Benjamin Bayl’s skill and flair in conducting period instrument ensembles as well as modern orchestras has led to collaborations with and support from many notable figures, not least Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Iván Fischer, Ivor Bolton, Harry Bicket, Paul McCreesh and Richard Hickox, to name a few. Following the success of his recent performances with Symfoniorkester Norrlandsoperan (Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and Handel’sMessiah), Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias, Aalborg Symfoniorkester and The Hanover Band, all have invited him to return for appearances in the next seasons. Other season highlights include his debut with Opéra National de Lorraine in concert, and invitations to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Wroclaw Baroque Orchestra, Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester and Gävle Symfoniorkester.

Future plans include: Die Schöpfung in Oviedo, conducting the Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias; The Fairy Queen at the Staatsoper in Berlin; a series of concerts in Wroclaw with the Wroclaw Baroque Orchestra, in Amsterdam with the Nederlandse Philarmonisch Orkest, in Arundel with the Hanover Band.
