Christian Lindberg’s career as a conductor was initiated when the Royal Northern Sinfonia persuaded him to conduct a programme in October 2000. A stunning review in The Guardian convinced him to continue, and within a year he had been appointed music director of both the Nordic Chamber Orchestra and the Swedish Wind Ensemble, positions that he held between 2004 and 2012. From 2009 until 2019 he was principal conductor of the Norwegian Arctic Philharmonic, and between 2016 and its dissolution in 2021 he was artistic and music director of the Israel NK Orchestra, proclaimed the finest orchestra in Israel by the Israeli Council for Art and Culture, alongside the Israel Philharmonic. Furthermore Christian Lindberg appears frequently as guest conductor with orchestras such as the Nippon Yomiuri Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Liverpool and Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestras, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, the Helsinki and Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestras, Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, Giuseppe Verdi Symphony Orchestra of Milan, RTVE Symphony Orchestra, Taipei Symphony Orchestra, Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra and Nürnberger Symphoniker. Lindberg conducts on a number of highly acclaimed discs, among which the award-winning series of symphonies by his compatriot Allan Pettersson with the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra deserves special mention. He also has a uniquely wide-ranging discography as a trombonist.
