He has led orchestras throughout the United States and internationally, including the Chicago Symphony, Detroit Symphony, National Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre National de France, Hong Kong Philharmonic, BBC Symphony Orchestra London, and many more. Grams recently concluded his tenure as the music director of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra after eight seasons, and this will be his ProMusica debut.
