What we also have to find is justice.                                ~Rigoberta Menchu Isaiah Jackson Tuesday, 13 March 2007 Isaiah Jackson is the newly appointed Music Director of Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston, and is now in his fifth season as Music Director of the Youngstown Symphony. As guest conductor, he has led many distinguished American orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Boston Pops. While still a student at the Juilliard School of Music, Jackson was engaged as Leopold Stokowski's assistant with the American Symphony Orchestra and named music director of the New York Youth Symphony. He later held posts with the Baltimore Symphony and the Rochester Philharmonic and, most recently, was music director of the Dayton Philharmonic for eight seasons. Currently he is Artist-in-Residence at the University of Dayton, where he teaches Philosophy of Music. Along with professors from English, History, and Philosophy, he recently led a five-week University of Dayton summer study program in Morocco. Highlights of 2000 and 2001 include return engagements with the Sydney Symphony and Prague Radio Symphony Orchestras. During the 1999-2000 season he made his debuts in Israel and in South Africa, where he became the first person of color to conduct the Cape Town Philharmonic. Jackson made his European orchestral debut with the Vienna Symphony in July 1973. During that summer he served, at Leonard Bernstein's suggestion, as artistic director of Vienna's Youth Music Festival. He became the first American to hold a major post at Covent Garden when he was appointed principal conductor and, later, music director of the Royal Ballet. In Europe, he has also conducted the Orchestre de la Suisse-Romande, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Helsinki Philharmonic at the Helsinki Festival, the Gaevleborg Symphony, and the R.A.I. Orchestra in Rome. He has appeared at the Spoleto Festival in Italy and during the 1994-1995 season made debuts with the Czech Symphonic Orchestra at the opening of the Prague Autumn International Music Festival, the Stockholm Symphonic Wind Orchestra and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. He has conducted before members of Britain's royal family on several occasions. A particular favorite in Australia, Isaiah Jackson was principal guest conductor of the Queensland Symphony in Brisbane for three years and has also led the orchestras of Sydney, Perth, Hobart, Adelaide, Victoria, Canberra, and Melbourne. Active in the world's recording studios, Isaiah Jackson has made three recordings with the Berlin Symphony: string music by the film composers Bernard Herrmann, Miklós Rózsa and Franz Waxman, and dance music by William Grant Still, both for Koch; and a live-performance CD of the orchestra's 1991 New Year's Eve concert, for European Sony. He has also recorded the harp concertos of Ginastera and William Mathias for Koch with the English Chamber Orchestra and Ann Hobson Pilot as soloist. His latest CD is devoted to music of Australian Nigel Butterley, recorded for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's ABC Classics label with the Melbourne Symphony. Jackson's most recent recording for Koch International Classics combines gospel music and the symphonic tradition. The CD features Jackson conducting The Louisville Orchestra and gospel choirs from throughout the Louisville area under the choral direction of Alvin Parris, III. The CD is an outgrowth of The Gospel Project, a bridge-building effort directed by Jackson and Parris; Gospel Project concerts have been performed in twelve U.S. cities to date, including Cleveland, Boston, Chicago, Denver, and Houston. Internationally The Gospel Project has appeared at the opening of the Brisbane Biennial Festival of music and in the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. Born in 1945, Jackson is a cum laude graduate of Harvard, where he majored in Russian history and literature. He holds graduate degrees from Stanford and the Juilliard School of Music, and he studied at Fontainebleau, Aspen, and Tanglewood. He has been Visiting Professor of Conducting at the Hochschule der Kuenste, Berlin's premier conservatory. He has also taught at Juilliard, Stanford, the University of Michigan, and Youngstown State University. Jackson's contributions to the music field have been recognized through many awards and honors, including the Signet Society Medal for Achievement in the Arts, awarded by Harvard University. Past recipients of the medal include T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost and Robert Lowell. Isaiah Jackson is married to Helen Tuntland Jackson, a consultant in the field of music education. The couple has three children, Benjamin, Katharine, and Caroline.
