Steven Sloane
The conductor Steven Sloane has built a career that is international and versatile to an unusual degree. Equally active in concert music and opera, he has championed contemporary music through his long association with the Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, South Carolina. Sloane was born in Los Angeles in 1958. As a teenager he became interested in conducting and enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles, to study music. He went on to take private conducting lessons with Philadelphia Orchestra conductor Eugene Ormandy, among others. In his twenties, Sloane worked for a time in Israel. He was named kapellmeister, one rank below the general music director, at the Frankfurt Opera in Germany in 1989, departing in 1994 to take a post as music director of Germany's Bochumer Symphoniker (Bochum Symphony Orchestra). He remained there through 2019 (planning a 2021 departure), building the orchestra's reputation in a competitive German scene and overseeing the construction of a new building for the orchestra, the Anneliese Brost Musikforum Ruhr, which has become a major venue in Germany's industrial Ruhr Valley. Meanwhile, Sloane took on other posts. He was music director of Britain's Opera North from 1999 to 2002, and served as principal conductor of the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra in Norway between 2007 and 2013. From 1996 to 2000, he served as music director at the Spoleto Festival USA, and he has continued to make return appearances there, including one leading a new production of Richard Strauss' Salome in 2019. Sloane was also music director of the American Composers Orchestra from 2002 to 2006. Placing emphasis on music education, Sloane has conducted youth orchestras in Germany and Israel. His list of operatic guest-conducting posts is long and includes appearances at such houses as the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Los Angeles Opera, and the Houston Grand Opera. His orchestral guest-conducting curriculum vitae is equally long, including appearances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic, and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, among many others. Sloane has made several recordings with the Bochum Symphony and other orchestras, including two on the Naxos label devoted to the Austrian orchestral composer Joseph Marx, who coined the term "atonality." Among all these other activities, Sloane has served since 2013 as a professor at the University of the Arts in Berlin and has founded an International Conducting Academy there. In 2019, a new chapter of his career opened as he was appointed music director of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.
