‘Aadland is a masterful conductor with an expressive physical vocabulary that is very engaging to watch’
The Arts Hub
Long established as one of Scandinavia’s most respected conductors, Eivind Aadland recently renewed his contract as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, having formed an instant and responsive bond with the orchestra when he first conducted them in 2018.
At home in Norway, he maintains a close relationship with Oslo Philharmonic as a guest conductor and through his commitment to relationships with Dirigentloftet, a mentoring scheme for young Norwegian conductors and the National Youth Orchestras . His musical sensitivity and calm leadership also makes him a favourite collaborator for singers and he has conducted productions of Don Giovanni, Le nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte and Die Fledermaus for Den Norske Opera, Oslo.
He has fostered loyal relationships with orchestras around the world, including WDR Symphony Orchestra Köln, with whom he recorded a definitive five-volume set of Grieg’s complete symphonic works.
Aadland is an avid collector of contemporary art, with a collection encompassing the diverse media of painting, photography, video and installation.
‘Eivind instinctively understands how to draw the best from each and every player on stage and he holds us to the highest artistic standards. He’s a beautiful communicator and collaborator’
Emma McGrath, concertmaster of Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra
