Geoffrey Paterson (born 14 July 1983) is a British conductor.

Early Career

Born in Kent, United Kingdom, Geoffrey Paterson began conducting at the age of 15, while a pupil at The Judd School in Tonbridge.[1] He soon began organising concerts, both near his family home in Kent and later as an undergraduate at St John's College, Cambridge. [2] He studied for a masters degree at the RSAMD before pursuing a career as repetiteur and assistant conductor with the National Opera Studio.[3] At the age of 25 he won both First Prize and the Audience Prize at the Ninth Leeds Conductors Competition.[4][5]

Conducting

He was a Jette Parker Young Artist at the Royal Opera House, where he assisted Antonio Papano, Mark Elder, Andris Nelsons and Daniele Gatti, and has frequently returned to Covent Garden to conduct.[6] In 2013 and 2014 he was a musical assistant to Kirill Petrenko at the Bayreuth Festival, and his operatic conducting has included appearances at Glyndebourne[7] and the Royal Danish Opera.[8]

He has conducted the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Philharmonia[9], London Sinfonietta, Danish National Symphony Orchestra and BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

In addition to his work at Bayreuth, he has appeared at other festivals including the Holland Festival, Aldeburgh Festival[10] and Bregenz Festival[11].

He is a noted exponent of contemporary music, working frequently with the London Sinfonietta[12] and Birmingham Contemporary Music Group[13] and recording for NMC.[14]
