Since 1988 its Artistic Director has been Yuri Temirkanov (winner of the Abbiati Prize in 2003 and 2007), who will be conducting the orchestra on 22-23 November. At the third concert (24 November) he will hand over his baton to Nikolai Alexeev, a distinguished member of the younger generation of conductors.
