Scottsdale, AZ, March 20, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– The Scottsdale Philharmonic has announced the musical program for its next concert on May 7, 4-6 p.m., at the Scottsdale Center for Performing Arts, 7380 East Second St.
Led by Principal Conductor Maestro Dmitry Polyakov, the May 7 concert will feature a special tribute to Louis Armstrong, with soloist Dan Reed. The concert will also feature a masterpiece of Russian music, Anton Arensky’s “Symphony No. 1 in B minor.”
Maestro Dmitry Polyakov represents the modern landscape of classical music with a personality that embodies the great Russian musical traditions of the Moscow Conservatory. “Our audience will enjoy his artistic interpretation of Anton Arensky’s ‘Symphony No. 1’ classical masterpiece,” says Joy Partridge, Executive Director of the Scottsdale Philharmonic.
Louis Daniel Armstrong (Aug. 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971), nicknamed “Satchmo,” “Satch,” and “Pops,” was an American trumpeter and vocalist. He was among the most influential figures in jazz. His career spanned five decades and several eras in the history of jazz. Armstrong received numerous accolades including the Grammy Award for Best Male Vocal Performance for Hello, Dolly! in 1965, as well as a posthumous win for the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1972, and the induction into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2017.
Soloist Dan Reed was born and raised in St. Louis and started studying trumpet at age nine. While in high school, he played one night at Preservation Hall in New Orleans and met Al Hirt (American trumpeter). Reed fell in love with traditional jazz and graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Music Performance. He moved to Arizona in January 2011 and is the featured musician in many bands. He is currently the band director for a private Christian school in AZ.
“Our audience is going to love this special tribute to Louis Armstrong as well as the other wonderful musical selections we have prepared,” says Partridge.
“The vision of the Scottsdale Philharmonic becoming a major symphony in Arizona is just beginning,” Partridge explains. “We welcome anyone who might want to join us in sharing our new vision of a first-class symphony in Scottsdale. We also invite anyone who would like to be part of our Scottsdale Philharmonic Advocacy Alliance, whose members are passionate about classical music.” For more information, contact Joy@scottsdalephilharmonic.com.

Bohemia, NY, September 17, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Music, Science, and Storytelling Unite to Reboot Human Connection
New Anthem “15th to 50th” Reminds Us We’re All Cousins—And Why That Perspective Could Change Everything
What if the person standing next to you wasn’t a stranger, but family? Educator and media innovator Dr. Bernie Furshpan believes it’s not just poetic, it’s a scientific fact. His new movement, 15th to 50th, launches with a powerful music video anthem reminding us that nearly everyone alive today is related within just 15 to 50 generations.
The timing couldn’t be more urgent. “The world has gone mad,” says Dr. Furshpan. “We are more divided than ever, and it’s time to swing the pendulum the other way. When people understand that the air we breathe contains molecules from millions of years ago, and that the atoms in our DNA are as old as the universe itself, it changes how we see each other. We stop looking for enemies and start seeing cousins.”
The anthem, released free to the public, blends the science of genetics with the storytelling power of music. It pulls audiences down a rabbit hole—one where the further you go, the clearer it becomes that the divisions we cling to are illusions. At our core, humanity is a massive extended family.
Dr. Furshpan, already known for his groundbreaking Holocaust education work and the acclaimed documentary The Weight of Memory: I Am Bernie Furshpan, says the project is meant to recalibrate our worldview. “This song is more than a melody. It’s a rallying cry for empathy, for tolerance, for kinship. We’ve tried hatred, separation, and fear. It hasn’t worked. Let’s remind ourselves who we truly are – family.”
The project will expand into schools, corporate workshops, and live events. Merchandise, educational kits, and speaking engagements will sustain the initiative, but the video and message remain free for the world.
