FRANCISCO NOYA has served as Resident Conductor of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra for eleven seasons. As Resident Conductor, he presents pre-concert talks and serves as “cover” conductor for all Classical Series concerts. He conducts the education concerts, the POPS-PHIL-PPAC Series and Summer Pops concerts. He joins Music Director Larry Rachleff representing the Philharmonic artistically and educationally throughout the Rhode Island community. He has also accompanied the annual Philharmonic tours to Europe, adding his musical expertise to the experience. This season Mr. Noya will conduct the Philharmonic’s April 18th Classical concert that features pianist Fabio Bidini and the Providence Singers.

Mr. Noya has become a prominent figure in the Boston and New England music scene. He served as Music Director of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra in Boston for 12 seasons and conducted acclaimed performances of both Bellini’s Norma and Verdi’s Aida with Symphony by the Sea and the Bel Canto opera company. He currently serves as a member of the Conducting Faculty of the Berklee College of Music in Boston. In the fall of 2008 he will begin his tenure as the Music Director of the Berklee College Symphony Orchestra. Later this season he will conduct the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra and present a program at a Providence Athenaeum Salon, among other engagements in the New England area.

A native of Venezuela, Mr. Noya served as Assistant Conductor of the Caracas Philharmonic and Assistant to the Music Director of the Teatro Teresa Carreño, one of the most prestigious theaters in Latin America. Earlier this summer Mr. Noya returned to Venezuela where he held Master Classes for 25 young conductors of the famed El Sistema, the world-renowned music-education program of that country. He also conducted two concerts in Caracas for the Miranda State Orchestra, one of the El Sistema orchestras.

Mr. Noya currently resides in Providence and can frequently be spotted on the tennis courts at Roger Williams Park.
