Artist Biography
Conductor Andris Poga is a promising figure among the younger generation of conductors from the Baltic countries, having gained experience with orchestras in several countries and learned to appreciate their varied ways. He landed assistant conductor posts with Paavo Järvi at the Orchestre de Paris in 2011 and the Boston Symphony Orchestra the following year. Poga resigned from those posts in 2014, for he had been appointed music director of the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra the previous autumn. During his tenure there, he led the group in a recording of the Oboe Concerto of Peteris Vasks, released in 2021. That year, Poga left the Latvian National Symphony to take up the baton with the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra. In 2023, Poga made his debut with the Stavanger Symphony, backing organist Iveta Apkalna on the album Oceanic and backed cellist Edgar Moreau in concertos by Mieczyslaw Weinberg and Henri Dutilleux.
