John Eliot Gardiner is revered as one of the<br />
world’s most innovative and dynamic musicians<br />
and is a leader in the contemporary<br />
musical world. His work, as Founder and<br />
Artistic Director of the Monteverdi Choir,<br />
English Baroque Soloists (EBS) and Orchestre<br />
Révolutionnaire et Romantique (ORR)<br />
has made him a key figure both in the early<br />
music revival and historically informed performance<br />
practice.<br />
Gardiner is a regular guest of the<br />
world’s leading symphony orchestras, including<br />
the London Symphony Orchestra,<br />
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen<br />
Rundfunks, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra<br />
and Gewandhausorchester Leipzig,<br />
conducting repertoire from the 16th to the<br />
20th centuries. He has also conducted<br />
opera productions at the Royal Opera<br />
House, Covent Garden, the Wiener Staatsoper<br />
and the Teatro alla Scala in Milan.<br />
From 1983 to 1988 he was Artistic Director<br />
of the Opéra de Lyon, where he founded its<br />
new orchestra.<br />
His broad repertoire is illustrated by<br />
his extensive catalogue of award-winning<br />
recordings with the Monteverdi ensembles<br />
and other leading orchestras on both major<br />
labels and his own Soli Deo Gloria label. He<br />
holds two GRAMMY ® awards and has received<br />
more Gramophone Awards than any<br />
other living artist.<br />
In 2021 Gardiner conducted the Monteverdi<br />
Choir and EBS in a live streamed<br />
