Malibu Coast Youth Symphony Music Director and Conductor
Acclaimed conductor and music director of the Malibu Coast Chamber Orchestra (MCCO), Scott Hosfeld
is a favorite among his professional colleagues and students. Maestro
Hosfeld has been principal conductor of the Icicle Creek Chamber
Orchestra, the Kairos Festival Orchestra, the Dorian Festival
Orchestra, the Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival Orchestras, the Icicle
Symphony Orchestra, the Central Washington University Chamber Orchestra
and the Eastern Sierra Symphony Chamber Orchestra. Hosfeld has led
concerti for premiere soloists Nathaniel Rosen, Camilla Wicks, Andrew
Shulman, Delores Stevens, Steven Doane, Darol Anger, David Perry, Peter
Longworth, Maria Newman, Hal Ott and Mike Marshall.
As
an entrepreneur, Maestro Hosfeld was the founding executive and
artistic director of the Icicle Creek Music Center (ICMC) in
Leavenworth, Washington. Hosfeld's vision enabled ICMC to grow from an
annual summer festival into a year round chamber music center, complete
with 15 buildings (including a gorgeous concert hall) on a 9-acre
campus. Hosfeld's decade-long tenure at ICMC made possible that
organization's still flourishing curriculum of intense chamber music
and orchestral programs for elite professional and highly qualified
student musicians in a unique alpine setting.
In
great demand as an educator, Hosfeld has served as
Faculty/Artist-in-Residence for the University of Arizona, Eastern
Mennonite University, James Madison University, Louisiana State
University, Central Washington University and California State
University at Long Beach, and continues to direct his popular
conducting and chamber music clinics across the continent. Further
dedicated to the education of highly qualified pre-college musicians in
inspirational environs, Scott Hosfeld founded two exceptionally
successful and now long-standing youth orchestras in the 1980's, one in
the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and the other in Washington's Cascade
Mountains.
