This season, Lin returns to the podium with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra in a pair of world premieres with the virtuosic cellist-vocalist-composer Abel Selaocoe. Also returning to conduct the Minnesota Orchestra in concert with Tony DeSare and Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, Lin debuts with Charlotte Symphony and Cirque de la Symphonie, and with Portland Symphony in Star Wars: A New Hope. As guest conductor, Lin has also directed the Saint Louis Symphony, Virginia Symphony, Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Williamsburg Symphony, Richmond Ballet, Baltimore Chamber Orchestra, and Taipei Philharmonic Chorus.

The Chautauquan Daily praised Lin for her 2024 direction of Dvo艡ák Symphony No. 8, “The entire CSO profited from Lin’s direction, from the violins’ beguiling rendition of the third movement’s lilting theme to the brass punches and horn whoops.”

Lin received accolades in 2019 as a last-minute replacement in Williamsburg Symphony’s performance of Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6. Assuming the podium the day of the concert, the Virginia Gazette reported Lin as “leading them through a thoroughly top-drawer performance” in “an exceptionally absorbing interpretation and rendering.”

Born and raised in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Gray’s early professional life took him on a diverse path ranging from orchestral violinist to beekeeper, before turning his full-time attention to conducting. Since the end of 2023, he serves as associate artist of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra: a newly created role that sees him conduct, curate, and present programmes right across the RSNO’s series offerings. Gray is also conductor and artistic director of the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra (Indiana, USA), beginning 2024/2025 season.
Gray credits the many folk music styles of the Southeastern United States as his earliest and most impactful musical influences, and his repertoire interests to date have been fueled by the engaged pursuit of that same spirit of cultural authenticity. This has led to a particular mastery not only of works that incorporate American folk idioms, but also in-depth explorations of heavily folk-inspired European composers such as Béla Bartók, Manuel de Falla, and Ralph Vaughan Williams, amongst others.

A passionate champion for African-diasporic composers, Gray was the founder and curator of Charleston Symphony’s Project Aurora: a programming and performance initiative aiming to illustrate the importance of African American arts and culture as equally valuable to its European equivalent. Additionally, he serves as assistant editor and conductor liaison for the African Diaspora Music Project, after extensive research at the Center for Black Music Research (CBMR) at Columbia College Chicago.

Gray’s discography to date comprises two celebrated releases—African American Voices and African American Voices II, made with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra—showcasing music by Margaret Bonds, William Dawson, William Grant Still, Coleridge Taylor Perkinson, Florence Price, and George Walker. Both records have met with the highest critical acclaim, including receiving an elusive five star review from the prestigious Diapason Magazine.

Gray’s appointment as associate artist of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra—the first position of its kind for the orchestra—marks an unprecedented but organic development following his highly successful tenure as the orchestra’s assistant conductor (2021–2023). Previous positions in Gray’s formative years as a conductor included successful tenures with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra (associate conductor, 2018–2023), Chicago Sinfonietta (conducting fellow and assistant conductor, 2016–2018), and Valdosta Symphony Orchestra (assistant conductor, 2014–2016).

Recent and forthcoming guest conducting highlights include engagements with such orchestras as the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony, Houston Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra (Washington), Philharmonia Orchestra (London), Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Seattle Opera, amongst others.
Outside of his busy transatlantic performance schedule, Kellen Gray is based in Glasgow, Scotland.
