The Delaware Symphony Orchestra thrives under the direction of one of the
country's most talented young conductors.

Philadelphia native David Amado has been praised by the media, audiences and
fellow musicians for his deep insight, visceral energy and imaginative
programming. These qualities have allowed him to reinvigorate the Delaware
Symphony, turning it into a premier regional orchestra as demonstrated by
the January 2010 release of a CD with the DSO, Maestro Amado and the Los
Angeles Guitar Quartet, a project which was nominated for a 2010 Latin
GRAMMY Award.

 

Descended from a long line of fine musicians, David Amado continues his
family's tradition. He showed a predilection for music at a very early age,
but it was not until high school that he became dedicated to a musical
career, while training in the Pre-College Division of Juilliard.  David
continued his college years at Juilliard, studying piano while
simultaneously exploring other facets of music, including the world of the
orchestra. He received his Master's in Instrumental Conducting at Indiana
University. After graduating he returned to study again at Juilliard, but as
a conductor, with Otto-Werner Mueller.  David's first job was an
apprenticeship with the Oregon Symphony, followed by a six-year tenure with
the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. In November 2008, Maestro Amado
conducted the Virginia Symphony. Other recent highlights of his career
include engagements with the Philadelphia Orchestra, The Chicago Symphony,
the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the National Symphony, the Royal Stockholm
Philharmonic, the Houston Symphony, the New World Symphony and the Detroit
Symphony.

 

Maestro Amado lives in Wilmington with his wife, violinist Meredith Amado,
and their three children, and is a prominent leader of the Delaware arts
community.
