Extremely popular with audiences, Anthony Inglis has an amazing talent and presence on stage with a unique ability to immediately establish a rapport with the public whether they be knowledgeable or new to the classical world.

Described in the UK press as ".....one of Britain's most popular conductors..." he is well known for conducting Beethoven symphonies with world class orchestras to events such as the naming ceremony of the liner Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria. He is one of the most sought after conductors for all types of concerts...and one of the busiest. Click on the career link above for further info and current activities.

Anthony Inglis is the most appeared featured artist at the UK's Royal Albert Hall. In exactly 194 performances, he has conducted more often at the venue and appeared more often than anyone else in the building's history.

Repertoire
His repertoire is immense, and ranges from the classical symphonies of Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert to composers still working today such as John Adams, John McCabe, Paul Patterson and his good friend Howard Blake. The works performed are far too extensive to list here. He also has a reputation for being able to take over at short notice unchanged programmes from his indisposed colleagues. For instance at only 12 hours notice he conducted an unchanged programme with the City of London Sinfonia which included a Dvorak symphony, a Beethoven Overture and Nicholas Daniel, Joy Farrall in John McCabe's Double Concerto for Clarinet and Oboe (hardly a repertoire piece) in the presence of the composer.. Another time at 24 hours an unchanged programme that included Liszt's (supposed) 3rd Piano Concerto and Wotan's Farewell and Magic Fire Music from Die Walkure. Yet another occasion, again at 24 hours notice, he conducted The Philharmonia in a challenging programme that included Ravel's Tzigane.

This has given him an insight into clever programme planning. Whenever he can, if he is performing a "popular" programme he will perform a piece or two that the audience will certainly not have come across. This might include Malcolm Williamson's Ochre, William Lloyd Webber's Aurora, or Wagonaar's Cyrano de Bergerac. He has given many UK and world premiers, these have included Howard Blake's The Bear, with the Ulster Orchestra, which was his follow up to the incredibly successful The Snowman; and rather interestingly an experiment by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra to include the local community. Local composers were invited to enter a competition and write a piece for the orchestra. The resultant winner's composition was received with enthusiasm by audience and critics at a concert. He commissions pieces and these have included symphonic suites to Les Miserables, Miss Saigon and Phantom of The Opera, all from the original composers and to be played by a standard symphony orchestra. He has since recorded them. And he has also written a composition of his own, which occasionally when asked to, he performs (see Reviews).

His programming ideas are many and varied. But one thing is for certain, his concerts are always interesting, challenging, popular and FULL.
