Karina opens new season with festival highlights in Edinburgh, Lucerne and Berlin
Karina Canellakis begins her 2025/26 season with three major festival appearances in August. She returns to the Edinburgh International Festival (21 August) with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Edinburgh Festival Chorus in a program featuring Messiaen’s Les Offrandes oubliées, Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms with countertenor Hugh Cutting, and Stravinsky’s Petrushka. On 27 August she makes her debut at the Lucerne Festival, leading the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir with soprano Liv Redpath and pianist Bertrand Chamayou in a wide-ranging program: Boulez’ Le Soleil des eaux, Unsuk Chin’s Piano Concerto, the world premiere of Robin de Raaff’s L’Azur, and Boulez’ Don from Pli selon pli. The month closes with an appearance at Musikfest Berlin (31 August), where she conducts the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and Choir at the Philharmonie in celebration of Pierre Boulez’ centenary year. Alongside Messiaen and Boulez, the program features the German premiere of de Raaff’s L’Azur and Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances. With these performances, Canellakis opens her season at three of Europe’s most prestigious festivals.
Season Highlights 2025-26
The upcoming 2025-26 season marks Karina's highly anticipated debut with the Vienna Philharmonic at Mozartwoche Salzburg in January 2026, as well as with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in Geneva. She returns to leading orchestras including the Chicago and San Francisco Symphonies, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Vienna Symphony, and embarks on a European tour with the London Philharmonic and Anne-Sophie Mutter. In opera, she makes her debut at Staatsoper Hamburg conducting a bold triptych: Schumann’s "Frauenliebe und -leben", Bartók’s "Bluebeard’s Castle", and Zemlinsky’s "A Florentine Tragedy". She also leads Britten’s Peter Grimes in concert with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic in Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw.
