he was added to the so-called “Maestros of Tomorrow”– a list of artists having proven long-standing artistic quality. A year before, he was the first conductor to receive the “Prix Young Artist of the Year” from the Rupert-Gabler-Stiftung at the Festival der Nationen.

Graceful, versatile, and highly musical – these are just some of the characteristics that distinguish Felix Mildenberger as a conductor. Orchestras appreciate the deep seriousness of his approach to music and his great musicality, combined with his gentlemanlikeness. This includes the London Symphony Orchestra, where he conducted numerous concerts since winning the Donatella Flick LSO Conducting Competition in 2018 and served as “Assistant Conductor” to Sir Simon Rattle, François-Xavier Roth and Gianandrea Noseda among others.

Felix Mildenberger works with many orchestras on a national and international level. These include the London Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre National de France, the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, the NDR Radiophilharmonie Hannover, the SWR Symphonieorchester, the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, the Staatskapelle Weimar, the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker, the Bremer Philharmoniker, the Nürnberger Symphoniker, the Ensemble Modern, the Orchestre National de Lille, the Musikkollegium Winterthur, the Real Filharmonia di Galicia, the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, the Kansai Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife and others.

Highlights of the 2021/22 season include the New Year’s Concert with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony as well as his debuts with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Deutsche Radiophilharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserslautern and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. Moreover, he will return to the Stuttgart Philharmonic, the Basel Symphony Orchestra, the Filarmonica Teatro Regio Torino and the St. Petersburg State Capella Symphony Orchestra.
