What we also have to find is justice.                                ~Rigoberta Menchu Michael Morgan Thursday, 08 March 2007 Currently in his seventeenth year as Music Director of Oakland East Bay Symphony, Michael Morgan was born in Washington, DC, where he attended public schools and began conducting at the age of 12. While a student at Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, he spent a summer at the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood. There he was a student of Gunther Schuller and Seiji Ozawa, and it was at that time that he first worked with Leonard Bernstein. In 1980, he won first prize in the Hans Swarovsky International Conductors Competition in Vienna, Austria and became Assistant Conductor of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, under Leonard Slatkin. His operatic debut was in 1982 at the Vienna State Opera in Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio. In 1986, Sir Georg Solti chose him to become the Assistant Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, a position he held for five years under both Solti and Daniel Barenboim. During his tenure in Chicago he was also conductor of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago (training orchestra of the Chicago Symphony) and the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra. In 1986 he was invited by Leonard Bernstein to make his debut with the New York Philharmonic. In addition to his duties with Oakland East Bay Symphony, Maestro Morgan (who has always preferred long term commitments to guest conducting) serves as Artistic Director of Oakland Youth Orchestra, Music Director of Sacramento Philharmonic, Artistic Director of Festival Opera in Walnut Creek, and teaches the graduate conducting course at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. In 2002 and 2003 he taught conducting at the Tanglewood Music Center and has led conducting workshops around the country. He makes frequent appearances as guest conductor with orchestras throughout the United States and this year makes his first appearances in South America and Opera San Jose as well as returning to Europe. As a Stage Director he has led productions of the Bernstein Mass at the Oakland East Bay Symphony and a modern staging of Mozart's Don Giovanni at Festival Opera. As a chamber musician (piano) he has appeared on the Chamber Music Alive series in Sacramento as well as the occasional appearance in the Bay Area. He was honored as one of the ten most influential African Americans in the Bay Area in 2000 at CityFlight Newsmagazine's second annual Awards Gala. In 2005, he received two national awards by major music associations. He was honored by the San Francisco Chapter of The Recording Academy with the 2005 Governors Award for Community Service. On the opposite coast, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) chose Morgan as one of its five 2005 Concert Music Award recipients. ASCAP further honored Oakland East Bay Symphony in 2006 with its Award for Adventurous Programming. This year the San Francisco Foundation honored him with one of its Community Leadership Awards. He makes about 100 appearances in the nation's schools each year, particularly in the East Bay, and is highly regarded as a champion of arts education and minority access to the arts. He serves on the Board of the American Symphony Orchestra League as well as the International House at the University of California at Berkeley. He makes his home in Oakland with his mother and sister.
