ASHLAND — The Ashland Symphony Orchestra will present “Structured Storms: Classical Chaos,” Saturday, April 23, at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Robert M. and Janet L. Archer Auditorium.
The ASO is auditioning five candidates for the position of Music Director/Conductor. Each will program and conduct a concert during the 2021-2022 season. This is the final concert of the subscription season.
It is Isaac Selya’s turn to be on the podium. The pieces that have been selected for this program are Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture, Tchaikovsky’s Serenade, and Mozart’s Symphony No.25. Selya has chosen three pieces that will surely take the audience by storm.
Isaac Selya is a musician of remarkable versatility and has extensive experience as a conductor, pianist, vocal coach, cellist, and entrepreneur. He is the founder and Artistic Director of the Queen City Opera.
He is committed to ensuring that musical education is accessible to everyone, and serves as a Cello teaching artist and a conductor at the MYCincinnati Youth Orchestra. Selya started his professional music career at the age of 18. He holds a BA from Yale College, and he completed an MM in conducting at Mannes College. He also holds a doctorate from the University of Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music.
Equally at home in the symphonic repertoire, he has conducted the Xiamen Philharmonic, the Dayton Philharmonic, the National Symphony of Guatemala, the Chelsea Symphony, and the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra.
In addition to the 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in-person performances, this program will be available to stream on demand from April 29 to May 28.
