About
The Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse has amply earned its reputation as one of the preeminent French orchestras working today. The adventurous dynamism instilled by its previous Music Directors, Michel Plasson followed by Tugan Sokhiev, has afforded it a level of renown that stretches far beyond the borders of France. In addition to a busy season of symphonies in the storied Hall aux Grains, as well as opera and dance productions at the Théâtre du Capitole, the Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse is regularly invited to perform on some of the most prestigious national and international stages, as well as throughout the Occitanie region, further consolidating its local roots and openness to all audiences.
Beginning in September 2025, Tarmo Peltokoski took over as Music Director for his first season. Under his direction, the Orchestra will continue its work aimed at all audiences as well as further expanding its international outreach. With Peltokoski, the orchestra will record a cycle of Vaughan Williams’s symphonies and the associated French repertoire for the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon recording label.
