Maestro Ian Hobson, Music Director and Conductor of Sinfonia da Camera, has been offered this esteemed position, which he will do in addition to his work here. Here is the press release from Sinfonia da Varsovia:
On 1st September 2023, pianist and conductor Ian Hobson will become a guest conductor of Sinfonia Varsovia.
He has made numerous appearances with our orchestra. Together we have recorded over twenty albums featuring music by such composers as Frederic Chopin, Don Gillis, Bohuslav Martinů, and George Walker. We are now recording a wide selection of orchestral pieces by Moritz Moszkowski (from 2019) and Richard Stöhr (from 2022).
