Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla
Conductress

“… a uniquely resplendent, life-affirming recording, far and away the most impressive conductor debut on disc”

– LA Times

Mirga Gražinyte-Tyla was named Music Director of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in February 2016 following in the footsteps of Sir Simon Rattle, Sakari Oramo and Andris Nelsons. 

In spring 2019 Deutsche Grammophon released Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla’s debut-CD. It delighted critics and listeners worldwide and was hailed as an essential contribution to the rediscovery of Mieczysław Weinbergs Œuvre, winning also the Opus Klassik and Grammophon Awards later in 2020. The recording was the result of a cooperation of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Kremerata Baltica and Gidon Kremer, with whom she has been in an intensive artistic exchange since 2013.

A second recording was released by Deutsche Grammophon in November 2019. This features works by her compatriot Raminta Šerkšnytė and was followed by her most recent CD „The British Project“ including works by Elgar, Britten, Walton and Vaughan Williams in July 2021.
