MUSIC DIRECTOR DAN ALLCOTT


Now in his seventh season as Music Director of the Bryan Symphony Orchestra, Dan Allcott has developed a year of programming for the 2009-10 concert series that brings three international musicians to Cookeville, as well as the Asheville Lyric Opera for “The Marriage of Figaro.”


Associate Professor and Director of Orchestras, Maestro Allcott joined the Tennessee Tech University faculty in 2003. Before coming to Tech he was Music Director and Principal Conductor of Atlanta Ballet from 2000 to 2006, in which time he conducted more than 250 performances. In addition to traditional ballet scores, he led musical collaborations with the Indigo Girls, the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Choir, the Red Clay Ramblers, the Michael O'Neal Singers and the Atlanta Youth Choirs. Before joining the Atlanta Ballet, he served as Associate Conductor and Director of Education for the Columbus (IN) Philharmonic and music director of the Columbus Youth Orchestra. He has been a guest conductor with numerous orchestras including the Dallas Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, and Omaha Area Youth Orchestras.


Allcott studied conducting with Imre Pallo and Thomas Baldner at Indiana University, and in 1996, was appointed the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's Schmitt Conducting Fellow, a position he held for three years. In 1998, Mr. Allcott was named the first Herbert von Karajan Fellow of the American Austrian Foundation at the Salzburg Festival and has been a participant in the Nicolai Malko and Grzegorz Fitelberg competitions in Europe. He has conducted in master classes with Michael Tilson Thomas and Gunther Schuller with the American Symphony Orchestra League and the Conductors' Guild.


He received a Master of Music in Cello Performance from Indiana University where he continued his Doctoral Studies in both the Conducting and Cello programs. For three years Allcott was associate instructor of conducting at Indiana University, frequently conducting the university's five orchestras and the New Music Ensemble.
