John Morris Russell was named Music Direc-tor and Principal Conductor of the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra in March, 2012. He begins his tenure with the opening of the Symphony’s 2012-2013 Season. Russell has won interna-tional praise for his extraordinary music-mak-ing and farsighted leadership, and is considered one of North America's leaders in orchestral educational programming. He was appointed Conductor of the Cincinnati Pops in 2011, one of the most respected pops orchestras in the United States. For the past 11 years Mr. Russell has served as Music Director of the Windsor (Ontario, Canada) Symphony Orchestra where he is credited for “having fostered a decade of unprecedented artistic growth”. No stranger to the area, he has also served as associate con-ductor of the Savannah Symphony Orchestra where he met and married his wife, Thea.
As the Principal Guest Conductor in our 2011-2012 Season, Maestro Russell brought renewed excitement to musicians and audi-ences alike. His musical interpretation and direction was highly praised by the musi-cians and brought standing ovations from audiences. An engaging personality, he en-tertains listeners with his vast knowledge of music from symphony to jazz. He gener-ates an enthusiasm that is both appealing and engaging and reaches out to all ages of the community.
The HHSO is fast becoming one of the Southeast’s pre-eminent orchestras, and with the addition of John Morris Russell, it hopes to enhance Hilton Head Island as a center of art and culture and be a role model for musical education.
