David Danzmayr

Austrian conductor David Danzmayr is currently in his fifth season as Music Director of the Oregon Symphony. Acclaimed for his ‘emotionally rewarding’ performances and command of the Late Romantic repertoire, particularly Mahler, he also serves as Music Director of the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra in Ohio. He maintains a close relationship with the Zagreb Philharmonic, where he previously served as Chief Conductor, leading them on tours to the Vienna Musikverein and Salzburg Festival Hall. Danzmayr trained at the University Mozarteum Salzburg under Dennis Russell Davies and began his career as Assistant Conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.

Now a sought-after guest conductor, he works with major ensembles across North America (including the Seattle, Atlanta, and St Louis symphonies) and Europe (including the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen). A prizewinner at the Gustav Mahler and Malko competitions, he regularly collaborates with soloists such as Emanuel Ax, Sir Stephen Hough, and Yo-Yo Ma.
