Stephen P Brown is known for conducting thrilling and passionate performances in various musical styles, yet reviving, establishing and growing musical disciplines have provided him with unique qualifications. Currently Artistic Director of the Jubilee Symphony Orchestra in Manhattan, and Musical Director of the Jacksonville Chapel Concert Band, Mr. Brown has been quietly developing a leadership maturity since his first public conducting appearance in New Jersey at age 16.

"Almost as if the music is a

tangible medium he is sculpting"

Kathleen Haft

Once described by George Hurst as "too nice to be a conductor", Mr. Brown has learned how to employ his optimism, enthusiasm and encouraging spirit on the podium, industriously sculpting colorful and energetic musical encounters. In addition to his own compositions, some of the world premieres conducted by Mr. Brown include Antonin Tucapksy’s "Triptychon", works by Mathew Power and Martin Gaughan, as well as the European premiere of Australian composer

Ross Edward's "Dawn Mantras" as part of the UK's Millennium Festivities.
