World Famous Conductor, Richard Hayman

Maestro, Richard Hayman, is proud to lead the Florida Classical Orchestra in
its 2007 season.  Established in 2000, this orchestra is the
orchestra of record for
Miami City Ballet, Florida Grand Opera and Ballet Etudes Miami
, all under the
direction of World Famous Conductor, Richard Hayman! Enjoy 6 wonderful
evenings of Classical Symphony music, consisting of 3 performances at
2 different venues. 

Even after more than 50 years, America’s favorite POPS conductor, Richard
Hayman, continues to take on new ventures, entertain sold out audiences
with his brilliant compositions, colorful attire and outstanding guest artists. He
has conducted the Florida Sunshine POPS Orchestra since its inception in 1999. 
He is the principal POPS conductor of the St. Louis and Grand Rapids Symphony
Orchestras, a post he also held with the Detroit and Hartford Symphony
Orchestras, The Calgary Philharmonic and Orchestra London, Canada. 
His original compositions are standards in the repertoire of these ensembles
as well as frequently performed selections by many orchestras and bands
throughout the world. For over thirty years, Richard Hayman served
as the chief arranger for the Boston Pops Orchestra during Arthur Fiedler’s
tenure, providing special arrangements for dozens of their hit albums
and famous singles. Under John Williams’ direction, the orchestra continues
to program his award-winning arrangements and orchestrations. Though more
involved with the symphony orchestra circuit, Richard Hayman served as
musical director and/or master of ceremonies for the tour shows of
many popular entertainers: Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash, Olivia Newton-John,
Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdinck, The Carpenters, The Osmonds, Al Hirt,
Andy Williams and many others.  Richard Hayman and His Orchestra have
recorded 23 albums and 27 hit singles for Mercury Records, for which he
served as musical director for twelve years. Dozens of his original compositions
have been recorded by various artists all over the world. He has also
arranged and conducted recordings for more that fifty stars of the motion
picture, stage, radio and television world, and has also scored Broadway
shows and numerous motion pictures. In 1960, Richard Hayman was honoured
with his own star in Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Other awards have
included a Certificate of Recognition from Cosmopolitan magazine for
Achievement in Bettering Popular Music, the Edison Award for Creative
Achievement in Recorded Arts from the Academy Of Musical Recorded
Arts and Sciences and the National TV Festival and Forum Award.

In November, 2001, right here on the Stage of Florida Atlantic University
Performing Arts Auditorium, Mr. Joe Ferrer, president of Sunset Entertainment
Group, presented Mr. Richard Hayman with a long over-due plaque-
a PLATINUM record, for sales of over 1 million copies of Mr. Hayman's Ruby.
(You can hear a portion of Ruby on this webpage).

musical performance under the direction of the always entertaining,
Mr. Richard Hayman
