Sarah Hatsuko Hicks is currently the Associate Conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra and has recently completed tenure as associate conductor of the Richmond Symphony. She will share the spotlight with piano superstar, Frederick Moyer. During his 25-year career, Frederick Moyer has established a vital musical profession that has taken him to forty-one countries. He has appeared as piano soloist with world renowned orchestras and has over 22 recordings covering works by over 30 composers reflecting his affinity for a wide variety of styles. Being a true Renaissance man/musician, he has also written many software programs to aid with practicing, analyzing, recording and performing music. Currently he is working on a recording of piano concerti where the orchestra is created with a computer using "sampling" techniques. He will be performing Schumann’s Concerto for Piano. The concert, on January 11th and 13th, will also showcase the unique John Corigliano’s Gazebo Dances. Mr. Corigliano is best known for his score of the movie The Red Violin. The orchestra will perform a suite from Stravinsky’s most famous The Firebird ballet, and the little known Tchaikovsky piece, Pax de deux “Bluebird,” which is from his ballet, Sleeping Beauty, and arranged by Stravinsky.
