DAVID AMOS David Amos is one of the leading conductors to champion the music
of AmericaÂ’s major traditionalist composers of the twentieth century.
During the past 25 years he has recorded more than 130 compositions,
including many premières, on some thirty compact discs. These
recordings, highly praised in the press, have introduced listeners to
lesser-known works by such composers as Nicolas Flagello, Arnold
Rosner, Paul Creston, Vincent Persichetti, Vittorio Giannini, Ernest
Bloch, and many others. As a result of his efforts, other conductors
have been inspired to perform and record many of the works he first
championed. David Amos has conducted many of the worldÂ’s leading
orchestras, including the London Symphony, the Israel Philharmonic,
the Royal Philharmonic, the Polish Radio, and the Jerusalem
Symphony Orchestras. He is also the founder and music director of
the TICO Orchestra of San Diego. David Amos began his musical
studies in Mexico City, continuing his education at San Diego State
University, before pursuing doctoral studies at the University of
Indiana. In addition to conducting, he has hosted and produced a longrunning
radio series on contemporary music, and writes a regular
music column for the San Diego Jewish Times. He is in frequent
demand as a lecturer, guest conductor, and adjudicator in music
competitions.
