We're delighted to announce the appointment of Thomas Jung as BRB's new Principal Guest Conductor. The appointment is for three seasons, and we're looking forward to welcoming Thomas back for performances of The Nutcracker this Christmas.
I am thrilled that Thomas Jung is returning to BRB as Principal Guest Conductor. What a tremendous testament to the success of the Constant Lambert Fellowship, the groundbreaking programme designed to develop the skills of emerging conductors and introduce them to the richness of the ballet repertoire at The Royal Ballet & Opera and Birmingham Royal Ballet. Through the Fellowship and subsequent guest appearances at BRB, conducting the Royal Ballet Sinfonia in The Nutcracker, Don Quixote and the Into the Music triple bill, Thomas has established an excellent relationship with dancers, musicians, the entire BRB Team and of course our audiences. We very much look forward to welcoming him back to Birmingham.Carlos Acosta

I am delighted to continue my relationship with Birmingham Royal Ballet and the Royal Ballet Sinfonia in the coming years as Principal Guest Conductor and to work even closer with Paul Murphy, Carlos Acosta, and this wonderful orchestra, and company. Every time I have conducted here since 2018, I have been inspired by the artistry on and off stage. I love the commitment, dedication, and vibrancy that the fantastic musicians and dancers of BRB bring. I’m looking forward to sharing our passion and love for music and dance with our audiences in the seasons to come.Thomas Jung
I am delighted to welcome Thomas to the position of Principal Guest Conductor. Thomas had a very successful tenure as the Constant Lambert Conducting Fellow from 2018-2020, during which time amongst other projects, he conducted the world premiere of Gabriel Prokofiev’s Sense of Time. He is a hugely talented conductor and I’m really looking forward to working with him again over the next three seasons.Paul Murphy
