After a distinguished career at the helm of two American orchestras, Roger
Nierenberg is now emerging as a creative force for innovation in the
presentation of symphonic music. For 14 years, he led the Jacksonville Symphony
Orchestra in Florida, where he succeeded in building one of the great concert
halls in America. The pinnacle of his time in Jacksonville was the orchestra's
appearance in the Carnegie Hall Festival of American Orchestras. During his
lengthy tenure with the Stamford Symphony in Connecticut, the orchestra
developed a reputation as one of the finest in New England. Nierenberg has
guest conducted many of America's most distinguished orchestras and opera
companies and has performed at some of the world's most prestigious music
festivals. His recording with the London Philharmonic Orchestra can be found
on Sony Classical Records.
Nierenberg has also created the highly successful experiential learning event,
called The MUSIC PARADIGM, in which an orchestra is used as a metaphor for any
dynamic organization. With executives seated among musicians, Nierenberg
leads a series of exercises, carefully crafted to address the sponsoring
organization's specific issues. The MUSIC PARADIGM provides a creative
framework for rethinking leadership style, philosophies, and effectiveness.
Since its inception in 1995, MUSIC PARADIGM sessions have been held for more
than 150 major companies, leading financial institutions, and global consulting
firms through the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America with over 70 different
orchestras. It has been the subject of reports on ABC, CBS, CNN, and PBS and
was the sole feature of an hour-long broadcast of the BBC's Money Programme.
