Bedford Chamber Concerts 2008

Anthony Newman, Music Director

At the forefront of Baroque music in the United States for more than 35 years, Anthony Newman is best known as an organist and a harpsichordist, and especially for his interpretations of the works of Bach. As keyboard artist, he has performed throughout the world—more than 70 solo appearances at Lincoln Center alone—and collaborated with many great artists, including Kathleen Battle, Itzhak Perlman, Jean-Pierre Rampal, James Levine, Lorin Mazel, John Nelson, and Leonard Bernstein. Ranked with the top Baroque and Classical specialist conductors, Mr. Newman has guest-conducted many of the world’s preeminent chamber orchestras. A prolific composer, Mr. Newman’s works have been heard in New York, Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Krakow, Warsaw, Singapore, and London.

Born in Los Angeles, Dr. Newman studied in Paris with Alfred Cortot and Pierre Cochereau, organist of Notre Dame Cathedral. In 1969, he became the youngest full-time faculty member at the Juilliard School and later headed up the graduate music program at Purchase College, State University of New York. Mr. Newman is Music Director of BachWorks, New York City’s only all-Bach organization, and of the Bedford Chamber Concerts. He is Music Director and organist at
St. Matthew’s Church, Bedford.
