Gianandrea Noseda has been one of our Principal Guest Conductors since the 2016/17 season, having made his debut appearance with the LSO in 2006.

Noseda is also Music Director of the National Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and General Music Director of the Zurich Opera House, and was Music Director of Italy’s Teatro Regio Torino between 2007 and 2018.
