Great Falls Symphony Presents : Ryan Tani

Experience an unforgettable evening of passion and drama with music director candidate Ryan Tani.

The program features Bernstein’s bold Overture to West Side Story, Márquez’s fiery Fandango with violinist Ilana Setapen, and selections from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet—from haunting tension to tender romance. A sweeping celebration of love, conflict, and storytelling through music.

Ryan Tani is currently the assistant conductor of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. In 2021, he completed his two-year tenure as the Orchestral Conducting Fellow for the Yale Philharmonia, where he was the recipient of the Dean’s Prize for artistic excellence in his graduating class. Committed to meaningful community music-making in the state of Montana, Ryan has directed the Bozeman Chamber Orchestra, Bozeman Symphonic Choir, Second String Orchestra, and MSU Symphony Orchestras, and recently served on the faculty at the Montana State University School of Music.

​

Ryan is also a graduate of the Peabody Institute and the University of Southern California, where he studied voice. Ryan currently resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he can be found in the park with his dog, playing board games with friends and family, in the library with a good book, or in the practice room with his violin.
