SCOTT DUNN
Born in rural Iowa, Scott Dunn is a distinguished conductor and pianist who made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1999 with Dennis Russell Davies and the American Composers Orchestra playing the world premiere of his own orchestration of Vernon Duke's lost "Piano Concerto in C". He has since appeared repeatedly in major venues and with major orchestras throughout the US and Europe. From 1999-2001 he served as associate music director to Maestro Lukas Foss for the Music Festival of the Hamptons where he earned considerable raves from the press "he is a conductor of great promise, a pianist of note, and a sensitive and intelligent artist. All of these elements came together to give the audience an experience closer to heaven than most of us will get in this lifetime and I cannot praise Mr. Dunn's conducting too highly."  more>>>
