Internationally recognised for his energetic presence, imaginative programming, and compelling musicianship, Vinay Parameswaran is one of the most exciting young conductors on the podium today.
Highlights of his 22-23 season included his debuts with the Houston and Charlotte Symphonies, return appearances with the Nashville Symphony and Rochester Philharmonic orchestras, and education and family concerts with the Chicago Symphony and New Jersey Symphony. In the 2021/22 season, Parameswaran concluded five seasons with the Cleveland Orchestra, where he was initially Assistant and then Associate Conductor.
During his three seasons as Associate Conductor of the Nashville Symphony, Parameswaran led over 150 performances, which included his subscription debut with the Orchestra in 2016/17. Other highlights have included debuts with the Pittsburgh Symphony, Detroit Symphony, National Symphony, North Carolina Symphony, and Milwaukee Symphony orchestras.
Equally at home in both symphonic and operatic repertoire, Parameswaran has led performances of Mozart’s The Magic Flute and Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love with Curtis Opera Theater. In Cleveland, he has assisted Franz Welser-Möst on productions of Verdi’s Otello, Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen, Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde and Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos.
A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Parameswaran graduated with honours from Brown University where he began his conducting studies with Paul Phillips. He continued his studies at the Curtis Institute of Music, where he was the Albert M. Greenfield Fellow, later a Conducting Fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center, and a recipient of a Career Assistance Award by the Solti Foundation U.S. in May 2021.
