Recent highlights include his debut performance at New York's Carnegie Hall, leading the Greek Youth Symphony Orchestra, and a highly acclaimed, last-minute jump-in to conduct the London Philharmonic Orchestra in Brahms 4 at the Megaron, when Cannelakis was taken ill at the very last-minute.
Grammenos has conducted the Houston Symphony Orchestra, Belgian National Orchestra, Orchestre Symphonique de Québec, and Cameristi della Scala, collaborating with distinguished soloists such as Khatia Buniatishvili and Renaud Capuçon. In the coming months, he is set to make his first recording with the Philharmonia Orchestra in London.
On the opera stage, Grammenos has conducted Puccini La Bohème with New Zealand Opera and English Touring Opera and Rossini La Cenerentola with the Royal Northern Sinfonia at Nevill Holt Opera.
As Artistic Director of the Greek Youth Symphony Orchestra, he regularly performs at the Megaron in Athens and has led the orchestra in performances at prestigious venues including Berlin’s Konzerthaus (twice), and Amsterdam's Concertgebouw. In December 2025, the orchestra will perform with acclaimed soloist Leonidas Kavakos under Grammenos's direction.


Dionysis Grammenos first came into contact with music as a child through the sound of the wind bands in his native island Corfu in Greece, and took up the clarinet. 
He quickly gained an international reputation by winning the 1st Prize at the European Young Musicians Competition by the European Broadcasting Union in Vienna at the age of 18 and the title of the "European Young Musician of the Year 2008".
His passion for the symphonic repertoire, opera and the human voice gave him the impetus to embark on a conducting career.
He made his conducting debut at the age of 21 with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra.
Grammenos was awarded the ECHO Rising Star Prize as an instrumentalist in 2013 and a Fellowship as a conductor at the Aspen Music Festival in 2016.
He is Founder & Artistic Director of the Greek Youth Symphony Orchestra.
