Tenor Jesse Donner is rapidly emerging on the operatic and concert stage with a voice that is “vibrant” (Chicago Classical Review), “fresh and juicy” (Chicago Tribune). During the 2016–17 season the tenor will be heard in

Lyric’s productions of Das Rheingold, Die Zauberflöte and Norma. As a second year Ryan Opera Center member during the 2015–16 Lyric season, Donner sang the roles of Abdallo (Nabucco), Kellner (Der Rosenkavalier) and covered the lead tenor roles of General Alfredo in the world premiere of Bel Canto, Ismaele in Nabucco, and the Drum Major in Wozzeck. He was featured as a solo artist in the Harris Theater’s Beyond the Aria with soprano Christine Brewer.

The 2014–2015 season brought Donner to Chicago for his debut with the Lyric Opera in the roles of Diener (Capriccio) Walther (Tannhäuser) and covering Walter (The Passenger). For his performance in Tannhäuser, Opera News remarked that “Jesse Donner fielded a notable Walther, who could be heard pealing above the ensembles.” On the concert stage, he debuted with Chicago’s Civic Orchestra in Poulenc’s Les mamelles de Tirésias and returned later in their season as tenor soloist in Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor. Donner also appeared this season with the Adrian Symphony as a tenor soloist in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.

A Des Moines native, Donner won the 2015 Luminarts Fellowship and the Bel Canto grand prize, received the 2014 George Shirley Award for Opera Performance, a special encouragement award from the 2014 Metropolitan Opera National Council Regional Auditions, and first place in the 2012 Michigan Friends of Opera Competition. He recently

completed graduate and post-graduate studies at the University of Michigan and previously received a bachelor of music degree from Iowa State University.

Kirk Muspratt (Music Director and Conductor) was recently named a “Chicagoan of the Year” by music critic John von Rhein and the writing staff of the Chicago Tribune. In honoring Muspratt, von

Rhein said, “Ask the delighted adults and kids who flocked to his concerts...with the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra... They will tell you he made concert going an interactive experience that was both enlightening and—are you ready?—fun.” Recognized as one of the outstanding figures in the new generation of conductors, Muspratt has garnered international critical acclaim and was hailed as a “born opera conductor” (Rheinische Post) and “a knowledgeable musician who delivers superbly controlled, gorgeously shaped readings” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). The Los Angeles Times declared, “Watch him!”

Muspratt begins his 17th highly acclaimed season as music director of the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra. In his first 16 seasons, he has instituted several highly commended programs that include a popular Solo Competition for Children that results in a child performing at almost every Northwest Indiana Symphony concert. He has also implemented an Orchestral Fellowship Program with Valparaiso University and his vision was instrumental in founding the South Shore Summer Music Festival.

One of his most highly praised new projects at NISO has been the innovative collaborations with the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists. Together they have presented

Northwestern University seminar for singers, and most recently at the SAI National Convention in St. Louis. Muspratt recently completed a six-year tenure on the board of directors of the Conductors’ Guild.

Having always enjoyed working with young people, he has conducted the Pennsylvania Regional Orchestra and the Pennsylvania All-State Orchestra. He has conducted the Boston University Tanglewood Orchestra at the Tanglewood Festival.

Muspratt has been the recipient of numerous awards, among them grants from the Canada Council and the Presser Foundation. In 1983 and again in 1984, he was winner of the Strauss Conducting Prize while a conducting student at the Vienna Conservatory. During his tenure in Utah, he received the first Utah Up’n Comers Award ever given to a classical musician. This honor was awarded for his work and involvement in the Utah Arts Community. In 1987, he was named winner of the prestigious Exxon/Affiliate Artists Award. Muspratt was named a “Professional to Watch” by the Times of Northwest Indiana in 2013.

In 2006, Muspratt was initiated as a National Arts Associate with the Lake County Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity. He is the first such Distinguished Member in Northwest Indiana. A National Arts Associate is a

man or woman who is nationally recognized for distinguished contribution to the arts. He joins the likes of other SAI National Arts Associates such as Van Cliburn, Keith Lockhart, Henry Mancini and Wynton Marsalis.

He is a native of Crows Nest Pass, Alberta, Canada. His early training was as a pianist. After leaving Alberta, he studied in St. Louis and New York with Harold Zabrack. Muspratt continued in both a bachelor’s and master’s performance program at Temple University with Adele Marcus and Alexander Fiorillo. Subsequent to that he went on to study conducting at the Vienna Conservatory of Music. He became a citizen of the United States in November 2010. This season he will make his debut conducting appearance with The Joffrey Ballet.

Benjamin Nadel is a conductor, vocal coach and pianist based out of Chicago. Currently he is the assistant conductor and orchestra librarian for the New Philharmonic and Northwest Indiana Symphony. In the past he has also conducted, coached and played piano for summer opera programs at Northwestern University and the Midwest Institute of Opera, where he worked with Joshua Greene from the Metropolitan Opera. Nadel recently completed his MA in Orchestral Conducting at the University of Iowa, where he studied with Dr. William LaRue Jones. Before that he attended Illinois State University, where he studied with Dr. Glenn Block.

La Traviata, Die Fledermaus, Carmen and La Boheme.

In order to involve the community to the maximum, he has created “Just Ask Kirk™” cards for audience members’ questions, “Interactive Intermissions” and “Cookies with Kirk” for patrons and musicians of the orchestra, chorus and youth orchestra to meet, and a “Kirkature™” cartoon to help advocate the credo: “Symphonic music is for everyone.” He also writes monthly columns in two local newspapers during the concert season.

In July 2004, Muspratt was named both music director of New Philharmonic and artistic director/music director of DuPage Opera Theatre. In 2011, New Philharmonic was awarded “Professional Orchestra of the Year” by the Illinois Council of Orchestras. In his first nine seasons, productions at the DuPage Opera Theater featured repertoire including Faust, Otello, Tosca, Turandot, and Carmen. Repertoire at the New Philharmonic was equally adventurous, including the world premieres of the Stybr Variations for Contrabassoon and Orchestra, Taylor Firefly Orrery and Lofstrom Oboe and Harp Concertinos.

In his first months at the New Philharmonic, Muspratt instituted a Side-by-Side program for local high school students and an Interactive Intermission Project involving both the musicians of the orchestra, opera and the patrons.

From 1991 through 1996, he served as resident conductor to Lorin Maazel at the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Prior to this, he was appointed as associate conductor to Joseph Silverstein at the Utah Symphony Orchestra (1990–1992). From 1987 through 1990, he served as assistant conductor to Leonard Slatkin at the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra as well as music director of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra. He was music director of the Alberta Ballet from 1997 through 1999. At the New York Philharmonic, Muspratt has served as a cover conductor.

Muspratt has guest conducted the orchestras of Los Angeles, Montreal, London, Korean Broadcast Symphony, Detroit, Rochester, National Arts Center, Vancouver, Knoxville, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton, Victoria, New Orleans, Stamford, Binghamton, South Bend, Lafayette, Puchon, Annapolis, Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra and Baltimore Chamber Symphony.

Summer debuts have included the Tanglewood, Chautauqua and Sewanee Music Festivals. He has also conducted at the Banff Center for Performing Arts.

In Europe, he was assistant conductor in the opera houses of Monchengladbach/Krefeld, Germany, from 1985 to 1987. His American opera conducting debut came with the Utah Opera in 1991. He returned there to premiere Mascagni’s L’Amico Fritz. Maestro Muspratt has conducted Die Fledermaus for the Calgary Opera, Faust and Merry Widow for the Utah Opera, Of Mice and Men, Il Barbiere di Siviglia for the Arizona Opera and Amahl and The Night Visitors at the Opera Illinois, all to stunning critical acclaim.

In 1983 and 1984, Muspratt was invited to be a scholarship student at the Chautauqua Institute and in 1986 was selected as a Conducting Fellow at the Aspen Music Festival. A year later, he was invited into the Conducting Program at the Tanglewood Festival. In 1988, he was chosen to be one of three Conducting Fellows for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute at the Hollywood Bowl.

As a teacher, Muspratt has taught at the Conductors’ Institute of the University of South Carolina, the Conductors’ Guild National Workshops, Association of Canadian Orchestras National Conference in Toronto, the Conductors’ Studio at Illinois State University and at Westminster Choir College in Princeton. During the summer, he has taught graduate conducting classes at VanderCook College of Music, at the
