DUNN, SCOTT Scott Dunn is an acclaimed conductor and pianist who, since his 1999 Carnegie Hall début, has appeared repeatedly in major venues throughout the United States and Europe. He has a long and close relationship with his friend and mentor, Lukas Foss and from 1999 to 2001 served as Foss’s associate music director for the Music Festival of the Hamptons, a post in which Dunn earned considerable critical acclaim.
Scott Dunn’s first European orchestral conducting engagements followed in 2000–2001 and in 2002 Maestro John Mauceri appointed him conducting assistant for the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in Los Angeles. Also a sought-after vocal collaborator, Dunn makes frequent recital and concert appearances with such distinguished singers as Joyce Castle, Kurt Ollmann and Angelina Reaux. In 2003, Dunn made his first European opera conducting appearances leading multiple performances in Tuscany of Puccini’s La bohème, Weill’s Kleine Mahagonny and other works.
As a piano soloist, Dunn made his first Carnegie Hall solo appearance in 1999 with Dennis Russell Davies and the American Composers Orchestra playing the world première of his own orchestration of Vernon Duke’s ‘lost’ 1923 Piano Concerto in C. An avid recording artist, his previous recordings for Naxos include Vernon Duke’s Piano Concerto (8.559286) and the complete piano works of Lukas Foss 8.559179). Of Dunn’s work as a solo recitalist and advocate for American piano music critic Alan Rich recently wrote…“In a time when we are best with young emergent performers of limited repertory delivered with unlimited flamboyance, the splendid young pianist Scott Dunn’s varied and visionary program was remarkable.” Dunn resides in New York and Los Angeles.
