"Christian Baldini brings symphonic revival" commented the Buenos Aires Herald on Baldini's recent concerts at the Teatro Argentino featuring Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring and Varèse's Amériques. Based in California, Baldini conducts regularly several international orchestras including the Munich Radio Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Buenos Aires Philharmonic, BBC Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, National Symphony Orchestra (of Argentina and the US), Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto (Portugal), San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, and conducts opera for the Aldeburgh Festival (United Kingdom), Mondavi Center, and the Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires). He made his conducting debut in Salzburg at the Award Weekend when an international jury distiguished him and two other conductors out of ninety-one submissions worldwide for the Nestlé/Salzburg Festival Young Conductors Award. From 2014 until 2016 Baldini served as cover conductor for Michael Tilson Thomas with the San Francisco Symphony. He made his debut conducting the SF Symphony in December 2014 and was immediately re-engaged as a guest conductor. During the 2014-15 season, Baldini conducted 11 concerts with the San Francisco Symphony, including 7 subscriptions.
