Italian-born Simeone Tartaglione is a multi-talented conductor and pianist. His preparation at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome was in the European tradition, and included conducting, composition, opera, and chamber music. He also studied piano performance at the Bellini Institute in Sicily. He has had extensive conducting experience in symphonic and opera repertoire with orchestras from Italy, Spain, Russia, Romania, Mexico, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and the United States, winning numerous competitions and prizes along the way. In addition to his degrees and honors, Tartaglione holds a Dottore degree in Italian Literature and Musicology from the University of Palermo and is a published author.

After two years studying, teaching and conducting in Denver, Colorado, Tartaglione came to the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University in 2007 for further work under the tutelage of Maestro Gustav Meier, and received a Graduate Performance Diploma in 2011.

In addition to being Assistant Conductor of the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, in November of 2011
Tartaglione was guest conductor of Concert Artists of Baltimore with the Towson University Chorus in a special concert celebrating the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy. The operatic program featured winners of the Rosa Ponselle International Competition where Tartaglione served as a member of the jury.

On March 22, 24 and 25, 2012 he conducted the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra Spring concerts with world-renowned saxophonist Gary Louie while MSO Music Director Julien Benichou and the MSO performed The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess opera at Morgan State University in Baltimore on March 29 through April 1, 2012. In 2010 Tartaglione added Music Director of the Newark (DE) Symphony Orchestra to his workload and, at the beginning of April 2012, two more positions – those of Music Director of the Delaware Youth Symphony and faculty member at The Music School of Delaware.

Simeone Tartaglione lives in Baltimore, MD with his wife, violinist Alessandra Cuffaro, and their two daughters.
