DAVID ALAN MILLER

GRAMMY Award-winning conductor David Alan Miller has established a reputation as one of the leading American conductors of his generation. Music director of the Albany Symphony since 1992, through exploration of unusual repertoire, educational programming, community outreach and recording initiatives, he has reaffirmed the ensemble’s reputation as the nation’s leading champion of American symphonic music and one of its most innovative orchestras.

A native of Los Angeles, Miller studied at the University of California, Berkeley and The Juilliard School. From 1988 until 1992, he served as associate conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and from 1982 to 1988 was music director of the New York Youth Symphony. Miller won the 2001 ASCAP Morton Gould Award for Innovative Programming and, in 1999, ASCAP’s first-ever Leonard Bernstein Award for Educational Programming.

The ground-breaking contemporary music ensemble Dogs of Desire, formed by Miller in 1994 and made up of members of the Albany Symphony, has commissioned hundreds of new works from emerging American composers and gained a national reputation among young composers as a proving ground for emerging talent.
