ABOUT US
The New York Symphonic Arts Ensemble (NYSAE) was founded in 1988 by a group of musicians in order to present to the public interesting orchestral music played at the highest level by a volunteer organization. For more than 20 years, the orchestra has played a series of five concerts per season. The repertoire has spanned a wide range of the orchestral and operatic literature, including many works not ordinarily attempted by community orchestras. In addition to the standard symphonic repertoire, our concerts have featured lesser known works and contemporary compositions. Our soloists range from internationally known musicians to promising students from the local conservatories. The orchestra comprises people who come from the greater metropolitan area to share their great love of music.
Music Director
Timothy Hutto was named music director of the New York Symphonic Arts Ensemble in the spring of 2007. He made his New York conducting debut with NYSAE in 2000 and subsequently appeared annually as a guest conductor leading works by a diverse group of composers: Mozart, Haydn, Handel, Kalinnikov, Delius, Warlock, Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Franck, Bizet, Fauré, and Ravel, as well as the American composers Chadwick, Ives, Hanson, Copland, Gershwin, Gould, Barber, and Grofe. During the summer of 2007, he made his New York musical theater debut conducting the New York premiere of the Puppetry Arts Theatre production of In a Round About Way. In 2000, he was a fellow at the Conductors Institute at Bard College, where his teachers included Harold Farberman and Leon Botstein.
Other conducting experiences include fully staged productions of Don Giovanni, The Pirates of Penzance, Assassins, and A Chorus Line, as well as excerpts from Carmen, Der Schauspieldirektor, Die Lustige Witwe (The Merry Widow) and La Bohème. From 1996-97, he was music director of the Huntsville Texas Youth Orchestra. Before this time, he conducted educational ensembles for twelve years. Raised and educated in Texas, Mr. Hutto holds degrees from Stephen F. Austin State University, the University of North Texas, and Sam Houston State University.
