Member Bio Hildegard Schön is one of the most outstanding conductors in the German-speaking world - known for her ability to open up musical spaces that touch, surprise and transform. She has been working with orchestras, choirs and ensembles at the highest level for over two decades, shaping ensembles into vibrant forms of expression. She has collaborated with musicians from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Hessian Radio Symphony Orchestra - always with the aim of achieving not only musical perfection but also authentic emotional depth. But Hildegard Schön goes far beyond classical concert formats. She is a visionary who constantly rethinks the concert experience: In the field of film music, she has developed innovative performance formats that interweave orchestral sound, visual elements and design to create immersive experiences. Her current project, the Immersive Symphony, continues this vision - a multi-sensory concert format that allows listeners not only to hear, but also to feel and experience. In contemporary music, she has shaped countless world premieres and first performances as a conductor, working closely with renowned composers. Her artistic signature is clear: breaking boundaries, making new things possible, allowing music to be experienced as a living organism. In addition to her work on the podium, she has been a lecturer and professor at renowned institutions such as the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich and the Cologne University of Music and Dance. She is particularly passionate about promoting and rediscovering female composers and rarely performed works, which she makes visible in her programs. As a mentor in the “Women in Culture and Media” program of the German Cultural Council, she also accompanies female artists on their individual paths. Her artistic work is based on a deep conviction: Music is transformation. It not only leads orchestras to their highest potential, but also the people in them - and beyond. This ability to open up spaces for growth and self-development also characterizes her work as a coach for creative leaders who want to break new ground and lead themselves and others with strength, intuition and clarity. With a repertoire ranging from traditional symphonic music to contemporary works and cinematic soundscapes, Hildegard Schön inspires audiences and musicians alike - always in search of the real moment that changes everything.

Mr. Allan R. Scott

Member Bio Currently in his eighteenth season as Music Director of the Helena Symphony Orchestra & Chorale, Allan R. Scott has been recognized by Symphony Magazine for his “large orchestra view,” noting that “under Scott’s leadership the quality of the orchestra’s playing has skyrocketed.” Dividing his time between residences in Helena and his native Philadelphia, Scott is also in his nineteenth season as Music Director of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Symphony and has served as the Principal Conductor of the Wilmington Ballet Company in Delaware for the past decade. Scott recently made his debut with Marble City Opera conducting Puccini’s Suor Angelica “with marvelous attention to Puccini romanticism and dramatic balance” (Arts Knoxville). Scott has also appeared with The Tanglewood Music Center, Royal Opera of Netherlands, Portland Opera, Fairfax Opera Company, Kent Opera, The Bucharest National Opera, The National Radio Orchestra of Romania in Bucharest, New Zealand’s Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, Firelands Symphony in Cleveland, Pottstown Symphony (PA), Orchestra Society of Philadelphia, and New Artists Philharmonic (CO). Scott has become closely associated with the works of Gustav Mahler. He has conducted all of Mahler’s symphonies, and has been the subject for two televised documentaries. New Zealand National Radio noted “A concert with Maestro Scott is as intoxicating as you could wish…and has an all-too-rare feeling of risk-taking spontaneity.” Having studied piano since the age of five and conducting since the age of fifteen, Scott developed his artistry under conductors Seiji Ozawa and Charles Dutoit. He further refined his craft with Luis Biava, Zdenék Macal, Sir David Willcocks, and Jorge Mester at institutions including the Tanglewood Music Center, California Conducting Institute, The Keene Music Festival, Ogontz Music Festival, and the Conducting Institute of South Carolina.
