American conductor Kevin Fitzgerald is a formidable musical leader. In July 2023, he won the Special Prize for the Best Performance of the Contemporary Piece at The Mahler Competition. Kevin is the first conductor to win this award, sponsored by the Mahler Foundation, which led him to conduct the world premiere of Bernd Richard Deutsch's Con Moto with the Bamberger Symphoniker during the final concert of the competition. In 2021, he was a Tanglewood Music Center Conducting Fellow and, beginning in 2019, has been awarded Career Assistance Grants by the Solti Foundation U.S. for four consecutive years.
