Duilio Dobrin (born in Buenos Aires), is an American conductor, composer, and pianist of Argentine origin. Duilio Dobrin’s last performance with the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra was described by the late James Roos of the Miami Herald as follows: It takes a glorious masterpiece like Franck's D minor Symphony to make an impact, and Dobrin's performance did. He caught the almost religious aura of its mystical dusk; understood precisely how the horns and winds simulate the reed stops of an organ; gave the English horn solo, exquisitely played its unhurried space, and stirred up the finale to an incandescent glow.
Argentine-born Dobrin’s professional career includes nine years as Resident Conductor of the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra and the Music Directorship of the Chamber Orchestra of Connecticut, composed of musicians including The New York Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera. The COC received frequent praise from Robert Sherman of the New York Times. He has shared the stage with international artists as diverse as Pinchas Zuckerman and Celia Cruz, and has led professional orchestras from New York to Munich and Tokyo to Buenos Aires.
Dobrin studied at the 'National Conservatory of Argentina and was then a student of Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood, Sergiu Celibidache in Munich, and Otto-Werner Mueller at Yale University. He received the degree of Doctor of Arts from Ball State University with a dissertation about Austrian conductor Erich Kleiber.
At the International Conducting Competition in 1988 in Tokyo, he was the only American to reach the finals of the competition. In Lugano 1991, he was among the winners. He was the music director for the Chamber Orchestra of Connecticut, and from 1992 to 2000 the resident conductor of the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom he founded the series of events LatinPops. He has also served as a guest conductor in New York, Munich, Tokyo, Lugano, Montreal, and Buenos Aires.
After working as an assistant to Karl Richter at the Teatro Colón he began to conduct operas and oratorios. He also conducted performances of the operas Carmen, The Marriage of Figaro, The Barber of Seville, Gianni Schicchi, The Elixir of Love (as on Broadway), The Fiddler on the Roof, and A Salute to Harold Prince (with Elaine Stritch, Theodore Bikel, Debbie Shapiro, Kevin Gray, and Harold Prince himself).
In 2000 he was honored by Pope John Paul II for his contribution to liturgical music. In 2002 Dobrin started teaching at the University of Oklahoma and directed its symphony orchestra. In 2008 he was hired at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, teaching Comprehensive Musicianship, Latin Ensemble, Jazz Piano, and AP (Advanced Placement) Music Theory. His Latin American Ensemble has won the Downbeat Award for Best Latin Jazz two years running in 2010 and 2011.
