Keith Brion
Guest Conductor |
Keith Brion has led his popular Sousa at
the Symphony performances
with nearly all of
America's major and regional
orchestras and in
countless repeat performances.
In addition, he has
led numerous general
pops programs. He also
tours nationally with his
own New Sousa Band. The authentic Sousa
programs are a fulfillment of his longstanding
ambition to take a fresh look at
America's musical traditions. These modern
recreations have proved to be as alive today
as they were over a century ago. Building on
Sousa’s own considerable background as a
violinist and orchestral composer, they are
the result of research in libraries, newspapers,
museums, interviews with former
Sousa band members, and the study of old
recordings. He is a past pops conductor of
the Harrisburg Symphony and of Palo Alto’s
Summer Symphony series. He has made
numerous recordings. Mr. Brion is a former
director of the Yale University Band, which
he led at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center,
and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
