E255: E255: Maestro Stephen Gunzenhauser - The symphony of a Life-Time
Maestro Stephen Gunzenhauser musical legacy includes 40 years as the conductor for the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra and being a guest conductor with over 100 orchestras all over the world. This incredible experience prompted him to write a book called: Travels with Stephen, The Most Famous Unknown Conductor, which is a memoir filled with anecdotes and stories about such as Ray Charles, Van Cliburn, Andre Watts, Itzhak Perlman and Martina MacBride to name a few.
He is also the creator of Endless Mountain Music Festival. The festival has a 62-piece orchestra made up of an internationally diverse group of musicians.
In Stephen's own words:
Having spent a career as a guest conductor with over 100 orchestras and served as a Music Director with two orchestras, I have collected a wide variety of experiences. These experiences have included teaching conducting to Senator Joe Biden, conducting the seventh inning stretch for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1973 for the national league Pennant and being interviewed on QVC and HSN. The memoirs are filled with musical as well as social stories about the travels that I have experienced. As the first American artist behind what was "the Iron Curtain" to travel around Pablo Escobars rancho, the memoirs are filled with annecdotes and stories about artists as well as locations. It has been a pleasure to commit to paper the stories with Ray Charles, Van Cliburn, me Ben E. King, Andre Watts, Itzhak Perlman and Martina MacBride.
