The Hungarian conductor Iván Fischer, born in Budapest in 1951, began his musical career in his hometown, where he studied piano, violin, cello and composition.


His breakthrough came in 1976 when he won the Rupert Foundation Conductors' Competition in London, which marked the start of his international career.

Since then, Fischer has worked as a guest conductor with renowned orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, the Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam and the Berlin Philharmonic.

From 2012 to 2018, Fischer was chief conductor of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, which appointed him honorary conductor after his term of office.
