Johannes Müller-Stosch Music Director Dear Friends of the Holland Symphony Orchestra, This year I am looking back on six great years of being the Music Director of the HSO and the orchestra’s accomplishments. We have grown and matured as an organization and have created a sound and a presence that we look forward to sharing with you, our supporters. In this NEW season we will perform repertoire that has not previously been done in Holland. Classics I will take us to Russia (after Beethoven’s French Revolution-inspired Leonore Overture) to the lush Romantic melodies and exciting rhythms for Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. The juxtaposition of Romantic gestures with exciting rhythms will tie our first concert to Classics II as we travel to France with Debussy and Ravel and an added Spanish flair. The diversity wouldn’t be complete without a longer stop in Germany of the 1920s. I am excited to share the music of Franz Schmidt and Joseph Marx with you since the composers of that era are of particular interest to me and they are beginning to be re-discovered after being put aside by the Nazis. The pieces presented to you in this season are extraordinary, and our line-up of first-rate artists will bring you to your feet. I am so thankful that live classical music thrives in Holland, Michigan. It is due to your continued support that we can perform these concerts for you and share our passion for orchestral music. I encourage you to invite your friends and neighbors to become part of our audience.
