Ilan Volkov

Ilan Volkov is an Israeli-born conductor known for his dynamic approach to contemporary and experimental classical music. As a champion of new works, he's collaborated with living composers like Alwynne Pritchard and Martin Suckling (both featured in his recent releases) while also reinvigorating 20th-century classics by Stravinsky and lesser-known innovators like Lucia Dlugoszewski. Volkov made history as the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's youngest-ever principal conductor (2003-2009) and currently serves as chief conductor of Iceland Symphony Orchestra. His boundary-pushing Tectonics Festival – which he founded – showcases his passion for avant-garde sounds, electroacoustic experiments, and cross-disciplinary collaborations, mirroring the adventurous spirit heard in releases like *Boogie Beams* and *Topophony*. Whether leading chamber orchestras or unpacking complex modern scores, Volkov brings a fresh, inquisitive energy to every project.
