guest host, David Hyde Pierce

David Hyde Pierce is best known for playing psychiatrist Dr. Niles Crane on the NBC sitcom Frasier, and for his leading role as Lieutenant Frank Cioffi in the 2007 Broadway musical Curtains. He also portrayed Frank Prady in eight episodes of the TV series The Good Wife.

As a child, he was very interested in music (particularly piano) and regularly played the organ at his local church (Bethesda Episcopal Church). David discovered a love of drama in high school and, upon his graduation in 1977, he received the Yaddo Medal which is to honor academic achievement and personal character. However, his love of music was still strong so he decided to study classical piano at Yale University. Unfortunately, he soon grew bored with music history lessons and found

that he wasn’t dedicated enough to practice the required amount of hours to become a successful concert pianist. Instead, he returned to his love of drama and graduated in 1981 with a double major in English and Theatre Arts. He then moved to New York where he worked several menial jobs (including selling ties at Bloomingdales and working as a security guard) while acting in the theater during the late 80s and early 90s. He appeared in small roles in films such as Bright Lights, Big City (1988) before his life and career changed forever when he landed the role of Dr. Niles Crane in the television series Frasier (1993). Throughout the show’s eleven year run (1993-2004), David was nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series each year (he won four times: 1995, 1998-1999 and 2004). Pierce played Kelsey Grammer’s brother twice: on Frasier and again with Kelsey Grammer on The Simpsons: Brother from Another Series in 1997.

Buster Keaton’s “One Week” score by Andrew Earl Simpson

An Official Cucalorus Stage Event

Tuesday November 13, 2018, 7:30 p.m..Wilson Center, Cape Fear Community College

David Hyde Pierce, guest hostSteven Errante, conductor

Ushers are Wilson Center volunteers

The Wilmington Symphony Orchestra logo was created by Wilmington artist Claude Howell in 1973.

Tonight’s performance utilizes the Ruth Funk Orchestra Shell named in Ruth’s memory by a gift from the Alliance for a Regional Concert Hall.

We’ve always enjoyed presenting concerts of music from films, not just because of the richness and variety of the genre but also because of Wilmington’s connection with the film and television industry over the years, plus the ongoing excitement of the Cucalorus Festival.

Tonight, we’re featuring a number of film score medleys that highlight the many styles that film composers have employed, and we’re also

presenting a classic Buster Keaton silent comedy with orchestral accompaniment. Our first venture into film accompaniment was our premiere last February of Julia Walker Jewell’s Dance of the Coin, and we hope the Buster Keaton film will give a taste of the possibilities for performances of film with live orchestra in future Wilmington Symphony seasons.

from the conductor

ConductorSteven Errante has been Conductor of the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra and a member of the UNCW Department of Music faculty since 1986. He is also founding conductor of the Wilmington Symphony Youth Orchestra and

the accompanist for the Girls’ Choir of Wilmington. Dr. Errante has degrees from the University of Michigan and the Juilliard School and has previously taught at the University of Michigan, Northern Michigan University, and the University of Richmond.
