FALL CLASSICS CONCERT

October 16th, 2022 • Sunday 4 PM

The Kings Symphony Orchestra presents a celebration of symphonic classics. Featuring the world debut of composer Alan Hanslik’s original work, “Courage to sail”, newly commissioned by the KSO. We are thrilled to be giving voice to this beautiful new work along with music from Joseph Haydn, Tomaso Albinoni, Johann Strauss, & Camille Saint-Saens. More about Alan Hanslik below…

HANFORD HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTATION CENTER 
120 E Grangeville Blvd, Hanford, CA 93230

A move to Los Angeles provided opportunities to play in jazz and experimental performance groups, as well as study with well-known musicians.  But the purchase of a grande piano promoted Alan to let go of drums and start composing.  He has created scores for movies, commercials and video games.

Alan also has a strong technical background and is adept at creating electronic synthesizers.  Together with former NASA co-worker Steven Moniz they formed a duo, Hanslik & Moniz Experiment, producing several unique genre-crossing albums.
