ABOUT THE CONDUCTOR

Hailed for delivering compelling performances of innovative, eclectic

programs, BRETT MITCHELL begins his tenure as Music Director

of the Colorado Symphony with the 2017-18 season. His inaugural

season features such guest artists as Renée Fleming and Yo-Yo Ma, as

well as a significant commitment to a broad range of American music,

from Copland, Bernstein and Gershwin to Kevin Puts, Mason Bates

and Missy Mazzoli.

Mitchell is also in consistent demand as a guest conductor. Recent and

upcoming guest engagements include the orchestras of Columbus,

Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Oregon, Rochester,

Saint Paul, San Antonio and Washington (National Symphony

Orchestra), among others. His summer 2017 festival appearances

included the Blossom Music Festival with The Cleveland Orchestra,

the Grant Park Orchestra in Chicago, the National Repertory

Orchestra in Breckenridge, the Sarasota Music Festival and the Texas

Music Festival in Houston. He has previously collaborated with such

soloists as Rudolf Buchbinder, James Ehnes, Augustin Hadelich, Leila

Josefowicz and Alisa Weilerstein.

Mitchell recently completed a four-year tenure as a member of The

Cleveland Orchestra’s conducting staff. He joined the orchestra as

Assistant Conductor in 2013, and was promoted to Associate

Conductor in 2015, becoming the first person to hold that title in over

three decades and only the fifth in the orchestra’s hundred-year

history. In these roles, he led the orchestra in several dozen concerts

each season at Severance Hall, Blossom Music Center and on tour.

From 2013 to 2017, Mitchell also served as the Music Director of the

Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra.

From 2007 to 2011, Mitchell led over one hundred performances as

Assistant Conductor of the Houston Symphony, to which he

frequently returns as a guest conductor. He also held Assistant

Conductor posts with the Orchestre National de France, where he

worked under Kurt Masur from 2006 to 2009, and the Castleton

Festival, where he worked under Lorin Maazel in 2009 and 2010. In

2015, Mitchell completed a highly successful five-year appointment as

Music Director of the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra.

As an opera conductor, Mitchell has served as music director of nearly

a dozen productions, principally at his former post as Music Director

of the Moores Opera Center in Houston, where he led eight

productions from 2010 to 2013. His repertoire spans the core works

of Mozart, Verdi and Stravinsky to contemporary works by Adamo,

Aldridge, Catán and Hagen. As a ballet conductor, Mitchell most

recently led a production of The Nutcracker with the Pennsylvania

Ballet in collaboration with The Cleveland Orchestra during the 2016-

17 season.

Born in Seattle in 1979, Mitchell holds degrees in conducting from the

University of Texas at Austin and composition from Western

Washington University, which selected him as its Young Alumnus of

the Year in 2014. He also studied at the National Conducting Institute,

and was selected by Kurt Masur as a recipient of the inaugural

American Friends of the Mendelssohn Foundation Scholarship. Mitchell

was also one of five recipients of the League of American Orchestras’

American Conducting Fellowship from 2007 to 2010.
