NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Regula Mühlemann / Herbert Blomstedt

• Classical Music

He is by far the longest-serving active conductor in the world, but Herbert Blomstedt is not interested in such records: rediscovering the scores of the great composers again and again, sharpening the senses for this art and allowing everyone to share in the joy of making music – that’s what counts! Herbert Blomstedt turns 98 years old in July 2025. And since his time as chief conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, he has regularly returned to the podium of the Hamburg ensemble, accompanied by storms of applause from his audiences. After having to cancel once last season for health reasons, everyone is now eagerly awaiting Blemstedt’s next appearance.
