Gustavo Gimeno, previously committed to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra as its music director into 2025, has signed a contract that will keep in him that role through the 2029-30 season. The star Spanish conductor began his leadership role with the orchestra during the 2020-21 season, succeeding long-time director Peter Oundjian.
The 46-year-old Gimeno, who made his conductorial debut with the TSO in 2018, has led the country’s leading orchestra through the pandemic and into current centennial-season festivities marked by a recent gala performance with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Still to come is a return to the TSO’s ancestral home , and concerts at Chicago’s Orchestra Hall, New York’s Carnegie Hall and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
“It is my extreme pleasure to continue to lead this tremendous orchestra,” Gimeno said in a statement. “The special bond that the musicians and I share, and the incredible audiences here in Toronto, have truly made me fall in love with this great city. I am honoured to be able to guide this remarkable ensemble into the future.”

In 2025, he will become music director of the Teatro Real opera house in Madrid, where he currently serves as music director designate. The TSO’s chief executive officer sees Gimeno’s job in Spain as a plus.
“I have a personal belief that some of the greatest conductors I’ve worked with or seen and experienced were great opera conductors,” Mark Williams told The Globe and Mail. “I think that has to do with the fact that in opera you are working with drama.”
