Andrew Balio
Wisconsin native
Andrew Balio was
appointed principal
trumpet of the
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in 2001
by Yuri Temirkanov. In the 2014-2015
season, he served as principal trumpet
of the Oslo Philharmonic concurrently
with his BSO duties. Prior to his arrival
in Baltimore, Mr. Balio was principal
trumpet of the Israel Philharmonic
under Zubin Mehta since 1994 and the
Orquesta Sinfónica del Estado de Mexico
since 1990.
As a soloist, Mr. Balio has appeared
in Europe, South America, Japan and
the U.S. under such conductors as Hanu
Lintu, Nicholas McGeegan, Zubin
Mehta, Gennady Rozhdestvensky and
Yuri Temirkanov, among others. In recent
years Mr. Balio has made solo appearances
in Lithuania, Russia, Italy and Brazil,
and released his solo recording for Naxos,
the Weinberg Trumpet Concerto with
the St. Petersburg Symphony. He made
his Carnegie Hall solo debut with the
Moscow Chamber Orchestra in a special
concert for victims of Hurricane Sandy,
many of whom were Soviet émigrés.
Mr. Balio has taught master classes
regularly in Russia, Poland and Italy, the
Conservatorio Nacional of Mexico, and in
Brazil, Chile, Scandanavia, Israel, Japan
and the United States. He has recorded
for the Sony, RCA, Angel, Phillips, Naxos
and Teldec labels.
He and his wife Laura recently
launched The Future Symphony Institute,
an online think tank (futuresymphony.
org) that examines the complexities of
making symphony orchestras financially
viable while preserving their artistic
mission. For his work in this area, he was
inducted into the Academy of Philosophy
and Letters and presented a paper at one
of the organization’s recent conferences.
Mr. Balio’s solo debut was at age 15
with the Milwaukee Symphony playing
the Haydn Concerto. His teachers
