Malibu Coast Youth Symphony Music Director and Conductor,
Scott Hosfeld


    
     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. His work has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.


     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.
