Tony Rowe

Conductor Tony Rowe has released several albums, including one of the very few in existence featuring music by early American composer William Henry Fry. He also teaches mathematics at the university level. Rowe served as assistant conductor of the American Symphony Orchestra in New York and later as music director of the Vassar Orchestra (he served as assistant professor at Vassar College for nine years) and conductor of the Westchester Conservatory Orchestra in White Plains, New York. In 2000, Rowe made his recording debut, leading the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in a performance, apparently the first ever recorded, of the Santa Claus Symphony (Santa Claus, A Christmas Symphony) of composer William Henry Fry. He made several more recordings, leading the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland and the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra in symphonies by Havergal Brian.
