Alan Gilbert Biography

Alan Gilbert is one of the most popular and richest Conductor who was born on February 23, 1967 in New York City, New York City, United States. Alan Gilbert (born February 23, 1967) is an American conductor and violinist. He is a past music director of the New York Philharmonic (2009–2017), and is currently principal conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra.

He is the first New York City-born conductor to be named music director of the New York Philharmonic. For his inaugural 2009/10 Philharmonic season, Gilbert introduced a number of new initiatives, including the presence of Composer-in-Residence Magnus Lindberg and Artist-in-Residence Thomas Hampson. The festivals and tours he has introduced include CONTACT – the Philharmonic’s new-music series; and a major tour of Asia and the Middle East in October 2009, with debuts in Hanoi and Abu Dhabi. In February 2015, the orchestra announced the scheduled conclusion of Gilbert’s tenure as music director at the end of the 2016-2017 season.

From 1995 to 1997, Gilbert was an assistant conductor with the Cleveland Orchestra. In 1997, he won the Seaver/National Endowment for the Arts Conductors Award.
