Vladimir Mikhailovich Jurowski (Russian: Владимир Михайлович Юровский; born April 4, 1972, Moscow, Russia) is a Russian conductor. He is the son of conductor Mikhail Jurowski.

[edit] Biography

Jurowski began his musical studies at the Moscow Conservatory. In 1990, he moved with his family, including his brother Dmitri, to Germany, where he completed his education at the music schools at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden and the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler. He studied conducting with Rolf Reuter and vocal coaching with Semion Skigin.[1] He participated in a conducting master class with Sir Colin Davis on Sibelius' Symphony No. 7 in 1991.[2][3]

Jurowski first appeared on the international scene in 1995 at the Wexford Festival, where he conducted Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's opera May Night, and he returned the following year for Giacomo Meyerbeer's L'étoile du nord, which was recorded by Naxos Records. In April 1996, he made his debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, conducting Nabucco.[4]

In the 1996/1997 season, Jurowski joined the ensemble of the Komische Oper Berlin, as an assistant to Yakov Kreizberg and second Kapellmeister.[5] He received the title first Kapellmeister a year later, and continued to work there full-time until 2001. He was the principal guest conductor of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna between 2000 and 2003.

In August 2000, Jurowski was named the Music Director of the Glyndebourne Festival Opera, and he took on the post in January 2001.[6] His conducting debut with the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) was in December 2001.[7] In 2003, he was appointed the LPO's Principal Guest Conductor and a member of the Russian National Orchestra Conductor Collegium[8] He is also Principal Guest Conductor of the Russian National Orchestra, and a Principal Artist of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Jurowski was reported to have been offered the music directorship of Welsh National Opera upon the 2004 departure of Carlo Rizzi, but he declined the position.[9] His tenure with Glyndebourne has been highly acclaimed, and Jurowski has spoken of the favourable working conditions at Glyndebourne.[10]

In May 2006, Jurowski was announced as the LPO's 11th Principal Conductor, effective with the 2007/2008 season.[11] His initial contract is for 5 years.[12] Several CD recordings of Jurowski conducting the LPO have been released.[13] In April 2007, Jurowski was one of eight conductors of British orchestras to endorse the 10-year classical music outreach manifesto, "Building on Excellence: Orchestras for the 21st Century", to increase the presence of classical music in the UK, including giving free entry to all British schoolchildren to a classical music concert.[14] In May 2007, Jurowski received the 2007 Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award for Conductor of the Year.

In the USA, Jurowski made an acclaimed conducting debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra in October 2005.[15] He returned in February 2007 to Philadelphia for a second guest conducting engagement which also received critical praise.[16]He returned again in March of 2009, conducting Mahler's Das Klagende Lied to critical praise.[17]

Jurowski and his wife Patricia have two children, Martha and Yuri. The family resides in Berlin.[18][3]
