Described as “expressive and passionate” [Malaysian Straits Times], and lauded by the Leipziger Volkszeitung as an “im-pressive conductor… who was elegantly demanding” with Mendelssohn’s Reformation Symphony, Jacomo Bairos enjoys a rising international career as conductor, champion of new music and dedicated educator. Recently concluding a two-year post as Associate Conductor for the Charlotte Sympho-ny Orchestra (CSO), Mr. Bairos regularly works with some of America’s finest orchestras and ensembles.

2012/13 season highlights include return engagements with the Symphony Orchestras of Atlanta and Charleston, as well as debuts with the Leipzig (Germany), North Carolina, Amarillo, and Tallahassee Symphony Orchestras. He will also continue his work as guest conductor with the CSO through the 2012/13 season, programming and conducting a variety of concerts to include sub-scriptions on the heralded Knight Sounds and Pops series.

Previous seasons include return engagements with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, the Orquesta Na-tional do Porto (ONP) and the Bangor Symphony Orchestra as well as debuts with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Malaysia Philharmonic and the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Bairos has worked with an array of distinguished artists such as Shlomo Mintz, Latin-Grammy winner, Nestor Torres, the crossover group ProjectTrio, and Cuban Band Tiempo Libre to name a few.

Met with critical acclaim from Fanfare Magazine, his debut recording in 2009 of Raw Emotions and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra featured late 20th century concertos by North American Composers. Firmly committed to the perfor-mance and commissioning of living American composers, he regularly conducts the music of Mason Bates, Adam Schoen-

berg, Christopher Theofanidis, Michale Torke, and Paul Dooley respectively. From 2005-2007 Mr. Bairos was the Artistic Di-rector for the Singapore Symphony’s Chamber Music Series where his adventurous programming garnered consistent au-dience praise and a doubling in attendance during his tenure.

A passionate educator, Mr. Bairos regularly visits lo-cal schools and has developed concerts for youth that have reached thousands of kids across the Carolinas. In his native homeland of Portugal he led concerts for some 2300 kids

with the ONP and was Music Director for the 2010 National Youth Orchestra Festival of Portugal. As former Director of Orchestras with the renowned Baltimore School for the Arts, he worked closely with the Baltimore Symphony’s “OrchKids”, cre-ating side-by-sides and education workshops for children in underserved urban communities.

Awarded the prestigious 2012 Mendels-sohn-Bartholdy Scholarship by Maestro Kurt Masur, he traveled to Leipzig Germany to share concerts with the LSO, assist at the Gewandhaus Orchestra and fur-ther his studies and mentorship with Mo. Masur.

Discovered by eminent teacher Gustav Meier, he was invited to attend the Peabody Conservatory where he also became conducting assistant to Leon Fleisher. Mr. Bairos primary con-ducting mentors are Gustav Meier, Robert Spano and Kurt Masur. He also has participated in mas-ter classes with Jorma Punula, Marin Alsop, Ed-ward Polochick, Hugh Wolff, and Larry Rachleff.

Mr. Bairos furthered his studies at the American Academy of Conducting at Aspen in 2012 and 2010, the 2011 Cabrillo Music Festival and with the 2012 Kurt Masur conductors seminar in New York where Mo. Masur invited him to perform together in concert. Mr. Bairos was also semi-finalist for both the 2010 Sir George Solti International Conductors Competition, and 2009 Eduardo Mata Conductors Competition.

As an accomplished and award winning tubist, Mr. Bairos has given master classes and performed with festi-vals and orchestras around the world. New York Magazine praised his solo performances in the Juilliard Focus Festival of 1998 as one of the “instrumental highs of the festival” and at age 18, he was the first tubist in the history of the Aspen Music Festival to win the festival wide concerto com-petition. He has performed, toured and recorded with the Symphony Orchestras of Chicago, Cincinnati, Seattle and with the New York Philharmonic. He has held principal posts with orchestras in America, Spain, China, and most recently was principal tuba for the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.

Born and raised in Lisbon to both American and Portuguese parents, he holds Portuguese (EU) and US citi-zenship and currently divides his time between Miami, FL, and Charlotte, NC.

JACOMO RAFAEL BAIROSCONDUCTOR

Currently Principal Timpanist of the Charlotte Symphony, Leonardo also served as Principal Timpanist of the Michi-gan Opera Theatre in Detroit for six seasons, where he was part of the world premieres of two American operas.

Begun his Bachelor degree at the University of Chile where he received the “Teatro Municipal of Santiago Na-tional Scholarship” for 4 years. At the same time he was trained as a Latin percussionist by his own father Mr. Leon-ardo Soto Sr., who is one Chile’s most prominent musicians in the field.

Mr. Soto begun his professional career as a substitute Percussionist with the Santiago Philharmonic Orchestra and the National Symphony of Chile, gaining experience in orchestral, opera and ballet repertoire.

In 1997 he received the “Funda-sion Andes International Scholarship”, after competing internationally against young musicians from Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela. This scholarship brought him to finish his education in the United States at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh PA, where he completed his Masters and Artist Diplo-ma with timpanist Timothy K. Adams Jr. from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orches-tra. After relocating to the United States, Mr. Soto has worked with ensembles such as the Pittsburgh Symphony Or-chestra (touring internationally), De-troit Symphony Orchestra, New World Symphony, Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Toledo Symphony, Canton Symphony, Charleston Symphony, and City Music Cleveland, among others. Also as a Lat-in percussionist, Mr. Soto has recorded and toured with a number of artist and bands from Pennsylvania, Southern Michigan and New York. In 2009, Mr. Soto was made an honorary student at Cleveland State University, by his most recent teacher, Mr. Tom Freer of The Cleveland Orchestra.

Leonardo often travels back to Chile to perform recitals, master classes and clinics at the National University and the Youth Sym-phony Organization, working with students from different countries of South America.

As an educator and instructor, Mr. Soto is a facul-ty member at Queens University of Charlotte as well as instructor for both the Charlotte Youth Symphony and

Junior Youth Symphony, and is also a part of the Charlotte Symphony’s educational program at Winterfield School, leading the bucket band.

During the summer, Mr. Soto travels to Steam-boat Springs, Colorado, to be part of the “Strings Music Festival”, conducted by former concertmaster of the Pitts-burgh Symphony Orchestra and violin professor at Carn-egie Mellon University, Mr. Andres Cardenes. In addition

to being timpanist of the orchestra, he also performs as multi-percussionist for the chamber music series.

Leonardo is endorsed by Pro-mark percussion mallets and Evans Drum heads and recently joined the board of advisors at WDAV, Charlotte’s classical music radio station.
