Coming Soon

Rory Storm is a conductor whose work spans contemporary fields, encompassing a broad established repertoire and emerging interdisciplinary forms. Since his early beginnings in London’s youth orchestras, his affinity for new music enabled the growth of a wide-ranging career, conducting orchestras including BBC Philharmonic, Manchester Camerata and - in 2024 alone - the English Chamber Orchestra and ensembles featuring the most renowned musicians in the industry (Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Tamara Stefanovich, Klaus Mäkelä) while also acting as music director for an innovative new installation at Venice Biennale and giving performances at the newly opened Aviva Studios/Factory International.

​

His recordings include premiere albums of Paul Bowles’ major works with the English Chamber Orchestra, for which Rory restored the fragmented 1950s source material, as well as releases with Grammy-winning keyboardist Bill Laurance, mixed in L-Acoustics’ groundbreaking HYRISS 360 sound.

​

Previously, Rory worked as assistant conductor with a number of eminent orchestras and conductors and on major operatic runs, including a new production of Bluebeard’s Castle & Seven Deadly Sins, from which his ongoing partnership with director Sophie Hunter aims to stage a new Dialogues des Carmelites designed by Santiago Calatrava.

​

Rory’s interest in music began as a violist, playing in professional orchestras while still a student before taking up a scholarship as a conductor at the Royal Northern College of Music. He began his professional career as associate conductor of the Britten–Shostakovich Festival Orchestra - a project brought to a close by the conflict in Ukraine - and then by producing, co-producing and directing an unusual variety of projects - often requiring his own orchestrations and arrangements, which were soon commissioned by the Hallé followed by other leading ensembles.
