"From the downbeat, one was immediately struck by Kuerti's natural, genuine musicianship that encouraged musicality as well as precision from his players." (Cincinnati Enquirer) The RCO is joined by violinist Luri Lee, a Rebanks Fellow of The Glenn Gould School.

Conductor Julian Kuerti has made a name for himself with his confident style, artistic integrity, and passion for musical collaboration. Recently appointed Principal Conductor of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Concepción in Chile, Kuerti has led numerous orchestras across North America, including the Boston, Houston, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Seattle, Montreal, and Toronto symphony orchestras; the Los Angeles Philharmonic; and the National Arts Centre Orchestra at the 2010 Vancouver Cultural Olympiad. He made his New York City Opera debut at Lincoln Center in 2011, and, in 2010, he completed his post as assistant conductor to James Levine at the Boston Symphony.
