“Mann was masterful… a skilled musical architect, designing and executing a beautifully paced interpretation, which seemed to spring from somewhere deep within the music rather than superimposed upon it.”

Philip Mann
Hailed by the BBC as a “talent to watch out for, who conveys a mature command of his forces,” American conductor Philip Mann is quickly gaining a worldwide reputation as an “expressively graceful yet passionate” artist with a range spanning opera, symphonic repertoire, new music, and experimental collaborations.
The winner of the Karajan Fellowship at the Salzburg Festival, he has worked with orchestras and operas worldwide, including L’Orchestre Symphonique de Québec, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Georgian State Opera, and the National Symphony of Cyprus.
His Canadian debut with the OSQ was described by Le Soleil as a “Tour de Force.” Mann has worked with leading artists such as Joshua Bell, Sharon Isbin, Dmitri Alexeev, Marvin Hamlisch and given world premiers of major composers including John Corigliano, while major premiers of other composers like Jennifer Higdon, Michael Torke, Lucas Richman have cemented his commitment to living composers.
He maintains a lively schedule as a guest conductor having conducted at New York’s Avery Fischer Hall and London’s Barbican Center.
