Hailed by critics for his “astonishing precision, highly expressive gestures and warmth” as “a name to remember”, the Estonian conductor Mihhail Gerts has made a name for himself following successful debuts with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Staatskapelle Dresden, Orchestra Sinfonica dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.

Gerts has appeared before more than 60 different orchestras, among them: City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, Helsinki Philharmonic, Gulbenkian Symphony Orchestra, Luxembourg Philharmonic, Belgian National Orchestra, Sydney Symphony, Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra, Slovenian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Monte Carlo Philharmonic, Sofia Philharmonic, NHK Tokyo, Osaka Philharmonic, Taiwan National Orchestra and many others.

Since 2021 Gerts is the founder and artistic director of the TubIN festival dedicated to promoting the music of one of the greatest symphonic composers of the 20 th century Eduard Tubin.

In addition to his symphonic concert career, Gerts has also gained extensive operatic experience as First Kapellmeister and deputy GMD of the Hagen Theater (2015 to 2017) and resident conductor of the Estonian National Opera (2007 to 2014) where he conducted over forty different productions of opera and ballet.
