Hartford Symphony Orchestra

Description

• The Hartford Symphony Orchestra is Connecticuts premier musical organization. The Hartford Symphony is the second largest orchestra in New England and is widely recognized as one of Americas leading regional orchestras. We believe passionately in the performance of live symphonic music and its value in the community. To that end, the mission of the HSO is to perform live orchestral music of the highest quality for ever-expanding audiences and to increase, through its educational programs, the understanding and enjoyment of that music by residents of Connecticut.The HSO presents more than 230 concerts annually, including the Masterworks Series, Pops! Series, Sunday Serenades, Lincoln Financial Discovery Concerts, Symphony in the Schools, Musical Dialogues, and the Talcott Mountain Music Festival.The Hartford Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1934 and formally established as the Symphony Society of Greater Hartford in 1936. Angelo Coniglione, Jacques Gordon, Leon Barzin, Moshe Paranov, and George Heck were the Orchestras first music directors. With the appointment of Fritz Mahler in 1953, the HSO began its Young Peoples Concerts and made several highly acclaimed recordings for Vanguard. In 1964, Arthur Winograd became music director and the Orchestra grew in artistic stature, performing at Carnegie Hall and other New York locations to highly favorable reviews. Under the artistic leadership of Michael Lankester from 19852000, the HSO received national recognition for its programming innovations, including the popular Classical Conversations and Family Matinees, as well as a series of landmark theatrical productions. From 20012011, Edward Cumming led the HSO to new levels of artistic excellence and innovative programming. The Hartford Symphony Orchestra named Carolyn Kuan as its tenth music director in January 2011; she is the first woman and youngest person to hold this title.
