Gleeson and The Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra toured the United States visiting 49 cities in 24 states. They also toured China, performing at the Shanghai Grand Theatre's World Expo Program, and presenting two concerts for the opening of the Beijing Festival summer season at the National Centre for the Performing Arts. These concerts were televised throughout China to over 400 million people. Subsequently, Gleeson returned to China for a Gala TV broadcast performance at The Great Hall of the People with The National Ballet Symphony Orchestra of China, before returning for a second tour with the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra, and a more recent tour with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. Gleeson is a prolific composer of film scores and is Founder and CEO of the Film Scoring Academy of Europe, and the new European Academy of Fine Arts, Sofia.

  • Missing a Beat
    Missing a Beat Bridging Ireland's Orchestral Gaps A Review of Orchestral Provision in Ireland Review of Orchestral Provision in Ireland 1 Introductory note from The Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon This note introduces the Report 'Missing a Beat: bridging Ireland's orchestral gaps', from the perspective of the Arts Council. In response to feedback gathered during a major consultation process (2005), in the resulting document, Partnership for the Arts, the Arts Council undertook to “examine national orchestral needs and develop appropriate responses”1. This led to commissioning a review of orchestral provision in late 2007. Much of the primary research was undertaken during 2008 and 2009. The resulting report 'Missing a Beat, Bridging Ireland's Orchestral Gaps' written by Fergus Sheil, was finalised in November 2010. A postscript to the original report was written by the author in May 2012, in order to reflect developments since the original report was completed. This postscript is now appended to the original document. The report offers an overview and analysis of issues affecting orchestral provision in Ireland. It draws upon a wide range of examples of international practice to illustrate what it regards as 'gaps' and to highlight the potential that may exist for development within Ireland. Beyond its usefulness as an important reference document, the report has the potential to stimulate both further dialogue and practical cooperation amongst a broad range of stakeholders within the music sector. In this regard, the report itself notes and anticipates the need for the music sector to develop new models of practice. Embracing such an approach may prove to be essential in terms of ensuring the longer term development and sustainability of orchestral music provision in Ireland.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, (a U.S./Irish dual citizen), Derek Gleeson studied piano, percussion, composition and conducting at the music conservatories of Dublin, London and Vienna, and film scoring at the University of California, Los Angeles. By the age of 11, Gleeson was the recipient of many piano and percussion competition prizes within Ireland and Great Britain. At the age of 15 he was selected to represent Ireland as an orchestral musician in the European Community Youth Orchestra, where he had the opportunity to perform at the great European music festivals, such as Salzburg, Edinburgh and Lucerne Festivals under Maestros Herbert von Karajan, Claudio Abbado, Leonard Bernstein and Sir George Solti. These early experiences moved him specifically toward a career in conducting. In 1984 he was a prize winner in the Shell/London Symphony Orchestra music scholarship program. As a freelance musician, Gleeson performed with most of the British orchestras, including The London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Orchestras, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, as well as European jazz and pop ensembles (e.g., EuroJazz, NYJO, and Clannad) before directing his time exclusively to conducting and composition in 1989.
