ALPESH CHAUHAN

The CBSO has just confirmed that Alpesh will continue as Assistant Conductor for the 2015-16 Season. The announcement follows on from the success of two recent concerts with the CBSO, where Alpesh stood in for Andris Nelsons at short notice. Alpesh commented: “[It] is a tremendous honour for me. Birmingham is my home and to be given the opportunity to work with and conduct its orchestra, which is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest, now that’s something really special." R

Alpesh conducted the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra for two concerts in Birmingham and Oxford last week, replacing outgoing Music Director Andris Nelsons. Alpesh lead the orchestra in a programme including Schubert's Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished", Strauss' Horn Concerto No.2 and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7. The concert from Symphony Hall was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. #CBSO

Aspen Incorporated has signed Alpesh for local management in Japan, working with his general management by Hazard Chase and local Italian management by Artists Management Company. #Signing
