The violinist will serve as artistic director through to the end of the 2028/29 season
The Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne (OCL) has announced a second extension of Renaud Capuçon’s tenure as its artistic director for a further two seasons through to the end of the 2028/29 season.
The partnership between OCL and Capuçon began in 2021. As artistic director, Capuçon appears as conductor and player/director. During Capuçon’s tenure, the OCL has launched several recordings, toured internationally and collaborated with leading conductors and soloists.
Its upcoming season will include pianists Beatrice Rana, Bertrand Chamayou, Igor Levit, Mao Fujita, and the Labèque sisters, and conductors Barbara Hannigan, Christoph Eschenbach, and Eva Ollikainen.
’To all those who support the OCL, I want to say thank you once again and tell you how happy and proud I am to be part of the development of this exceptional orchestra,’ Capuçon commented, as the OCL prepares for its final subscription series performances for the 2024/25 season on 18 and 19 June.
Additionally, Capuçon serves as artistic director of the Aix-en-Provence Easter Festival, Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad and Rencontres Musicales d’Évian.
