As a guest conductor Amado has led numerous prominent orchestras. In addition to the St. Louis Symphony, where he served as associate conductor from 2001 to 2004, he has led the Philadelphia Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Rochester Philharmonic, and the Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, National, New World, and Toronto symphonies.

In June of 2019, he will make his debut at the Mostly Modern Festival in Saratoga Springs, New York. Amado has been praised by the media, audiences, and fellow musicians for his deep musical insight and visceral energy. These qualities have allowed him to reinvigorate the Delaware Symphony, which has become a premier regional orchestra during his tenure. In 2010 the DSO released a critically acclaimed CD on the Telarc label, partnering with the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet in concertos by Joaquín Rodrigo and Sergio Assad; the recording debuted at number 11 on the Billboard charts and earned a Latin Grammy nomination. April of 2018 saw the release of a NAXOS recording featuring the DSO and Brasil Guitar Duo under Amado’s direction in concerti by Paulo Bellinati and Leo Brouwer. Amado began his musical training in piano, studying in The Juilliard School’s pre-college and college divisions before going on to Indiana University, where he received a master's degree in instrumental conducting. Returning to New York, he pursued further conducting studies at Juilliard with Otto-Werner Mueller. His first professional conducting post, an apprenticeship with the Oregon Symphony, was followed by a six-year tenure with the St. Louis Symphony, where he served as both a staff conductor at the orchestra and music director of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra.

Member Bio David Anderson is gaining a reputation as a talented and versatile conductor who has led remarkable growth in a wide variety of settings. He is currently Music Director of the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra (WI), the conductor of the Johnstown Symphony Youth Orchestra (PA), and serves on the music faculty at the University of Pittsburgh and Seton Hill Uniersity (PA). During Anderson’s ten-year tenure in Lake Geneva, the orchestra has experienced unprecedented growth artistically, in audience base, and in budget. He has expanded the educational offerings in terms of masterclasses, collaborations, competitions, school-day concerts, and mentorships so that each concert presents multiple ways of intersection with students. He has championed contemporary works, and has led the orchestra through their first-ever commission. Extremely active on the administrative side of the organization, he is an effective fundraiser and participates in a host of activities each year to build the relationships necessary to help provide a financially thriving organization. From 2007 to 2014, Anderson served as Philharmonia Conductor of the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra. During his tenure, he helped to guide the program into one of the premier regional youth orchestras in the country. In addition to leading the orchestra at an extraordinarily high artistic level, he was Chamber Music Institute Director from 2007 to 2012. During this time, membership more than quadrupled in size, expanded school-day concerts provided performance and recruiting opportunities, and a series of community concerts was initiated to help the EYSO bring chamber music to an even wider audience. During Anderson's tenure as Beloit College's Conductor-in-Residence (2011-2014), the orchestra steadily grew in terms of membership, artistic level, size of audience, and support within the greater college community. He oversaw an El-Sistema-inspired educational program, the Merrill Community Center Music Outreach, which enabled underserved children in the city of Beloit to receive musical instruction and mentorship from Beloit College students. A native of Clovis, New Mexico, Anderson received his initial musical instruction on piano. He attended Baylor University, where he earned two degrees in piano performance (BM, summa cum laude and MM, with distinction), and began orchestral conducting studies with Stephen Heyde. At the University of Illinois, Anderson earned an MM in orchestral conducting with Donald Schleicher; while there he served as ensemble manager for the University of Illinois orchestra program and as Assistant Conductor for the Quad City Symphony. He was awarded the Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship for the 2006-07 academic year, which funded travel throughout the country to study with master conducting teachers including Larry Rachleff, Gustav Meier, David Effron, and David Hoose. In 2006, Anderson was a finalist for the Conductors Guild’s Thelma A. Robinson Award.
