Levon Parikian
Levon Parikian studied conducting with George Hurst and Ilya
Musin. Since completing his studies, he has pursued a freelance
conducting career, and is much in demand as guest conductor with
orchestras in Britain. He currently holds Principal Conductor posts
with several London-based orchestras, and is Principal Conductor
of the City of Oxford Orchestra and artistic Director of the Rehearsal
Orchestra. He works extensively with students and youth orchestras,
including the Royal College of Music Junior Sinfonia, the National
Youth Strings Academy, and Royal Holloway University of London,
where he also teaches conducting.
Levon lives in South London and his hobbies include making
retaliatory hoax calls to call centres, cycling headlong into bendy
buses, and wondering why he came upstairs.
