Scott Winters

Hello.  My name is Scott Winters.  I am a conductor, a concert producer, and a seasoned arts administrator living and working in Minneapolis, MN.  In my work I am interested in finding balance bewteen importance and relevancy,  message and content,  high art and entertainment.  I believe there is value at both ends of this spectrum, but I am constantly seeking the middle.  Whether its a serious symphony concert with a broader audience appeal or an indie rock event that aspires to find deeper meaning, I am most attracted to projects that tug on the edges of established genres in a search of a common ground that is both thoughtful and engaging.




9-11 Memorial Music Director

In September, 2011 I was honored to serve as Music Director of Minnesotans Standing Together, the state's official 9-11 memorial held on the State Capitol Mall.  For this event I booked and managed talent including rapper Brother Ali, soul singer Sheila Raye Charles, folk artist Larry Long, and others.  I also conducted an orchestra of players from the Minnesota Orchestra, SPCO, Minnesota Sinfonia and Minnesota Opera Orchestra.  Manny Laureano (trumpet) and Marni Hougham (English horn) were soloists for a performance of Copland's "Quiet City".  Other works included Barber's "Adagio for Strings" and the slow movement of Tchaikovsky's "Serenade for Strings."   Here are some photos from the event.
