KEY CREATIVE TEAM JAYCE OGREN Conductor With mounting success in both symphonic and operatic repertoire, Jayce Ogren is building a reputation as one of the finest young conductors to emerge from the United States in recent seasons, and has recently been named the new Artistic Director of Orchestra 2001 in Philadelphia. Jayce began the 2016/17 season leading concerts with the Utah Symphony, the Brevard Music Festival, the Colorado Symphony and performances of Rufus Wainwright’s Prima Donna in Montreal—a work premiered in New York and recorded for Deutsche Grammophone with the BBC Symphony. Jayce leads a concert version of the work at the Paris Philharmonie at the end of the season. Jayce guests also with the Princeton Symphony, at the Casa da Musica in Portugal, and returns to the Indianapolis Symphony in a season of repertoire ranging from an all-Mozart program to Vaughan Williams’ Third Symphony and Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique to John Luther Adams’ Inuksuit and Harold Meltzer’s Variations on a WARREN TREVELYAN-JONES CHORUS MASTER Summer Day in a performance at Brooklyn’s National Sawdust and subsequent recording. Jayce has led the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa with Emanuel Ax; Basil Twist’s Rite of Spring with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Lincoln Center’s White Light Festival; the New York Philharmonic in their CONTACT! series of contemporary music; and new productions of Benjamin Britten’s Turn of the Screw and Rossini’s Mosè in Egitto with the New York City Opera as Music Director, as well as Mozart’s The Magic Flute and Bernstein’s A Quiet Place, which won extensive critical acclaim. Jayce debuted with the Canadian Opera in Stravinsky’s The Nightingale & Other Short Fables and reprised The Turn of the Screw in staged performances with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
