About

Roger Nierenberg, born in 1947 in New York City, developed an early passion for music, studying composition in high school with Elie Siegmeister. His academic journey led him to Princeton University, where he graduated with high honors in composition and was awarded a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. He continued his specialized education, earning graduate degrees in conducting from the Mannes College of Music and the Juilliard School, studying under Sixten Ehrling. After his education, Nierenberg began his career by teaching at Queens College (CUNY) while still in his twenties, also serving as a substitute chorus director for a semester.

Roger Nierenberg made his New York conducting debut at Avery Fisher Hall with the Pro Arte Chorale and Orchestra. This early success led to invitations to conduct operas at the Mostly Mozart Festival at New York’s Lincoln Center for two consecutive seasons. He then held long and successful tenures as Music Director for both the Stamford Symphony in Connecticut and the Jacksonville Symphony in Florida. His talent as a conductor drew invitations from renowned orchestras across the United States, including the National Symphony, the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, the Detroit Symphony, the Saint Louis Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony, the Indianapolis Symphony, and the San Diego Symphony. His international conducting experience includes recording with the London Philharmonic and leading performances at the Prague Spring Festival and the Beijing Festival. He has collaborated with many prominent solo artists and composers.

During his time with the Jacksonville Symphony, Nierenberg conceived The Music Paradigm, a unique program that uses a live orchestra to illustrate principles of organizational development and leadership. This initiative takes orchestral music outside the traditional concert hall, providing an interactive learning experience. The Music Paradigm has taken Nierenberg to the podium of over ninety different orchestras, working with hundreds of organizations in 23 countries. The insights gained from this venture are detailed in his book, “Maestro: A Surprising Story About Leading by Listening,” which was recognized in 2009 as the Best Leadership Book by 800-CEO-READ. Roger Nierenberg resides in New York City and has two children, a son who is a professional pilot and a daughter who plays French horn professionally.
