Mark Allen McCoy is currently the Music Director/Conductor of the Loudoun
Symphony Orchestra in Northern Virginia and Music Director/Conductor of the
Heights Chamber Orchestra in Cleveland Ohio. Composer/Conductor David Amram
stated Mark McCoy is doing what so many talk about but aren't able to
actually accomplish. He has created an ensemble, that is as thrilling and
rewarding for outsiders to hear as it is for the members of the community
which his excellent orchestra serves." Having been lauded by the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram as " . . . conducting with the broad, sweeping gestures
typical of the old Central European tradition . . ." this dynamic American
conductor has enjoyed success on a national and international scale. Known
for his exciting and innovative programming, McCoy is a dedicated advocate
for the arts, making classical music accessible to entire communities.
Concertgoers have deemed him ". . . impressive, emotive, and energetic" in
repertoire ranging from pops to ballet. His family/educational concerts
have been praised as both entertaining and thought-provoking, inspiring a
whole new generation of concertgoers.
