My Irish Valentine

Associate Conductor Gerald Steichen (left) with guest artist Michael Zegarski

A wonderfully romantic musical time was had by all last weekend at the New Haven Symphony Pops My Irish Valentine at East Haven High School, Hamden Middle School and Shelton Intermediate School. Soloist Michael Zegarski wowed the crowd with romantic standards such as Delovely and Some Enchanted Evening while conductor Jerry Steichen led the orchestra in beautiful favorites including the Suite from Titanic and Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy.

Here’s what one of our patrons had to say: “My Irish Valentine concert was GREAT!  As are all of Gerald Steichen’s concerts. The orchestra is great.  Gerald Steichen is my very favorite conductor.  Please be sure he is coming back in the fall. There was no mention of the next season fall 2010-2011 but please let those in power know that we want Jerry back. We have been coming to the NHSO for many many years and have learned so much from Gerald Steichen.  We love him dearly.  He is the best conductor!”

Once again we would like to thank all of our patrons for coming out and our sponsors, Whitney Center, Tweed New Haven Regional Airport, Town Fair Tire, R.D. Scinto, Newtown Savings Bank and Saint Raphael Healthcare System for making our performances possible.
