He has collaborated with conductors such as Sergiu Celibidache, Charles Dutoit, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Yehudi Menuhin, Jun Märkl, Yutaka Sado, Franz Welser-Möst, Andris Nelsons and Marcello Viotti.

Ingolf Turban's commitment to the work of Niccolò Paganini has achieved critical acclaim, such as his 2006 performance with the New York Philharmonic, the complete recordings of the six violin concertos (Telos Records) and in the TV documentary "Paganini's Secret" (merkur.tv). In 2005, Turban founded the chamber orchestra "I Virtuosi di Paganini".

His extensive repertoire of all musical styles has been documented on over 40 CD productions. Many works, for which he presented highly acclaimed premier recordings, have now found their way into the common concert repertoire.

In 2006 Ingolf Turban, who had taught at the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts for eleven years, accepted a position at the University of Music and Theater in Munich. In 2021 he received the International Classical Music Award
