SCHEDULE
““ Intensely musical, intoxicating, graceful, passionate…Hannigan is an all-round musician, her whole being breathes music. “”
In the 25/26 season, Barbara returns to the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra (as Principal Guest Conductor), London Symphony Orchestra (as Associate Artist), l'Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne (as Principal Guest Conductor), and Iceland Symphony (where her position as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director will begin in 2026/27 season). She also returns to the Munich Philharmonic, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and the Juilliard School (as Creative Associate). She will make her New York Philharmonic conducting debut, performing her unique version of Poulenc's opera La Voix Humaine, in which she both sings the role of Elle and conducts the orchestra. She will bring this acclaimed production also to La Scala in Milan, to the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra in Istanbul, and to the Czech Philharmonic, as part of her residency at the Prague Spring Festival. Her recital tour with Bertrand Chamayou (works by Messiaen, Scriabin and Zorn) continues in the 2025/26 season, with performance dates in Lausanne, Amsterdam, Gothenburg, Brussels, Madrid, Vienna, Prague and London (Wigmore Hall debut) and she embarks on another European tour alongside the Quatuor Belcea singing the soprano part in Schoenberg's String Quartet No 2.
