About the conductor Esa Pekka Salonen

Esa-Pekka Salonen was born in Helsinki in 1958. In 1973 he entered the Sibelius Academy, studying the horn, conducting and composition, followed by further studies in composition in Siena and Milan. In 1977 he founded the avant-garde Ears Open collective, together with other rapidly rising young Finnish composers including Magnus Lindberg and Kaija Saariaho, and in 1979 he made his highly successful conducting debut with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, which led to engagements all across Scandinavia, including an acclaimed production of Berg’s Wozzeck at the Stockholm Royal Opera. He has received several awards, including the Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres from France, the Literis & Artibus from the King of Sweden, the Pro Finlandia from the Finnish government, an honorary doctorate from the Sibelius Academy, the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Opera and Conductor Awards, and is the first conductor to win the Siena Prize of the Accademia Chigiana.
