“Barnaby is a truly talented conductor in his own right and has been invaluable in helping me create performances of depth and interest. During our many performances and recording sessions he has offered valuable insight that has contributed to my musical vision… [He] has earned the respect of the musicians musically and personally… Barnaby Palmer would be a tremendous asset to the musical fabric of any organization.”
Iván Fischer
Founder & Music Director, Budapest Festival Orchestra
“From the first rehearsal [of Il Barbiere di Siviglia], Barnaby was absolutely prepared. Having memorized the text and music, he was able to keep his eyes on the singers, mouth along the words and provide assistance when necessary... Throughout the rehearsal process he was well liked and respected by both the singers and orchestra. The performances proved to be a success, and Barnaby was given a standing ovation by the orchestra... I have since asked Barnaby to return for Opera San José’s production of Die Zauberflöte and can recommend him without reservation.”
Irene Dalis
Founder & General Director, Opera San José
