His 2019-20 season includes returns to work with Ensemble Intercontemporain at the Philharmonie Luxembourg and Cit\\xe9 de la musique in Paris, and the orchestras of Opera North and Op\\xe9ra de Rouen. He is also set to conduct a retrospective of music by Irish composers, comprising works by Brian Boydell, Ina Boyle and Stanford, with the RT\\xc9 National Symphony Orchestra in Dublin and the world premiere of Tscho Theissing\\u2019s Genia at Theater an der Wien, a major contribution to Beethoven Year 2020.
