As the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra’s 29th season winds down, we wish to extend a sincere thank you to our many supporters: our individual donors and subscribers, the businesses and organizations that sponsor our concerts and activities and the League of the HHSO. We also wish to thank the Town of Hilton Head and Beaufort County for their generous support through ATAX grants, the South Carolina Arts Commission, and a number of foundations.
Our season finale, “The Planets — A Celestial Journey” will be held May 2 at First Presbyterian Church, 540 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head. The concert will feature the HHSO Chorus in Verdi’s “Triumphal March” and “Ballet from Aida” and the women of the chorus in Holst’s “The Planets.” In addition, concertmaster Terry Moore and HHSO Youth Orchestra director Jonathan Aceto will perform Bach’s “Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor.”

This concert will mark the end of Mary Woodmansee Green’s tenure with HHSO. We hope you will join us at the concert as we thank her for the beautiful music that she and the orchestra have provided for the past 13 years. A post-concert reception in Maestra Green’s honor will be held immediately following the concert; please join us to show your support for all that she has contributed to the culture of our community.
