Arthur Arnold Tickets

Arthur Arnold is a Dutch-born conductor whose career bridges European and Canadian stages. Based in Powell River, British Columbia, he co-founded and serves as Artistic Director of the PRISMA Festival & Academy, a renowned platform for orchestral music and emerging talent in the heart of British Columbia’s coastal community. Arnold’s leadership has helped shape a distinctive festival voice that blends traditional masterworks with contemporary projects, inviting audiences to experience bold programming in intimate venues like the Evergreen Theatre and Willingdon Beach.

Beyond his work with PRISMA, Arnold helmed the Moscow Symphony Orchestra as Music Director from 2012 to 2022, resigning in March 2022 in protest of the Ukraine invasion. This decision underscores his commitment to artistic integrity and social responsibility, values that inform his ongoing artistic projects today.

Arnold is also the founder of The Mosolov Project, a initiative dedicated to reviving and recording Nikolai Mosolov’s orchestral works. Notably, the project released Mosolov’s Symphony No. 5 and Harp Concerto on the acclaimed Naxos label in 2020, enriching the modern repertoire with Mosolov’s distinctive voice.

As we look ahead, Arthur Arnold continues to shape the classical scene with ambitious programming and international collaborations. The 2025 PRISMA Festival features the world premiere of Mosolov’s Symphony No. 3, staged June 27 at Evergreen Theatre in Powell River, BC, alongside other cornerstone works by Mahler, Shostakovich, Berlioz, and Mosolov No. 3.
