Reviews
Berman really knew how to get the most out of this fine orchestra who tend to be a bit shy when it comes to twentieth century and twenty-first century repertoire.
Baltic Musical Gems, Oct 2016 

"The rising star of the British classical music...the charismatic British master of the baton"
Kaunas Artists' House Lithuanian Arts News Website, Sept 2016

The chance to hear a Pelléas this good at venues right across the country is a rare one, and one that should be seized.
TheArtsDesk, Oct 2015

Jonathan Berman conducted with energy, clarity and admirable phrasing………..Pelléas et Mélisande contains a great deal of ravishing music, and… is beautifully played and sung in this production
BachTrack, Oct 2015

Repertoire
Jonathan has performed an extensive range of music spanning over 300 years up to the present day, including many world premieres. He is equally at home in the symphonic as well as in the operatic world and has conducted over 30 operas in Italy, Netherlands, U.K. and the US. His exceptional musicianship and intellectual approach to the score come to shine especially in the Austro-Hungarian repertoire of the 19th century and the contemporary music, which he performed with international orchestras and ensembles such as London Philharmonic Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble Modern and London Sinfonietta.
