JUN MÄRKL Jun Märkl is a highly-respected interpreter of core Germanic repertoire and has become known for his refined and idiomatic explorations of the French Impressionists. His long-standing relationships with the state operas of Vienna, Berlin and Munich, the Semperoper Dresden and the Metropolitan Opera have been complemented by his music directorships of the Orchestre National de Lyon and the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra.
From 2014 to 2017, Märkl was chief conductor of the Basque National Orchestra. He also guest conducts leading orchestras in North America, Asia and Europe. He has been appointed principal guest conductor of the Residentie Orkest in The Hague from the 2020–21 season. In recognition of his achievements in Lyon, he was honoured in 2012 with the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
Märkl has an extensive discography. Among the over 50 albums he has recorded are the complete Schumann symphonies with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, works by Mendelssohn and Wagner with the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, and works by Ravel, Messiaen, and a highly-acclaimed Debussy set with the Orchestre National de Lyon. He is currently working on a cycle of works by Saint-Saëns and Hosokawa.
Born in Munich, Märkl won the conducting competition of the Deutscher Musikrat in 1986 and studied at Tanglewood with Leonard Bernstein and Seiji Ozawa. Soon after he appeared in opera houses throughout Europe, followed by his first music directorships at the Staatstheater in Saarbrücken and the Nationaltheater Mannheim.
