George Vass

George Vass is a British conductor and music director known for his championing of contemporary classical works. As founder and artistic director of the Presteigne Festival in Wales, he's become a key figure in showcasing new music by UK composers like Cecilia McDowall and Huw Watkins (both featured in his recent releases). His knack for crisp interpretations shines through projects like the "British Piano Concertos" series and collaborations with ensembles including the Orchestra of St Paul's. Whether conducting lyrical moments in "Bird of Time" or navigating icy soundscapes in "The Ice is Listening," Vass brings a collaborative spirit to both studio recordings and live performances – often giving fresh life to modern chamber works and newly commissioned pieces.
