ISO Announces New ISO Music Director!!

Conductor Krzysztof Urbanski becomes the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s seventh Music Director effective Sept. 1, 2011, and at age 28, is the youngest music director among major orchestras in the United States. Urbanski will return to Indianapolis to conduct in concerts on May 20 and 21 and will lead the ISO in its Opening Night Gala in September 2011.

Undoubtedly one of the most interesting conducting talents to emerge in recent years, Urbanski has been attracting a considerable amount of attention throughout Europe where he is respected by orchestras, critics and audiences alike. He took the position of Chief Conductor of the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra for the 2010-2011 season and was appointed to that role the week after his highly successful debut. In April of 2010, Urbanski made his U.S. debut with the Indianapolis Symphony and returned for a second visit during Marsh Symphony on the Prairie in June. In September, the ISO’s search committee unanimously voted to appoint Mr. Urbanski to the post, and the ISO musicians overwhelmingly supported the recommendation.
