Scottsdale Philharmonic Announces Program for May 7 Concert

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - EntSun -- The Scottsdale Philharmonic has announced the musical program for its next concert on May 7, 4-6 p.m., at the Scottsdale Center for Performing Arts, 7380 East Second St.

Led by Principal Conductor Maestro Dmitry Polyakov, the May 7 concert will feature a special tribute to Louis Armstrong, with soloist Dan Reed.  The concert will also feature a masterpiece of Russian music, Anton Arensky's "Symphony No. 1 in B minor."

Maestro Dmitry Polyakov represents the modern landscape of classical music with a personality that embodies the great Russian musical traditions of the Moscow Conservatory. "Our audience will enjoy his artistic interpretation of Anton Arensky's 'Symphony No. 1' classical masterpiece," says Joy Partridge, Executive Director of the Scottsdale Philharmonic.

Louis Daniel Armstrong (Aug. 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971), nicknamed "Satchmo," "Satch," and "Pops," was an American trumpeter and vocalist. He was among the most influential figures in jazz. His career spanned five decades and several eras in the history of jazz. Armstrong received numerous accolades including the Grammy Award for Best Male Vocal Performance for Hello, Dolly! in 1965, as well as a posthumous win for the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1972, and the induction into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2017.
