"Brian Dollinger was a delight to work with on Charlie Chaplin at the Symphony, conducting a challenging musical program that included works by Stravinsky, Mozart, and Rossini, as well as an intricate contemporary score for two Chaplin films by Grant Cooper. This music had to be precisely synchronized to the movies, and it was. Brian was equally impressive during the non-musical portions of the show, handling his lines and comic business with aplomb. I couldn't have asked for a better adversary, or a taller one." ~ Dan Kamin comedian & guest artist "Rarely do we have an honour of working with a conductor of such a lively and interesting personality as Brian Dollinger. For both the audience and the musicians of Lutoslawski’s Philharmony in Lomza, the performance proved to be unforgettable and one of the most significant artistic events of the time. Thanks to his openness while cooperating with the orchestra and his stunning talent, Brian has left us with a feeling of respect for his class, perfectionism and vibrancy as well as with expectation of prompt cooperation in the future." ~ Jan Milosz Zarzycki Music Director, Lutoslawski's Philharmony "Conductor Brian Dollinger is a wonderful personable conductor, his excellent technique and musical control of the orchestra enabled me to feel totally free and confident in my work as a soloist." ~ Rei Hotoda, piano "An excellent conductor...He explains things in a way to understand them." ~ Bradley Symphony Orchestra Student "It was a pleasure to work with you! Your attitude with the orchestra was stern, but good natured and I thought you bought out the best in everyone." ~ Anthony Arnone, cellist "Mr. Dollinger is a great conductor... I wish he became our director sooner!" ~ Bradley Symphony Orchestra Student
