On June 2, 2025, Christian Arming will conduct the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra in the opening concert of the International Leoš Janáček Festival in Ostrava, the most important classical music festival in the Czech Republic (*). The programme includes Janáček's Sinfonietta and Beethoven's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (soloist: Jan Mráček).
(*) Léoš Janáček was born in 1854 in Hukvaldy (30 km from Ostrava) and died in 1928 in Ostrava.
I am delighted that Christian Arming has entrusted me with his personal management. As a leading conductor of his generation, who enjoys a great career, Christian Arming has been a familiar name to me for over 25 years. He is guest conductor of numerous major orchestras worldwide and was for many years chief conductor of the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, with which he has remained in close contact. Since May 2024 he has been chief conductor of the Hiroshima Symphony Orchestra.
In Asia, Christian Arming is and will remain represented by Kajimoto in Tokyo and I look forward to working with this renowned agency.
Here is the statement from Christian Arming to our starting collaboration:
"It’s with great honor and pride to announce my European management with Delage Artists. I am thankful to Laurent Delage for his support and trust and am looking forward to an inspiring and fruitful collaboration."
Welcome Maestro and thank you for trusting me!
