Jérémie Rhorer is one of the most exciting and versatile conductors of his generation. As the Music Director of Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, he spearheads the exploration of 18th- and 19th- century repertoire on period-tuned historical instruments. He is an acclaimed conductor of Mozart’s works as well as modern and contemporary works, is laureate of the Prix Pierre Cardin, and is also a respected composer. Jérémie Rhorer has conducted some of the most distinguished international orchestras and is equally in demand as an opera conductor. With Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, he led pioneering new interpretations of standard operatic works such as Il barbiere di Siviglia and La Traviata. He received acclaim and awards for his interpretation of Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites as well as his iconic Mozart series. Rhorer’s privileged collaborations with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen have led him and this ensemble to deepen the exploration and recording of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies.
