Dionysis Grammenos has conducted several of the world’s finest orchestras, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, stepping in at the eleventh hour to conduct Brahms’s Symphony No. 4 at the Megaron and joining them again in March 2026; the Houston Symphony, with whom he recently made his US debut; and the Philharmonia Orchestra for Signum Classics. He has also conducted the Belgian National Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Symphonique de Québec, Royal Northern Sinfonia, Cameristi della Scala, Lucerne Festival Strings and Ulster Orchestra. In the 2026/27 season, he makes his debuts at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and the Tonhalle Zürich, and collaborates with Yefim Bronfman and the Athens State Orchestra in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 and Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, as well as with Steven Isserlis and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra in Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 and Brahms’s Symphony No. 3, among other engagements. He has worked with soloists such as Leonidas Kavakos, Khatia Buniatishvili, Renaud Capuçon, Noah Bendix-Balgley, Anna Fedorova and Mahan Esfahani. He is regularly praised for his innate and instinctive musicianship, the clarity and efficiency of his conducting, and his ability to shape the sound of an orchestra.


Dionysis Grammenos first came into contact with music as a child through the sound of the wind bands on his native island of Corfu, Greece, where he took up the clarinet.

He quickly gained international recognition, winning First Prize at the European Broadcasting Union’s European Young Musicians Competition in Vienna at the age of 18 and being named “European Young Musician of the Year 2008.”

His passion for the symphonic repertoire, opera and the human voice led him naturally towards conducting, making 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 Conducting Fellowship at the Aspen Music Festival in 2016.

He is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Greek Youth Symphony Orchestra, the National Youth Orchestra of Greece, which he has led to major international stages including Carnegie Hall, the Konzerthaus Berlin, St Martin-in-the-Fields in London and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. 

In 2026, Grammenos founded Orchestre Visionnaire, bringing together some of the finest musicians from across Europe. The orchestra made its debut by special invitation at the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
