Description
The Orchestra's homes over the years have included the CKOC radio studio, the Art Gallery of Hamilton at McMaster University, Memorial School Auditorium, Westdale High School Auditorium, The Palace Theatre, the Mohawk College Theatre and, (since 1973), the acoustically acclaimed Great Hall at Hamilton Place. The HPO has also performed in many other venues - perhaps most famously in Hamilton's trademark steel mills. At the opening of Hamilton Place on September 24th, 1973 the HPO performed the world premiere of Gait MacDermot's A Mass in Our Time which was commissioned for the occasion and conducted by Thomas Pierson, (and later performed in the Vatican for Pope John Paul II). In the same year the HPO accompanied composer-conductor/flugel hornist Chuck Mangione in Land of Make Believe recorded in Massey Hall. Music/Artistic Directors/Advisors of the HPO have included Jan Wolanek, Leonard Pearlman, Bryden Thomson, Victor diBello, Dr. Lee Hepner, Boris Brott, Mario Bernardi, Akira Endo, Victor Feldbrill, Daniel Lipton, Michael Reason, Timothy Vernon and currently, Jamie Sommerville. Its Concert Masters have included Arthur Garami, Hyman Goodman, Marta Hidy, Otto Armin and currently Lance Elbeck. Guest Conductors have included Aaron Copland, Arthur Fiedler, Andre Kostelanetz, Simon Streatfield, Joseph Silverstein, Kazuyoshi Akiyama, Piero Gamba and Newton Wayland. ...
