La Valse

At the age of 21, Aziz Shokhakimov was the precocious runner-up in the contested International Gustav Mahler Prize for Conductors. Since that auspicious moment in 2010, he has earned a place among the most sought-after conductors and, six years later, he was honoured with the Herbert von Karajan Prize for Young Conductors. The young Uzbek, currently Music Director of the Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra, conducts the Gulbenkian Orchestra in a programme that includes Smetana, Debussy, Ravel, and Elgar’s unmissable Cello Concerto, with soloist Marco Pereira.
