Member Bio Conductor David Hattner delivers “calmly authoritative” (The New York Times) performances that are “brilliant in all departments.” (The Chicago Tribune) Hattner’s high musical intelligence and phenomenal technique uniquely combine with a warm and cooperative disposition, allowing for an ease of execution which imbues confidence and expands possibilities. Although he is energetic and animated, an inner calm and polish characterizes Hattner’s presence on the podium. This clarity creates space for Hattner and his performers to revel in the joy of music-making, leading to concert experiences that are truly magical. Hattner is the Musical Director of the highly acclaimed Portland Youth Philharmonic (Oregon), the nation’s oldest youth orchestra. The fifth music director in its distinguished 93-year history, he is the first to be born in the United States. Known for his encyclopedic knowledge of American repertoire having directed more than 75 orchestral works by over 45 American composers, Hattner’s programming is relevant, thoughtful, and “especially attractive.” (The Chicago Tribune) Hattner’s recent seasons included his conducting debuts with the Phoenix Symphony, Olympia Symphony, Baton Rouge Symphony, and Chamber Music Northwest as well as appearances with the Oregon Symphony and the Musicians of the Fort Worth Symphony.

(The recording of this performance remains available in the New Sounds online archive following its radio broadcast on WNYC.) Of the performances, soprano Susan Narucki wrote, “Mr. Hattner synchronized the musical performance with the screening of the film effortlessly and led the musical forces in passionate, vital performances, which were received with enormous enthusiasm by the large audiences. He also possesses a rare quality - the ability to create an atmosphere that enables the performers to do their very best: to take risks and to make music that moves people.” Additional multimedia conducting experience includes leading performances in Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland and Sao Paulo, Brazil of Jason Staczek’s score to Guy Maddin’s silent film Brand Upon the Brain, and four performances of Theresa Koon’s opera Promise.
