Key to the HHCA experience is partnering with industry experts and leaders so our students can interact with those at the top of their fields. Over the years we have welcomed many world-renowned artists to our school, and with the help of Hilton Head Symphonic Orchestra, we were honored to welcome Pianist Aaron Diehl to campus in March. After a performance in the Performing Arts Center, Diehl spent dedicated time with students for a meet & greet they won't soon forget.
Aaron Diehl has been a soloist with:
New York Philharmonic
Los Angeles Philharmonic
San Francisco Symphony
Cleveland Orchestra
He has worked with conductors like Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Marin Alsop, & Alan Gilbert. In 2023, Diehl was named Artistic Director of 92NY’s Jazz in July Festival, succeeding the legendary Bill Charlap. His visit to HHCA came just prior to a sold out performance for the LA Philharmonic.
His visit was a rare opportunity for our students and we are grateful to have been able to offer this experience.
