W,
Fort
Worth Symphony Orchestra today announced the appointment of conductor
Kevin John Edusei as the orchestra’s next Principal Guest Conductor.
Mr.
Edusei has conducted widely across Europe, where he is known as a
conductor who is deeply committed to the creative elements of
performance, presenting classical music in new formats, cultivating
audiences, introducing music by under-represented composers, conducting
an eclectic range of repertoire from the baroque to the contemporary,
and shaping his concert programs to communicate a dramaturgical
narrative.
Mr. Edusei’s initial three-year term begins with the 2022-23 Season. He will serve as Principal
Guest Conductor Designate beginning January 1, 2022, and become Principal Guest Conductor on
August 1, 2022. He succeeds Robert Spano, who was formerly the FWSO’s Principal Guest Conductor,
before becoming Music Director Designate on April 1, 2021. Mr. Spano assumes the title of Music
Director on August 1, 2022, and he and Mr. Edusei will collaborate on programming and orchestra
development. Former Music Director Miguel Harth-Bedoya will remain as Music Director Laureate. Mr.
Edusei’s appointment as FWSO’s Principal Guest Conductor marks his first in the U.S.
