"The success of the evening owed much to the American conductor Keith Lockhart, whose friendly, informative and enthusiastic style encouraged the BBC Concert Orchestra to give one of their best performances." —Chichester Observer

"Lockhart was an authoritative leader who drew detailed, polished playing from the musicians and set excellent tempos. Conducting without a baton, his gestures were fluid and catlike as he swept up his players in the music's drama." —The Cincinnati Enquirer

"The energy and attention to detail imparted by Lockhart and the BPO made a persuasive argument for periodic performance of this delightful symphony. " —Buffalo News

About

Keith Lockhart currently serves as Conductor of the Boston Pops and Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the summer institute and festival at the Brevard Music Center. He recently completed his highly successful 11-year tenure as Music Director of the Utah Symphony where his leadership of the symphony allowed him to stand at the front of that organization’s historical merger with the Utah Opera to create the first-ever joint administrative arts entity of the Utah Symphony and Opera. Since the merger, arts institutions nationally and internationally have looked to Maestro Lockhart as an example of . . . an innovative thinker on and off the podium.

Keith Lockhart has conducted the Symphony Orchestras of Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Montreal, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Baltimore, Atlanta, St. Louis, Nashville, North Carolina, Indianapolis, Singapore, Toronto and Vancouver as well as the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and the National Arts Centre Orchestra. Recent engagements include a return appearance with the Vancouver Symphony and debuts with the symphonies of Nashville and North Carolina as well as the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Glasgow. He made his debut with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in January of 2005 and led that ensemble on a tour of the UK. In the 2008-2009 season, Maestro Lockhart returned to the Boston Lyric Opera for performances of Offenbach’s Tales of Hoffmann and will travel to Australia for performances with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
