Summary
Daniel Harding, the British conductor and Air France pilot, is set to become the next music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, starting in the 2027–2028 season. Known for his work with European orchestras and his U.S. debut with LA Phil back in 1997, Harding brings a global perspective and a passion for youth education. He’ll conduct eight weeks in his debut season, ramping up to 12 weeks annually, while juggling his current role with Italy’s Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia — a commute he handles with ease thanks to his pilot background. His appointment follows Gustavo Dudamel’s nearly two-decade tenure, who’s moving to the New York Philharmonic, as LA Phil explores a new leadership model that includes Dudamel in a different role alongside other conductors.
