The young British-Canadian conductor Henry Kennedy has already established strong credentials in the concert hall and opera house in both Europe and North America.
Currently inaugural Resident Conductor of Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa, he is the founder of London’s Resonate Symphony Orchestra and former resident conductor of Poland’s Wrocław Opera. Having acted as assistant to a number of leading conductors, he has collaborated with major European orchestras, and, since graduating from London’s Royal Academy of Music, he has benefited crucially from the mentoring of Riccardo Muti, Christian Thielemann, Richard Bonynge and David Zinman.
