The conductor Kirill Karabits<\/strong><\/a> will conclude his tenure as chief conductor of Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in summer 2024, after a successful 15-year partnership. However, that definitely won\u2019t be the end of relations between conductor and orchestra.<\/p>\n

Karabits and the BSO have performed cycles of Beethoven, Brahms and Prokofiev, given UK premieres of works from CPE Bach to contemporary music from Azerbaijan, and championed music from both eastern Europe and Karabits\u2019 native Ukraine through their ongoing series Voices from the East<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Karabits is the BSO\u2019s second longest-serving chief conductor after its founder Sir Dan Godfrey. Upon standing down from his chief conductor, Karabits will become Bournemouth\u2019s conductor laureate, artistic director, Voices from the East.<\/p>\n<p>Together, Karabits and the BSO have performed a wide range of repertoire, from rediscovered CPE Bach to new music from Azerbaijan. Highlights have included focussed seasons of Beethoven, Brahms, Britten and Shostakovich, Elgar, Prokofiev and Walton. During this time, the orchestra have performed with soloists including Sunwook Kim, Nicola Benedetti, James Ehnes, Catherine Foster, Steven Isserlis, and Robert Levin.<\/p>\n<ul><li><strong><a class=\""standard-card-new__article-title"\" href=\""https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/news\/bournemouth-symphony-orchestra-has-new-somerset-base\/"\">Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra has new Somerset base<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a class=\""standard-card-new__article-title"\" href=\""https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/reviews\/orchestral\/kirill-karabits-conducts-waltons-symphonies-nos-1-2\/"\">Kirill Karabits conducts Walton\u2019s Symphonies Nos 1 & 2<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul><p style=\""font-weight:\">Under Karabits\u2019 leadership, the Orchestra has also commissioned new music from a range of composers, including Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, Anna Korsun, Mark-Anthony Turnage and Sir James MacMillan.
