CONDUCTOR
Karen Gorden

“An admirable and gifted conductor indeed.”  American Composers Orchestra

Conductor Karen Gorden is attracting attention as one of the most vibrant and compelling conductors on the international classical music scene today.

Described by The American Composers Orchestra as “a conductor for any ensemble that expects to work at a high level of professionalism and looks to make music with creativity and purpose,” Gorden first came to international attention at the 50th Geneva International Conducting Competition (Concours international d’exécution musicale de Genève), where she was awarded the jury’s Special Prize.

In North America, she has been invited to the podiums of leading symphony orchestras including the National Symphony Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.  As a visiting conductor, Gorden holds the distinction of being invited for return concerts by every orchestra she has guest-conducted.
