JoAnn Falletta
Brevard Music Center


JoAnn Falletta is the Principal Guest Conductor of the Brevard Music Center where she has conducted at least two programs each season since her appointment in 2011.
 
She is delighted with the excellence of the program and the students, and greatly enjoys spending parts of the summer in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, a setting that she finds to be a great inspiration for teaching and enjoying music.
 
JoAnn has mentored young musicians and conductors through programs at the League of American Orchestras and has guest conducted many of the top conservatory orchestras including Curtis, Juilliard, The Orchestra Now and Mannes, and at Interlochen, Round Top and the Aspen Festival.
 
Upon her appointment, Keith Lockhart, BMC Artistic Director and Principal Conductor said “JoAnn Falletta is a major American musician. She is also a superb mentor to our students and a great friend to the Music Center.”
 
Situated on a wooded 180-acre campus in the North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, the Brevard Music Center presents more than 80 concerts to the public each summer with a total audience reach of more than 30,000. Founded in 1936, the Music Center has matured into one of this country's premier summer training programs and festivals. More than 400 gifted students, ages 14 through post-college, come to the Music Center to study with members of a distinguished artist faculty and with renowned guest artists. For seven weeks, students participate in a vigorous program of instruction that includes ensembles, private lessons, and chamber music.
