MODESTO, CA - The Modesto Symphony Orchestra (MSO) will present their first virtual recital featuring MSO pianist John Hillebrandt and hosted by Associate Conductor Ryan Murray on Wednesday, July 22 at 7:00 pm. The live performance will feature works by Ravel and Chopin and will conclude with one of Hillebrandt’s compositions, Nocturne.
The MSO is planning to have a virtual event each month while they remain offstage due to the current pandemic. This first virtual recital will be shown live on the MSO’s YouTube channel. The MSO’s virtual events will be free of charge to help bring music to everyone in the community.
“We certainly miss performing, but most of all we miss connecting with our community,” said Caroline Nickel, President and CEO of the Modesto Symphony Orchestra. “We’re making our virtual events free to all as a way to make classical music more accessible to the community. This is a hard time for everyone and we want to help by creating a digital space where we can gather, reconnect, and enjoy music.”
