About

Alex Gemeinhardt is a talented young conductor from New York City. He is currently in his third year as a student of Andrew Kim and Adrian Rogers at the New York Youth Symphony Robert L. Poster Apprentice Conductors Program. Having an interest in conducting since age 3, Alex’s formal conducing studies began at age 15 when he was asked to conduct John Corigliano’s Voyage for String Orchestra with his Youth Orchestra at the School for Strings.

At the New York Youth Symphony Conducting Program, Alex has had the chance to conduct excerpts from the standard orchestral repertoire, such as Sibelius' Symphony No.2, Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, Strauss' Tod und Verklärung, Brahms Symphony No. 4, Prokofiev Symphony No. 5, Barber Symphony No. 1, Dvorak Symphony No. 7, and Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances.

Alex also served as the Assistant Conductor to the Symphony Orchestra at Third Street Music School under Barry Stern, stepping in for various rehearsals, and conducting Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 2 in their annual Concerto Concert.

In February 2026, Alex programmed his own conducting recital, gathering a full orchestra, organized the orchestra parts, and presented the concert, with two days of rehearsals and a concert day. The program included Beethoven Coriolan Overture, and Dvořák Symphony No. 8.

Under the mentorship of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Alex has had multiple private lessons with Yannick, working on select recitatives and aria’s from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni. During the summer of 2026, Alex will attend the Domaine Forget de Charlevoix festival, studying conducting with Kensho Watanabe, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
