MAESTRO TROY QUINN

Troy Quinn PhotoAmerican conductor Troy Quinn is quickly establishing himself as one of his  generation’s most versatile young artists. Lauded for his energetic and riveting, yet  sensitive conducting, Quinn is in his fifth season as Music Director of The Venice Symphony and he is also in his sixth season as Music Director of the Owensboro  Symphony in Kentucky.  Quinn’s  engagements have included performances with many prestigious orchestras in the  United States, including the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Rochester Philharmonic  Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, and the Rhode Island Philharmonic,  where he serves as the Summer Pops conductor. He is also the former Music Director  of the Juneau Symphony. 

Since making his conducting debut with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra  in their young conductor preview, Quinn has been the recipient of numerous  accolades, including awards from the Presser Foundation, Rislov Foundation, Anna  Sosenko Assist Trust, and a Rhode Island Foundation grant for his contributions to the  musical landscape in New England. Equally at home in the pops and commercial  world, Quinn has performed and recorded with some of the most popular artists of  our time, including The Rolling Stones, Barry Manilow, Lee Greenwood, Josh Groban,  Jennifer Hudson, Rockapella, Michael Feinstein, and Linda Eder. As an accomplished  vocalist, Quinn has also collaborated with such prominent maestros as Helmuth  Rilling, Carl St. Clair, and Dan Saunders of the Metropolitan Opera. In addition to his  concert work, Quinn has worked extensively in the television and recording industry,  having made appearances on such hit TV shows as Fox’s GLEE, NBC’s The Voice, and  The Tonight Show with Jay Leno while recording on films like The Call of the Wild and  Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He has also appeared at many  of the world’s major music centers and at such famed venues as the Hollywood Bowl  and Walt Disney Concert Hall. 

A native of Connecticut, Quinn pursued a bachelor of arts degree from  Providence College where he was the recipient of the Leo S. Cannon award for  superior achievement in the music field. He went on to earn his masters degree with  honors from the Manhattan School of Music, studying conducting with David Gilbert  and voice with highly acclaimed Metropolitan Opera singer Mark Oswald. He  completed his doctorate in conducting at the University of Southern California’s  Thornton School of Music, where he studied with Larry Livingston and Jo-Michael  Scheibe and was awarded the outstanding doctoral graduate of his class. Quinn has  participated in numerous masterclasses as a conducting fellow, attending conducting  institutes at the Royal Academy of Music, Eastman School of Music, and Bard  Conservatory of Music. He has been mentored by such renowned conductors as  Benjamin Zander, Neil Varon, and Leon Botstein. Quinn serves on the conducting  faculty at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music and has  previously served as a faculty member at Providence College.
