MISSION OF THE PLANO SYMPHONY
It is the mission of our orchestra to inspire, educate,
entertain and involve the children, youth and adults of our community in the
enjoyment of great music.
a message from T H E P R E S I D E N T
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Plano Symphony Orchestra, I would like to welcome you to this performance as we celebrate our 37th season. The PSO constantly strives to provide our patrons with excellent programs featuring both Classical Music and Pops, and we believe that this year has set a new standard. With performing talents such as Sharon Isbin and Kenneth Broberg, classical works such as Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Ravel’s Bolero, and music presentations of all-time favorites ABBA and Queen, we think you’ll agree that this season is outstanding.
My wife Jan and I have been attending the PSO for the past 11 years. What started out as “Date Night” has evolved into a more personal relationship with the organization, as we’ve come to appreciate and enjoy the talents of our PSO musicians and staff, our wonderful Guild and Board, and the many others who volunteer their time and talents to help bring the enjoyment of music and music education
to our North Texas community. All help to fulfill our mission — to inspire, educate, and involve the children, youth, and adults of our community in the enjoyment of great music!
The PSO’s efforts go far beyond the performances that you’ll see as part of this subscription series. This year, our School Concert Program be providing 11 performances to over 14,000 4th and 5th Graders from most of the area’s Independent School Districts. Our PSO staff provides the curriculum necessary to help the students better understand and appreciate those performances. For many students, this will be their first introduction to the enjoyment of classical music. Participating schools also receive an on-campus visit from a PSO musician to introduce their instrument and concert repertoire, providing each student with an up-close and personal experience with music.
I would like to provide a special “Thank You” to our many contributors who help make all of our subscription and school concerts possible, plus much more. Whether it be our EncoreYouth music programs, our Healing Notes musical therapy visits to senior living facilities, or our many other community outreach programs, please know that your donations are very much appreciated and directly impact the programs we offer. All gifts of $250 receive two tickets to our School Concert Program, so you can come along and directly see how your donation benefits our area youth.
Thank you for your continued patronage, and to our many volunteers: Bravo!
Warmest regards,
Craig BarberPresident, PSO Board of Directors

a message from T H E E X E C U T I V E D I R E C T O R
Dear Friends,
Music can be found everywhere in our world. Music gives us ways to express ourselves. Music helps us celebrate, it is something we share and, it culturally defines us. Every culture in the world has its own form of music that is enjoyed by all ages. Although each culture is different, music unifies all races, religions, and ages. Music, of course, is all about community!
I’m so proud of the work the Plano Symphony Orchestra accomplishes in our community. Whether it’s through our many classical or popular concerts or our varied music arts education programs, your orchestra has become an integral part of North Texas. What you may not know is that your PSO has developed award-winning, multi-dimensional education and community outreach programs. From “Healing Notes,” our music-therapy program for seniors and incarcerated youth, to our Salvation Army After School
Program, we have seen first-hand the power of music to positively impact the lives of children, teens, and adults alike.
Of course, a crucial element of a professional orchestra is the artistry presented on stage. That’s why your PSO is widely acknowledged as one of the leading professional regional orchestras in the country. Led by our beloved music director Hector Guzman, your Symphony is comprised of the most highly accomplished musicians to be found anywhere in the country.
As you can see, I’m very proud of the PSO and all of its musicians, staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers who make our organization work each and every day. However, it also takes an engaged, supportive, and loyal audience of supporters like you, our many subscribers and individual ticket buyers. It also takes hundreds of individual donors, corporations, foundations and government entities to support our annual operations. Without YOU, your PSO would not exist. I know I speak for our entire organization when I offer my thanks for your continued support. I invite you to be an ambassador for the Plano Symphony Orchestra. Please tell your family, friends and acquaintances about the Plano Symphony and invite them to attend some of our performances and events. I am confident they will have a great time and want to become more involved with the Plano Symphony Orchestra family.
I hope you will enjoy our 2019-2020 season. If there is anything we can do to make your experience more enjoyable, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here for you!
Thank you again!
Warmly,Robert A. ReedExecutive DirectorPlano Symphony Orchestra

Hector Guzman
Maestro Hector Guzman is regarded as one of the most respected and admired conductors in this country and abroad. His recent appointment as music director of the Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra in May 2017 and his tenure as music director of the Plano Symphony, the Irving Symphony, the San Angelo Symphony, and as Conductor Emeritus of the Jalisco Philharmonic in Mexico, have placed him among the most important musical figures on the podium today. He has been a frequent guest conductor of an array of prestigious ensembles: Mexico: National Symphony, Mexico City Philharmonic, UNAM Philharmonic, Xalapa Symphony, Bellas Artes Chamber Orchestra, Vivaldi Orchestra of Mexico City, and State of Mexico Symphony. United States: Dallas Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Wheeling Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, and the Chicago Sinfonietta. Dominican Republic: National Symphony. Czech Republic: Collegium Orchestra of Prague. Poland:
Rszezow Philharmonic. Japan: Japan Philharmonic. South Korea: Masan Philharmonic, and Gangsam Symphony. Italy: Amadeus Orchestra, Sinfonia Venetto, Milano Classica Orchestra, Bari Symphony, San Remo Symphony, and Pomeriggi Musicale Orchestra of Milan. Spain: Sinfónica de Murcia, Joven Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid, and Excelentia Orchestra. Panamá: National Symphony, among many others.
In addition to a spectacular career as a conductor, he continues to enjoy international success as a concert organist, performing in venues such as the Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas, the Spivey Hall Distinguished Artist Series in Atlanta, the Olivet Nazarene recital series in Illinois, the cathedrals of Morelia, Guadalajara (Mexico) and Chartres (France), and the International Music Festivals in Toledo, Spain and Zamora, Mexico.
Maestro Guzman holds degrees from: The Conservatory of Music in Mexico City, the University of North Texas (BM), and Southern Methodist University (MM). His teachers include his mentor Anshel Brusilow, former concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra and former music director of the Dallas Symphony, as well as internationally renowned conductors Helmuth Rilling (University of Oregon) and Carlo Maria Giulini (Accademia Chigiana in Siena, Italy). He was also a protégé of the late Maestro Eduardo Mata, music director of the Dallas Symphony. In his native Mexico, Hector Guzman achieved an impressive reputation as an organist, under Prof. Victor Urban, by taking first prize in the “Chamber Soloists” and the “Manuel M. Ponce” national organ competitions. In the United States, while a student of world famous master teachers Dr. Robert Anderson and Alfred Mouledous, he earned further distinction by winning solo competitions at Southern Methodist University, the University of North Texas, and he was the first Latin-American ever chosen as a finalist in the “Grand Prix de Chartres,” the world’s most prestigious international organ competition celebrated in France. He is also the recipient of the “Mozart Medal,” Mexico’s highest musical honor, presented by the embassy of Austria and the Mozart Academy in Mexico City, as well as the 2012 “Lifetime Achievement Award” of North Texas, and the 2014 Sigma Alpha Iota National Arts Associate award.
