Geoffrey Paterson
The activities of conductor Geoffrey Paterson encompass orchestral music and opera and extend into contemporary music and jazz. His repertory ranges from Mozart to Gershwin to Harrison Birtwistle.
Paterson was born on July 14, 1983, in England's Yorkshire region. He attended the Judd School in Tonbridge, and there, he began taking conducting lessons at age 15. Soon, he started organizing concerts and continued to do so at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he also studied composition with Alexander Goehr. Paterson went on for a master's degree in conducting at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland). Paterson took master classes from Pierre Boulez at the Lucerne Festival Academy in Switzerland and trained as a repetiteur (singing coach and accompanist) at the National Opera Studio in London. He rounded out his training as a Jette Parker Young Artist at London's Royal Opera House, serving as an assistant to such major conductors as Antonio Pappano, Andris Nelsons, and Mark Elder. Paterson's career was helped along by a first prize and audience prize at the Leeds Conductors Competition in 2009. In 2013 and 2014, he served as assistant to conductor Kirill Petrenko at the Bayreuth Festival in Germany. Between 2008 and 2011, he served as assistant to conductor Mark Fitz-Gerald on albums in a Naxos series of film scores by major composers.
Paterson began his career mostly as an opera conductor but has since conducted major orchestras as well. His operatic credits include productions at the Glyndebourne Festival in England, the English National Opera, and the Dutch National Opera, among others. Paterson has conducted many British orchestras, including most of the major BBC ensembles, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and the Philharmonia Orchestra, as well as groups abroad, such as the Hamburg Symphony, the Stavanger Symphony in Norway, and the Nagoya Symphony in Japan. He has been especially noted for his work as a conductor of contemporary music, often leading such groups as the London Sinfonietta (including at the BBC Proms), the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, and the Bergen Philharmonic BIT20 ensemble. He has also collaborated extensively with jazz saxophonist Marius Neset. Paterson made his recording debut as a primary conductor on the Neu label in 2020, leading the London Sinfonietta on the album Guix: Images of Broken Light. He conducted the Amsterdam Sinfonietta on a 2022 live recording of Willem Jeths' opera Ritratto, returning in 2024 with the London Sinfonietta on the NMC label, leading a performance of Luke Bedford's orchestral song cycle In the Voices of the Living.
