William Intriligator

Member Bio William Intriligator strongly believes in the power of symphonic music to transform lives, to unite communities, and to heal the world. Intriligator currently serves as Music Director and Conductor of two orchestras, the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra (DSO) in Iowa and the Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra in Wyoming. As a guest conductor, Maestro Intriligator has led performances with many distinguished orchestras across the USA, including those of Honolulu, Houston, Minnesota, Richmond, Saint Paul, Savannah, Syracuse, and Tulsa. In 2017, he made his European conducting debut in Italy with the Bari Symphony Orchestra. After the success of that concert, the orchestra immediately invited him to return to Bari and conduct two more concerts. Recent projects with the DSO include staged opera, musical, and ballet productions; concerts with world-renowned violinist Midori, as part of the Midori Residency Program; and the orchestra's first commercial recording, with Grammy winning cellist Zuill Bailey, of works of composer Michael Gilbertson. Other special programs with the DSO have included composer festivals; concerts in the warehouses of the Millwork District; concerts with local rock and country musicians; special partnerships with area schools; and accompanying musical prodigy Ethan Bortnick in a concert that became a popular PBS television special, “The Power of Music,” which has aired over 1,500 times nationwide. Maestro Intriligator was named "First Citizen" of Dubuque (Person of the Year/Lifetime Achievement) by the Telegraph Herald in 2025 for his commitment to and achievements in the Dubuque community. In 2014, the orchestra and Intriligator received the Dubuque365 Impact Award in Music, and in 2013 Intriligator won the Dubuque County Fine Arts Society’s Elisha Darlin Award. In Cheyenne, Intriligator has initiated new concert ideas reaching more audiences through presentations such as films with live orchestra, Symphony Underground with regional bands, Symphony at Sunset, ballet productions, family matinees, multi-media productions, collaborations with local and regional choruses, a season-long exploration of women composers, a multi-year Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss exploration, and unique productions with stage director—and Cheyenne-native—Sarah Hartmann: Music of the Spheres and Star-Crossed Lovers, the latter combined concert, opera, ballet, and theater in a staged retelling of Romeo and Juliet. He has performed oboe concertos with the orchestra in its Baroque in the Barn series. Intriligator believes that one of the most important roles of a regional orchestra is to promote local, native composers and performers. In Dubuque and Cheyenne, his orchestras have commissioned and premiered over 30 new works by such composers, as well as featured many local and regional performers as soloists. Originally from Santa Monica, California, Intriligator earned many accolades as an oboist before turning to conducting. He graduated with highest honors in music from Princeton University, received the university's first Certificate in Conducting and won the Sacks Memorial Prize for outstanding musical performance. He then studied conducting in France with Charles Bruck and in Germany and Austria with Michael Gielen and was Gielen’s Assistant Conductor of the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra. He was a conducting fellow at the Aspen Music Festival for two summers and attended the Pierre Monteux School four summers. He earned masters and doctoral degrees in orchestral conducting at the University of Minnesota studying with Murry Sidlin, Mark Russell Smith, and Keith Clarke. During his years in Minnesota, he was on the conducting staff of the Minnesota Orchestra and the Minnesota Opera. He also enjoyed a special relationship with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, leading that orchestra for five seasons in educational concerts, family concerts, regional tours, and concerts of new music. Highlights of his 2025-2026 season in Dubuque include the commission and world premiere of Michael Gilbertson's Cello Concerto with the orchestra and cellist Zuill Bailey, recording a complete album of Gilbertsons music, launching a new chamber music series with DSO musicians, and performances of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. In Cheyenne, Intriligator's entire 2025-2026 Masterpiece subscription series is devoted to works by American composers in anticipation of the country's 250th anniversary. The orchestra will record an entire album of new Composer-in-Residence Jeff Lippencott’s music, including actor Gary Sinise narrating Lippencott's American Patriot Hymn and Myra Montfort Artist-in-Residence cellist Zuill Bailey performing and premiering Lippencott’s Pasturelands Cello Concerto. A concert performance of the musical 1776 and a performance on July 4, 2026 at the Wyoming State Capitol will cap the season and the orchestra's celebration of America.

Rosetta Isnardi

Member Bio Rosetta Isnardi is a lifelong musician, who believes wholly in the power of musical curiosity and expression. She began her musical career by slapping at the piano’s keys cantankerously as a baby, and started lessons as a kindergartener in an effort to play more sonorously. Eventually she decided to devote her life to music, so she got a BS in Keyboard Performance (piano and harpsichord) from Adelphi University in Garden City, NY, and an MM in Piano Pedagogy and Performance from Westminster Choir College of Rider University in Princeton, NJ. Her penchant for playing the piano has landed her on concert hall stages, ballet studios, recording studios, and in bars and rock stages (as a keyboardist with the band Survival Society.. Her incredibly supportive family endured years of squeaking as 4th grade Rosetta began her studies of the violin, and watched the growth of a young musician with an unquenchable thirst for classical music. In fact, in one of her happiest childhood memories, Rosetta recalls laying sprawled on the carpet, blasting Tchaikovsky 6 on the boombox in her bedroom, and playing Zelda games on her muted Game Boy Color. She wishes to bring that kind of joy to everyone. Rosetta has taught in a variety of settings, and has decided the private studio is where her passion and talents lie. She lets her students’ tastes and curiosity determine exactly the ways she will teach them. She brings diversity to The Music Space with teaching piano, violin, voice, and music theory.
