Eve Queler, Conductor
Eve Queler possesses the rare gift of extracting the very essence of a score, creating an atmosphere for performers and audiences which is festive, powerful and electric. She is internationally renowned not only for her ground breaking work as music director of American’s leading opera-in-concert organization, Opera Orchestra of New York (OONY), where she has conducted over 90 operas on the stage of Carnegie Hall to regular sold out houses, but also for her extensive work as a guest conductor of symphonic and opera repertoire in venues that span the international musical world.
On the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of Opera Orchestra of New York:
“Special congratulations to Eve Queler whose professionalism and enthusiasm are an incredible example for the whole musical world.”
—Dimitri Hvorostovsky
