Recognized as "an entrepreneur bringing innovation to classical music" (Forbes), Chad Goodman leads an active and diverse conducting career. As the Conducting Fellow of the New World Symphony, Goodman conducts on subscription, education, family and holiday programs.
Since 2018, he has served as an Assistant Conductor to the San Francisco Symphony, working closely with Michael Tilson Thomas, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Manfred Honeck, Simone Young and Pablo Heras-Casado among others.
As Founder and Artistic Director of Elevate Ensemble, Goodman’s ambitious vision for concert programming resulted in the pairing of music from Bay Area composers with underappreciated gems of the 20th and 21st centuries. Elevate collaborated with photographers, videographers, poets, and culinary artists, bringing new music and vibrant multi-genre experiences to unique venues such as yoga studios, historic Victorian homes, and art studio warehouses.
