Biography

Performing with Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra as the third prize winner of the 2012 Sir Georg Solti International Conductors’ Competition, he was "... the stand-out audience favorite." (Norman Lebrecht, Slipped Disc).

2019-20 debuts include the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, WDR Funkhausorchester Köln, Cape Town Philharmonic, the Simon Bolivar
Symphony Orchestra, and the Bilkent Symphony Orchestra.

In April 2013, Brown gave a celebrated European debut with the Badische Staatskapelle, executing an "extremely demanding program which was mastered by the young conductor with flying colors. "(Klassik.com) This led to a debut with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra (RSB), to which he was promptly re-invited. Other orchestras include members of the Vienna Philharmonic, the Staatskapelle Weimar, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. In 2018 he makes his debut with the Nürnberger Symphoniker.

As an accomplished opera conductor, Brown has directed, among others, performances of The Merry Wives of Windsor, Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte and Puccini's Suor Angelica. He has also assisted on Britten's Albert Herring and studied Puccini's Il Trittico under Lorin Maazel.

Brown is a social justice advocate, and a passionate educator with a wealth of experience as a university professor and youth orchestra leader. His writing has been featured in the Berlin Tagesspiegel and on the Medium.

Flourishing liberation not heard in a very long time under guest Brandon Keith Brown

Local Orchestra really blumes with Brown and Beethoven

...this was the best interpretation of a Bruckner symphony since the time when Andrey Boreyko was the chief conductor of the orchestra(Jenaer Philharmonie). It was quite astonishing how flexible and secure all the musicians of the orchestra performed all led by Brandon Keith Brown.

Local Orchestra really blumes with Brown and Beethoven

Under the youthfully fresh and agile direction of Brandon Keith Brown the orchestra positively blossomed, above all in Ludwig van Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony. Brown, at the helm of the Philharmonie for the first time, is hailed as a rising star in the conducting firmament.

Flourishing liberation not heard in a very long time under guest Brandon Keith Brown

For quite some time the Neue Philharmonie Westfalen (NPW) has not sounded as liberated as this, played with such refreshing exuberance in a symphonic concert as it did under the baton of the young US guest conductor Brandon Keith Brown. [...] the titanic Beethoven [Symphony No. 8], brought down by Brown from his pedestal to eye level, to rapturous applause.
