Derrick INOUYE
Conductor
Derrick Inouye has an impressive international background combining a wealth of experience on the orchestral podium with an array of achievements in the opera world. Since his debut with the Metropolitan Opera in 2003 conducting the new production of Berlioz's "Benvenuto Cellini", he has been back to conduct six performances of "Tosca" in the '04 -'05 season, two performances of the new production of Donizetti's "Don Pasquale" in the '05 -'06 season, and four performances of "La Traviata" for the "Met in the Parks" in the '06 -'07 season.
Also in the '06 -'07 season Mr. Inouye will be conducting Mozart's "Magic Flute" with the Vancouver Opera and "The Marriage of Figaro" with the Hiroshima Symphony (marking his fifth appearance with Hiroshima and his second with Vancouver Opera). His third appearance with the Kyoto Symphony in November continues his guest appearances in Japan which include several engagements with the New Japan Philharmonic, the Osaka Philharmonic, the Osaka Century Orchestra, the Sendai Philharmonic, and the Saito Kinen Festival.
In addition to assisting Maestro James Levine at the Met, Mr. Inouye was engaged by him to help with the Verbier Festival Orchestra in '05 and '06, and to accompany him on a world tour sponsored by Disney with the Philharmonia orchestra of London (with whom he made his Los Angeles debut on New Years Eve of 1999). From 2001 to 2003 Mr. Inouye was engaged as first Kapellmeister with the Nuremberg Opera, premiering productions of "Rigoletto", "Werther" and Philip Glass' "Fall of the House of Usher", and conducting revivals of "Salome", "Fidelio", "Carmen", and "La Boheme". He has also appeared with the Stuttgart Opera, the English National Opera, the Hungarian State Opera, and the Bucharest Opera. Guest conducting with European orchestras has included the Leipzig Radio orchestra, the Monte Carlo Philharmonic, the Finnish Radio orchestra and the National Symphony of Ireland, among others.
In the U.S. and Canada Mr. Inouye has appeared several times with the Florida Philharmonic, the Honolulu Symphony, the Orchestra of St. Luke's (at Carnegie Hall), the Toronto Symphony, the National Arts Centre orchestra, and the Vancouver Symphony, among others. He has been a frequent guest conductor with the New York City Opera, music director of the Regina Symphony in Canada, and principal guest conductor of the Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock in Germany.
The release on Vox Records of Mr. Inouye conducting the Beethoven and Brahms violin concerti with Aaron Rosand and the Monte Carlo Philharmonic was reviewed by Fanfare magazine as "among the very best; the Beethoven , honesty compels me to affirm, is the very best… It's one for the ages."
Derrick Inouye won first prize in the prestigious Vittorio Gui conducting competition in Florence in 1985, following three summers working closely with the internationally celebrated maestro Franco Ferrara at the Academia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy. In 1982 he was a Fellowship conductor at Tanglewood under Seiji Ozawa, Erich Leinsdorf and others. Canadian born, he completed early conducting studies at the Toho Gakuen Music School in Japan with Seiji Ozawa, Kazuyoshi Akiyama and Tadaaki Otaka.
