HHSO’S 40TH SEASON
Dear Islanders and Visitors, I am excited to write this letter because it means we are moments away from reconnecting in the sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church to have our minds and souls synchronized by the purest of notes radiating from the Concertmaster’s bow. What a long, strange year it has been but we are all sitting here together, in part, because the arts eased our anxieties and helped us stay engaged with our world through the COVID-19 pandemic. This year is especially exciting as we celebrate the 40th Anniversary Season of the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra (HHSO) and John Morris Russell’s 10th Anniversary Season as its Music Director. The unity, joy and inspiration that the HHSO has brought to our community over the last 40 years is almost immeasurable. We are blessed to live in such a naturally beautiful place filled with beautiful music. This season, the HHSO will thrill us by presenting a blend of classical and pops concerts, bringing Symphony Under the Stars back to Honey Horn, and presenting the renowned Hilton Head International Piano Competition. Year after year, the symphony makes us proud. Thank you for supporting this great organization, particularly during this milestone year. I personally look forward to seeing each of you at these concerts and many of the other incredible arts and cultural events on our Island. My Best,
JOHN MCCANN MAYOR HILTON HEAD ISLAND “The unity, joy and inspiration that the HHSO has brought to our community over the last 40 years is almost immeasurable.”

The Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra thanks the Town of Hilton Head for its support of the arts in the Lowcountry. We are especially grateful for the support the orchestra receives through Accommodations Tax and thank the members of the committee for their appreciation of what our orchestra brings to the community.
