On Saturday October 15, the Catskill Symphony Orchestra starts their season at the Foothills Performing Arts Center in a 7 p.m. concert featuring Sara Daneshpour as a guest pianist.
The night’s program includes four pieces; Beethoven’s “The Creatures of Prometheus Overture” and “Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major,” “The Unanswered Question” by Charles Ives, and Luigi Cherubini’s “Symphony in D Major.”
Daneshpour is a world-renowned musician, having placed 3rd in the 2017 Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition, was 2014 prizewinner at the Seoul International Music Competition in Korea, and was 2013 Laureate of the ProLiance Energy Classical Fellowship Awards of the American Pianists Association.
The Catskill Symphony Orchestra was founded as a community volunteer group in 1953, before being converted to tax-exempt professional status in 1974. From 1973 until 2017, the orchestra was conducted by Maestro Charles Schneider and in 2020 Polish conductor Maciej Żółtowski was appointed the new Music Director.
The Foothills Performing Arts Center, located in Oneonta, is a not-for-profit entertainment and civic center that serves the cultural, educational, and community needs of the Otsego, Delaware, and Chenango region.
