Please join us for an evening of Classical Pop by Scott and Sean Holshouser in honor of Gene Holshouser's 90th birthday
Scott grew up in Athens and played at the Hole in the
Wall (now the Last Resort Grill) with local greats like Reggie
Whitehead and others of that era. He graduated from Athens High School (now Clarke Central) in 1971.
Scott Holshouser has been the orchestra keyboardist for the Houston Symphony since 1980 and is accompanist for the Houston Symphony chorus. A native of Lexington, Kentucky, he began his musical training in Athens, Georgia with Ina Gerchefski. While attending Florida State University he studied with Leonard Mastrogiacomo and continued studies in Houston with Abbey Simon.
With the Houston Symphony he has played over 25 solo performances ranging from Bach and Mozart to Gershwin, and played the Schubert F minor Fantasy for two pianists several times with Christoph Eschenbach in concerts. Holshouser has been a staff pianist for the Houston Opera and Houston Ballet, and currently serves as staff accompanist for the Houston Symphony (Ima Hogg) auditions, and the Corpus Christi,San Angelo, and Kingsville, Texas national music competitions. He is a regular participant in the Grand Teton music festival, playing orchestra and chamber music...
Scott Holshouser has taught piano as an affiliate artist on the faculty of the University of Houston. He met his wife Eileen while accompanying the Houston Symphony Chorus, and they have a son, Sean, who is a great addition to the family.
Sean has performed multiple lead roles in large theater productions in Houston, and sang the national anthem with the Houston Symphony for the July 3 and 4 concerts this year, attended by over 15,000 people.
A suggested $10 donation will go to Sean’s book scholarship as an up-coming freshman, likely at the University of Houston, where he plans to major in Performing Arts.
