Mark Powell
Music Director
American Radio Chamber Orchestra
Celebrated as a "musician’s conductor" by JoAnn Falletta, an exceptionally vivid and incisive collaborator by The Plain Dealer’s Donald Rosenberg, and hailed for his "complete mastery" by pianist Lorin Hollander, Mark Powell’s performances of American music, the traditional repertory, as well as the music of today have earned audience enthusiasm, critical praise, and the admiration of his colleagues including Peter Eötvös, Ton Koopman, Michael Tilson Thomas, and Jorma Panula.
