Maestros in America: Conductors in the 21st Century provides short
biographical and critical essays of over 100 American
conductors-and conductors in America-in the twenty-first century.
Roderick L. Sharpe and Jeanne Koekkoek Stierman made their
selections based on three categories of persons: American-born;
naturalized US citizens; and foreign conductors holding a permanent
appointment in the US. In addition, all individuals included had to
have been active as conductors at the start of the new millennium.
These criteria allowed the authors to incorporate up-and-comers as
well as those more established, offering an extensive cross-section
of the upper echelons of the conducting profession focused on the
present, recent past, and future. Each entry is a biographical
essay containing essential facts of the conductor's life and work,
as well as assessment and commentary gleaned from articles,
interviews, reviews, and, in some cases, personal observation. The
entries conclude with the conductor's website, a list of further
reading, and selected recordings. These sketches of currently or
recently practicing conductors provide insight into the state of
orchestral music-making in the US as it is, has been, and may
become, highlighting the efforts these conductors made to ensure
its survival. Complete with two appendixes and an index, this
important reference will be beneficial to music students and
faculty, reference librarians, orchestral administrators, and music
lovers alike.
