According to The New York Times, Paul Haas “is surely on the brink of a noteworthy career.” Time Out New York calls him a “visionary”. He is the Music Director of the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas (SoNA), and his guest conducting engagements have included performances with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, San Antonio Symphony, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, and the New World Symphony, among others, as well as festival appearances. Recently, Paul’s performance with the National Symphony Orchestra and Itzhak Perlman as soloist caused the Washington Post to write:

“The young conductor Paul Haas was all about fresh thinking and visceral engagement. His musicmaking…revealed a keen musical mind and an impressive feeling for the natural pulse and trajectory of a score... Haas's sensitivity to rhythmic and dynamic gradation, and his ability to marry heartfelt expression with disciplined playing from the NSO...would have been impressive in a conductor three times his age. If Thursday’s concert was an accurate barometer of his talents, Haas is headed for a significant podium career.”
