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
