2022-2023 GUEST ARTISTS AND COMPOSERS

A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Tamara Dworetz is quickly establishing a reputation as a compelling and energetic musical force on the podium. In various capacities, she has led the Paris Mozart Orchestra, Boston Pops, Dallas Opera Orchestra, Moscow Symphony, Cabrillo Festival Orchestra and Amarillo Symphony, and in the 2022-23 season she will make her debut with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, Mankato Symphony and Georgia Philharmonic.

Tamara was recently selected as 1 of 14 candidates from a worldwide pool in the 2022 La Maestra Conducting Competition and Academy for Women Conductors in Paris, France. She was the only US-born conductor selected for the competition, and earned a spot as one of 6 semi-finalists. She was also chosen for the 2-year Academy in which she will learn from world-class orchestras, including the London Philharmonic, Philharmonie de Paris and National Orchestra of France.  Tamara also won 2nd prize in the Boston Pops' Leonard Bernstein Conducting Competition, and has recently been selected as a Taki-Alsop Mentee.

Additionally, Tamara has covered for Bramwell Tovey and the BBC Concert Orchestra at the London Proms, and for 2 years was Assistant Conductor for the Austin Symphony Orchestra and Butler Opera Center. Recently, Tamara was Cover Conductor for the Sarasota Orchestra and Assistant Conductor for the Atlanta Opera.

Tamara is an advocate for championing the voices of living composers, such as Reena Esmail, Carlos Simon, Adolphus Hailstork, Ingrid Stolzel, Jessie Montgomery, Missy Mazzoli, Arturo Marquez, Quinn Mason and Jocelyn Hagen. She also loves to design collaborative performances, and recently invited Rudras, an award-winning Indian Classical Dance Team, to perform a story-through-dance to Indian-American composer Reena Esmail's TaReKiTa.  Tamara has been a recipient of the Bruno Walter Conducting Fellowship at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, studying with Cristian Măcelaru, conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestre in Cologne.

Tamara has worked extensively with Conservatory & Collegiate orchestras, and enjoys working with pre-professional students and passionate non-majors.  This season, she will lead conducting residencies with the Boston University School of Music and SUNY Fredonia School of Music, conducting the orchestras and teaching masterclasses to graduate students. Tamara has also been a guest conductor for the Longy Conservatory Orchestra at Bard College, co-music director for The University of Texas University Orchestra, and Music Director of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (NY) Orchestra and Concert Choir.

A devoted music educator, Tamara’s own musical beginnings took place in the Atlanta public school system, and she participated in as many of Atlanta’s vast offerings of youth ensembles as could fit in her busy high school schedule (she was also on the soccer and basketball teams!). Tamara was inspired by her music teachers to pursue music education and conducting, and now as a professional conductor, she is passionate about leading young musicians in exciting musical experiences that pass-along the same inspiration she was given. In February 2023, she looks forward to guest-conducting the TMEA (Texas) All-State Philharmonic Orchestra. Previously, she served as Interim Conductor of the Austin Youth Orchestra, and worked with the Emory Youth Symphony Orchestra and Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras. Additionally, Tamara taught public school as Director of Orchestras at Lakeside High School in Atlanta. This year, Tamara is thrilled to conduct the very same orchestra she took part in as a student, the Fulton County Honor Orchestra. In fact, they will feature music by Kennedy Center Composer-in-Residence, Carlos Simon, who attended Tri-Cities High School in Fulton County!

Tamara enjoys writing and speaking about her passion for music. Tamara wrote a paper on leadership entitled, The 21st Century Conductor-Musician Relationship in which she interviewed esteemed conductors and musicians, such as Marin Alsop. She has participated in interviews with media which you can view on her website.

​Tamara and her husband, Stephen, live in Brookhaven, Georgia with their puppy and 2 guinea pigs. When she's not studying or working, she enjoys going to the dog park, re-discovering Atlanta as an adult, drinking her favorite craft & Belgian beers, traveling, and watching dark comedies.
The music of composer and pianist John Kuntz (b. 1996) ventures within timbral extremes, pursuing dissonant, emotive and expressive depths, theatrical magnetism, as well as electronic soundscapes. He is currently a freelance composer in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

His works have been performed at Western University, Berklee College of Music, the University of Memphis, and Luther College. He was a showcase composer as part of Classical Minnesota Public Radio’s Minnesota Varsity competition, where his chamber work As the Day Unfolds was premiered and broadcasted live. His piece Two Minds was commissioned as part of Luther College’s Reformation Cantata, a commemorative concert of the Lutheran Church’s 500th anniversary. In 2019, Kuntz was awarded a research grant to complete an original, one-act musical Matchgirl which was premiered by Luther College’s SPIN Theatre Company. More recently, Kuntz was commissioned to write Virago and Sonder, two song cycles based on original poetry by librettist and soprano Natalie Nelson.

While Kuntz is mainly known as a composer, he is an experienced pianist, accompanist, and chorister. Kuntz has performed major solo works by Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Haydn, Liszt, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, and more. He has performed at Luther College, University of Memphis Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music, Idlewild Presbyterian Church, and Presbyterian Church of the Apostles. In addition, Kuntz has had vast choral experience, having sung in Luther College’s Norsemen and Cathedral choir, as bass section leader and accompanist for Collegiate Chorale, and as a hired section leader for Idlewild Choir in Memphis, Tennessee.

Kuntz is interested in music’s ability to heal and make an impact. He finds that the most rewarding aspect of being a musician is through seeing one renewed through either his composition or performance. Kuntz has volunteered and interned in music therapy at Fairview Hospice in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Wellington Place in Decorah, Iowa.

Kuntz worked as a graduate assistant for the University of Memphis Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music, where he earned his Master’s in Music Composition studying music composition with Dr. Kamran Ince and electronic music with Dr. Scott Hines. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Music from Luther College, studying composition with Dr. Brooke Joyce and piano with John F. Strauss.

When not writing or performing music, Kuntz enjoys hikes, bike rides, and runs. He also works in Development as the Annual Fund Manager for the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.

Recognized as a firebrand in the classical music field for the expressive energy and originality she brings to new and traditional repertoire, the effervescent soloist and chamber musician aspires to foster interpersonal connections between people from diverse backgrounds to catalyze conversation and the exchange of unique perspectives through music performance.

The ardent Francophile and French-speaking pianist received the Fulbright-Harriet Hale Woolley Award in the Arts to study music in Paris as an undergraduate. ​

She has led workshops and masterclasses at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the State University of New York at Fredonia, the University of Kansas, the University of Northern Iowa, and Wartburg College. Hailed as “a sparkling pianist” by the Hyde Park Herald, Longendyke is on track for a transcendent musical career.
