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 has been studying under the personal mentorship of world-renowned conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen.

In October 2019, Angus presented and conducted a series of educational concerts in Los Angeles with Colburn School’s Zipper Orchestra. In addition to his work at Colburn and in assisting Salonen with his engagements around the world, Angus made his début with the Philharmonia Orchestra in February 2020 conducting two concerts including Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 ‘Eroica’ and Brahms’ Symphony No. 2.

Angus’ planned engagements this 2020/21 season include his débuts with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne. He also plans to make his débuts with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra, and Polish National Radio Orchestra in seasons to come.
