American conductor Scott Dunn has recently led the Atlanta Symphony, BBC Concert Orchestra and Singers, BBC Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, Sydney Symphony, Vienna Radio Orchestra (RSO) and other distinguished ensembles and has shared the stage with many star headliners – Trey Anastasio, Beck, Bill Charlap, Billy Childs, Natalie Cole, Elvis Costello, Sutton Foster, Steve Martin, Leslie Odom Jr., Rufus Wainwright, Wynonna and others.
Dunn is a passionate promoter of American and contemporary music, including film scores and cross-over composers – ranging from George Gershwin and Vernon Duke to Leonard Rosenman and Danny Elfman. Also a distinguished pianist and arranger orchestrator, he made his momentous Carnegie Hall debut playing the premiere of his own orchestration of the ‘lost’ Vernon Duke Piano Concerto.
He was a student of pianistic legend Byron Janis and a former assistant to Lukas Foss. Since 2012 he has served as Associate Conductor for the LA Phil’s Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
