Yondani Butt was born in Macau where he studied conducting with Wolfgang Vacano at Indiana University and majored in chemistry. He continued to study conducting with Josef Blatt at the University of Michigan while pursuing his chemistry degree. Hailed by Robert Marsh of the Chicago Sun Times as "an outstanding talent", Yondari Butt has received acclamation from critics and audiences for his many recordings and concert performances. "Butt gives an unflagging performance, which has the sense of being made in a single take. This is a solid interpretation of Beethoven's Fourth Symphony, which shows well the tight ensemble of the London Symphony" - James L. Zychowicz, Musicweb International

His illustrious career as a conductor has completely overshadowed his compositions. Bartok's Viola Concerto, commissioned by the Scottish violist William Primrose, was left in sketch form at the time of the composer's death. The eventual completion by Bartok's friend Tibor Serly has been the subject of debate ever since it's first appearance in 1949.
