Esa-Pekka takes a summer job

Esa-Pekka takes a summer job

The Finnish conductor has been appointed music director of the 2026 Ojai Music Festival. He previously filled that role in 1999 and 2001.

‘Esa-Pekka Salonen is one of the most inventive, adventurous thinkers of 21st-century musical life. The unique format of the Ojai Music Festival gives him an unusually free creative hand as both composer and conductor. I’m thrilled at the prospect of all that he will dream up,’ said Ojai Artistic and Executive Director Ara Guzelimian.
