with World Famous POPS Conductor, Richard Hayman

Even after more than 50 years, America’s favorite POPS conductor, Richard Hayman, continues to entertain sold out audiences with his brilliant compositions, colorful attire and outstanding guest artists. 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.
