John Baltimore (born 1978 in Washington, D.C.) is an American conductor. ==Career== In 1996, Baltimore entered college at the Peabody Conservatory of Music at Johns Hopkins University where he studied percussion with Jonathan Haas and audited the graduate conducting course with Markand Thakkar. In 1999, Baltimore transferred to the Mannes College of Music where he completed an undergraduate diploma in music performance with major concentrations in both conducting and percussion. Baltimore's private teachers have included Elizabeth Schulze, Robert Gutter, Gustav Maier, and David Gilbert. He has been coached by such notable conductors as Victor Yampolsky and National Symphony Orchestra Music Director Leonard Slatkin. Baltimore's conducting style is based in organic teachings and to that end he has studied pilates, yoga, and other organic body movement techniques with Boston University Professor Emeritus Joseph Gifford. He has guest conducted orchestras all over the globe, including the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, Oltenia Philharmonic in Romania, St. Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra in Russia, and the Cairo Symphony Orchestra in Egypt. In July 2006, Baltimore recorded his first album with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London. The album entitled ''American Classics'' was released on February 1, 2007 and features ''An American in Paris'' by George Gershwin, ''Billy the Kid: Symphonic Suite'' by Aaron Copland, and ''Westside Story: Symphonic Dances'' by Leonard Bernstein.〔https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/american-classics/id285318468〕 One of Baltimore's greatest priorities is the exposure of music to the world's youth and as a result he has founded the not-for-profit corporation Chloe's Playhouse Productions. Inspired by and named after his daughter Chloe, Chloe's Playhouse Productions produces young people's concerts and instrument petting zoo experiences for many school aged children annually. John Baltimore resides in Washington, DC with his daughter Chloe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Baltimore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
