Perick's conducting posts include:

His work in contemporary music has included conducting the premiere of Wolfgang Rihm's opera Oedipus in October 1987.[2]

Perick became Music Director of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra in 2001. He stepped down from this post in 2010[3] and served as the orchestra's conductor laureate for the 2010-2011 season.[4]

From 2006 to 2011, Perick was Music Director of the Bayerisches Staatstheater Nuremberg, including the post of principal conductor of the Nürnberg Philharmonic. In addition to his conducting posts, since 1999, he has been a professor of conducting at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Hamburg. In July 2015, the Beethoven Orchester Bonn announced the appointment of Perick as its interim Generalmusikdirektor for the 2016-2017 season.[5]
