NA’ZIR MCFADDEN

American conductor Na’Zir McFadden is the Assistant Conductor and Phillip & Lauren Fisher Community Ambassador of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, working closely with Music Director Jader Bignamini. McFadden also serves as Music Director of the Detroit Symphony Youth Orchestra. In both 2023 and 2024, McFadden conducted the DSO’s annual Classical Roots concerts. Establishing his presence on the classical music scene, McFadden’s 2023–2024 season includes a debut with the Ann Arbor Symphony and a return to the Philadelphia Ballet. He will also serve as a guest cover conductor for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Other conducting highlights include debuts with the Utah Symphony Orchestra, the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, and the Philadelphia Ballet.

Additionally, McFadden led a recording project with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago featuring Hilary Hahn as co-collaborator and soloist. This past summer, McFadden participated in the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Conducting Seminar as part of the Tanglewood Institute under the guidance of Andris Nelsons and Stefan Asbury. In 2020, McFadden was named the inaugural Apprentice Conductor of the Philadelphia Ballet; a position he held until 2022. He also served as the Robert L. Poster Conducting Apprentice of the New York Youth Symphony from 2020 to 2021. At the age of 16, he conducted his hometown orchestra—The Philadelphia Orchestra—in their “Pop-Up” series, meeting their Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who has since served as a mentor.

An advocate for arts education, McFadden currently serves as a board member of Generation Music, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization that provides classical music education to underrepresented youth in local school districts.

MICHAEL BOUDEWYNS

Michael Boudewyns is thrilled to return to the DSO for a third season after making his debut with the orchestra in 2016.

In 2004, Boudewyns co-founded ReallyInventiveStuff.com; a production company that creates delightful concert performances for young audiences and families with orchestras internationally (England, Singapore), in Canada, and around the United States. In the 2022–2023 season, Really Inventive Stuff returned to The Philadelphia Orchestra, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Annapolis Symphony Orchestra, Salisbury Symphony Orchestra, Southeast Iowa Symphony Orchestra, Princeton Symphony Orchestra, and Symphony in C. Along with orchestra performances, Boudewyns is the host of a new YouTube series celebrating noteworthy people and their remarkable achievements: Taphotopia. Boudewyns lives in Maine and has two cats named Pippy and Prudence.

Need a sensory break from the action? The DSO has a quiet room available for patrons to use on the third floor of the William Davidson Atrium. We also offer sensory toolkits (available at the Box Office) to use free of charge, courtesy of the Mid-Michigan Autism Association.
