2018 HIGHLIGHTS

Conservatory Chamber Players performed at the True/False Film Festival. They were the opening act of the Spring Concert, followed by four quartet ensembles and performances by the Junior Sinfonia and Young Artists Philharmonic.

The Conservatory took their first tour trip in 2018. They traveled to Chicago to perform as part of the National Festival of the States and performed with the Chicago Metamorphosis Orchestra Project.

The Hot Summer Nights Festival celebrated 15 years in 2018. Maestro Kirk Trevor and Assistant Conductor Matthew Straw led the Missouri Symphony Orchestra through 20 concerts over six weeks. The Masterworks series began with Verdi Requiem, a tribute to Founder and Conductor Laureate Maestro Hugo Vianello. “Mostly Mozart” featured the Resident Opera Artists, who performed La Bohème the following week. The production was directed by Christine Seitz of the Show-Me Opera and University of Missouri. A Charlie Chaplin Triptych with accompaniment from the Missouri Symphony Orchestra was a crowd pleaser, and the annual Patriotic Pops performance brought back the Resident Opera Artists in a festive 4th of July concert. Pops performances for the festival included a collaboration with the Missouri Contemporary Ballet and western swing group Asleep at the Wheel, fronted by Ray Benson.

The 17th Annual Piano Student Showcase featured 26 young artists performing on the grand piano at the Missouri Theatre. The Showcase was co-produced by the Missouri Symphony League and the Missouri Symphony Conservatory.

The Conservatory gave several community performances at varied locations and their Fall Concert at the Missouri Theatre. “The Magic of Christmas Holiday Spectacular” featuring the Conservatory’s Young Artists Philharmonic and the combined choirs of Moberly was performed for the first time. A gift from the estate of Virginia Hagemann was received that will support the Conservatory for years to come.

The Missouri Symphony League’s 35th Annual Holiday Home Tour featured four beautiful homes throughout Columbia. The tour had record attendance in 2018.

The Missouri Symphony participated in CoMoGives in December, and was awarded a challenge grant from the Community Foundation of Central Missouri for increased donations in 2018 over 2017.

The year ended with the Shelter Insurance Symphony of Toys, featuring a parade of semi-conductors, guest vocalists Karen Kanakis and Jacob Lassetter, and the Conservatory Chamber Players.

We thank YOU, MOSY supporters, for a fabulous year of music! 3
