Beaufort Symphony announces 2010-2011 season

With the last glorious notes of Tchaikovsky’s Marche Slav still ringing through the hall, the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra announces plans for its 25th season. Subscriptions are now available on the BSO’s website at www.beaufortorchestra.org.

World-renowned keyboard artist, Daniel Adni will return for the opening concert in October 2010. Mr. Adni is a resident of London, England, and a celebrated performer with orchestras and chamber groups throughout Europe. He appeared with the Beaufort Symphony last year, with the generous support of local music patron, Martha Hoke. Mrs. Hoke will again sponsor Mr. Adni’s performance with the orchestra in October.

While preparing for last season’s concerts Maestro Fred Devyatkin and Adni quickly formed both a personal friendship and a professional partnership. “Daniel brings exceptional artistry and technical facility to his performances, and balances his passion for playing with a sense of grace and good humor,” said Devyatkin. A huge fan of Ludwig van Beethoven, Devyatkin loves to program the compositions of the renowned composer. The new season’s opening concert will offer two towering works by Beethoven – Piano Concerto # 3 with Mr. Adni at the keyboard, and Symphony, # 7 for orchestra.

Next year also promises to be a bright one for the Beaufort Youth Orchestra. The orchestra have been able to double the number of year-end scholarships provided to the young musicians as a result of generous contributions from the greater Beaufort community over the past season. Several youth will attend music camps this summer, while others will continue with private lessons from area teachers. If you would like to have more information about participation in or support for the Beaufort Youth Orchestra, please contact Greta and Ron Maddox at 843-838-8001.

The Beaufort Symphony Board of Directors joins president Ed Like in thanking all who have helped us to ‘Keep The Music Live’ in the past by contributing in a great many ways to our organization. If you would like to make a contribution, place an ad in our 2010-2011 season programs, or support the adult or youth orchestras in any way, we invite you to contact Ed Like at 843-838-1237. We welcome new and returning subscribers to the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra family and look forward to seeing you at the wonderful concerts the Maestro and orchestra members have in store for you.
