Nicholas Milton - Conductor

Hailed for his dynamic conducting style, energy, passion and compelling musical integrity, Nicholas Milton has established an outstanding reputation among the younger generation of conductors in Europe. The Australian-born conductor is renowned for his charismatic stage presence and exciting interpretations of an extensive repertoire spanning both concert and opera.

Appointed as the youngest ever concertmaster of one of Australia’s major orchestras, Milton enjoyed an international career as a violinist and chamber musician before dedicating himself in 2006 exclusively to conducting. The immediacy of Milton’s rapport with musicians continues to thrill orchestras and audiences alike; he is in high demand, working with leading orchestras throughout Europe and Asia. In 2013 he was Assistant Conductor to Mariss Jansons on an extensive European and United States tour with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
