Beaufort Symphony Orchestra opens season October 15
The Beaufort Symphony Orchestra (BSO) and Maestro Frederick Devyatkin invite everyone in the greater Beaufort area to attend the opening concert of the 24th season entitled “Two Fifths of Beethoven”! World-renowned piano soloist Daniel Adni, above, will headline the all-Beethoven program on Thursday, October 15, 8:00 p.m. and Sunday matinee, October 18, 3:00 p.m., at the USCB Performing Arts Center, 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort.
Mr. Adni has become one of Europe’s most sought-after concert artists. He will perform Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto No. 5 with the BSO, followed by the orchestra playing Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.
Mr. Adni was born in Israel and made his keyboard debut at age 12. While studying at the Paris Conservatory he won their Premier Prix three times. In 1976 he was given top honors at the Young Concert Artist International Auditions, joining a list of truly exceptional musicians including Emmauel Ax and Murry Perahia. He has received rave reviews under the baton of Sir Georg Solti, Sergiu Commissiona, Lorin Maazel and Zubin Mehta.
He is appearing with the Beaufort Symphony as a result of the generous support of local music patron Martha D. Hoke, who met Mr. Adni at the Romanian Arts and Music Festival in Britain two years ago.
The second “Fifth” of Beethoven chosen by Maestro Devyatkin for the opening program is Beethoven’s towering Symphony No. 5, which begins with its famous notes ‘da-da-da-da’. Now the audience has an opportunity to hear every single stirring note.
In addition to the adult orchestra, the BSO is also the parent organization of the Beaufort Youth Orchestra, a dynamic group of young players also directed by Fred Devyatkin. This group welcomes young people from upper elementary through high school by audition.
