Nicholas Bromilow is a British conductor and Music Director of the Prince George’s Philharmonic. His work has taken him across the United Kingdom and the United States, combining artistic leadership with a strong commitment to community engagement, imaginative programming, and creating musical experiences that reach audiences both inside and beyond the traditional concert hall. He also serves as Music Director of the Huntsville Youth Orchestra in Alabama.
Nicholas holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in Orchestral Conducting from the University of Michigan. During his time in Ann Arbor he served as Music Director of the Life Sciences Orchestra, Michigan Pops Orchestra and Campus Philharmonia Orchestra, leading a broad range of symphonic repertoire alongside opera, ballet and choral-orchestral performances. Among the highlights of his tenure was a performance of Edward Elgar’s rarely performed masterpiece The Dream of Gerontius, bringing together more than 250 performers from the Life Sciences Orchestra, UMS Choral Union and distinguished guest soloists in one of the University’s largest collaborative musical projects. He also conducted productions for the University’s Department of Voice & Opera, including Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro and Kevin Puts’ Elizabeth Cree. In 2025, Nicholas founded the iBallet Orchestra, bringing together student and community musicians alongside dancers for fully staged productions of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. The initiative established a new orchestral tradition for the company while providing valuable performance opportunities for emerging musicians.
Nicholas has also appeared as a guest and assistant conductor with ensembles throughout North America, including the Cleveland Women’s Orchestra, Cleveland Heights Chamber Orchestra, and Jackson Symphony Orchestra (Michigan). In 2025 he worked with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra as Cover Conductor and Score Reader, assisting Music Director Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider. He has continued his artistic development through participation in leading conducting programmes, including the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, the Eastern Music Festival, National Music Festival and Medomak Conductors Retreat.
Before moving to the United States, Nicholas built an extensive conducting career throughout the United Kingdom. He held Music Director positions with numerous orchestras and choirs, including Long Ashton Orchestra, where he led a complete cycle of Beethoven’s symphonies, and was Co-Founder and Music Director of Resonance Orchestra. Under his leadership, the ensemble became known for presenting orchestral performances in unexpected locations, including beneath the wings of the decommissioned Concorde aircraft at Aerospace Bristol, inside the historic vaults beneath Bristol Temple Meads railway station, and in Bristol’s Motion nightclub. These performances reflected his long-standing belief that great orchestral music should be experienced by audiences wherever they are, rather than only within the walls of a traditional concert hall.
As a conductor, Nicholas is recognised for energetic rehearsals, thoughtful programming and a collaborative approach that places musicians and audiences at the centre of the artistic process. He believes orchestras have an important role in strengthening communities by creating meaningful shared experiences, encouraging curiosity, and making high-quality musical performance accessible to the widest possible audience.
Nicholas is honoured to begin this new chapter with the Prince George’s Philharmonic and looks forward to working alongside its musicians, board and supporters to build on the orchestra’s distinguished history. Together, they will continue celebrating the rich cultural life of Prince George’s County while exploring new artistic collaborations, broadening community engagement, and creating inspiring musical experiences for audiences across the region.
