Daniel Boico, conductor |
b i o g r a p h y...........back to roster....up June 2012 Described by critics as “dynamic, vigorous, exciting and imaginative - an undisputed star who combines magnetic charisma with a skilled technique,” fast-rising conductor Daniel Boico has quickly made a mark on the music scene. His innate musical sensitivity paired with a keen ear and deep musicianship have produced exciting performances with orchestras here and abroad. As assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic from 2009 until earlier this year, Boico has led all the orchestra’s popular Young People’s Concerts and assisted music director Alan Gilbert. His debut with the New York Philharmonic took place in 2009, sharing the podium with Riccardo Muti, and was followed by his subscription debut in April 2011, when he replaced Kurt Masur on short notice in what The New York Times called “a smoldering performance” of Sofia Gubaidulina’s Two Paths: A Dedication to Mary and Martha for two violas and orchestra. Upcoming engagements bring the conductor back to the National Symphony of Costa Rica and the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra in Durban, South Africa. He also returns to the Beethoven Festival in Chicago. Season 2011/12 featured concerts with the National Symphonies of Mexico and Costa Rica, debuts with the Florida Orchestra and Nürnberger Symphoniker and a collaboration with the San Francisco Ballet. Boico has conducted numerous major orchestras overseas, including the Moscow Philharmonic and State Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic, Berlin Radio Symphony, Taipei Symphony, Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional of Mexico and the Royal Philharmonic of London. He has toured Holland and Belgium with the Maastricht Symphony and concertized across Italy and France with the Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino and Shlomo Mintz as soloist. In the US, he has graced the podium of the Huntsville Symphony and Fort Wayne Philharmonic among other orchestras. He has forged close collaborations with such soloists as Daniel Barenboim, Itzhak Perlman, Gil Shaham, Shlomo Mintz, Nikolay Luganski and Eric Owens. In August 2000, he directed I Virtuosi Italiani in the highly praised world-premiere recording of Nino Rota’s two cello concertos with Dmitry Yablonsky on Chandos. Born in Israel to musical parents and raised in Paris and the United States, Boico was a student and assistant of professor Ilya Musin at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. A prize winner of the Prokofiev and Pedrotti conducting competitions, he was chosen as an apprentice conductor with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra where he also assisted then-music director Daniel Barenboim, as well as Pierre Boulez and Zubin Mehta. Early in his career he was music director of the Skokie Valley Symphony in Illinois. Daniel Boico currently resides in New York with his wife Anastasia and daughter Naomi.
