ABOUT
Jakub Rompczyk is an emerging Polish conductor trained in Europe and the United States, currently based in Los Angeles, California.
Since 2020, Jakub has been pursuing his doctoral studies at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. At UCLA, he conducts the campus-wide orchestra UCLA Symphony and assists in Opera UCLA’s productions.
From 2018 to 2020, Jakub served as Assistant Conductor of the Eastman Philharmonia and Eastman School Symphony Orchestra in Rochester, New York. In the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons, he completed a conducting apprenticeship at the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Munich, which gave him the opportunity to observe the chief conductor Mariss Jansons and other world-class artists.
Jakub has conducted numerous international orchestras, among others the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic Orchestra, Sibiu Philharmonic Orchestra, and Poznan Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra.
I was immediately struck by his passion and intensity in his conducting. He had a clear sense of what he wanted to come out from the music and conveyed that in his arms and in his remarks. He is a charismatic, outstanding musician and first-class conductor.Kirk Trevor, former Music Director, Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic Orchestra
He holds a Master of Music degree in orchestral conducting from the Eastman School of Music. As a recipient of the Erasmus Program scholarship, he studied with Uros Lajovic, a pupil of the legendary Hans Swarowsky, at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
In addition to his formal studies, he has participated in masterclasses with Bertrand de Billy, Mark Gibson, Nicolas Pasquet, Leonard Slatkin, Mark Stringer, Kirk Trevor, and David Zinman.
