As the Chief Conductor, Brabbins leads the Symphony Orchestra of India into its landmark 20th year, promising fresh repertoire, world premieres, and a deeper bond with musicians and audiences alike
This February the Symphony Orchestra of India (SOI) entered its 20th anniversary season, and the celebrations began with concerts by the great masters Britain’s Martyn Brabbins and Italy’s Carlo Rizzi.
A frequent SOI guest conductor over the years, Brabbins opened SOI Spring 2026 leading the SOI for the first time as its Chief Conductor. The global maestro took the podium recently where he conducted two performances with the SOI, beginning with classical composers on the first night with Mussorgsky, Beethoven, Holst and ending with Mendelssohn, Mahler and Shostakovich. Known for his expressive command of symphonic and operatic works and deep musical insight, his concerts brought some of the most beloved and impactful works in the orchestral repertoire.
Martyn Brabbins shares his plans for SOI as Chief Conductor, his excitement on taking up the responsibility, his favorite classical composers, his musical journey and of course his memories of Mumbai.
