Logan Souther is an imaginative and versatile musician whose artistry spans the podium, piano, and arts leadership. Equally at home in the opera pit, on the concert stage, and in community engagement, he has built a career defined by creativity, adaptability, and a belief in music’s power to inspire, educate, and connect audiences.
He currently serves as Associate Conductor of The Hamptons Festival of Music (TH•FM), where he directs the Salon Series and Hamptons Music Club — programs that make classical music approachable for new audiences. With TH•FM, Logan has led the New American Sinfonietta in performances from Stravinsky to Tchaikovsky, conducted outreach concerts for hundreds of students, and presented a live orchestral accompaniment to Charlie Chaplin’s A Dog’s Life with The Hamptons International Film Festival.
Logan’s command of both orchestral and operatic repertoire has taken him to the music staffs of Sarasota Opera, The Atlanta Opera, OperaNEO, The Harrower Summer Opera Workshop, and The Augusta Opera Initiative. He has served as Interim Music Director of the University of Georgia Opera Theatre and as Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Georgia State University Opera Theatre, elevating artistic standards and expanding programming from Mozart to Stephen Paulus.
On the symphonic stage, he has appeared as guest conductor with the Atlanta Pops Orchestra and the Georgia Festival of Music, and served as Assistant Conductor of the Bellingham Festival of Music, the premier orchestral festival of the Pacific Northwest. An expressive pianist, he frequently collaborates in recital and chamber music with members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Houston Symphony, and New Jersey Symphony.
A passionate advocate for community engagement, Logan partners with the Atlanta Music Project, an El Sistema–inspired organization, bringing orchestral and operatic music to audiences of all ages.
An enterprising artistic leader, he founded the Gainesville Sinfonietta at 19, developing it into a professional orchestra offering free concerts and cultural enrichment to North Georgia. He has also self-produced numerous orchestral events, successfully mobilizing funding to sustain the legacy of classical music in America.
Logan began conducting studies at 15 with Michael Palmer, continuing with him at Georgia State University, where he earned a Master of Music in Orchestral Conducting (2017) and a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance (2016). Additional mentorship includes Dwight Oltman and David Effron.
