The Uzbek-born conductor Aziz Shokhakimov is Music Director and Artistic Director of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, as well as Artistic Director of the Tekfen Philharmonic Orchestra in Turkey. He also conducts renowned orchestras throughout Europe, North America and Asia, with the symphonic repertoire being just as much his forte as opera. He made his debut at the age of just 13 with the Uzbekistan National Symphony Orchestra; successes in competitions a few years later fuelled the start of his career.

Michael Kube is a passionate music educator and has been conceiving the school and family concert series "phil zu entdecken" for the Dresden Philharmonic since the 2015/16 season. He also works as an editor and consultant, is a juror for the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, and a university lecturer in music history, musicology and music education.

Top class! That is the claim of the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestra stands for concerts at the highest artistic level, musical education for all ages and looking beyond the musical horizon. Guest performances on almost every continent and collaborations with guests from all over the world have established the reputation of the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra in the international classical music world.
