Praised repeatedly for his effortless authority on the podium, his drive and command of the orchestra, and his incisive, heart-felt, and evocative interpretations, the British conductor Ben Gernon has conducted many of the world’s major orchestras including the Czech Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, and hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt. Equally at home in the opera house, he made his début conducting L’elisir d’amore at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, and has also conducted The Magic Flute at English National Opera, Madama Butterfly at Kungliga Operan, Stockholm, Le nozze di Figaro at Staatsoper Stuttgart, and Don Giovanni and Il barbiere di Siviglia with Glyndebourne Touring Opera. His career has seen him work across the globe, with the Wiener Symphoniker, Münchener Kammerorchester, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse, Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester, Svenska Kammarorkestern, and DeGaetano Composition Institute in a project with the Orchestra of St Luke’s and the composer Anna Clyne. In July 2020 his recording with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir, the 3D Classical Collection, was released, which comprises popular classical works spanning four centuries. Other recent releases include recordings with the Czech Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and Royal Scottish National Orchestra. One of the youngest conductors to have held a titled position with a BBC orchestra, Ben Gernon was Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Philharmonic from 2017 until 2020. He continues to work with the orchestra regularly, having appeared with it at the BBC Proms, the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, and in live broadcasts from the orchestra’s studio.
