Conductor

German conductor Elias Grandy has been praised for his “passionate, spirited” interpretations of operatic and orchestral repertoire, ability to grasp “psychological subtleties” that enrich his music-making, and his extraordinary “precision” and musical depth. Since his appointment in 2015 as General Music Director of Heidelberg’s Opera and Philharmonic Orchestra, Grandy has significantly raised the caliber of both, providing thoughtful, innovative programming and burnishing the city’s fast-growing reputation as a vital musical hub.

Over the past several years, Grandy has appeared more frequently as a guest conductor, making highly successful debuts at well-known orchestras and opera houses, including the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo, Minnesota Opera, Svetlanov Orchestra in Moscow, and the Frankfurt Opera, all of which led to immediate re-engagements.
