The RPO says that Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik’s contract has been renewed for another three seasons, through the 2018-19 season. That will take him through his 25th season with the orchestra.
Tyzik says that the RPO is on an “artistic upswing” and he looks forward to collaborating with Ward Stare and Michael Butterman, conductors with the orchestra, as they work to keep the RPO a “strong and essential artistic pillar of the Rochester community.”
Tyzik, a Grammy Award winner, also serves as principal pops conductor for several other orchestras.
He has written more than 200 arrangements, orchestrations and compositions for the RPO. Next May, he will premiere a new violin concerto written for RPO.
