Artistic Director – European FilmPhilharmonic Institute, Berlin<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A conductor whose international reputation is built on repertoire of unusual stylistic diversity,
Frank Strobel has long been recognised as a leading figure in the space where film meets music.
In particular, he has played a crucial role in bringing film concerts into leading opera houses and
concert halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He conducts orchestras such as the Filarmonica della Scala, HR-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt,
London Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Seattle
Symphony, Staatskapelle Dresden, Sydney Symphony and the Tonhalle-Orchester Z\u00fcrich.
Strobel enjoys a close-knit collaboration with the Alte Oper Frankfurt, Palais des Beaux Arts in
Brussels, the Philharmonie in Cologne and Paris as well as with the Konzerthaus Vienne. Recently
he helt the position as Chief Conductor of the WDR Funkhausorchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights of the 2025\/26 season include tributes to Ennio Morricone in Berlin, Dracula in Paris,
Phantom of the Opera in Los Angeles, and Die Nibelungen in Vienna.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

His most important film projects include Napoleon (2024), Nosferatu (2023), Ivan The Terrible
(2016), J\u2019accuse (2014), Metropolis (2010), Nibelungen (2010), Battleship Potemkin (2009),
Rosenkavalier (2006), Romeo & Juliet (2006) and Alexander Nevsky (2003). He was a founding
member of the Europ\u00e4ische FilmPhilharmonie in 2000, an institution dedicated to the artistic
development of music and film in the concert hall. This has given rise to such ambitious projects
as Matrix Live at London\u2019s Royal Albert Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within his vast discography the series with film suites by Alfred Schnittke, to which Strobel
retains the adaptation rights, were received to great critical acclaim. The fifth release of this
series received an Opus Klassik Award in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n
