Biography
David Robertson

David Robertson — conductor, artist, composer, thinker, and American musical visionary — occupies the most prominent podiums in opera, orchestral, and new music. He is a champion of contemporary composers, and an ingenious and adventurous programmer. Robertson has served in numerous artistic leadership positions with ensembles including the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (as chief conductor and artistic director), St. Louis Symphony Orchestra (a 13-year tenure as music director), Orchestre National de Lyon, BBC Symphony Orchestra, and, as a protégé of Pierre Boulez, the Ensemble InterContemporain.

Robertson appears with the world’s great orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and Vienna Philharmonic, as well as many major ensembles and festivals on five continents. Since his 1996 Metropolitan Opera debut, he has conducted a breathtaking range of projects at The Met, including the 2019–20 season opening premiere production of the Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, for which he shared a Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording, in March 2021. In 2022 he conducted The Met’s revival of the production, and made his Rome Opera debut conducting Janáček’s Káťa Kabanová.

Robertson’s honors include being named a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of France, as well as numerous artistic awards. He serves on the Tianjin Juilliard Advisory Council, complementing his role as director of conducting studies, distinguished visiting faculty of The Juilliard School, New York.
