Conductor Edo de Waart began his career in the Netherlands but has led orchestras and operatic productions on several continents. He has held several major positions in the U.S., where he received his first big break. In 1967, Edo de Waart founded the Netherlands Wind Ensemble in 1967. One of de Waart's early digital recordings came with the San Francisco Symphony in 1984, with a performance of John Adams' Harmonium. In 2009, de Waart returned to the U.S., settling in the Milwaukee area and becoming chief conductor of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. His tenure there concluded in 2017, but he remains active with the orchestra as conductor laureate. He became the first principal guest conductor of the San Diego Symphony in 2019; he continued to hold that position as of the mid-2020s. By 2023, his catalog comprised more than 80 recordings.
