Registrations are now being accepted for the League’s 2022 Bruno Walter National Conductor Preview, hosted by the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra on March 16 and 17 in New Orleans, LA. Registration is free for League orchestra and institutional members. One of the orchestra field’s most prestigious events for conductors to showcase their talent, the Preview offers: two days of rehearsals; networking between the conductors and industry professionals; a meeting with Henry Fogel, an authority on the conductor search process; and a public concert featuring music by Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn, Jessie Montgomery, Ravel, and Stravinsky. The Preview provides orchestra search committees, artist managers, and artistic administrators with front-row access to watch and evaluate participants in rehearsal as well as live in performance. Postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic, the 2022 Preview will feature all six conductors from the original 2020 line-up. The conductors are: Bertie Baigent, assistant conductor, Colorado Symphony; Tong Chen, assistant conductor, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra; Gonzalo Farias, associate conductor, Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra; Norman Huynh, associate conductor, Oregon Symphony, and music director, Bozeman Symphony Orchestra; Yuwon Kim, conducting fellow, Curtis Institute of Music; and François López-Ferrer, assistant conductor, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
