Teodor Currentzis is a renowned conductor, musician, and creative force in the world of classical music, whose avant-garde interpretations and passionate performances have earned him critical acclaim globally. Born in Athens in 1972, Currentzis's musical journey has been marked by an unyielding quest for authenticity and a deep commitment to reinvention. His education at the National Conservatory of Athens was only the beginning; furthering his studies in conducting at the St. Petersburg Conservatory under the tutelage of Ilya Musin, a mentorship that profoundly shaped his artistic approach.

Currentzis's discography is a testament to his versatility and breadth as a conductor, encompassing a wide range of composers and periods. His recent releases highlight his ability to traverse the musical landscape with ease, from the emotional depths of Beethoven's Symphonies Nos. 5 and 7, the tragic grace of Tchaikovsky's "Pathétique", to the stormy drama of Mahler's Sixth Symphony. Notably, his work on operatic pieces, including an innovative take on Mozart's "Don Giovanni", showcases his skill in bringing new life to classic compositions. Founding the musicAeterna orchestra and choir in 2004, in Novosibirsk, and later taking them to Perm, has allowed him a platform for experimentation and excellence, solidifying his reputation as one of the most dynamic conductors of his generation. Through his performances and recordings, Teodor Currentzis continues to challenge, mesmerize, and expand the horizons of his audience, making classical music not just relevant, but electrically alive in the 21st century.
