Biography
Brandon Keith Brown grew
up in Chicago, where he studied violin and composition from the age of
nine. He soon developed a wider interest in all instruments, and the
range of sounds associated with each of them; as a result he took the
path of conducting. Brandon went on to study in Baltimore, where he
graduated from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. His
early mentors included the likes of Lorin Maazel, David Zinman and
Gustav Meier.
Winner of the
prestigious 2012 Sir Georg Solti International Conductors' Competition
in Frankfurt, the young maestro received invitations to conduct the
Badische Staatskapelle and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester in Berlin (who
have re-invited him this season). He was also invited to lead the Neue
Philharmonie Westfalen in a successful tour of seven concerts throughout
Germany, "playing with a freedom that we had not heard for years,
the Neue Philharmonie Westfalen was reborn under the baton of Brandon
Keith Brown "(Recklinghäuser Zeitung - February 2014). In 2013, he
was observed by Kurt Masur who invited him to Leipzig under the
Mendelssohn Scholarship, where he studied alongside the German master,
conducting the Leipziger Symphonieorchester in concert.
In
the US, he has received invitations from the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the Baltimore Symphony
Orchestra, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra and this season
will direct a program devoted to Mozart with the Cayuga Chamber
Orchestra.
In recent seasons,
Brandon has been invited by the Castleton Festival in Virginia, under
the direction of Lorin Maazel and the American Academy of Conducting at
Aspen, alongside David Zinman.
Fascinated
by the opera repertoire which he studied alongside Lorin Maazel,
Brandon Keith Brown has been working as assistant conductor in
productions by Mozart, Puccini and Britten.
