SHEENA EASTON Sheena Easton, whose career has spanned the last 30 years, was born in Bellshill, Scotland, the youngest of six children. Her early musical influences were Motown, Barbra Streisand, rock and 70s soul. Her recording career has included gold and platinum albums in the United States, Europe and Asia. She has received two Grammys, and was the first artist to have top five records on five Billboard’s charts. In addition to her recording success, Easton is a top concert attraction around the world. Easton’s acting credits include a fiveepisode appearance on “Miami Vice,” a costarring role opposite Stacy Keach in a John Carpenter-directed trilogy for Showtime titled “Body Bags,” and as a guest star in the cult syndicated series “The Highlander,” as well as a starring role in UPN’s “Ghost Stories.” Other guest roles have included “The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.” and “TekWar,” as well as a starring role in Showtime’s “Outer Limits.” Easton appeared as a regular on the PAX TV show “Young Blades” which premiered in 2005. During 2004, Easton and Brian McKnight hosted a talk show originating in Las Vegas.
16
On Broadway, Easton starred as Aldonza/ Dulcinea in “Man of La Mancha” opposite the late Raul Julia’s Don Quixote. Throughout its year-long run, the play remained one of the top five grossing hits at the box office. She also starred on Broadway in the hit musical “Grease” as Rizzo. Animation has been a very enjoyable part of Easton’s career — she has appeared in the Warner Bros feature “All Dogs Go to Heaven” as the voice of Sasha, the Irish setter. Easton’s leading man – make that dog – was Charlie Sheen. She then reprised her role in the series of “All Dogs Go to Heaven,” as well as lending her voice to the “Road Rovers” series for Warner Bros. In addition, she can be heard in several recurring roles in the Disney hit series “Gargoyles.” Easton has been busy with frequent appearances in Las Vegas where she has been a major attraction for the last decade, and was recently inducted into the Las Vegas Hall Of Fame.

THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA For more than 117 years, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been an essential part of Pittsburgh’s cultural landscape. The Pittsburgh Symphony, known for its artistic excellence, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. This tradition was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck became music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. With a long and distinguished history of touring both domestically and overseas since 1900, the Pittsburgh Symphony continues to be critically acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest orchestras. With more than 36 international tours, including 20
18 18
European tours, eight trips to the Far East, and two to South America. The Pittsburgh Symphony was the first American orchestra to perform at the Vatican in January 2004 for the late Pope John Paul II, as part of the Pontiff’s Silver Jubilee celebration. The Pittsburgh Symphony has a long and illustrious history in the areas of recordings and radio concerts. As early as 1936, the Pittsburgh Symphony broadcast coastto-coast, receiving increased national attention in 1982 through network radio broadcasts on Public Radio International. The PRI series is produced by Classical WQED-FM 89.3 in Pittsburgh and is made possible by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE
In addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust endowment to assure its long-term financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment to provide for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s future. The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the Pittsburgh Symphony in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra in their will. Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a gift to the endowment of $10,000.00 or more to commemorate a particular person or event. Endowed naming opportunities for guest artists, musicians’ chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for 10 years, 20 years or in perpetuity.

ON SALE NOW! “Anyone who is familiar with the Dvořák G major symphony will find Honeck’s interpretation remarkable…the result is a fresh and exciting version of Dvořák’s eighth symphony that is more romantically realized than Dvořák intended. The Symphonic Suite from “Jenůfa” is a rarely heard work by the Czech master as conceptualized by Honeck. It is beautifully orchestrated, exquisitely played and very evocative of the main themes of the opera.” Henry Schlinger, Culture Spot LA “This is an absolutely marvelous release both in terms of its thrilling performances and wonderful sound quality.” Graham Williams, SA-CD.net This is one of the most gripping performances of Dvořák’s 8th Symphony that I ever heard. Honeck and Pittsburgh excel themselves and definitely team up to one of those great partnerships like Solti and Chicago, Ozawa and Boston, Bernstein and New York, Szell and Cleveland, Tilson-Thomas and San Francisco. — Alain Steffen, Pizzicato
