MARVIN HAMLISCH

Marvin Hamlisch's life in music is notable for its great versatility as well as substance.

As composer, Hamlisch has won virtually every major award that exists: three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony and three Golden Globe awards; his groundbreaking show, A CHORUS LINE, received the Pulitzer Prize.

He is the composer of more than forty motion picture scores including his Oscar-winning score and song for THE WAY WE WERE and his adaptation of Scott Joplin's music for THE STING, for which he received a third Oscar. His prolific output of scores for films include original compositions and/or musical adaptations for SOPHIE'S CHOICE, ORDINARY PEOPLE, THE SWIMMER, THREE MEN AND A BABY, ICE CASTLES, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, BANANAS and SAVE THE TIGER.

Marvin Hamlisch holds the position of Principal Pops Conductor with the National Symphony Orchestra. (This is the first time that anyone has held such a position). He is also the Principal Pops Conductor for the Pittsburgh and San Diego Symphony Orchestras.

Mr. Hamlisch was Musical Director and arranger of Barbra Streisand's 1994 concert tour of the U.S. and England as well as of the television special, "Barbra Streisand: The Concert" (for which he received two of his Emmys). He served in the same capacities for her Millennium concerts.

Hamlisch is a graduate of both Juilliard and Queens College (where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree). He believes in the power of music to bring people together. "Music can make a difference. There is a global nature to music, which has the potential to bring all people together. Music is truly an international language, and I hope to contribute by widening communication as much as I can."

20061210 CCC Gala features Moscow Symphony

December 13th, 2006


Later this evening, I’m looking forward to attending a Gala for the benefit of Carroll Community College featuring the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

Ellie Baublitz penned an excellent piece on this evening’s event the other day in the Baltimore Sun.


Carroll Community College Gala features Moscow Symphony


Orchestra to play holiday concert; members will offer classes

The Russians are coming, and they will be bringing musical instruments.

The Moscow Symphony Orchestra will take the stage Wednesday at Carroll Community College's Scott Center Theater for the CCC Foundation's Partners Campaign Starry Night gala.

"The college is very excited to be bringing this cultural experience here because it is part of the strategic plan to bring cultural offerings to the college for the whole community," said Sylvia Blair, Carroll's community relations coordinator.

Billed as "an elegant, festive event," the fundraiser will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a black tie optional cocktail reception in the Great Hall, then continue with the 40-piece symphony performance at 8 p.m., Blair said.

The performance will feature a 45-minute set of selections from The Nutcracker, an intermission, then a Holiday Pops set, including the "Harry Potter Concert Suite," "Christmas Festival," "Celebrate Christmas," "Sleigh Ride," "Russian Sailors Dance from the Red," "Fantasia on Green Sleeves" and "Phantom of the Opera."
