I’m delighted to welcome the dynamic Canadian conductor Tania Miller to the Madison Symphony Orchestra. Joining her will be the Grammy Award-winning cellist Zuill Bailey making his MSO debut performing the exquisite Elgar Cello Concerto. Tania will bring her unique interpretive gifts to Tchaikovsky’s fifth symphony, regarded by many as his best.  – John DeMain

About Zuill Bailey

Zuill Bailey, widely considered one of the premiere cellists in the world, has been featured with symphony orchestras worldwide, including Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit, Indianapolis, Dallas, Louisville, Honolulu, Milwaukee, Nashville, Toronto, Colorado, Minnesota, Utah, Israel, Cape Town, and the Bruchner Orchestra in Linz, Austria. Mr. Bailey has appeared at Disney Hall, the Kennedy Center, the United Nations, Alice Tully Hall, the 92nd St. Y and Carnegie Hall, where he made his concerto debut performing the U.S. premiere of Miklos Theodorakis’ “Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra.” In 2017 Mr. Bailey won a best solo performance Grammy Award for his Live Recording of “Tales of Hemingway,” by composer Michael Daugherty. His celebrated “Bach Cello Suites” and recently released Britten Cello Symphony/Sonata CD with pianist Natasha Paremski, immediately soared to the Number One spot on the Classical Billboard Charts.

“It was tempting to compare this regional orchestra [the Madison Symphony Orchestra] even with a major international ensemble…the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra.”  – The New York Times

“When we are conducting, the power of the sound is found in our hands, and it’s projecting through us, back to the audience, back to the orchestra.”  – Tania Miller
