Xian Zhang returns to Europe later this season to conduct Philharmonia (with Dame Sarah Connolly and Andreas Schager), MDR Leipzig, and Hannover Staatsorchester. She also returns to the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi of whom she is Conductor Emeritus. These engagements come after a hugely successful month-long Winter Festival with New Jersey Symphony of whom she is Music Director.
This season has so far seen her conducting Los Angeles, Dallas, Baltimore, and New World symphonies and over the next few months she will appear with Cincinnati, NAC Ottawa, and Montreal symphony orchestras. This coming summer, she will make her Santa Fe Opera debut with the world premiere of Huang Ruo’s M Butterly.
