CapePOPS! 4
The title says it all. Our culminating Pops concert of the season celebrates the genius of the first, last, and only “Piano Man.” Stellar guest artists will join forces with the Orchestra to perform Billy Joel’s greatest hits spanning more than five decades. Classics like “You May Be Right,” “She's Always a Woman,” and “Only the Good Die Young” will have you on your feet and wanting more. Don’t wait too long… this one will sell out fast!
Kevin Fitzgerald, Conductor
In July 2023, Kevin Fitzgerald won the Special Prize for Best Performance of the Contemporary Piece at The Mahler Competition. He is the first conductor to win this award, a prize sponsored by the Mahler Foundation, which led to him conducting the world premiere of Bernd Richard Deutsch's Con Moto with the Bamberger Symphoniker during the competition's final concert. Kevin was a 2021 Tanglewood Music Center Conducting Fellow and has been awarded Career Assistance Grants by the Solti Foundation U.S. for four consecutive years. He has been Associate Conductor of the Jacksonville Symphony since the 2022-23 season, during which he conducted over 35 performances, including a fully-staged production of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. In 2023-24, Kevin made his subscription debut with the Jacksonville Symphony and pianist Joyce Yang, to lead a recording of Sean Shepherd's Concerto for Ensemble with the University of Chicago's Grossman Ensemble by invitation of the composer, and his debut with the Cape Symphony. Also, Kevin will return to the New York Philharmonic as a cover conductor for three programs, in addition to assisting Stéphane Denève at the St. Louis Symphony.
