Paul Goodwin is one of Britain’s most versatile conductors, equally at home with Monteverdi or Mark Anthony Turnage. He divides his time between opera productions and concert performances, working with early instruments and modern orchestras. His flair for creative and dynamic programming is appreciated the world over.

This season he works with an ever widening variety of orchestras in music ranging from Corelli, Bach and Handel via Mozart, Haydn, Brahms, Dvorak and Mendelssohn to Bartok, Villa Lobos, Takemitsu, Tüür, and Chen Yi.

In America Paul will be back with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Minnesota and a program of new and old music, while in December he will be in Carmel to announce his second season as Musical Director and Principal Conductor of the Carmel Bach Festival. As with 2011, the next festival will be full of variety and surprises and so much more than just the music of JS Bach.

Paul will be visiting Germany many time in the coming season, conducting the Nürenberg Phil, Beethoven Orchester Bonn, Badische Staatstheater Orchestra, Heidenheim Symphony and he returns once more to the MDR Symphony Orchestra in Leipzig with Bach, Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Villa-Lobos.

Elsewhere he will be with the Montecarlo Philharmonic, the Graz Symphony Orchestra in Austria and even in England, conducting the Messiah with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in December.

At present he is conducting Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte in Oviedo, Spain having had great success with his staged Matthew Passion at the National Theater in London.
