Scott Dunn is the Associate Conductor of the LA Philharmonic’s Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. His 2011/2012 schedule includes appearances with the Atlanta Symphony, the Colorado Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony and the LA Philharmonic with guitarist Trey Anastasio of Phish; Vernon Duke’s ‘ORPHIC TRILOGY’ in Russia with the St Petersburg Philharmonic; a Hollywood Bowl tribute concert to Serge Gainsbourg with Beck, Sean Lennon, Lulu Gainsbourg, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and others; a Carnegie Hall performance of Mohammed Fairouz’s SUMEIDA’S SONG; premieres for American Opera Projects; and the West Coast premiere of Phillip Glass’s rarely heard ANOTHER LOOK AT HARMONY PART IV – which caused the LA TIMES’ Mark Swed to rave…
Scott Dunn conducted almost as if he were in the trance of sacred Bruckner. The final, ecstatic section was pure rapture.
Dunn made his 1999 Carnegie Hall debut performing his own orchestration of Vernon Duke’s PIANO CONCERTO IN C. More recently, Dunn also reconstructed Duke’s 1934 END OF ST PETERSBURG oratorio, Duke’s 1937 DEDICACES and edited the new VERNON DUKE SONG BOOK. Other recent projects include orchestration supervision of Danny Elfman’s RABBIT AND ROGUE for Tywla Tharp; publication of Dunn’s orchestration of Schoenberg’s CABARET SONGS by Belmont/Universal Editions as well as numerous appearances with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and elsewhere with such popular headliners Chris Botti, Natalie Cole and others.
Also a distinguished pianist, Dunn studied with Byron Janis and records exclusively for NAXOS.
