<strong>Peter</strong> <strong>Tiboris</strong>, CEO, General Director and Artistic Director of MidAmerica Productions,<br />
has pursued a career of remarkable diversity, both as an orchestra conductor and as<br />
the creator of innovative musical organizations.<br />
Mr. <strong>Tiboris</strong> made his New York conducting debut in January of 1984 with the American<br />
Symphony Orchestra at Lincoln Center and his European debut in June of 1985 in<br />
Dubrovnik. He has led some 250 concert performances, not only in New York (in<br />
Carnegie Hall, with the American Symphony Orchestra or with his own Manhattan<br />
Philharmonic), but in such cities as Washington, Montréal (Société Philharmonique),<br />
Mexico City (Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico), London (Royal Philharmonic, Philharmonia),<br />
Rome (Rome Philharmonic and Rome Opera House Orchestra), Palermo (Orchestra<br />
Sinfonica Siciliana di Palermo), Hannover (Niedersächsische Orchester), Prague<br />
(Virtuosi di Praga), Warsaw (Warsaw Philharmonic), Sofia (Sofia Opera Orchestra),<br />
Istanbul (Millî Reasürans Chamber Orchestra), St. <strong>Peter</strong>sburg (Glinka Capelle Philharmonic),<br />
and Moscow (Radio and Television Orchestra of Moscow) as well as throughout<br />
the Czech Republic, Poland (Silesian Philharmonic in Katowice, Poznan Philharmonic),<br />
Portugal (Orquesta Classica da Madeira, Orquestra Cåmara de Cascais e<br />
Oeiras), Italy (Vincenzo Bellini Symphony Orchestra of Catania, Orchestra Sinfonica<br />
della Magna Grecia in Taranto, Orchestra Sinfonica Citta di Grossetto, Firenze Opera<br />
Orchestra) and in Vienna. Critics all along the way have hailed his performances.<br />
Those in The New York Times have described them as "sizzling and precise," and<br />
"Vigorous...alert and energetic."<br />
Mr. <strong>Tiboris</strong>'s repertoire consists to date of well over 150 orchestral, choral and operatic<br />
works. Among these are ones for which he gave their world premieres (by Constantinides<br />
and Magarshak), their USA premieres (by Taneyev, Tchaikovsky, and Theodorakis),<br />
and their New York premieres (by Beethoven, Bruckner, Dello Joio, Dohnányi,<br />
Effinger, Glass, Mascagni, Rossini, Schnittke, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, and<br />
Verdi). He has been one of the few conductors to explore Mahler's "retouchings" of<br />

Beethoven Symphonies. He has<br />
striking success in presenting<br />
concert performances in Carnegie<br />
Hall of such rare operas as<br />
Mascagni's Silvano, Rossini's<br />
Ermione, and Theodorakis's Elektra.<br />
For such treatments of Cherubini's<br />
Medée and Taneyev's Agamemnon,<br />
the drama was enhanced by<br />
interspersing the musical score<br />
with segments spoken by<br />
distinguished acting casts<br />
(including Olympia Dukakis and<br />
Louis Zorich). And in all such<br />
ventures, exciting young singers from here and abroad were introduced to New York<br />
audiences.<br />
Extending his concert work, Mr. <strong>Tiboris</strong> has preserved many of his interpretations in<br />
recordings--some twelve of them, on the Bridge, Albany, and Elysium labels (including<br />
four Symphonies and two Overtures by Beethoven, two Mozart Symphonies, and<br />
one by Schubert, all incorporating the Mahler Retuschen).<br />
In addition to his wide podium activities, however, Mr. <strong>Tiboris</strong> has become one of today's<br />
important musical entrepreneurs. In 1984 he founded MidAmerica Productions.<br />
This has developed into New York's largest independent company for concert<br />
production. Through its work, thousands of musicians--professional and amateur;<br />
singers, choirs, ensembles, and directors--have been enabled to perform on the finest<br />
of New York's stages, including Avery Fisher Hall, Carnegie Hall, and the latter's<br />
Weill Hall.<br />
Under the MidAmerica umbrella, Mr. <strong>Tiboris</strong> has developed further undertakings,<br />
such as the Elysium recording label (issuing performances both his own and by o-<br />
thers), the Manhattan Philharmonic Orchestra, the Elysium Chamber Ensemble, and<br />
Just Tenors, Inc., a management company for singers.<br />
As a second-generation Greek-American, Mr. <strong>Tiboris</strong> particularly cherishes his work<br />
with Greek musicians, whom he has brought here to perform and with whom he<br />
works abroad. In 1998 he launched a music festival, first on the island of Mykonos,<br />
then renamed the Festival of the Aegean. In 2000 he created Opera Aegean, initially<br />
based in Athens as a training and touring company. Since then, Opera Aegean has<br />
offered a summer festival on the island of Syros, presenting operatic, theatrical, and<br />
concert events. In 2005, the festival presented Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia and in<br />

the summer of 2006, Mozart’s Don<br />
Giovanni. There were four concerts<br />
in 2006 and eleven in 2007,<br />
including Mascagni’s opera Zanetto<br />
and appearances by Taximi, Stratos<br />
Vougas Jazz Quartet, and Human<br />
Touch featuring David Lynch.<br />
Award for Production of the Year.<br />
Maestro <strong>Tiboris</strong> was recently<br />
honored by the Italian dance<br />
magazine Danza e Danza. Teatro<br />
dell'Opera di Roma's production of<br />
Peer Gynt, conducted by Mr.<br />
<strong>Tiboris</strong>, received the 2007 Gli<br />
Mr. <strong>Tiboris</strong> received a bachelor's and master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison,<br />
and a doctorate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.<br />

Cherubini: Overture to Lodoiska and Médéa (selections)<br />
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64<br />
Oxford Philomusica,<br />
Sheldonian Theater<br />
“Before the arias, the Oxford Philomusica played two Cherubini overtures, Lodoïska and the overture to Médée itself.<br />
Both lull you into a sense of false security, with a leisurely start before the music whips into a frenzy. Guest conductor<br />
<strong>Peter</strong> <strong>Tiboris</strong> drummed up lots of dramatic expression and emotion from Cherubini’s scores...<br />
“The second half of the concert was a completely different kettle of fish in every way. Conductor <strong>Tiboris</strong>, now working<br />
without a score in front of him, seemed liberated by Tchaikovsky’s relaxed and optimistic fifth symphony. While the<br />
symphony opens with a haunting, mournful clarinet melody (beautifully played by Lorraine Schulman and Julian Farrell),<br />
much of the music is in warm, major-key mode. <strong>Tiboris</strong> drew an open, transparent sound from the Philomusica (not always<br />
an easy thing to do in the Sheldonian), and expertly judged the underlying march tempi, so that woodwind solo<br />
passages had time to breathe.<br />
“The fifth is not without Tchaikovsky’s trademark periods of desire and passion, and these, too, were well marked, as<br />
were the blazing brass highlights – the orchestra’s brass section was in particularly exuberant form. Throughout,<br />
ensemble was tight and controlled. “Bravo!” shouted Philomusica music director Marios Papadopoulos, sitting near me<br />
in the audience, at the end of the performance. Quite right too.”<br />

“TIBORIS’ MUSIC HELD THE PUBLIC AT CURCI SPELLBOUND"<br />
Over the past few days, at the Curci Theater of Barletta an extraordinary concert took place. The show was organized by<br />
the Friends of the Music "M.Giuliani," together with the Rotary Club Andrea Castelli Svevi e Trani, and the Club of Inner<br />
W. of Tranie il Rotaract.<br />
“The Symphony Orchestra of the Province of Bari led by the masterly skills of the great Greek-American music director<br />
<strong>Peter</strong> <strong>Tiboris</strong>, started the concert with the Ouverture of "Fidelio" and immediately caught the attention of a public that in<br />
Barletta is getting always more competent yet demanding.<br />
“The penetrating and expressing rhythmic force that <strong>Tiboris</strong> gave to the execution clearly produced the intent of the great<br />
composer of Bonn, and utilized to the fullest the all the sections of the Barese's orchestra….<br />
The performance, thanks to the excellent accompaniment of <strong>Tiboris</strong>, came out charged with meaning yet quite contagious."<br />

"From the beginning, the work that <strong>Tiboris</strong> had done to obtain the best results was clear. His vision of the oratorio (intended<br />
as a creation pervaded by a passionate emotion, a warm humanity, and free from inner excesses) was completely<br />
realized, with an involving ardor, that was enlivened again with a sincere guiding of the soloists, chorus, and orchestra.<br />

The perfect balance of the artists in playing their role was clearly worthy of the director, who was able to sculpt the phrasing<br />
and melodic lines for a passionate and involoving expressivity, absolutely worthy of the sublime dramatic tension<br />
that animates the score."<br />
