Anthony Parnther
Conductor

American conductor Anthony Parnther, who made his Philadelphia Orchestra debut in 2023, is in his sixth season as music director of California’s San Bernardino Symphony. As conductor of the Gateways Festival Orchestra, whose members hail from leading orchestras nationwide, he led its sold-out Carnegie Hall debut. A master of multiple genres, he has conducted many of the world’s preeminent artists, from Joshua Bell, Jessye Norman, and Lynn Harrell to Imagine Dragons, Wu-Tang Clan, John Legend, Metro Boomin, and Rihanna. His recent conducting engagements include the New York and Los Angeles philharmonics; the Chicago, San Francisco, National, Atlanta, Houston, St. Louis, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Vancouver, and Sydney symphonies; the Cleveland and Royal Scottish National orchestras; Los Angeles Opera; and the Chineke! Orchestra.

Dedicated to amplifying traditionally underrepresented voices, Mr. Parnther has reconstructed and performed orchestral works by Margaret Bonds, Duke Ellington, Zenobia Powell Perry, Florence Price, William Grant Still, and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. He led LA Opera’s world premiere of Tamar-kali Brown’s oratorio We Hold These Truths and Long Beach Opera’s revival of Anthony Davis’s The Central Park Five. For his extensive championing of works by Black, Latino, and women composers, he was profiled as a “Local Hero” by Los Angeles’s KCET TV.

As one of today’s foremost film conductors, Mr. Parnther helms recording sessions for many of the world’s top international feature films and television series. He has led the scoring sessions for projects including the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer, GRAMMY-winning Encanto, and Emmy-winning The Mandalorian, as well as Avatar: The Way of Water,  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Diaries of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Ice Age: Adventures of Buck Wild, Creed III, PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, and League of Legends.
