Newly minted maestro Samuel McCoy’s first official turn at the podium happens in June, when he conducts Aaron Copland’s “The Tender Land.”
After more than three years without a singular presence at the podium, Chelsea Opera is singing the praises of their new hire. On January 1, Samuel McCoy became the organization’s Music Director/Principal Conductor. Hailed by co-founders Leonarda Priore and Lynne Hayden-Findlay as “talented and energetic,” McCoy proved his worth several times over in 2013 — when he assistant conducted two world premieres and served as guest conductor for Seymour Barab’s “La Pizza con Funghi.” McCoy makes his official debut in June, when he conducts Aaron Copland’s “The Tender Land.” For information on Chelsea Opera’s Tenth Anniversary season (and much-appreciated opportunities to help the worthy nonprofit), visit chelseaopera.org.
