Leone Buyse flute Ann Hobson Pilot harp ANN HOBSON PILOT, the legendary former Principal Harpist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO), retired in 2009 after 40 years. Ms. Pilot has had an extensive solo career performing as soloist with orchestras in the US as well as Europe, Haiti, New Zealand, and South Africa, where she traveled in 1997 to record a video documentary, “Ann Hobson Pilot, A Musical Journey” which aired nationwide on PBS for three years.
After the 2009 Tanglewood concerts and her official retirement, Pilot returned to the stage as soloist with the BSO opening the Boston Symphony season and the Carnegie Hall season with the world premiere of a concerto written for her by John Williams, “On Willows and Birches”.
The recipient of an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Tufts University in 2010, she has received numerous awards including the Distinguished Alumni Awards from the Cleveland Institute of Music and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Boston Musicians Association and from the Talent Development League of the Atlanta Symphony.
Her new video documentary—“A Harpist’s Legacy -‐ Ann Hobson Pilot and the Sound of Change “ -‐ profiles the inspirational life and musical career of a gifted African American woman’s triumph over barriers of race and gender to become an artist and teacher whom many, including John Williams, Yo-‐Yo Ma and James Levine, revere as one of the world’s great harpists. The documentary will air on PBS stations nationwide through 2017.
Ms. Pilot has recorded on the Boston Records label as well as for Koch International, Deutsche Grammophon, New World Records and Denouement Records. Her recording of “On Willows and Birches” with the Boston Symphony was recently released for download on the BSO website. Her new recording of music by the Argentinian composer, Astor Piazzolla for harp, violin and bandoneon will be released in January of 2015 on the Harmonia Mundi label. The violinist is Lucia Lin of the Boston Symphony and the Muir string quartet and J P Jofre, world famous Argentinean bandoneon player.

She has performed with the Boston Symphony Chamber Players throughout Europe and Japan, with the Tokyo, Juilliard, Brentano, and Muir String Quartets, and in recital with Jessye Norman and Yo-‐Yo Ma.
