Giancarlo Guerrero, Conductor

Conductor Giancarlo Guerrero is in his fifth season as music director of the Eugene Symphony, where his contract was recently extended for a second term. In his first two seasons in Eugene, he conducted a series of all nine Beethoven symphonies. A champion of new music, he initiated a guest-composer series with the Eugene Symphony. Under his leadership, the ensemble

has hosted several of America’s most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Jennifer Higdon, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Michael Daugherty. As a guest conductor, Guerrero debuted with The Cleveland Orchestra in May 2006, leading an all-orchestral program of music from Wagner’s “Ring” Cycle. He has also recently made successful debuts with several other major American orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. Other recent orchestral engagements in North America include appearances with the orchestras of Columbus, Detroit, Houston, Minnesota, Oregon, Nashville (where he opened and closed the 2005-06 season), North Carolina, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, and the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C., among others. In addition, Guerrero regularly conducts in Central and South America. In June 2004, Guerrero was awarded the Helen M. Thompson Award by the American Symphony Orchestra League, which recognizes outstanding achievement among young conductors nationwide. Born in Nicaragua and raised in Costa Rica, Guerrero received his bachelor’s degree in percussion from Baylor University in Texas and his master’s degree in conducting from Northwestern University in Illinois. His principal conducting teachers were Michael Haithcock, Stephen Heyde, Victor Yampolsky, and Guillermo Scarabino. Prior to his tenure with the Minnesota Orchestra, he served as music director of the Tachira Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela. (Photo by Bailey)

Alexander Kerr’s expressive and charismatic style has made him one of the most accomplished and versatile violinists on the international music scene today. In 1996, at the age of 26, Kerr was appointed Concertmaster of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After nine successful years at that post, he left in June 2006 to assume the endowed

Linda and Jack Gill Chair in Music as Professor of Violin at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Kerr, now 38, is the string department’s youngest violin professor. In addition to his teaching responsibilities in Bloomington, he maintains a busy concert schedule, appearing with orchestras and in recital

and chamber music performances throughout the U.S., Asia, and Europe and will continue his duties as principal guest concertmaster of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.

Raised in Alexandria, Va., Kerr began his studies at age seven with members of the National Symphony Orchestra. He went on to study with Sally Thomas at The Juilliard School and with Aaron Rosand at The Curtis Institute of Music, where he received his Bachelor of Music in 1992.
