Peter Tiboris
General Director and Artistic Director
Peter Tiboris, has pursued a career of remarkable diversity, both as an orchestra
conductor and as the creator of innovative musical initiatives.
Mr. Tiboris made his New York conducting debut in January of 1984 with the American Symphony
Orchestra at Lincoln Center and his European debut in June of 1985 in Dubrovnik. He has led
nearly **250** concert performances, not only in New York (in Carnegie Hall, with the American
Symphony Orchestra or with his own Manhattan Philharmonic), but in such cities as Washington,
Montréal (Société Philharmonique), Mexico City (Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico), London (Royal
Philharmonic, Philharmonia), Rome (Rome Philharmonic), Palermo (Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana di
Palermo), Hannover (Niedersächsische Orchester),Prague (Virtuosi di Praga), Warsaw (Warsaw
Philharmonic), Sofia (Sofia Opera Orchestra), Istanbul (Millî Reasürans Chamber Orchestra) , St.
Petersburg (Glinka Capelle Philharmonic), and Moscow (Radio and Television Orchestra of Moscow)
as well as throughout the Czech Republic, Poland (Silesian Philharmonic in Katowice, Poznan
Philharmonic), Portugal (Orquesta Classica da Madeira, Orquestra Camara de Cascais e Oeiras),
Italy (Vincenzo Bellini Symphony Orchestra of Catania, Orchestra Sinfonica della Magna Grecia in
Taranto, Orchestra Sinfonica Citta di Grossetto, Firenze Opera Orchestra) and in Vienna. Critics
all along the way have hailed his performances. The New York Times has
described them as "sizzling and precise", and "Vigorous...alert and energetic".
Mr. Tiboris's repertoire consists to date of well over 150 orchestral, choral and operatic
works. Among these are ones for which he gave their world premieres (by Constantinides and
Magarshak), their USA premieres (by Taneyev, Tchaikovsky, and Theodorakis), and their New York
premieres (by Beethoven, Bruckner, Dello Joio, Dohnányi, Effinger, Glass, Mascagni, Rossini,
Schnittke, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, and Verdi). He has been one of the few conductors to explore
Mahler's "retouchings" of Beethoven Symphonies. He has striking success in presenting concert
performances in Carnegie Hall of such rare operas as Mascagni's Silvano, Rossini's
Ermione, and Theodorakis's Elektra. For such treatments of Cherubini's Medée and
Taneyev's Agamemnon, the drama was enhanced by interspersing the musical score with
segments spoken by distinguished acting casts (including Olympia Dukakis and Louis Zorich). And
in all such ventures, exciting young singers from here and abroad were introduced to New York
audiences.
Extending his concert work, Mr. Tiboris has preserved many of his interpretations in
recordings--some twelve of them, on the Bridge, Albany, and Elysium labels (including four
Symphonies and two Overtures by Beethoven, two Mozart Symphonies, and one by Schubert, all
incorporating the Mahler Retuschen).
In addition to his wide podium activities, however, Mr. Tiboris has become one of today's
important musical entrepreneurs. In 1984 he founded MidAmerica Productions. This has developed
into New York's largest independent company for concert production. Through its work, thousands
of musicians--professional and amateur; singers, choirs, ensembles, and directors--have been
enabled to perform on the finest of New York's stages, including Avery Fisher Hall, Carnegie
Hall, and the latter's Weill Hall.
Under the MidAmerica umbrella, Mr. Tiboris has developed further undertakings, such as the
Elysium recording label (issuing performances both his own and by others), the Manhattan
Philharmonic Orchestra, the Elysium Chamber Ensemble, and Just Tenors, Inc., a management
company for singers.
As a second-generation Greek-American, Mr. Tiboris particularly cherishes his work with Greek
musicians, whom he has brought here to perform and with whom he works abroad. In 1998 he
launched a music festival, first on the island of Mykonos, then renamed the Festival of the
Aegean. In 2000 he created Opera Aegean, initially based in Athens as a training and touring
company. Since then, Opera Aegean has offered a summer festival on the island of Syros,
presenting operatic, theatrical, and concert events. In 2005, the festival presented Rossini's
Il Barbieri di Siviglia and in the summer of 2006, Mozart's Giovanni. There were
four concerts in 2006 and eleven are planned for 2007 including Mascagni's operas
Zanetto and an opera gala, Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 and No. 5, Dvorák's cello
concerto, and Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C Major.
Mr. Tiboris received a bachelor's and master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
and a doctorate from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.
