Looking to take off into a new era after nearly two decades under the charismatic Gustavo Dudamel,<\/span> the Los Angeles Philharmonic announced on May 26 that it had hired Daniel Harding, a British conductor who is also an Air France pilot, as its next music director.<\/div>\n

Harding, a 50-year-old who is known mostly for his work with European orchestras and is highly sought-after in Asia, agreed to a six-year contract starting with the 2027-28 season. His first appointment by an American orchestra is with the ensemble that engaged him for his US professional debut in 1997.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt couldn\u2019t have come a day sooner. I\u2019m very glad it didn\u2019t come a day later,\u201d he said in a telephone interview from his home in Paris. \u201cThe perfect timing, the right moment and here we go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harding will conduct eight weeks in his first season, then expand his commitment to 12 weeks annually. He is also in his second season of a five-year contract as music director of Italy\u2019s Orchestra dell\u2019Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.<\/p>\n

Kim Noltemy, who became the LA Phil\u2019s president and CEO in 2024, reached an agreement with Harding during dinner in Rome, Italy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s an incredible musician and an inspiring leader, a devoted educator,\u201d Noltemy said. \u201cHe has a global perspective. He\u2019s committed to working with the students. So he has all of the different pieces, which we really hope to get in one person.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
