Since 2014, Manze has been the chief conductor of the NDR Radiophilharmonie in Hanover. In addition to a busy touring schedule within Germany, Manze and the orchestra have made two successful tours to China and have embarked on a major series of award-winning recordings, focussing on works of Mendelssohn and Mozart. In the 2018/19 season he was appointed principal guest conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
As a guest conductor, Manze has long-standing relationships with leading orchestras including the Munich Philharmonic, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and Camerata Salzburg. He is also a regular guest at the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York City.
In 2017, Andrew Manze made his debut with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducting works by both Johann Sebastian and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Haydn, Beethoven and Hillborg. In February 2021 he returned for an all-Mozart concert stream.
