Emilia Hoving

Conductor

Finnish conductor Emilia Hoving (born 1994) is currently Assistant Conductor of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France under their Music Director Mikko Franck. In May 2019, as Assistant at the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra under Chief Conductor Hannu Lintu, she jumped in to conduct Bruckner and BA Zimmermann live on TV, which put her on the international map. She has since been reinvited for several projects and will conduct the Helsinki Philharmonic this year also. She has guested with almost all the Finnish orchestras (and been reinvited), including the Lahti Sinfonia, Tapiola Sinfonietta and Tampere Philharmonic. In February 2021 she made her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, and has also conducted several regional orchestras in Sweden including the Nordic Chamber and Västerås Sinfonietta, as well as conducting the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France in studio sessions.

Next season’s highlights include debuts with the Orchestre National de Lille, Luxembourg Philharmonic, Iceland Symphony, Quebec Symphony, Helsingborg and Gävle symphonies, Turku Philharmonic, and at the Vienna Konzerthaus with the Estonian Sinfonietta, and will conduct two one-act operas (staged).

Emilia has already conducted many works by contemporary (particularly Finnish) composers, and this is a particular interest of hers. In April 2021 she was awarded the prestigious Finnish Critics’ Association “Critics’ Spurs Prize 2021” for the “best artistic breakthrough for a young artist during the year."

Emilia is currently finalising her studies at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki with Professor Sakari Oramo and Atso Almila, and with visiting teachers such as Leif Segerstam, Johannes Schlaefli, Susanna Mälkki and Eva Ollikainen. She began her conducting studies in 2015 with Jorma Panula, having previously studied clarinet, cello and (from age 6) piano.
