AMERICAN MOS IC TH SEASON | 2017-2018 | HHSO.ORG 36 SYMPHONYHHSO OF THE LOWCOUNTRY AMERICAN HHSO HHSO.ORG MOS IC “The American musical experience offers music, traditions and cultures of the world, like a mosaic, to create a soundscape that defines our nation. It is music that captures tragedy and triumph, struggle and freedom, and conveys the essence of the American ethos. The Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra devotes its 2017-2018 Season to the American Mosaic with both new and familiar works for orchestra composed by the greatest generation of American composers as well as many of the most beloved works in the orchestral repertoire. The music of Beethoven, 2017-2018 2017-2018 SYMPHONY OF Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Ravel rubs shoulders THE LOWCOUNTRY with Gershwin, Copland, Bernstein and Barber as our orchestra celebrates richly diverse musical styles that are as evocative as they are sumptuous.

    Fall 2015 KONSTANTIN SOUKHOVETSKI RETURNS TO

    Fall 2015 KONSTANTIN SOUKHOVETSKI RETURNS TO STAR AT THE MUSICAL FEAST! Were you there in the fall of October 2002 when a black-cloaked figure strode out onto the stage at First Presbyterian Church --- whirled around, revealing a bright red lining --- tossed the cloak onto the stage --- then sat down at the keyboard and dazzled the HHSO audience with a brilliant rendition of Franz Liszt’s devilishly difficult Totentanz? If you were, you probably already have your tickets to the HHIPC’s benefit A Musical Feast, which we are happy to say is now sold out. Russian born, Konstantin came to the United States in the late 90s to attend The Juilliard School. While at Juilliard, his teacher Jerome Lowenthal suggested he apply to Pianofest in the Hamptons, a boutique summer festival for 12 top-tier pianists. He was accepted, loved the non-competitive atmosphere and being with other young musicians. Thus, he returned there the next six summers. The house in which they live has a Steinway grand in every room including the kitchen! The pianists practice, cook, play games, and hit the beach together, forming close personal friendships. In 2011, he was asked to be the artist-in-residence at Pianofest where he came up with the innovative idea of filming the first-ever reality show about classical music. This show – “The Real Pianists of the Hamptons” -- just completed its third season and is intended to show how classical music can be hip. Take a look at the show on YouTube or Facebook. We’re sure Konstantin will tell you more about it during the question and answer session.

The performances will take place Thursday, January 5, 2017, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, January 6 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, January 7 at 8:00 p.m. HK Gruber said: “Just knowing that you are writing for Emanuel Ax is inspiration enough for a composer’s life. To know that the New York Philharmonic, led by Alan Gilbert, will perform this commission makes me indescribably lucky. When I was about 12, the New York Philharmonic became my favorite orchestra after I heard them with Lenny Bernstein playing Mahler’s Fifth in the Vienna Konzerthaus, and when I was looking in my childhood for good recordings of 20th-century music, mostly the New York Philharmonic saved me! When I write for a soloist, I always ask, ‘Who is your favorite concerto composer?’ to get a picture of the personality of my magician.
