Conductor

Bálint Karosi currently serves as Cantor at Saint Peter’s Church in New York City, where he is artistic director of the Saint Peter’s Bach Collegium, which he founded in 2015 for annual performances of J. S. Bach’s Passions, cantatas, and to commission and premier new sacred repertoire. He has conducted at Koch Theatre at Lincoln Center, the Budapest National Concert Hall, Yale Sprague Hall and in churches in the greater metropolitan area. In addition to conducting larger symphonic works, he frequently leads Baroque repertoire from the harpsichord.

From 2007 to 2015, Dr. Karosi served as Minister of Music at the First Lutheran Church of Boston, where he established a Bach Cantata Vespers, raised funds for the completion of the Richards Fowkes Op. 10 organ, and he founded the church’s successful annual Boston Bach Birthday in 2008, which has since developed into the most popular organ-related event in Boston.
