He serves as Principal Guest Conductor of the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI and was Chief Conductor of the Basque National Orchestra from 2017-2025. He was also Chief Conductor of the Malmo Symphony Orchestra 2019-2021 and has taken many orchestras on international tours, including, among others, Germany, Austria, France and Italy. Starting with the 2026/27 season he assumes the position of Principal Conductor of George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra.

In 2026/27 Robert Trevino will return to Orchestra della Svizzera italiana, Orchestra Philharmonique de Strasbourg, Sinfonieorchester Basel, and Toscanini Orchestra. Other concert activities will take him to Baltic Sea Philharmonic, Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, Belgrade Philharmonic, Sofia Philharmonic, Fondazione Haydn di Bolzano, among others, as well as to Opéra de Liège (Capriccio).

Trevino’s opera work has included productions at Washington National Opera as well as recent productions at Opernhaus Zürich (Turandot) and La Fenice (Don Giovanni).

His recording contract with Ondine resulted in a complete Beethoven symphonies cycle, two Ravel albums, a Rautavaara album and “Americascapes” – a widely acclaimed survey of little-known American masterpieces, that won ‘Best Recording of 2021’ from Presto Music and was shortlisted for a Gramophone Award. “Americascapes 2 – American Opus” was released in late 2024. A cycle of Bruch symphonies with the Bamberger Symphoniker was released by CPO, now considered the modern reference recording.
