Roman Pawlowski

Music Director, Delaware County Symphony

Conducting professionally since 1964, Roman Pawlowski has earned renown in the performance of choral, orchestral, operatic, and contemporary music. Having studied with such masters as Melhi Mehta, Pierre Monteux, Max Rudolph, and Erich Leinsdorf, Maestro Pawlowski now presents more than 25 concerts a season. He began his tenure with the orchestra that was to become the Delaware County Symphony in 1969. Since then, he has raised the musical horizons of both performers and audiences through his artistic leadership, innovative programming, and depth of musical understanding. His belief that the living art of music offers a connecting link between all life's experiences demands that his role of performer include that of teacher as well. Maestro Pawlowski is also music director of the Newark Symphony Orchestra, the Immaculata Symphony Orchestra, and the Young Peoples String Orchestra in Baltimore. He has a Bachelors degree in composition from the Philadelphia Musical Academy and a Masters degree in composition from the University of Pennsylvania. He was chairman of the Haverford School music department for twelve years and has served on the music faculty of Rosemont College and Neumann College.
