CONCERT | PIETARI INKINEN | COPENHAGEN
On October 9, 2025, Pietari Inkinen leads the Danish National Symphony Orchestra at the Koncertsalen in Copenhagen in a concert featuring Ottorino Respighi’s Fountains of Rome and Pines of Rome, the first two grandiose parts of the composer’s musical love letters to the Eternal City. The performance continues with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, the only concerto the Salzburg master wrote in a minor key, with pianist Yeol Eum Son as soloist.
The Finnish maestro is no stranger to Respighi’s music, having conducted the Roman Trilogy or parts of it with the KBS Symphony Orchestra, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, and at the Ravello Festival, all to wide acclaim, among others.

About the Conductor:
At the age of four, Pietari Inkinen received his first musical lessons. As a teenager, the Finnish conductor, born in 1980, began studying the violin at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, where he also attended Jorma Panula’s conducting class. Further studies took him to Zakhar Bron at the Cologne University of Music and back to Helsinki to Leif Segerstam. From 2008 to 2016, he was the chief conductor of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, and in 2014 and 2015, he spent five years each as chief conductor of the Ludwigsburg Festival and the Prague Symphony Orchestra. A special place in the conductor’s career is held by the music of Richard Wagner: in 2014, he conducted Der Ring des Nibelungen for the first time at Opera Australia in Melbourne, and in 2021, he conducted Die Walküre at the Bayreuth Festival. There, he conducted the complete Tetralogy in 2023. Pietari Inkinen is in demand worldwide at opera houses from Helsinki to Brussels, Dresden, and Berlin, and has also worked with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
