Jonathan Taylor Rush

conductor

Jonathan Taylor Rush brings passion, unique interpretation and a refreshing energy to the orchestral experience. Rooted in his musical upbringing within the church, Rush’s approach to conducting is imbued with elements of gospel and soul music. He debuted with the Minnesota Orchestra in May 2023, leading world premiere performances of brea(d)th by Carlos Simon and Marc Bamuthi Joseph—a recording of which has been released on Decca Classics. He was subsequently engaged for the Orchestra’s 2024 and 2025 Juneteenth concerts. Rush’s 2024-25 season also included a debut with San Francisco Symphony and performances with Baltimore, Atlanta, North Carolina and Hartford Symphonies, among other ensembles. Further highlights in 2025 include a subscription week with Nashville Symphony and his European debut with the Danish Philharmonic. In 2020 he was named the Baltimore Symphony’s assistant conductor, later being promoted to associate conductor for a tenure that concluded in 2023. Concurrently he served as artistic director of the Baltimore Symphony Youth Orchestras, which he led on a European tour.
