“Exploring works that express doomed romance and the intense emotions that come with it, the MSO’s Forbidden Love concert at Hamer Hall presented a soaring tempest of anguish and ecstasy.”

“A glance at the programme for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra’s Wednesday matinee suggested one thing: light music. Yet the opposite – both darkness and heaviness – made its presence felt throughout.”

“This concert by the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal under the direction of guest conductor Fabien Gabel was tailor-made to display the sonic splendors of this virtuoso ensemble, with three works from the early 20th century bracketing a Philip Glass piano concerto.”

Blossom Music Festival’s final concert praised as “the unexpected apogee of the season.”

Fabien Gabel will be the next Music Director of the Tonkünstler Orchestra beginning with the 2025/26 concert season.

Fabien will make his Chicago Symphony Orchestra debut on April 20-23 conducting a program including Rachmaninoff's piano Concerto No. 3 with soloist Daniil Trifonov, as well as his Toronto Symphony Orchestra debut on April 26-29 conducting a program including Tchaikovsky'sVariations on a Rococo Theme with soloist Jean-Guihen Queyras.

Fabien will make his Baltimore Symphony Orchestra debut on March 9-12, conducting a program of Mahler and Klezmer, as well as his Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra debut on March 17-18 as part of the orchestra's Classical Series.

On November 15, 2022, Fabien Gabel made his debut with l’Opéra National de Paris at the Opéra Bastille conducting their ‘22/’23 production of Bizet’s Carmen, directed by Calixto Bieito who takes a uniquely modern approach to the classic.

Fabien will be returning to conduct the production in late January, with performance dates from the 28th of this month to February 25th. Tickets are available for purchase here.

Gabel’s 2021-22 season features a return to live, in-person performances in packed theaters across Europe, America, and the world.
