He also returned to Washington National Opera to conduct West Side Story, The Glimmerglass Festival for Oklahoma!, and Lyric Opera of Chicago to lead and arrange the debut of A Night of Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness with The Smashing Pumpkins.

In the 24/25 season, Lowe debuted with the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra in Sweeney Todd, returned to The Atlanta Opera for Rent and La bohème, and conducted Il barbiere di Siviglia at Lyric Opera of Kansas City.

Lowe’s creative flair is evident in his arrangement of Songbird, an adaptation of Offenbach’s La Périchole in the style of 1920s New Orleans jazz, presented at The Glimmerglass Festival. Additional credits include La bohème at Houston Grand Opera, The Lion, The Unicorn and Me at Washington National Opera, Show Boat at The Glimmerglass Festival, The Little Prince at Utah Opera, and Madama Butterfly at Tulsa Opera.

He was also Music Supervisor for the national tour of Anything Goes, and currently serves as U.S. Music Supervisor for the North American tour of The Phantom of the Opera.

Lowe received a Grammy nomination for the Anything Goes cast album, which he conducted and co-produced. He has appeared with the cast on The Late Show with David Letterman, CBS Early Show, and A Prairie Home Companion. He has toured nationally with My Fair Lady and The Light in the Piazza.

In concert, Lowe has collaborated with Sir Elton John, Randy Newman, and Booker T. Jones, and accompanied Betty Comden in a performance of his own arrangements.
