Since then, Capuçon has established himself as a soloist at the highest level. He performs with leading orchestras such as the Berliner Philharmoniker, Wiener Philharmoniker, Boston Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Filarmonica della Scala, London Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Münchner Philharmoniker, and Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra. Highlights of the 2025/26 season include two appearances at Carnegie Hall, a European tour with the Budapest Festival Orchestra under Iván Fischer, and returns to the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Staatskapelle Berlin, and Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.

Capuçon has represented France at some of the world’s most prestigious international events: He has performed with Yo-Yo Ma under the Arc de Triomphe for the official commemoration of Armistice Day in the presence of more than 80 heads of state and played for world leaders at the G7 Summit in Biarritz. More recently, Capuçon performed at the reopening ceremony of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris with his brother, cellist Gautier Capuçon, which was attended by more than 1,500 international dignitaries.

Since 2021, Capuçon has been the Artistic Director of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne. He is regularly invited to conduct leading orchestras including the Wiener Symphoniker, Karajan-Academy of the Berliner Philharmoniker, Gürzenich Orchester Köln, and Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse. Guest engagements as a conductor in the 2025/26 season include a tour with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, returns to the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra and Orchestre National de Mulhouse, and debut guesting weeks with the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen, and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s as part of its Bach Festival at Carnegie Hall.

He is the Artistic Director of three festivals: the Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad since 2016; the Easter Festival in Aix-en-Provence, which he founded in 2013; and, most recently, the Rencontres Musicales festival in Évian from 2023.

Capuçon has built an extensive discography. In September 2022, he announced the launch of his creative partnership with Deutsche Grammophon and two months later released his first album with the Yellow Label—a collection of violin sonatas performed with Martha Argerich. Capuçon’s latest album, released in 2025, presents a compendium of works by Richard Strauss.

Capuçon plays the Guarneri del Gesù “Panette” (1737), which belonged to Isaac Stern.
