As a conductor, Pintscher has a great affinity with contemporary music, alongside composers such as Beethoven, Berlioz, Bruckner, Ravel, Debussy and the Second Viennese School.
In 2013, Pintscher was appointed music director of the Ensemble intercontemporain and he assumed the post of principal conductor of the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra in September 2016.
As a guest conductor, Pintscher has led many orchestras in Europe, the United States and Australia, inclusing the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
