Guido Mancusi
Principal Guest Conductor and composer
His connection with the orchestra dates back to 2010, since then he has been a regular guest leading the orchestra. Our cooperation became official in 2018, by creating the position of ‘Principal Guest Conductor’.
Besides working with Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra, he is also Music Director of the Wiener Volksoper Orchestra, Guest Conductor for the Wiener Symphoniker and Principal Conductor of the Schönbrunn Orchester Wien. He is also an avid composer.
Guido has no favourite composer; he believes there are two kinds of music: good and bad. His favourite pieces are Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier, Alban Berg: Wozzeck and Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde.
He is married and has a daughter.
“I love working here because together with these insanely talented musicians we are capable of accomplishing anything. They are brave and not afraid to take risks. This is exactly what art needs in order to be true. Upon the 2018 anniversary, wish the orchestra another 25 successful years and to find plenty of joy in making music.”
