About David Hattner, conductor
A talented clarinetist, David Hattner regularly performs in live radio broadcast on All Classical Portland, and has served as principal clarinet with the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, Cascade Music Festival Orchestra in Bend, New Jersey Opera Theater, and Key West Symphony Orchestra. Hattner is an honors graduate of Northwestern University, and was a Conducting Fellow at the American Academy of Conducting at Aspen for three summers.
Conductor David Hattner delivers "calmly authoritative" (The New York Times) performances that are "brilliant in all departments." (The Chicago Tribune) Hattner's high musical intelligence and phenomenal technique uniquely combine with a warm and cooperative disposition, allowing for an ease of execution which imbues confidence and expands possibilities. Although he is energetic and animated, an inner calm and polish characterizes Hattner's presence on the podium, leading to concert experiences that are truly magical.
Hattner is the Portland Youth Philharmonic’s fifth Musical Director in its distinguished 96-year history, and the first to be born in the United States. Known for his encyclopedic knowledge of American repertoire, Hattner's programming is relevant, thoughtful, and "especially attractive." (The Chicago Tribune) Hattner’s recent seasons included his conducting debuts with the Phoenix Symphony, Olympia Symphony, Baton Rouge Symphony, and Chamber Music Northwest as well as appearances with the Oregon Symphony and the Musicians of the Fort Worth Symphony. Additional guest appearances include the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, Interlochen Philharmonic, Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra, International Contemporary Ensemble, Eugene Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble Sospeso, Kansas City Symphony, Oregon Mozart Players, and Massapequa Philharmonic Orchestra, among others.
