John Mauceri’s distinguished and extraordinary career has brought him not only to the world’s greatest opera companies and symphony orchestras, but also to the musical stages of Broadway and Hollywood, as well as the most prestigious halls of academia. Regarded as the world’s leading performer of the music of Hollywood’s émigré composers as well as composers outlawed by the Third Reich, he has taken the lead in the restoration and performance of many kinds of music and is an internationally published author, with over 70 CDs to his name. Maestro Mauceri has championed forgotten composers and underrepresented works for more than fifty years and was given the prestigious Ditson Award on the stage of Carnegie Hall by Columbia University for “a career spanning five decades [to] become one of the world’s leading authorities of … film scores and Broadway musicals.” Mr. Mauceri has been entrusted with editing and restoring works controlled by the families and estates of Richard Rodgers, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and Leonard Bernstein. A graduate of Yale, he served on the university’s faculty for fifteen years, occasionally returning as a guest lecturer. He is the former music director of four opera companies and three symphony orchestras. For eighteen years, he worked with Leonard Bernstein as both an editor and trusted colleague, conducting many of the composer’s premieres at Mr. Bernstein’s request. Mr. Mauceri is the recipient of a Tony, Olivier, Grammy, Drama Desk, Edison, Billboard, Cannes Classique, two Diapassons d’Or, three Emmys, and four Deutsche Schallplatten Awards. He has lectured at Harvard, Columbia, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the American Academy in Berlin, Vienna’s Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst, the Royal College of Music (London), the Museum of Modern Art (New York) and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and has been published in the New York Times, the Times of London, the Wall Street Journal, Gramophone Magazine, Opera Magazine, and various musicological journals. He is the author of Maestros and Their Music, For the Love of Music, and the recently published The War on Music. johnmauceri.com Twitter: @Maucerij1
