Elim Chan

One of the most sought-after artists of her generation, Elim Chan performs an unusually wide-ranging repertory of symphonic works extending from the Classical period to the present day. The Sunday Times describes Elim Chan as “a rare example of a young conductor at once brilliant and not in the least showing off.” In January 2022, the Boston Classical Review spoke of a “marvel of control and understanding” following Elim Chan’s debut with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Elim Chan was Principal Conductor of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra from 2019 to 2024 and Principal Guest Conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra from 2018 to 2023.

Having made her highly acclaimed debut with the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the 2023 BBC Proms, Elim Chan conducted the orchestra again at the First Night of the Proms 2024. The summer 2024 also saw Elim Chan reunited with the Los Angeles Philharmonic opening the classical summer season at the Hollywood Bowl, with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at the Edinburgh International Festival as well as making her debut with the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg opening the Salzburg Festival as well as with the Kammerakademie Potsdam opening the 2024 Beethovenfest Bonn.

Highlights of the 2024-25 season include touring projects with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra as well as with the orchestra’s MCO Academy, Elim Chan’s highly anticipated return to the Hong Kong Philharmonic both in a subscription week as well as for the orchestra’s “Symphony Under The Stars” and her debut in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
