Scottsdale Philharmonic invites classical music lovers for May 15 concert

Performance led by the baton of maestro Dmitry Polyakov

Posted

The Scottsdale Philharmonic announced its last concert of the spring season will on Sunday, May 15 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.

The May 15 concert, with maestro Dmitry Polyakov, will feature Beethoven’s 4th Symphony, John Stafford Smith’s national anthem and Arlen and Harburg’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” with soloist Melissa Solomon among many other performances.

“Polyakov has comprehensive music education, international experience, and skills in symphonic and operatic conducting,” Carol Skjaerris, executive director of the Scottsdale Philharmonic, stated in the release. “He is a professional who can inspire all members of artistic and management teams to achieve new horizons of artistic success. Polyakov holds the keys to how to make any orchestra the ‘diamond’ among arts organizations in the classical music industry, and leave a noticeable mark on music history and the community.”

Polyakov represents the modern landscape of the classical music industry — an artistic leader with an authentic vision as an interpreter of classical music masterworks of all genres. 

“The introduction of Guest Conductor Dmitry Polyakov was well received by the audiences of the February and March concerts,” Skjaerris stated. “Dmitry is brilliant, and amazing to watch. He is extraordinary and powerful when he conducts the movements.”

He is the personality who embodies the great Russian musical school, the Moscow Conservatory, which brought the world the greatest musical names of Rachmaninov, Richter, Rostropovich and others.

“We are delighted to have Dimitry’s expertise in helping us to take our orchestra to the next level,” Joy Partridge, co-founder of the Scottsdale Philharmonic, stated in the release. “Our musicians are enjoying working with him and performing for live audiences in 2022. Be sure to get your tickets now for our May 15 concert.”
