Scott Dunn

American conductor and pianist Scott Dunn – one of the most versatile and capable musicians of his generation – has appeared with the BBC, Los Angeles, St. Petersburg and Royal Philharmonics; the Vienna Radio (RSO) and BBC Concert Orchestras; the Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Sydney and Vancouver Symphonies; the Cleveland Orchestra, the American Composers Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Luke’s; Orchestre National de Lyon; and numerous other distinguished ensembles and headliners. Also an orchestrator of note, his 2023 release I WATCH YOU SLEEP with Claire Martin and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was hailed as Album (and title track) of the Year by The Arts Desk U.K. A noted advocate of contemporary music, cross-over and film music, Dunn has premièred works by the world’s most distinguished composers and appeared throughout the United States and Europe as conductor, recitalist and collaborator. Since his momentous 1999 Carnegie Hall début playing his own orchestration of the ‘lost’ Vernon Duke Piano Concerto in C, Dunn has brought light to neglected works of composers such as Franco Alfano, Vernon Duke, and Duke Ellington as well as his mentors Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, Lukas Foss, Leonard Rosenman and others. A pianist of great distinction, Dunn was a student of Byron Janis. Also a former assistant to Lukas Foss, Dunn has served as Associate Conductor of the Los Angeles Phil’s Hollywood Bowl Orchestra since 2007 . Scott Dunn is a Steinway Artist.
