ADAM FLATT NAMED NEW DPO MUSIC DIRECTOR

The Denver Philharmonic Orchestra has appointed Adam Flatt as its new Music Director and Conductor. Maestro Flatt succeeds former music director Horst Buchholz to become the fourth music director to lead the orchestra since its founding in 1948. Flatt will make his first official appearance as conductor on October 8, 2010 at KPOF Hall. The soon to be announced 2010-11 Season will mark his first full season as Music Director. The appointment concludes a two-year search led by a committee of Denver Philharmonic musicians and members of the Board of Directors. “We are delighted that our search effort has concluded with the announcement of Adam Flatt as our next music director and conductor,” says executive director Russell Klein. “Adam stood out as having the proven leadership experience, depth of musicality, and affable stage presence we were seeking. He has a strong track record of building new audiences and combining music with community service through outreach. We welcome Adam as a dynamic new leader who will play an important role in ensuring the Denver Phil continues providing metro Denver with high quality performances at affordable prices.” Based in Denver, Mr. Flatt is music director of the Colorado Ballet and Oregon’s Newport Symphony and is principal conductor of Emerald City Opera, a summer festival in Steamboat Springs. He also appears as a guest conductor with many ensembles.
