Ben Gernon

Born in England in 1989, Ben Gernon is a British conductor who first came to prominence in 2013 when he won the Nestlé and Salzburg Festival Young Conductor’s Award after a unanimous vote.

His popularity spread throughout Europe in 2017 and 2018 and he conducted the Munich Chamber Orchestra, the Czech Philharmonic, the Oslo Philharmonic, and the Radio Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart. He made his opera debut during the 2018 – 2019 season when he conducted Simon McBurney’s production of The Magic Flute at the English National Opera.
