The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has had a vacant Assistant Conductor position since 2009. It’s a job where many young conductors make a name for themselves.
After several rounds of auditions, the ASO has selected Joseph Young – a truly “young” man of only 31.
Maestro Young was born in Charleston and graduated from the University of South Carolina in 2004 and the Peabody Conservatory in 2009.
He’s also a trumpet player, music educator and former resident conductor of the Phoenix Symphony.
