Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra Music Director Michael Repper Receives Two GRAMMY Nominations

The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra is proud to announce that its Music Director, Michael Repper, has been nominated for two GRAMMY Awards for his work with the National Philharmonic.

The album, a world-premiere recording celebrating the 150th anniversary of composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, received nominations for Best Orchestral Performance and Best Classical Instrumental Solo. Conducted by Michael Repper and featuring violinist Curtis Stewart with the musicians of the National Philharmonic, the recording highlights the depth, energy, and inclusivity that have come to define Repper’s artistry both on stage and in the studio.

“These nominations are a testament not only to Michael’s extraordinary musicianship but also to his commitment to bringing vital, underrepresented voices in classical music to the forefront,” said Jeffrey Parker, Chair of the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors. “We are incredibly proud to have him leading our orchestra.”

Repper, who won a GRAMMY Award in 2023 for his recording with the New York Youth Symphony, continues to garner international recognition for his innovative programming and passion for making orchestral music accessible to diverse audiences.

The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, now in its 28th season, celebrates this achievement as part of its ongoing mission to present world-class music across the Delmarva Peninsula.
