POPPEN, CHRISTOPH

Born in 1956 in Münster, Christoph Poppen has drawn attention through his creative artistry and his comprehensive commitment to contemporary music. As an artistic director he exemplifies perceptive programming and innovative ideas; as a soloist and conductor persuasive conveyance of musical vision. Since Christoph Poppen assumed the artisticdirection of the Munich Chamber Orchestra in 1995, he has done much to change the profile of the orchestra by his contrasting programming of classical and contemporary works.

In August 2006 he became Music Director of the Saarbrücken Radio Symphony Orchestra. A frequent guest conductor, he has appeared internationally with orchestras such as the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin German Symphony Orchestra, the Hanover NDR Radio Philharmonic, Dresden Staatskapelle, Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, Detroit Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, New Japan Philharmonic, Rotterdam Philharmonic and Singapore Symphony Orchestra.
