Nearly two years after news of his appointment, 26-year-old Finnish-Filipino conductor Tarmo Peltokoski has officially arrived in Hong Kong to step into his full role as music director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra.
Hailed by international critics as one of the most exciting young conductors in the world, Peltokoski will take the orchestra on an ambitious international tour just two months into his tenure.
In November, the HK Phil will embark on a four-country, eight-city European tour, making debuts at prestigious venues including Berlin’s Berliner Philharmonie, Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, Vienna’s Wiener Konzerthaus and Helsinki’s Musiikkitalo.
