Upcoming Performances
British-Canadian conductor Leif Tse was a semifinalist of the 2nd International Conducting Competition Rotterdam and has been hand-picked to compete in the final rounds of the 59th Besançon International Competition for Young Conductors later this year. The 2024/25 season marked his debuts in Canada, with Les Violons du Roy at the Domaine Forget de Charlevoix Festival, and Portugal, with Orquestra do Algarve at Auditório Carlos do Carmo. Other orchestras he has conducted include l’Orchestre Métropolitain, Sinfonia Rotterdam, Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, Hungarian National Szeged Symphony Orchestra, State Plovdiv Opera Orchestra and Oradea Philharmonic. Having trained as a baritone before stepping onto the podium, Leif has a special affinity for opera. His recent debut with New Sussex Opera brought the UK premiere of Saint-Saëns’ first opera – Le timbre d’argent, to audiences in London, Lewes, Eastbourne, Worthing and Winchester. His deep understanding of theatre and dramatic pacing is reflected in both his aptitude for opera conducting and narrative approach to symphonic music.
