The Los Angeles Philharmonic has announced:
We're thrilled to announce Daniel Harding as the LA Phil's next Music Director, starting with the 2027/28 season! Daniel brings a global perspective, a commitment to education, and a passion for nurturing emerging voices. We are eager for Daniel to join our leadership team and open new pathways for creativity, collaboration, and connection with our audiences and our city. Please join us in welcoming him to the LA Phil!
Throughout his career, Daniel has been dedicated to music education, and he is passionate about supporting and growing YOLA, including planning an international tour honoring the Frank Gehry centennial in 2029, and expanding access to music education in LA County schools.
With this appointment, Daniel will spearhead the LA Phil's evolving artistic leadership team which includes Creative Director Esa-Pekka Salonen; Conductor-in-Residence Anna Handler; and Gustavo Dudamel, who last week was appointed to the new positions of Artistic and Cultural Laureate of the LA Phil and Founding Director and Conductor Laureate of YOLA. Within the next year, this illustrious assembly will be completed with the appointments of two new positions: Creative Chair for Latin Music and Creative Chair for Film.
We'll get to know Daniel Harding a little better on Wednesday afternoon's Classical Music With Foley Schuler as we hear him conduct works by Beethoven, Orff and Brahms...
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 4 pm on Blue Lake Public Radio...
