Martin Majkut, the second of the five candidates competing for the position of musical director and conductor of the Greenwich Symphony Orchestra, discusses his approach to conducting and the music he loves. The format is a conversation with former symphony board member Steve Boies. The discussion is of special interest as Maestro Majkut just completed a series of videos during the pandemic titled, “What Goes through the Conductor’s Head.” 

Born in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia), Majkut earned his Ph.D. in conducting at the Academy of Performing Arts while serving as Assistant Conductor of the Slovak Philharmonic. Majkut came to the U.S. as a Fulbright scholar in 2003 and earned a D.M.A. in 2008 from the University of Arizona. He also studied with Gianluigi Gelmetti at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy and Salvador Mas Conde at the Wiener Meisterkurse in Vienna, Austria.

Majkut has been serving as Music Director of the Rogue Valley Symphony in Ashland, Oregon since 2010. The RVS has experienced a remarkable growth under his leadership and received national recognition for its ambitious programming. Majkut is also the Music Director of the Queens Symphony Orchestra in New York, a position he has held since 2017.
