Acclaimed as "dynamic and knowledgeable" by the Buenos Aires Herald, Croatian conductor Miran Vaupotić has worked with eminent orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Berliner Symphoniker, the Russian National Orchestra, the St. Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra, the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Budapest Symphony Orchestra MÁV, Orchestre de Chambre de Genève, the Cairo Symphony Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional Argentina and others, performing in major halls around the globe, such as Carnegie Hall, Wiener Musikverein, Berliner Philharmonie, Rudolfinum, Smetana Hall, Victoria Hall, Forbidden City Concert Hall, Shanghai Oriental Art Center, Dubai Opera, Tchaikovsky Hall, International House of Music, CBC Glenn Gould Studio etc. In addition, Vaupotić has led three of China’s annual National New Year Tours, with the St. Petersburg State Hermitage Orchestra, the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra respectively, performing at China’s most eminent venues.
Miran Vaupotić has collaborated with notable artists such as Inva Mula, Ray Chen, Yury Revich, Davide Alogna, Julian Steckel, Kirill Rodin, Angélica Olivo, Andrey Gugnin, Anna Aglatova, Mario Hossen, Sandra Rumolino, Mariano Rey, Richard Galliano and many others.
A strong advocate for new music, Vaupotić has premiered many pieces including Carlos Franzetti’s Clarinet Concerto, Roberto Di Marino's Guitar Concerto, Primous Fountain’s Symphony No. 2 commissioned by 28-time Grammy Award-winning American producer Quincy Jones, and most recently The Wild Symphony composed by #1 New York Times bestselling author Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code).
He also premiered several operas including Waundell Saavedra’s Sweet Dreams, John Rose’s Rumpelstiltskin directed by Tyler Bunch (The Muppets) at The National Opera America Center in New York City, and Jelka by the late Croatian composer Blagoje Bersa, bringing the piece to life a century after the influential composer’s passing.
As a recording artist Vaupotić released albums with Naxos, Classic Concert Records and Navona Records. In 2015 he was honored with the Gold Medal at the Global Music Awards in California (USA).
Miran Vaupotić won First Prize and special award at the 12th International Aram Khachaturian Conducting Competition in Yerevan, Armenia. He was the Chief Conductor of the Croatian Chamber Orchestra, Artistic Director of the Piazzolla Music Competition and Chief Conductor of the South Czech Philharmonic.
““His gestures are exact, while expression is functionally perfect and pleasing at the same time. The first is, of course, much more important, but even a gesture that is pleasant, graceful, always has a positive effect.””
““Excellent conductor Miran Vaupotić drew scrupulously phrased playing.””
