Equally passionate in both symphonic and lyrical repertoire, French conductor David Molard Soriano was invited these past years by a large range of orchestras and opera houses: Bordeaux National Opera (Madama Butterfly and ballet Don Quixote), Orchestre National de Metz, the Romanian Radio Chamber Orchestra, Opéra Orchestre national de Montpellier during the Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, the Russian National Orchestra, Opéra national de Lorraine, Orchestre national des Pays de la Loire at the Folles Journées de Nantes, Orchestre national de Bretagne, Opéra de Limoges, Luxembourg Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre symphonique de Saint-Etienne, and the Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra with Oscar-winner Gabriel Yared. Since 2021, he is a regular guest conductor at the Brașov Philharmonic Orchestra.
In 2023/24, he made successful debuts in Monaco with all the artistic forces (Philharmonic Orchestra, Opera and Ballets of Monte-Carlo, Cecilia Bartoli Academy) in a new production of Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortilèges and Balanchine's La Valse (Ravel's Valses nobles et sentimentale & La Valse), a real triumph in the frame of Rainier III's centenary.
The 2024/25 season will focus on developing his relationship with Brașov Philharmonic Orchestra; he will also go back to the Orchestre national de France.
As Paavo Järvi's assistant conductor from 2014 to 2018, David Molard Soriano worked with him at the Orchestre de Paris and at the Estonian Festival Orchestra (Pärnu Music Festival and BBC Proms). At the same time, he assisted conductors Fabien Gabel and Gustavo Dudamel at the Rencontres Musicales d'Evian. In 2019, he was appointed Assistant Conductor of the Orchestre National de France: until 2022, he worked with Music Directors Emmanuel Krivine and Cristian Macelaru and conducted several concerts and recordings with this leading orchestra.
In 2022, he founded the “Rencontres Musicales” at Château d’Ainay-le-Vieil (France) where he assembles his own festival orchestra. The very successful previous editions featured soloists Marie-Ange Nguci, Florian Sempey, Manon Galy, Raphaël Sévère, Catherine Trottmann, Anaëlle Tourret among others. Next edition will take place in this wonderful medieval castle in August 2025, with cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière among other programs.
As the founder & Music Director of the Orchestre des Jeunes d’Île-de-France, comprised of the best musicians of the young generation, David Molard Soriano presented top-class concerts with a thrilling repertoire – including Saint-Saëns’ 3rd symphony on the greatest French organ with Thomas Ospital, and the French edition of Vadim Repin’s famous Trans-Siberian Festival featuring Jean-Claude Casadesus and Nicholas Angelich in Lille.
He was a semi-finalist at the Besançon International Competition for Young Conductors in 2021.
