Thomas Ludwig considered “America's newest symphonist” by Symphony Magazine, is the founder and the music director of The Ludwig Symphony Orchestra and the Beethoven Chamber Orchestra in Atlanta. Hailed as "a prodigiously gifted conductor with a superb baton technique," Maestro Ludwig has conducted world renowned orchestras such as The London Symphony Orchestra, Prague Chamber Orchestra, The Minnesota Symphony, The New York City Symphony and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.

Over the past three decades, Ludwig has maintained a dual career as both conductor and composer. Thomas Ludwig has served as the music director and principal conductor of the Atlanta Ballet Orchestra and the New York City Symphony, a resident conductor for American Ballet Theatre and Mikhail Baryshnikov at the Metropolitan Opera House. 
He was also a guest conductor with stars of the New York City Ballet, the Odessa National Philharmonia, and the London Symphony Orchestra. In 1972, at the age of twenty, Mr. Ludwig was appointed music director and conductor of the New York City Symphony. Critics noted at a Lincoln Center performance, that "Mr. Ludwig secured brilliant performances of Beethoven and Strauss from a splendid young ensemble." His early conducting lessons included studies with Leonard Bernstein and the great European conductor Maestro Herbert von Karajan.

Equally accomplished as a composer, he has produced distinguished concert music for a variety of commissions among them: Four Symphonies, a Violin Concerto, a Piano Concerto, a String Symphony, "Cocoanuts" Overture Fantasie, and "Four Songs" for Soprano & Orchestra. Among his chamber music: Piano Quartet and Woodwind Quintet. The New York Times and The Washington Post call his music “skillful in its control of form…eloquent masterpiece...a masterful message in the language of music.” Recordings of his music appear on National Public Radio (NPR), Voice of America, WNYC, WGMS, and Radio Grupo in Central and South America.  

A graduate of the Juilliard School in New York City and a prize winner of the Kennedy Center Freidheim and the Indianapolis Symphony Composer's Competition Awards, his works have been performed by world renowned orchestras at Lincoln Center in New York City, Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., China, Tokyo, London, Italy, and Mexico City. His Symphony No. 1 was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra (Albany Records) and the Louisville Symphony Orchestra (First Edition label) and published by G. Schirmer in New York. His Symphony No. 2 “child of the Zona Rosa”, recorded with the Orchester Philharmonic de la UNAM, a prick of conscience for the young children of poverty in Mexico City, the Violin Concerto inspired by the heroism of the young students of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing and recorded in Miami, and his Symphony No. 3, premiered with the Orchestra da Camera Fiorentina in Florence, Italy, is a large neo-romantic canvas dedicated to the forgotten young soldier facing an implacable foe in a heroic yet perhaps-futile cause.  

His recent projects included a recording of the three Schmelzer Symphonies, conducting the Prague Chamber Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra. He also presented Stravinsky's Firebird Suite for the first time ever in China along with the Chinese premiere of his Cocoanuts Overture Fantasie with the Sichuan Broadcasting Orchestra. A recent world premiere of his "Quatro Lyricas Canciones" for soprano and orchestra in Mexico City was broadcast to 250 million people live in a performance by the Orquesta Sinfonica de Mineria.
