On September 19, Pietari Inkinen launches his 2025/26 season with the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra at the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall in Yerevan. The program features two composers the Finnish maestro has long championed on the international stage: Gustav Mahler, with his Symphony No. 1, and Jean Sibelius, represented by the symphonic poem Finlandia and the Violin Concerto in D minor, performed by acclaimed soloist Sergey Khachatryan.
Pietari Inkinen has recorded the complete cycle of Sibelius’s symphonies with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, released on the Naxos label.

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.
