Praised by orchestras for his inspiring musicianship, British conductor and pianist Angus Webster is one of the most promising young musicians of his generation. Since winning joint top prize and the orchestra prize at the Panula International Conducting Competition in 2018, Angus was selected to become one of the first Salonen Fellows at the Colburn School in Los Angeles where he currently studies under the personal mentorship of world-renowned conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen.

In addition to conducting the Colburn School’s flagship orchestras and assisting Salonen with his engagements around the world, Angus will make his début with the Philharmonia Orchestra in February 2020 conducting two concerts including Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 ‘Eroica’ and Brahms’ Symphony No. 2. Other forthcoming highlights include presenting and conducting a series of educational concerts in Los Angeles with Colburn School’s Zipper Orchestra in October 2019, and returning to the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire to conduct its symphony orchestra in June 2020.
