Six conductors have been chosen by an adjudication panel of leading artistic executives from a pool of more than 150 applications from around the world. Selected for their podium talent and commitment to American orchestras, the conductors will lead the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra over two days of rehearsals, culminating in a public concert at the historic Orpheum Theater in New Orleans.
The League's Bruno Walter National Conductor Preview is one of the field's most prestigious events for conductors to showcase their talent nationally. Attending search committees and artist managers will have intimate, front-row access to watch and evaluate participants in rehearsal. Ample time is also available to meet and have productive conversations with the participants. A free public concert brings the Preview to a close, with each conductor leading the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra in a short program featuring masterworks, 20th century masterpieces, and music of our time.
