Originally from Cincinnati, OH, distinguished symphony and opera conductor David Effron grew up in a musical family. His father was concert-master of the Cincinnati Symphony for 28 years, and his mother was the pianist for that orchestra.

After earning Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees in piano at the University of Michigan and Indiana University, respectively, Effron received a Fulbright grant for study in Germany and began his

professional career as an assistant to General Music Director Wolfgang Sawal-lisch at the Cologne Opera. Returning to the United States in 1964, he joined the conducting staff of the New York City Opera, a position he held for 18 years.

In his early career as a pianist, he accompanied such artists as George London, Placido Domingo, and Sherrill Milnes in recital and collab-orated with soprano Benita Valente as her accompanist for a decade.

As a prominent educator, Effron taught at the Curtis Institute of Music from 1970 to 1977. As the head of the orchestral program at the Eastman School of Music from 1977 to 1998, he trained hundreds of instrumentalists who are now in professional orchestras worldwide. His conducting students presently hold positions ranging from the assistant conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra to music director positions in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and South America. Since 1998, he has served as professor of conducting at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where he was appointed chairman of the Conducting Department in the fall of 2005.

A highly-sought-after guest conductor with a repertoire of all the standard symphonic works, as well as 105 operas, Effron’s 40-year career has included ap-pearances with major symphony orchestras and opera companies in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, and the Far East. The summer of 2007 marked his eleventh and final season as artistic director and principal conductor of the Brevard Music Center in North Carolina, during which time the board of the Bre-vard Music Center established a Principal Artistic Director/ Principal Conductor Chair in his honor. Effron was also honored with the title of Conductor Laureate.

In 1984, Effron was the conductor for the Grammy Award-winning re-cording of Copland’s Lincoln Portrait. His discography also includes a 1987 Pantheon recording with Benita Valente, which won the German Critics Prize. He joined forces with flutist James Galway for an RCA recording of John Corigliano’s Pied Piper Fantasy, winning a top prize from Ovation Magazine.

In 2003, Effron received the Musicians of the Year Award from the National Foundation of Music Clubs. In recognition and acknowledgement of his pedagogical contributions, he was honored in the spring of 2004 with the unveiling of a portrait to be displayed at the University of Rochester’s prestigious Eastman School of Music.

In the spring of 2006, Effron was awarded an honorary doctorate from North Carolina State University.

André Watts, Jack I. and Dora B. Hamlin Endowed Chair in Music at the Jacobs School, burst upon the music world at the age of 16 when Leonard Bernstein chose him to make his debut with the New York Philharmonic in their Young People’s Concerts, broadcast nationwide on CBS-TV. Only two weeks later, Bernstein asked him to substitute at the last minute for the ailing Glenn Gould in performances of Liszt’s E-Flat Concerto with the New York Philharmonic, thus launching his career in storybook fashion. More than 45

years later, André Watts remains one of today’s most celebrated and beloved superstars.During the 2006-07 season, Watts celebrated his 60th birthday and the 50th

anniversary of his debut (with the Philadelphia Orchestra). In honor of this milestone and his numerous achievements and contributions to the world of classical music, he was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame in June 2006. During that special season, Watts performed with many of the American orchestras with which he has had close relationships for many years, including the Philadelphia Orchestra in Philadelphia and Carnegie Hall, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Atlanta, St. Louis, National, Indianapolis, Seattle, and Milwaukee symphonies. During the 2007-08 season, he makes an 11-city tour of the East Coast with the Bergen Phil-harmonic, which includes a concert at Carnegie Hall and a recital tour to Japan.

In addition to his regular visits to the major summer music festivals, including Ravinia, Tanglewood, Saratoga, the Mann Music Center, Mostly Mozart, and the Hollywood Bowl, Watts’s recent engagements include appearances with the New York Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra, and the Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Hous-ton, Dallas, and Cincinnati symphonies; a tour with the Israel Philharmonic, with performances in Boston, Chicago, and Atlanta; a Carnegie Hall appearance with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra; and a European tour with the Baltimore Symphony.

Watts has had a long and frequent association with television, having appeared on numerous programs produced by PBS, the BBC, and the Arts and Entertainment Network, performing with the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Philadel-phia Orchestra, Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, among others. His 1976 New York recital, aired on the program Live From Lincoln Center, was the first full-length recital broadcast in the history of televi-sion, and his performance at the 38th Casals Festival in Puerto Rico was nominated for an Emmy Award. His most recent television appearances are with the Philadelphia Orchestra and with the Seattle Symphony, Gerard Schwarz conducting, for PBS.

Watts’s extensive discography includes recordings of works by Gershwin, Chopin, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky for CBS Masterworks; recital CDs of works by Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt, and Chopin for Angel/EMI; and recordings featuring the concertos of Liszt, MacDowell, Tchaikovsky, and Saint-Saëns on the Telarc la-bel. He is also included in the Great Pianists of the 20th Century series for Philips.

Among his many honors, Watts, who has played before royalty in Europe and heads of government in nations all over the world, was selected to receive the Avery Fisher Prize in 1988.
