Neal Gittleman
Artistic Director and Conductor, Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra

Neal Gittleman enjoys a career and reputation of international dimensions. With the historic merger of the Dayton Ballet, Dayton Opera and Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra into the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance in July 2012, his expanded conducting duties include frequent performances with the Ballet and Opera.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Neal Gittleman graduated from Yale University in 1975. He continued his musical studies with the eminent teachers Nadia Boulanger and Annette Dieudonné in Paris, Hugh Ross at the Manhattan School of Music and Charles Bruck at both the Pierre Monteux Domaine School and the Hartt School of Music, where he was the recipient of the Karl Böhm Fellowship. In 1984, he was the Second Prize Winner of Geneva’s Ernest Ansermet International Conducting Competition, and, two years later, he was awarded Third Prize at the Leopold Stokowski Conducting Competition in New York City. In 1989, he was selected for the American Conductors Program at the American Symphony Orchestra League’s annual conference in San Francisco. In May 2014, he was awarded a 2014 Governor’s Award for the Arts in Ohio.

Neal Gittleman inspires each listener’s imagination with his unique programming, in-depth comments, easygoing style and infectious enthusiasm for music. His focus is to make symphonic music readily available, as well as appreciated, by all musical tastes. Under his direction, the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra has received the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) award for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music nine times. Neal Gittleman will celebrate his 25th season with the DPO in the 2019–2020 concert season.

Dr. Peter Bath

Bees - How sweet it is!

Aug 26, 2020

“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”   Einstein didn’t say it but the truth is still there!  Bees are a constant source of inspiration and mystery challenged by mankind’s greed.

Dr. Peter Bath Bio:

Dr. Bath has more than 42 years’ experience working in a variety of leadership roles in health care, higher education and church congregations – locally as President of Kettering College for 10 years in the 90s and Pastor of the Kettering Adventist Church for 10 years in the 80s.  Building community has been a consistent theme throughout his ministry, networking communities and resources to bring about both understanding and response to the needs of the people. “…seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Jer 29:7 

Peter and Catherine have been married 43 years. Their interests include sailing, skiing, scuba diving, music, camping and bee-keeping.  Their family includes three daughters, two sons- in- law, three grandsons and one granddaughter, most of whom reside in Ohio or the Washington D.C. area except for Gillian who is living in London England.
