指揮／多利安．威爾森
Conductor: Dorian Wilson

多利安․威爾森為伯恩斯坦關門弟子之一，24歲時，即於丹麥馬爾科國際指揮大賽嶄露頭角。奪獎之後，莫斯科愛樂為他量身打造了名為「第二指揮」的席位，不但使他成為俄國十五年以來第一位美國指揮，也創下莫斯科愛樂最年輕指揮的記錄。威爾森為俄羅斯國家交響樂團第一位客席指揮，亦經常客席聖彼得堡愛樂以及德意志廣播愛樂，常年活躍於歐洲樂壇。

2007年，聖彼得堡交響樂團授予威爾森「終身客席指揮」榮銜。他率領聖彼得堡交響樂團赴中國和西班牙演出；為紀念海頓逝世二百年，2009年於西班牙巡迴演出16場《創世紀》音樂會。

自1989年以來，威爾森在國際指揮大賽中所向披靡，參賽必贏，共拿下九項獎座，包括米特羅波斯指揮大賽、孔德拉辛指揮大賽、東京國際大賽、義大利佩卓地指揮大賽、托斯卡尼尼指揮大賽、馬爾科指揮大賽以及西貝流士指揮大賽等，專業能力受到國際樂壇的肯定。

Dorian Wilson, one of Leonard Bernstein’s last students, first received international recognition at the 1989 Malko International Conducting Competition, at age 24. As a result he was asked to be the second conductor for the Moscow Philharmonic; an unprecedented appointment in Russia; making Wilson the first American guest conductor in fifteen years and, at 25 years old, the youngest conductor in their history. Later Wilson was to be the first guest conductor of the Russian National Orchestra. He continues his close associations in Russia, especially with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic where he frequently conducts, as well as with the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie.

Between 2003 and 2007 Wilson was Principal Guest Conductor, then Music Director of the Belgrade Philharmonic, culminating with tours of Scandinavia in 2006. In October 2006 Wilson conducted a 9 concert tour of Spain with the Berliner Symphoniker. Future tours include China and Spain with the St. Petersburg Symphony, as well as a massive 16 concert production of Haydn’s “The Creation” throughout Spain, celebrating the composer’s 200th anniversary. In 2007 Wilson was bestowed with the title “Permanent Guest Conductor” with the St. Petersburg Symphony.

As recognized by the International Federation of Music Competitions, Wilson has won more International prizes for conducting than any other conductor. Since 1989 Wilson has won an additional 8 prizes in every conducting competition he has entered, virtually every one of the world’s major competitions: Dimtri Mitropoulos; Athens, 1996, Kiril Kondrashin; Amsterdam, 1994, Tokyo International; Tokyo, 1994, Antonio Pedrotti; Italy, 1991, Arturo Toscanini; Italy, 1990, 1992, Nicolai Malko; Copenhagen, 1989, 1992 and Jean Sibelius; Helsinki, 1995.
