Alain Altinoglu

Alain Altinoglu is a French conductor and pianist born in Paris in 1975, known for his dynamic interpretations of both orchestral and operatic works. With Armenian roots and a flair for versatility, he’s built a reputation as a maestro who moves effortlessly between composers like Franck, Prokofiev, and contemporary figures such as Wolfgang Rihm or Benoît Mernier (whose *A Wake of Music* he’s championed). Recent releases, including fiery recordings of Tchaikovsky’s violin works and Massenet’s *Thérèse*, showcase his knack for balancing drama and nuance. When he’s not leading top-tier orchestras like the Frankfurt Radio Symphony (where he’s been Music Director since 2021), you might catch him collaborating with his wife, mezzo-soprano Nora Gubisch, as seen in projects like *Folk Songs*. Altinoglu’s also a passionate educator at the Paris Conservatoire, proving he’s as dedicated to nurturing new talent as he is to electrifying concert halls.
