He has challenged how people conceive the role and value of classical music, staging multimedia productions that highlight societal themes like immigration, the environment, and homelessness. Oregon Symphony musicians now assist public school teachers to develop arts curricula and collaborate with engineers to develop musical applications for computer chip technologies.
Before moving to Portland, Showalter worked as Vice President of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Associate Vice President of the University of Chicago, and Associate Dean of Stanford Law School. A classically trained pianist, Showalter holds an undergraduate degree from Stanford University and an MBA from the University of California, Los Angeles.

ABOUT THE MUSIC DIRECTOR: David Danzmayr became Music Director of the Oregon Symphony in the 21/22 season, taking over for now-Music Director Laureate Carlos Kalmar. In his first season as Music Director, Danzmayr has established himself as a capable and visionary leader, earning the respect of the musicians and patrons of the Oregon Symphony. He designed the current season to explore the ways a composer’s history, ethnicities, and experiences influence their work. He has worked with other artists and thought leaders to establish the Creative Alliance, a diverse consortium of musical innovators who inspire and challenge audiences with music that speaks to individual experiences and explores meaningful issues.
Danzmayr is widely regarded as one of the most talented and exciting conductors of his generation. He received his musical training at the University Mozarteum in Salzburg where, after initially studying piano, he went on to study conducting in the class of Dennis Russell Davies. He was strongly influenced by Pierre Boulez and Claudio Abbado in his time as conducting stipendiate of the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra and by Leif Segerstam during his additional studies in the conducting class of the Sibelius Academy.
Danzmayr has won prizes at some of the world’s most prestigious conducting competitions and has quickly become a sought after guest conductor for orchestras around the globe. In recent years Danzmayr has demonstrated his prowess as an interpreter of a wide array of repertoire. Danzmayr stands at the helm of the versatile and innovative ProMusica Chamber Orchestra in Columbus and has previously served as Chief Conductor of the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra, Music Director of the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra of Chicago, and as the Assistant Conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Glasgow.
