Hamlisch staying with Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH

Award-winning composer Marvin Hamlisch has extended his contract as principal pops conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra through the 2014-15 season.

Hamlisch was under contract through the end of the 2011-12 season, his 17th in Pittsburgh, when the deal was announced Tuesday.

Terms weren’t disclosed, though tax forms on the symphony’s website show Hamlisch earned $554,228 during the 2009-2010 season. Hamlisch holds the same position with symphony orchestras in Dallas, Milwaukee, Seattle, San Diego and Pasadena, Calif.

Hamlisch has won three Academy Awards, four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony and three Golden Globes for composing and a Pulitzer Prize for the Broadway musical “A Chorus Line.”

The 67-year-old conductor says “Pittsburgh is my second home and, the more I come back, I feel like it’s my first home.”
