Timeline
Teodor Currentzis (Θεόδωρος Κουρεντζής ; born 24 February 1972) is a Greek conductor, musician and actor.
Currentzis was born in Athens, and at the age of four began to take piano lessons.
At age seven, he began violin lessons.
He entered the National Conservatory, Athens at the age of twelve, in the violin department.
In 1987, aged fifteen he began composition studies under Professor George Hadjinikos, and then in 1989 under Professor B. Shreck.
From 1994 to 1999, Currentzis studied conducting supported by a scholarship from the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation in the St. Petersburg State Conservatory with Ilya Musin.
From 2004 to 2010, Currentzis served as principal conductor of the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre, where in 2004 he founded the Orchestra MusicAeterna and later the Chorus MusicAeterna.
In February 2011, Currentzis became music director of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre, to which he brought both of his MusicAeterna groups.
In 2011, Currentzis became principal guest conductor of the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra.
Effective with the 2018–2019 season Currentzis became the first chief conductor of the SWR Symphonieorchester (created by the merger of the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra).
In September 2021, the SWR announced a 3-year extension to Currentzis' contract.
In September 2022, the SWR announced that Currentzis was to stand down as chief conductor of the SWR Symphonieorchester at the close of the 2024–2025 season.
The contract was not renewed upon his own request, and not for political reasons "as some had speculated or hoped".
In February 2024 Wiener Festwochen cancelled a performance by Currentzis due to concerns raised by Ukrainian conductor Oksana Lyniv, who was also scheduled to perform at the festival, around Currentzis's links to Russia – namely VTB Bank sponsoring a Currentzis lead Russian ensemble, and the Russian citizenship awarded to Currentzis by Vladimir Putin.
Currentzis has the image of a punk "messiah and rebel," wearing lace-up boots, skinny jeans and a T-shirt on stage.
He has been labeled eccentric for conducting from within the orchestra, leaving his stand.
However, as of 2022 he has chosen to take on more traditional dress, appearing in black suits with white cuffed shirts, elegant evening shoes and a neat haircut.
Currentzis never distinguished himself as a Putin sympathizer, even before the Ukrainian War, unlike his colleague Valeri Gergiev, and he is much less involved in state structures than Gergiev.
Nevertheless, on 2 January 2024, he played the song “Moscow Evenings” at the Saint Petersburg Philharmonia during one of Russia's largest missile attacks on Ukraine.
Currentzis has won the National Theatre Award Golden Mask nine times:
