Hello Everyone!

I am thrilled to share that on September 23, 2012, I won 3rd Prize at the 2012 Sir Georg Solti International Conducting Competition in Frankfurt Germany! Chosen as “…the stand-out audience favorite…” over 7 days, I competed against 22 candidates chosen from 405 applicants and 70 countries and received a cash prize of 5000 Euros. The level was exceptionally high and I am honored to be counted among such great colleagues. The performance was critically acclaimed at the Alte Oper with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. The finals repertoire included Ravel’s Daphnes and Chloe Suite No. 2 and Wagner’s Reinzi Overture. Please see my website for video of the complete concert (click on the picture of Solti) available for a limited time. 

Recently, I signed with William Reinert and Associates for worldwide management. Bill Reinert brings over 20 years of experience in supporting artist and I am thrilled to be working with him while I am based in Chicago this year.

Thank you all for your interest and support as I travel the never-ending road of music and I look forward to hearing from you!

Most sincerely,

Brandon Keith Brown

"The American Brandon Keith Brown succeeded with the most convincing reproduction of Ravel's work...[Daphnes and Chloe Suite No. 2] His interpretation of... Wagner's opera overture to Rienzi was with him an exciting affair full of spirit and creativity, he avoided any factual-cool approach. Here a young conductor was on the podium, who knew how to create their own musical language and to breathe with the orchestra." www.klassik.com--Midou Grossmann
