“Norman Huynh is excited to take over as conductor for the Bozeman Symphony,” writes Chet Layman on Tuesday (6/8) at KBZK TV (Bozeman, MT). “Huynh was chosen by the symphony board from a list of 6 candidates.… He has already begun his work and says he remains optimistic for the coming fall season. A schedule is being worked on and should be released soon…. Born in 1988, Huynh is a first-generation Asian American and the first in his family to pursue classical music as a career. He is currently the Harold and Arlene Schnitzer Associate Conductor of the Oregon Symphony and maintains an international guest-conducting schedule…. In 2011, he co-founded the Occasional Symphony in Baltimore to celebrate holidays by performing innovative concerts in distinct venues throughout the inner city…. As the Assistant Conductor of the Portland Symphony Orchestra from 2013-2016, Huynh visited over sixty schools across the state of Maine and co-founded Symphony & Spirits, a series of events for young professionals, between the ages of 21-39l… Huynh is an alum of the Aspen Music Festival’s Conducting Academy, studying with Robert Spano.” At the Bozeman Symphony, Huynh replaces Matthew Savery, who stepped down in February 2019.
