Ruben Gazarian is the dynamic chief conductor of the Zürcher Kammerorchester (Zurich Chamber Orchestra), bringing his passion for classical and contemporary works to life with infectious energy. Born in Armenia, he honed his craft as a violinist and conductor in Germany, later earning acclaim for his crisp interpretations and collaborative spirit. Since taking the helm in Zurich, he’s championed inventive programming—mixing Haydn symphonies, lesser-known gems by composers like Mieczysław Weinberg, and modern pieces by Fabian Müller—all while delivering lively live recordings that crackle with spontaneity. His recordings, including projects spotlighting cello concertos and flute-driven works, showcase his knack for balancing precision with warmth, making centuries-old classics feel fresh and boundary-pushing modern compositions feel inviting.
