Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet is front and center in Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, one of the most iconic works of the 20th century. Santtu-Matias Rouvali also conducts an overture by Farrenc and Dvořák’s cheerful Eighth Symphony.

The 2024–25 season is Santtu-Matias Rouvali’s fourth year as principal conductor of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra, and he continues as chief conductor of Gothenburg Symphony. He is honorary conductor of Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, close to his home in Finland. In summer 2024, he and the Philharmonia continue their residency in Mikkeli, Finland, and return to the Edinburgh International Festival, performing the Verdi Requiem. He also conducts the New York Philharmonic in two concerts at the Bravo! Vail Music Festival.

Throughout this season and last, Rouvali continues his relationships with top level orchestras and soloists across Europe, including the Munich Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Accademia nazionale di Santa Cecilia, and Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and returns to North America for concerts with the New York Philharmonic and Chicago Symphony Orchestra. 

European touring highlights of the season include tours with the Philharmonia to Finland, Estonia, and Spain — conducting works by Sibelius, Saint-Saëns, Stravinsky, Debussy, and Frank — and with Gothenburg Symphony to Germany and Prague, leading Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, and Tchaikovsky. Rouvali and the Philharmonia are also embarking on an extensive tour to Japan with concerts in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, and other cities where they perform works by Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Bartók, Sibelius, and Grieg. They also continue regularly performing in London and the rest of the United Kingdom. 

Rouvali is building on his impressive discography. In January 2019 with Gothenburg, he released a celebrated first disc of an ambitious Sibelius cycle, pairing the Symphony No. 1 with the early tone poem En saga. The album won the Gramophone Editor’s Choice award, Choc de Classica, a prize from the German Record Critics, and the prestigious French Diapason d’Or “Decouverte.” In February 2020 they released the second volume, featuring Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2 and King Christian II, which was immediately awarded a Choc de Classica award. The third disc — Sibelius’s Symphonies Nos. 3 and 5 coupled with Pohjola’s Daughter — released in October 2022, was awarded the Radio Classique TROPHÉE and Choc de Classica. Philharmonia Records’s first release — the double-CD album Santtu conducts Strauss — was released in March 2023 following recent releases of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and Prokofiev’s Symphony No.  5. Rouvali and the Philharmonia’s most recent CD — Santtu conducts Mahler — was released in September 2023.

For more than three decades Jean-Yves Thibaudet has performed worldwide, recorded more than 50 albums, and built a reputation as one of today’s finest pianists. From the start of his career, he has delighted in music beyond the standard repertoire, from jazz to opera, which he has transcribed himself. His profound professional friendships crisscross the globe and have led to spontaneous and fruitful collaborations in film, fashion, and visual art.

With a lifelong passion for education and fostering young musical talent, Thibaudet is the first-ever artist-in-residence at the Colburn School in Los Angeles. In 2017 the school announced the Jean-Yves Thibaudet Scholarships, funded by members of Colburn’s donor community, to provide aid for Music Academy students, whom Thibaudet selects for the merit-based awards regardless of their instrument choice.

Thibaudet’s recording catalogue has received two Grammy Award nominations, the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Diapason d’Or, Choc du Monde de la Musique, Edison Prize, and Gramophone awards. His most recent solo album, 2021’s Carte Blanche, features a collection of deeply personal pieces. He was the soloist on Wes Anderson’s 2021 film The French Dispatch, and can be heard in Pride and Prejudice, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Wakefield, and the Oscar-winning Atonement. His concert wardrobe is designed by Vivienne Westwood.

In 2010 the Hollywood Bowl inducted Jean-Yves Thibaudet into its Hall of Fame. Previously a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, in 2012 he was given the Officier title by France’s Ministry of Culture, and he was named special representative for the promotion of French Creative and Cultural Industries in Romania in 2020. He is co-artistic advisor, with Gautier Capuçon, of the Festival Musique & Vin au Clos Vougeot.
