His mother was a piano teacher, and he began music lessons at 5 years old.
After graduating from Alhambra High School, he entered Chapman College in Orange, California as a double major in piano and voice; he later transferred to the University of Southern California where he majored in piano.
He eventually graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Music degree in 1985.
Gershon is married to soprano Elissa Johnston.
Gershon has appeared as guest conductor with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, San Francisco Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Minnesota Opera, Royal Swedish Opera, Juilliard Opera Theatre, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the Gustav Mahler Chamber Orchestra and the Finnish Avanti! Chamber Orchestra, among others.
He has led performances at many of the world's most prestigious festivals, including the Salzburg Festival, Ravinia, Edinburgh, Vienna, Aspen, Ojai and Helsinki festivals as well as the Roma-Europa Festival and the Festival Otonno in Madrid.
He served as Assistant Conductor / Principal Pianist with Los Angeles Opera from 1988 to 1994, where he participated in over 40 productions and garnered a reputation as one of the country's exceptional vocal coaches.
He was named Assistant Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Esa-Pekka Salonen in 1994, a position he held until 1997.
Early in his career he served as Assistant Conductor at the Salzburg Festival, the Berlin State Opera and the Aix-en-Provence Festival, working with conductors Esa-Pekka Salonen, Daniel Barenboim and Claudio Abbado.
In May 2000, Gershon was named Music Director of the Los Angeles Master Chorale effective Fall 2001, taking over for Paul Salamunovich who was retiring.
He is only the fourth conductor to hold that title.
During this time, he has conducted over 250 performances at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and has led the chorus in a number of world premieres, including:
He led the U.S. premiere of Two Songs to Poems of Ann Jäderlund by Esa-Pekka Salonen with the Master Chorale, along with other U.S. premieres of works by composers James MacMillan, Tarik O'Regan, Sofia Gubaidulina and Mark-Anthony Turnage.
Beyond his work with the Master Chorale, he has also championed new music.
He conducted the world premiere of John Adams opera Girls of the Golden West and Adams' opera/theatre piece, I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky, directed by Peter Sellars.
He and pianist Gloria Cheng premiered Hallelujah Junction, a piano-duo piece written for them by John Adams.
In February 2007, he conducted the world premiere of Ricky Ian Gordon's opera, The Grapes of Wrath with Minnesota Opera, along with following performances with Utah Opera.
On May 21, 2007, the Los Angeles Opera and Los Angeles Master Chorale issued a joint press release.
In 2010, Gershon led the world premiere performances of Il Postino by Daniel Catán, featuring Plácido Domingo as the poet Pablo Neruda.
In it, they announced that Gershon would be extending his contract with the Master Chorale through the 2010/2011 season, and that he was being named Associate Conductor/Chorus Master of Los Angeles Opera.
In the press release, Plácido Domingo called Gershon, "an exceptional musician whose broad musical interests, technical mastery and impressive experience will be a huge asset to LA Opera".
In this position at LA Opera Gershon has conducted over 50 performances including La traviata, Madama Butterfly, Carmen, Philip Glass's Satyagraha, Handel's L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato in Mark Morris's production, and the previously cited Il Postino.
On May 18, 2014, the Los Angeles Master Chorale issued a press release, in which they announced that Gershon would be extending his contract with the Master Chorale through the 2019/2020 season.
With this renewal, Gershon's title will change to Artistic Director, which reflects his desire to "redefine the choral experience".
With this expanded role, Gershon will create an "immersive" concert experience by incorporating lighting, staging, video, movement, and attire into the production.
The Chorale will seek to engage new audiences by presenting more concerts at venues outside of Disney Hall and the Hollywood Bowl.
Gershon has made seven recordings with the Los Angeles Master Chorale:
Gershon has conducted two DVD releases with LA Opera featuring Plácido Domingo
He has also served as chorus master on the Grammy Award winning recording of John Corigliano's The Ghosts of Versailles with LA Opera.
