Performer: Tarmo Peltokoski

Tarmo Peltokoski searches in vain for the harsh brutality in Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony with the Rotterdam Philharmonic. 

Truls Mørk joins Tarmo Peltokoski and the Rotterdam Phil for a deeply emotional reading of Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto no. 2. 

Schoenberg advocate PatKop performs the knotty Violin Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and young Finn Tarmo Peltokoski. 

The youthful conductor has recently been appointed Rotterdam Philharmonic’s principal guest conductor for the next four years – and performs Bartók’s Second Piano Concerto with Yuja Wang this November.

Jorma Panula may not be a household name, but he matters enormously in the career development of many conductors. We speak to several of Panula’s Finnish students in order to learn more.

With guest conductors and soloists from the around the world, and a wide range of programming, Rotterdam Philharmonic’s 2023–24 season is as cosmopolitan as their home city.
