Dorian Komanoff Bandy

An energetic, dynamic multi-instrumentalist, Dorian Komanoff Bandy is a conductor, baroque violinist, and historical keyboardist. His repertoire spans four centuries, from the Renaissance through the solo and chamber works of Beethoven and Schubert, and his performances—praised for their “impressive emotional scope” and a “virtuosity [that is] relentless, precise, and, above all, dazzling” (The Whole Note)—have taken him to venues across Europe and North America, including London’s Wigmore and Cadogan Halls, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, and New York’s Symphony Space.

In addition to his activities as a performer, Dorian is active as a musicologist. He is the author of the book Mozart the Performer: Variations on the Showman’s Art as well as numerous academic articles on Mozart, Beethoven, and other topics. He is associate professor of musicology and historical performance at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music, where he has taught since 2019.
