Music Director of the Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra<\/strong><\/span> British born conductor James Judd is sought after\u00a0for both his passionate musicianship and his charismatic presence on and off the podium. Known for his extraordinarily communicative style and bold, imaginative programming, repeat engagements in concert halls from Prague to Tokyo, from Istanbul to Adelaide, attest to his rapport with audiences and musicians alike.<\/span><\/p>\n A graduate of London\u2019s Trinity College of Music, Mr. Judd came to international attention as the Assistant Conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra at the invitation of Lorin Maazel, and appointed Associate Music Director of the European Community Youth Orchestra by Claudio Abbado. Since then, James Judd has led the Berlin Philharmonic and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestras; he has conducted in the great concert halls of Europe as the Salzburg Mozarteum and Vienna\u2019s Musikverein; and made guest appearances with orchestras as the Vienna Symphony, Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig, Prague Symphony, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, the Monte Carlo Symphony, the Brussels Philharmonic, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Seoul Philharmonic, Japan\u2019s NHK Orchestra and the Mozarteum Orchestra of Salzburg, and the major British ensembles as the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Hall\u00e9 Orchestra, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and the English Chamber Orchestra. He was co-founder of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, which he led on tours throughout the United States, the Far East and Europe. In North America he is a frequent guest conductor with the orchestras of St. Louis, Montreal, Cincinnatti, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Seattle, Indianapolis, Utah, Vancouver and Ottawa. As opera conductor, he has appeared with the English National Opera conducting productions of Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Rigoletto, <\/em>and Le Nozze di Figaro<\/em>; and at the Glyndebourne Opera Festival in Rossini\u2019s La Cenerentola<\/em>. James Judd also served as Artistic Director of the Florida Grand Opera from 1993-1996.<\/span><\/p>\n During his eight years as Music Director of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra,\u00a0\u00a0Judd brought the ensemble to a new level of visibility and international renown with acclaimed recordings for the Naxos label of works by Copland, Bernstein, Vaughan Williams, Gershwin and many others. Other music directorships have included Principal Guest Conductor of the Orchestre National de Lille in France and a groundbreaking 14 years as Music Director of the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An outstanding exponent of the works of Gustav Mahler, Judd\u2019s performances of this composer have been praised the world over. His recording of Mahler\u2019s Symphony No. 1 was awarded the Gold Medal by France\u2019s Diapason<\/em> as well as the Toblacher Komponierh\u00e4uschen for the best Mahler recording of the year. His live recordings of Mahler\u2019s Symphonies No. 9 with the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra and No. 10 with the European Community Youth Orchestra received enthusiastic international praise, and his performance of Elgar\u2019s Symphony No. 1 with the Hall\u00e9 Orchestra is still a highly-regarded reference standard today. He recorded Brahms symphonies with the Royal Philharmonic and works by Copland, Steve Reich, Takemitsu, Gershwin, Bernstein and Bernard Herrmann as well as works by British composers such as Elgar, Lilburn, Vaughan Williams, Tippett and many others. Judd\u2019s many orchestral recordings are also featured on the Decca, EMI and Philips labels and the complete operas by Meyerbeer and Donizetti on the Opera Rara label.<\/span><\/p>\n Recent concert highlights have included performances of Britten’s War Requiem<\/em> in Bucharest and Bernstein’s Mass<\/em> at the Radio France Festival, staged performances of Carmina Burana<\/em> at the ruins of Masada, a concert with the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Palace in Monaco, a month long tour with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and a tour of Asia celebrating the 25th<\/sup> anniversary of his Asian Youth Orchestra as well as concerts with the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra, the Slovenian National Orchestra, the Noord Nederlands Orchestra and Vadim Repin, and three concerts in Berlin as part of the celebrations of Yehudi Menuhin\u2019s centenary in the famous Konzerthaus.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] Descargar BIO en PDF<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] Download BIO PDF<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_social_media_follow _builder_version=”3.0.87″ link_shape=”rounded_rectangle”][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”facebook” url=”https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/James-Judd-558005354290977\/?fref=ts” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_color=”#3b5998″ bg_color=”#3b5998″ link_shape=”rounded_rectangle” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”] Facebook [\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Web: http:\/\/www.jamesjudd.net<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.7″]
