Hannover / New York, NY (September 2 2021) – Dorn Music is thrilled to announce worldwide management for Finnish conductor Tarmo Peltokoski.
In June 2021, Finnish Conductor Tarmo Peltokoski was fortunate to make his acclaimed German debut with The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. The soloist mastery, curiosity and passion for detail of every one of the orchestra’s members created the perfect circumstances for this debut, making the concerts a resounding success which led to a series of immediate reinvitations.
In the 21/22 season, the 21-year-old conductor will make his Berlin debut with the orchestra of the Komische Oper. Peltokoski will also conduct his first complete Ring Cycle at the Eurajoki Bel Canto Festival. In the next seasons he will make major conducting debuts at the Rheingau Musik Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, the Kölner Philharmonie and the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. Last season he debuted with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic, Tapiola Sinfonietta, Sinfonia Lahti and the orchestra of the Finnish National Opera.
