Hello, I’m John Axelrod, an arts executive, conductor, and educator with a lifelong passion for transforming ideas into living cultural experiences. Over the years I have led orchestras, built cross-disciplinary programs that fuse music with gastronomy and wine, and developed global platforms for emerging talents through master classes, residencies, and fundraising. My work spans performance, education, and cultural philanthropy, uniting artists, sponsors, and communities around bold artistic visions.
I’ve built ventures across Europe, the Americas, and Asia—from leading major orchestras as Music Director and Artistic Leader to creating online and in-person programs like Conductors Master Class Online and Iam Bacchus. I’m committed to expanding access to musical patrimony and education, while fostering collaborations with partners and patrons to sustain ambitious artistic projects and cultural education for underrepresented audiences.
