His national and international tours have earned overwhelmingly positive reviews. On the most recent tour of Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Italy, Germany, France and Turkey, critics lauded Nelson’s innovative programming and the choir’s “rich and colorful” choral tone. Internationally renowned composer Morten Lauridsen praised Nelson and the Wartburg Choir’s performance of “O Magnum Mysterium” stating: “It was in the top echelon of any performance of that piece by any choir that I have ever heard.” A highly sought-after conductor, clinician and adjudicator, Nelson has directed all state and honor choirs throughout the United States and Canada, including Colorado, New York, Alaska, Mississippi, Nevada, Indiana, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Iowa, Nebraska, and Manitoba, Canada.In March of 2014, Nelson conducted the Wartburg Choir at the North Central American Choral Director’s Association conference. In December 2011, Nelson and the Wartburg Choir were invited to perform at the White House Holiday Concert Series. While in Washington, D.C., the choir also performed at the Washington National Cathedral for a worldwide simulcast of the Bethlehem Prayer Service. Nelson was a featured conductor at the 2012 North Central ACDA conference, where he conducted Stephen Paulus’ Holocaust oratorio To Be Certain of the Dawn with more than 360 musicians from six states. A champion of contemporary music, Nelson regularly commissions and performs new works of choral literature. He has helped to launch careers of promising young composers and promotes music by established composers in his choral series. ECS Publishing distributes the Lee Nelson Choral Series internationally. Prior to his appointment at Wartburg College, Nelson served on the faculty at St. Cloud State University, where he received the SCSU Professional Achievement Award in 2008.

Mr. Hattner was selected from a pool of 112 candidates  by a search committee comprised of board members, alumni, community representatives, musicians, and teachers. He received positive reviews from both audiences and critics alike after his debut with PYP in November 2008. “The Portland Youth Philharmonic roared like a Maserati on Saturday in its first concert under music director David Hattner. The route was challenging, the execution distinguished and the ride delightful,” wrote David Stabler for The Oregonian. “David is ideal for PYP. He creates the musical and social environment in which young musicians can and want to do their best,” said Murry Sidlin, former Resident Conductor of the Oregon Symphony, who worked with Mr. Hattner at the Aspen Music Festival and the Cascade Festival of Music. “He is a brilliant clarinetist, has very high artistic vision, and invites young musicians to join him at that level. He worked ferociously to become the excellent conductor he is. Nobody handed him anything. He worked for it and succeeded. PYP is tremendously fortunate to have persuaded David to join them.” David Hattner’s conducting credits include the Eugene Symphony Orchestra, Oklahoma Chamber Ensemble, the Garden State Philharmonic Orchestra, Camerata Atlantica, and multi-media work with silent film in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and Sao Paulo, Brazil. “David Hattner conducted a calmly authoritative performance…” wrote Anthony Tommasini in the New York Times, reviewing a performance of Richard Einhorn’s Voices of Light. He has also guest conducted the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, Ensemble Sospeso, International Contemporary Ensemble, Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra, and the Massapequa Philharmonic Orchestra. Mr. Hattner received a Bachelor of Music degree with honors from Northwestern University, where he was a clarinet student of Robert Marcellus. He has participated in the American Academy of Conducting at Aspen three times, where he studied with David Zinman and Murry Sidlin.
