DAVID ITKIN GUEST CONDUCTOR The 2021-2022 season marks David Itkin’s 17th season as Music Director and Conductor of the Abilene Philharmonic, and his 14th year serving as Professor of Music and Director of Orchestral Studies at the University of North Texas College of Music.

Maestro Itkin’s ‘21-‘22 calendar features complete, revitalized concert seasons with the Abilene Philharmonic and the UNT Symphony Orchestra, as well as appearances with the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra, “Messiah” for the Abilene Opera Association, a complete, concert production of Verdi’s “Otello” at the UNT College of Music, and an appearance with the Texas Region 25 Honors Orchestra. Highlights in recent seasons include Mahler “Symphony No. 4,” Verdi’s “Requiem,” Beethoven “Symphony No. 9,” Puccini’s “Turandot” in concert, Janacek’s “The Cunning Little Vixen” with the UNT Opera Theatre, and “West Side Story” for the Abilene Opera Company.

Following a distinguished 17-year tenure, Maestro Itkin was named Conductor Laureate of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra in July 2010.

Previously Mr. Itkin served as Music Director & Conductor of the Las Vegas Philharmonic, Artistic Director and Conductor of the McCall Summerfest in McCall, Idaho, and as Music Director & Conductor of the Lake Forest Symphony (Chicago), the Kingsport Symphony, the Birmingham Opera Theatre, and the Lucius Woods Music Festival (Wisconsin).

During past seasons Maestro Itkin’s career has taken him to 45 U.S. states and 15 countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, including concerts and recordings with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Slovenska Filhamonija, the San Diego Symphony, and the Seoul Philharmonic.

Other guest conducting appearances include concerts with the Colorado Philharmonic, the Annapolis Symphony, the National Repertory Orchestra, the Fort Worth Symphony, the Illinois Symphony, the Delaware Symphony, the New Hampshire Symphony, the Cheyenne Symphony, and the Indianapolis, Baltimore, and Reno Chamber Orchestras. During the Summer of 2006 Maestro Itkin appeared once again with the Slovenska Filharmonija in Ljubljana, Slovenia, conducting the opening concert of the 14th World Saxophone Congress.

His book, “Conducting Concerti,” was released in August 2014 to considerable critical acclaim. Leonard Slatkin called “Conducting Concerti” “a valuable textbook for the aspiring Maestro…highly recommended,” and Samuel Adler called it “an invaluable addition to the world of conducting textbooks.” Mr. Itkin’s next book, The Conductor’s Craft, will be published

by GIA Publications (Chicago) in December 2021.

Mr. Itkin’s first film score (“Sugar Creek”) was recorded in 2006 by the Arkansas Symphony for the film’s 2007 release. His most recent major 2021-2022 SEASON

work, “Exodus”, an oratorio, was premiered in April 2005 in Little Rock, with William Shatner narrating. “Exodus” was released worldwide on CD in 2007.

In May 2009 Maestro Itkin was awarded both an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by Lyon College and the Above the Barre award by Ballet Arkansas.

In addition to his professional schedule, Maestro Itkin regularly serves as a guest conductor/clinician, including concerts with the Arkansas AllState Orchestra, the Southern California High School Honors Orchestra, the Maine All-State Orchestra, the Las Vegas Senior Honors Orchestra, and several Texas all region Honors Orchestras.

KRISTEN HERTZENBERG Best known for her role as Christine in the Las Vegas production of “The Phantom of the Opera”, Kristen Hertzenberg has proven her ability to sing anything in her concerts, performing music ranging from opera to Broadway to blues. Desert Companion magazine has named her Best Torch Singer in Las Vegas, describing her voice as “a dynamic instrument that goes from gritty blues to angelic peal at the drop of a Julie London record sleeve.”

Raised in the Houston area, Hertzenberg studied at UT Austin and earned a master’s degree in opera at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She also studied at the Austrian American Mozart Academy in Salzburg, Austria and was a first place winner in the National Opera Association competition. After touring Europe in the musical “Hair,” she moved to Las Vegas for “Phantom” where she spent five years in her dream role. She has also played Sophie in Terrence McNally’s “Master Class,” and has starred as Dyanne in the long-running Las Vegas production of the Tony award winning musical “Million Dollar Quartet.”

As a featured soloist, Hertzenberg has sung with orchestras across the country and continues to perform her cabaret evening to sold-out audiences in venues here and abroad, both with her band and with acclaimed pianist and Broadway veteran Philip Fortenberry.
