SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Arizonar -- "Our sold-out Feb. 19 concert, featuring Beethoven's 9^th Symphony, under Maestro Dmitry Polyakov's baton, was a tremendous success," says Joy Partridge, Executive Director of the Scottsdale Philharmonic. "With his leadership, our orchestra united with a full choir and four talented soloists to create an amazing and exciting experience for our audience. From the podium, Maestro Polyakov created musical magic! It was one of the best concerts in our symphony history and we owe a special thanks to our Maestro. For those of us in the audience, it was an unforgettable musical experience and resulted in an enthusiastic standing ovation, with three curtain calls.

"We are so lucky and privileged to have Maestro Polyakov as our full-time principal conductor and he is helping us build a first-class symphony orchestra as we continue to perform unforgettable concerts," says Partridge. "With his musical gifts and talent, we can see how our symphony has improved immeasurably since he joined us last year."
