Benjamin Zander is the conductor of The Boston Philharmonic
Orchestra and the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and a
guest conductor around the world. With London's famed
Philharmonia Orchestra he is recording the complete cycle of
Mahler symphonies, recordings that have been received with
extraordinary critical acclaim both for the performance and
Zander's now famous full-length disc explaining the music for
the lay listener. Their recordings of Mahler 9th and Bruckner's
5th Symphony were nominated for Grammys for Best Orchestral
Performance. Their latest recording, Mahler's 2nd Symphony, was
nominated for a Grammy in 2014.
In 1967, Mr. Zander joined the faculty at New England
Conservatory, where he taught an interpretation class, conducted
the Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, and conducted the conservatory
orchestras. For 30 years he was the Artistic Director of the
joint program between New England Conservatory's Preparatory
School and The Walnut Hill School for the Performing Arts in
Natick, Massachusetts.
Mr. Zander is one of the most sought after speakers in the
world. He has given both the opening and the closing Keynote
address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where on another
occasion he was awarded the Crystal award for "outstanding
contributions in the Arts and international relations". In 2002
he was awarded the "Caring Citizen of the Humanities" Award by
the International Council for Caring Communities at the United
Nations. In honor of his 70th birthday, and 45 years of
teaching, he was recently awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the
New England Conservatory.
His partner Rosamund Zander and he have collaborated on a
best-selling book, "The Art of Possibility" which has been
translated into fifteen languages.
