s you will see in this issue of Score magazine, Spring is an exciting time of year for the Paducah Symphony Orchestra! In March, we announced our 2015-2016 Season, which officially kicked-off our season ticket renewal campaign (that’s a

hint if you are a season ticket holder, to make sure you renew your seats soon!). Even though I am looking forward to next season, there is so much excitement still happening in April, May, and June. The Paducah Symphony Orchestra and Chorus is pleased to have three fantastic vocal soloists, and the Concert Choirs of Murray State University and Southern Illinois University join them for Carl Orff ’s powerful Carmina Burana on April 18. According to my sources, this is the first time the SIU Concert Choir has sung with the PSO. Our cover story for the month features American Idol finalist and rising pop star Jason Castro, who will guest perform and judge at the fourth annual Symphony Sing-Off at the Carson Center on Thursday, May 14. This is the signature fundraising event for the PSO, and we call on all arts lovers in our community to support the PSO by attending this exciting and fun event. Be sure to catch the Spring Youth Showcase Concert at the Carson Center on Sunday, May 3. This is the last Encore Series Performance of the season, and you will truly be amazed at the talent of our Youth and Children’s Choruses, as well as our Sinfonia Strings and Youth Orchestra. For the third consecutive year, we are again excited to have the PSO perform at the Lower Town Arts & Music Festival. The PSO schedules all of the entertainment for the festival on May 15 & 16. Be sure to check out the music lineup in this issue of Score magazine. If you have a child or grandchild in grades 4-12 (next school year), you will want to be sure to enroll them in our third annual Summer Music Camp to be held at McCracken County High School on June 22-26. As you will read on page 39, we have made some exciting new changes to the camp, which include a stellar faculty and the addition of a fiddle exploration class. The arts are vital to the success of our community, and I encourage you all to immerse yourself in all that the Paducah Symphony Orchestra has to offer. Thank you so much for your continued support.

See you in the audience!

HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS (1887-1959)Sinfonietta No.1, B-flat major, A115 (A memória de Mozart) Heitor Villa-Lobos was a Brazilian composer from Rio de Janeiro. He was born on March 5, 1887, and began learning music and how to play instruments at a very young age. He developed his interest in music from his father, who was a librarian and amateur musician. At the age of six, Villa-Lobos had learned to play the cello, which was actually just a modified viola. His aunt brought him a piece of music, composed by Johann Sebastian Bach that inspired Villa-Lobos to

continue on a musical career path. He later also learned how to play the guitar. By the age of eighteen, however, Villa-Lobos left home, because his widowed mother opposed his “delinquent” friends and wanted him to be a doctor instead of a musician. In 1916, Heitor Villa-Lobos composed Sinfonietta No. 1. He dedicated it to the memory of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The dedication was a fitting choice, since all three movements of his composition were based off of two themes composed by Mozart. The first two movements premiered in 1922, in Sao Paulo, with the orchestra of the Sociedade de Concertos Sinfonicos, and then did not fully premiere until 1955 in Vienna. n

CARL ORFF (1895-1982)Carmina Burana (Songs of Beuren)Carl Orff was born on July 10, 1895 in Munich, Germany to a very musically inclined family. Playing music was a regular occurrence in the Orff family home. Heinrich, Orff ’s father, played the piano and a variety of other stringed instruments and his mother, Paula, was a trained pianist. It was mainly Orff ’s mother who recognized his musical talents and encouraged him to play. Carl Orff began taking piano lessons at the age of five, followed by cello lessons only a few years later. He also began attempting to play the organ sometime around the year

of 1909. Later on in his life, Orff took the role of Reichsminister für Musik (or minister of music) for the Nazi regime. He did not enjoy being around people and only wanted to look after himself. Therefore, when his friends would run afoul with the Nazis, he abandoned them and refused to help or bail them out. Carl Orff ’s musical knowledge and desire of social seclusion helped him compose great pieces that are played almost daily even after his death. Carmina Burana is by far Orff ’s most popular composition, so much so that he considered his composing career to have started with this piece. Written between 1935-36 for soloists, choruses and orchestra, the work’s text is derived from poems in a medieval manuscript that seem to have been intended to be sung. The main language is Latin, with a few exceptions which are written in German or Macaronic, a mixture of languages, particularly bilingual puns, using more than one language or dialect within the same conversation, in this case Latin and another vernacular, either German or French. The texts present views of medieval life, including religious practices, social satires and lewd drinking songs. These views divide the composition into three main sections: In Springtime, In the Tavern, and The Court of Love. The popular and recognizable song O Fortuna serves as the work’s prologue and epilogue, and has been used in numerous film scores. The piece premiered on June 8, 1937, in Frankfurt, Germany, with a staging of elaborate costumes and scenery that Orff also fashioned. n

FORTUNE EMPRESS OF THE WORLD1. O FORTUNE

O Fortune,Like the moonYou are changeable,ever waxingand waning.Hateful life,first oppresses,and then soothesas fancy takes it;poverty,and powerit melts them like ice.

Fate - monstrousand empty,you whirling wheel,you are malevolent,well-being is in vainand always fades to nothing,shadowedand veiledyou plague me too;now through the gameI bring my bare backTo your villainy.

Fate is against mein healthand virtue,driven onand weighted down,always enslaved.So at this hourwithout delaypluck the vibrating strings;since Fatestrikes down the strong man,everyone weep with me!

2. I BEMOAN THE WOUNDS OF FORTUNE

I bemoan the wounds of Fortunewith weeping eyes,for the gifts she made meshe perversely takes away.It is written in truth,that she has a fine head of hair,but, when it comes to seizing anopportunity,she is bald.

On Fortune’s throneI used to sit raised up,crowned withthe many-colored flowers of prosperity;though I may have flourishedhappy and blessed,now I fall from the peakdeprived of glory.

The wheel of Fortune turns:I go down, demeaned;another is raised up;far too high upsits the king at the summit –let him fear ruin!for under the axis is writtenQueen Hecuba.

In harp-like tones singsthe sweet nightingale,with many flowersthe joyous meadows are laughing,a flock of birds rises upthrough the pleasant forests,the chorus of maidensalready promises a thousand joys. Ah.

4. THE SUN WARMS EVERYTHING

The sun warms everything,pure and gentle,once again it reveals to the worldApril’s face,the soul of manis urged towards loveand joys are governedby the boy-god.

All this rebirthin spring’s festivityand spring’s powerbids us to rejoice;it shows us paths we know well,and in your springtimeit is true and rightto keep what is yours.

Love me faithfully!See how I am faithful:With all my heartand with all my soul,I am with youEven when I am far away.Whoever loves this muchturns on the wheel.

5. BEHOLD, THE PLEASANT SPRING

Behold the pleasantand longed-forspring brings back joyfulness,violet flowersfill the meadows,the sun brightens everything,sadness is now at an end!Summer returns,now withdrawthe rigors of winter. Ah!

Now meltsand disappearsice, snow, and the rest,winter flees,and nowspring sucks at summer’s breast:A wretched soul is hewho does not liveor lustunder summer’s rule. Ah!

They gloryand rejoice

In taberna quando sumus,non curamus quid sit humus,sed ad ludum properamus,cui semper insudamus.Quid agatur in taberna,ubi nummus est pincerna,hoc est opus ut queratur,sic quid loquar, audiatur.

Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt,quidam indiscrete vivunt.Sed in ludo qui morantur,ex his quidam denudantur,quidam ibi vestiuntur,quidam saccis induuntur.Ibi nullus timet mortem,sed pro Baccho mittunt sortem:

II. IN THE TAVERN11. BURNING INSIDE

Burning insidewith violent anger,bitterlyI speak my heart:Created from matter,of the ashes of the elements,I am like a leafplayed with by the winds.

If it is the wayof the wise manto buildfoundations on stone,

then I am a fool, likea flowing stream,which in its coursenever changes.

I am carried alonglike a ship without a steersman,and in the paths of the airlike a light, hovering bird;chains cannot hold me,keys cannot imprison me,I look for people like meand join the wretches.

The heaviness of my heartseems a burden to me;it is pleasant to jokeand sweeter than honeycomb;whatever Venus commandsis a sweet duty,she never dwellsin a lazy heart.

I travel the broad pathas is the way of youth,I give myself to vice,unmindful of virtue,I am eager for the pleasures of the fleshmore than for salvation,my soul is dead,so I shall look after the flesh.

12. ONCE I LIVED ON LAKES

The roasted swan sings:

Once I lived on lakes,once I looked beautifulwhen I was a swan.

Misery me!Now blackand roasting fiercely!

The servant is turning me on the spit;I am burning fiercely on the pyre;the steward now serves me up.

Misery me! etc.

Now I lie on a plate,and cannot fly anymore,I see bared teeth:

Misery me! etc.

13. I AM THE ABBOT

I am the abbot of Cockaigneand my assembly is one of drinkers,and I wish to be in the order of Decius,1

and whoever searches me out at thetavern in the morning,after Vespers he will leave naked,and thus stripped of his clothes he will callout:

Woe! Woe!what have you done, vilest Fate?The joys of my lifeyou have taken all away!Haha!

14. WHEN WE ARE IN THE TAVERN

When we are in the tavern,we do not think how we will go to dust,but we hurry to gamble,which always makes us sweat,What happens in the tavern,where money is host,you may well ask,and hear what I say.

Some gamble, some drink,some behave loosely.But of those who gamble,some are stripped bare,some win their clothes here,some are dressed in sacks.Here no one fears death,but they throw the dice in the name of Bacchus.

16. DAY, NIGHT, AND EVERYTHING

Day, night, and everythingis against me,the chattering of maidensmakes me weep,and often sigh,and, most of all, scares me.

O friends, you are making fun of me,you do not know what you are saying,spare me, sorrowful as I am,great is my grief,advise me at least,by your honor.

Your beautiful face,makes me weep a thousand times,your heart is of ice.As a cure,I would be revivedby a kiss.

II. COUR D’AMOURS15. AMOR VOLAT UNDIQUE

Amor volat undique,captus est libidine.Iuvenes, iuvenculeconiunguntur merito.Siqua sine socio,caret omni gaudio,tenet noctis infimasub intimocordis in custodia:fit res amarissima.

First of all it is to the wine-merchantthat the libertines drink,one for the prisoners,three for the living,four for all Christians,five for the faithful dead.six for the loose sisters,seven for the footpads in the wood.

Eight for the errant brethren,nine for the dispersed monks,ten for the seamen,eleven for the squabblers,twelve for the penitent,thirteen for the wayfarers.To the Pope as to the kingthey all drink without restraint.

The mistress drinks, the master drinks,the soldier drinks, the priest drinks,the man drinks, the woman drinks,the servant drinks with the maid,the swift man drinks, the lazy man drinks,the white man drinks, the black man drinks,the settled man drinks, the wanderer drinks,the stupid man drinks, the wise man drinks,The poor man drinks, the sick man drinks,the exile drinks, and the stranger,the boy drinks, the old man drinks,the bishop drinks, and the deacon,the sister drinks, the brother drinks,the old lady drinks, the mother drinks,this man drinks, that man drinks,a hundred drink, a thousand drink.

Six hundred pennies would hardlysuffice, if everyonedrinks immoderately and immeasurably.However much they cheerfully drinkwe are the ones whom everyone scolds,and thus we are destitute.May those who slander us be cursedand may their names not be written in the book of the righteous.

Io, io, io!

III. THE COURT OF LOVE15. CUPID FLIES EVERYWHERE

Cupid flies everywhereseized by desire.Young men and womenare rightly coupled.The girl without a lovermisses out on all pleasures,she keeps the dark nighthiddenin the depth of her heart;it is a most bitter fate.

ince becoming a worldwide musical sensation in 2008, as a finalist on American Idol, Texas native Jason Castro has literally

been all over the world. On May 14, he will place another pin on his international road map where Paducah is located. Castro is making his way to Kentucky in order to perform and participate as a celebrity judge at the Fourth Annual Symphony Sing-Off event, a gala fundraiser which benefits the Paducah Symphony Orchestra’s education programs. It’s appropriate that Castro be part of this celebration of a cappella, a style of music cherished for its rich vocal tones and creative noise making effects. He will perform songs from his newest album, Only

a Mountain. Much like Castro has charmed American audiences with his stripped-down adaptations of popular songs such as “Over the Rainbow” and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, his performance, coupled with that of this year’s Symphony Sing-Off performances, will wow audiences with rich vocal sounds that emerge and reach deep into the listener’s soul. A cappella groups from around the region will take center stage at the Carson Center on Thursday, May 14, to perform in this year’s competition. Vocalists will compete in one of three divisions: high school, collegiate or an open division. Winners will be chosen based on monetary votes placed by audience members. Castro and other celebrity judges will provide critical feedback to the

contestants after each group performance. At the conclusion of the event, winning performers will receive cash prizes. Audiences will be amazed at the ability of each performer to sing, and to reproduce the rhythm of a drum kit or other instrumental backing, using only their vocal chords as instruments. A cappella is a form of music that requires great musical ability and provides no safety net for those performing it. When an a cappella performer makes a mistake there are no backing tracks or piano accompaniments to mask the error. That means that an a cappella performer must be at the top of his game in order to wow audiences. While the Symphony Sing-Off is certainly a competition among vocalists, it’s

all done in good fun, says PSO’s Executive Director Daniel Sene. “Supporting the performers at this event is just another way to support the Paducah Symphony Orchestra,” Sene says. “What makes Paducah such a great city are the fantastic performing arts groups that exist here.” Symphony Sing-Off Committee Chairperson Mickey Brown spent 13 years immersed in the arts and culture of Chicago before moving to Paducah with husband Bill Brown. Last year, Mickey attended the Symphony Sing-Off for the first time and walked away impressed by the talent that was displayed there at every age level. “I was glad to see so many high school and collegiate a cappella groups at last year’s

competition,” Mickey says. “There are so many talented people in this community and the Symphony Sing-Off event is the perfect opportunity to see that showcased.” PSO always brings something a little more exciting to the event than the year before. The 2015 event promises to be no exception. In addition to being held at a new location, this year’s Symphony Sing-Off will also include an additional gem, a wine raffle. At an appointed time during the evening, audience members will be called upon to produce a twenty-dollar bill. Those who participate will receive one of the many wine bags, which will line the stage during the raffle. As participants open their bags they will each find one delectable bottle of wine. A couple of lucky individuals will receive a bag containing a bottle of wine valued at as much as $500. The more bottles purchased, the greater the chance to win one of these extraordinary fine wines. The Symphony Sing-Off helps to provide financial support to the many programs, which PSO presents throughout the year, including musical education and student performance groups, as well as a season of concerts performed under the musical direction of a world-renowned maestro. The show starts at 7:30 p.m., however this year’s event also includes a VIP pre-show dinner hosted at 6:00 p.m. on the Carson Center’s Main Stage. Tickets to the dinner, which includes priority seating for the performance, are $100. Show-only reserved seating tickets are $35, and can be purchased at www.paducahsymphony.org or 270.444.0065. n

hose attending the 2015 Lower Town Arts and Music Festival (LTAMF) May 15th and 16th will sample as many

types of music from the festival stages as they will foods from the Taste of Paducah restaurant booths.

Paducah Symphony Orchestra (PSO) Marketing Manager Craig Felker is coordinating the event’s musical lineup, and he says the featured bands and musicians swing in genre from Americana to pop to rock-a-billy blues. As a major force in the local music scene, the PSO has had the

privilege of arranging music for the festival for the past six years. As the region’s only professional orchestra, Felker says the PSO is the perfect choice for the job, especially because of its Downtown location. “It’s just a great partnership for us to be

able to work with our neighbors … and to try to continue to be a presence in all things musical for the region,” he says. Paducah has held arts festivals for years—even decades—according to local artists and LTAMF board members Michael and Victoria Terra. The Terras own Terra Cottage Ceramics in Paducah and have helped organize the event’s most recent incarnation since the Lower Town Neighborhood Association took responsibility for it six years ago. They say the festival keeps its focus exclusively regional, drawing musical talent from within a 350-mile radius around Paducah. It also pulls in artists from the same area who showcase their wares in long lines of booths stretching throughout the Lower Town neighborhood. Michael Terra says more than 16,000 people attend each year, giving the city a nice economic boost. In addition to the vendors, artists, and musicians, the festival includes The Taste of Paducah (which allows attendees to sample food from local restaurants), fireworks, a light parade, performances from the Paducah Improv troupe, artistic demonstrations, performances from River City Poetry and more. “I like to say that this festival is Paducah’s love letter to itself,” Victoria Terra says. “It is extremely important to me that people feel really good about where they live, and this is a great opportunity for people to come out and see all the wonderful things that are

right here in their local Paducah and up to a day’s drive away.” In 2015, this love letter will boast high-quality headlining acts such as indie rock group The Features on Friday and rockabilly veterans The Legendary Shack Shakers on Saturday. When Craig Felker talks about the lineup over the phone, you can practically hear him smile. He says these acts have very accomplished careers. The Features even performed the song “From Now On” on the “Breaking Dawn: Part 1” soundtrack. “They’re a fantastic band out of Nashville,” he says, adding, “I think people are going to be really excited about them. … [Their music] has this pop sensibility to it but also really indie rock.” In addition to The Features, Friday’s schedule includes Gideon’s Rifle, Suspicious River, Chris Black, Savage Radley, Lew Jetton, Nick Dittmeier, Darkestra, Bear Medicine, SIMO and Leonard the Band. On Saturday, the festival’s two stages will feature acts throughout the day. Bands such as The Wheelhouse Rousters, Loot Rock Gang and Big Atomic will perform along with artists like Kelsey Waldon, Daniel Morrow and Jessica Wilkes. Felker says several of these musicians have received noteworthy recognition. Kelsey Waldon, for instance, was recently dubbed “New Artist You Need to Know” by Rolling Stone Magazine.

The Paducah Symphony Orchestra will also perform Saturday. The orchestra will be playing a set of popular symphonic music from John Williams’ “Star Wars” theme to marches from John Philip Sousa and everything in between. Felker says the PSO’s performance at the festival is one of its only free performances each year. “It’s a very unique performance for us,” he says. “It’s a great opportunity for people to be exposed to and get a glimpse of what our symphony is like.” The Legendary Shack Shakers will then end the festival with a set of rockabilly music performed with what Felker describes as a “charismatic” style. The Shack Shakers are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year and frontman J.D. Wilkes is a Paducah resident. Jessica Wilkes, J.D.’s wife and frequent collaborator will open for the band. “They are just a fantastic band. In the rock[abilly] world, they’re at the top of the game,” says Felker. After the Shack Shakers bring the festival to its official close, attendees who still have the urge to dance can head to Maiden Alley for an after party. The event benefits the cinema and PSO and features both Jessica Wilkes and The Legendary Shack Shakers in a more intimate setting. Seth Murphy, stage manager and artist coordinator for the music and arts festival, says the party will showcase a new side to these acts. “It will be really interesting to see them

aducah Symphony Orchestra’s Executive Director Daniel Sene’s enthusiasm is contagious. With a new schedule released

for the 2015-2016 season and a musical selection of crowd favorites and soon-to-be new favorites waiting to illuminate the Carson Center stage, it’s easy to understand

his excitement. The roster includes famous works like Johannes Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2 and Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, as well as works by Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Richard Wagner. “There’s something in every single program that our audiences will identify with,” Sene explains. “It’s a season of really large symphonies, and pretty well known symphonies. They will recognize something from every single program throughout the

By Caitlin Chesteryear.” First up on September 12 is Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2, featuring pianist Fabio Bidini. Sene is confident in the concert’s success with Bidini on board: “Any concerto, he can play.” As an added bonus, Bidini has agreed to perform a solo piano recital on the day after the concert as part of the PSO’s encore series performances. October 3, the PSO will bring Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony to the Carson

Center stage. Sene says this piece represents the artist’s life in a beautiful way, fading out gradually instead of ending with the fanfare his life deserved. Also, he explains, “For the first time ever, our Young Artist Competition winner who will be performing, cellist Wesley Skinner is a Paducah native.” November 7 brings Gustav Mahler’s 1st Symphony. The Titan, as the name suggests, is a huge work according to Sene. The symphony “is very captivating and pulls you

into the entire piece,” he says. The concert also feature’s Claude Debussy’s Nocturnes, which calls for 16 female voices as a wordless “texture and layer,” Sene describes. Like his contemporary Impressionist artists, Debussy uses the voices as art—“very much painting his music,” Sene says. On December 12, audiences will be treated to A Christmas Celebration. “This one will definitely dazzle our audiences,” Sene predicts. The concert is expected to

sell out again this year, making it the sixth consecutive year of success. It will feature the Paducah Symphony Orchestra choruses and the Murray State University concert choir. February 20 will feature Gary Levinson in Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. Levinson is the principal associate concertmaster of the Dallas Symphony, among many other accolades. Sene adds: “Raffaele [Ponti] opens the concert with [Serge Prokofiev’s] Romeo and Juliet. People will recognize this piece of

music.” A lesser known but exciting addition to the concert is Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 5. “His music almost paints a visual,” says Sene. “It’s very complex music, but it’s very easy to listen to.” On March 12, Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition will grace the stage. Arranged by Maurice Ravel, “it is fantastic orchestration,” according to Sene. The concert will open with pieces by Aram Khachaturian and Joseph Haydn, the latter of whose Symphony No. 45 will only showcase the fourth movement. “There’s a little bit of a surprise on why Raffaele did that,” Sene hints. “The trivia is out there for those who are wondering why he would only do the fourth movement; leave that to [the audience] to be surprised.” Rounding out the season on April 16 is Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. “Ode to Joy” is one of the most recognizable pieces to audiences, even if they think they don’t know it, Sene says. “Beethoven’s composing style was to take a melody and rehash it throughout an entire piece, which is what makes his music so recognizable.” Symphony No. 9 was also the first piece the Paducah Symphony Orchestra performed in the Carson Center when it opened. The symphony will feature the MSU concert choir, plus 1-2 other university choruses, according to Sene. “We’re hoping to have 300 plus voices on stage.” To returning patrons of the Paducah Symphony Orchestra, Sene explains they will hear “some of the greatest large works

that they’ve been familiar with for years, performed all in one season. To prospective newcomers considering attending, he urges: “Hearing and experiencing a performance of the Paducah Symphony Orchestra at the Carson Center under the baton of Raffaele Ponti is an extremely memorable experience. It will round out their year with some serious culture that also entertains.” It’s not necessarily that newcomers are all classical music fans, Sene continues, but “it’s

an excitement and an energy that they feel. Raffaele has a way to make folks feel like they’re part of it—you’ll feel like you’re part of the music.” “We’re a great city, and a great community deserves a great orchestra,” Sene concludes. With such talented, dedicated musicians under the direction of Raffaele Ponti, and such an exciting season ahead, Paducah is guaranteed to see how great its symphony really is. n

or the past 20 years the Paducah Symphony

Orchestra has been a part of helping make lifelong memories in the hearts and minds of countless families with the annual Father-Daughter Dance. Always a sell-out event, this year was no different. A record number of attendees enjoyed the catered meal prepared by the wonderful staff of the Country Club of Paducah, a lavish candy buffet sure to keep local dentists in business and DJ Scott Jackson playing a variety of contemporary tunes that kept the dance floor hoppin’. From the moment guests stepped into the

Country Club they were greeted with sprawling displays of floral arrangements, balloons and elaborate pink and yellow decorations. The young ladies couldn’t stop talking about the beauty and transformation of the space. Many hours of preparation go into this annual PSO fundraising event, and a big THANK YOU is owed to this year’s Father-Daughter Dance Committee. Due to their hard work, the

PSO was able to raise over $15,000 -- the highest amount ever collected in the storied history of the event. Be sure to stay tuned for news about next year’s annual Father-Daughter dance. n

How did you first get interested in performing music? The cello captivated my attention while attending a youth orchestra concert. By the next day I had my sister’s violin, playing it held between my knees, and had convinced my parents we were to go rent a cello. What is your favorite piece of music to play? As string players, we are daily mindful of the debt we owe to Bach for his solo suites, partitas and sonatas. These works are living, life-long pursuits as their interpretations are unending. Also string players, we are privileged to have a wealth of literature that frequently encompasses a composer’s best ideas through the medium of a string quartet. The late quartets of Beethoven are regarded as perhaps the summit of all instrumental music. There are many gems tucked away throughout Haydn’s quartets for example, which undoubtedly influenced Beethoven’s beginnings as a composer. Finally, as orchestral musicians, we all acknowledge the greatness of the four symphonies by Brahms. These works were founded and perfected through his intensely laborious discretion and reflect his own genius to continuously develop thematic material and masterfully orchestrate. So, to avoid actually answering this question, I’d have to start with the

famous three “B’s” in seeking out favorite pieces of music. What advice would you give to aspiring musicians? Continue to work with diligence; and get private instruction if possible, depending on one’s own personal aspirations of course. Who is your favorite composer? Why? To continue with the answer to an earlier question, one of the common denominators between Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms is that they all acknowledged the power, grace, and influence of God throughout their lives and compositions. What is your proudest musical moment? It has yet to occur, but will exist throughout eternity to come. However...great musical moments occur everyday. For instance, collaborating here with the

talent of the PSO frequently produces valuable moments which demonstrate why the live performance is an art worth working for. Three things you would want with you on a deserted island? In sincere light-heartedness, without knowing more specifics, allow me to pass on this scenario to speculate about a hypothetical situation that I would hope to prevent from becoming a reality. The one word your best friend would say to describe you? Ardent. What was the last music you

listened to in your car? Unless there is a good classical station, I prefer not to become subject to the vast expanse of whatever happens to be floating across the airways; in which case the iPod is a life-saver. Favorite indulgence? Golf. What do you do when you’re not playing with the PSO? Practice daily, teach cello students, and participate with other orchestras around the region. Bonus: Anything else you would like us to know about you? Gratitude is my attitude in response to the great blessings and simple pleasures that The Good Lord freely bestows to us. n

How did you first get interested in per-forming music? I was chosen to play the tambourine out of the entire 4th grade in our school musical. My music teacher said I had an uncanny sense of rhythm. What is your favorite piece of music to play? I play in an all female percussion trio called Caixa. Any chamber works with that group are equal favorites to perform. What advice would you give to aspiring musicians? Show up and be nice to people. It’s not all about how you play. Who is your favorite composer? Why? John Luther Adams, for the genre in which I think this question is intended. In his music, I can almost see the vast open

spaces in which he lives and feel the solitude of the Alaskan tundra surrounding him. For all other genres, Brazilian born Caetano Veloso. Because he is just the best. What is your proudest musical moment? Performing in the Caixa Trio for 10,000 fans at the Festival of Drums in Seoul, Ko-rea. We were performing outside in front of this ancient temple and suddenly fire start-ing shooting out of the stage. No one told us about the pyrotechnics in advance and somehow we managed to keep on playing. I was pretty proud of us and it all happened in

front of a huge crowd. Three things you would want with you on a deserted island? My husband, my cats, and a HUGE tube of chapstick. The one word your best friend would say to describe you? Relentless. What was the last music you listened to in your car? Coldplay. Favorite indulgence? International travel. n

How did you first get interested in per-forming music? Growing up, I enjoyed singing in our church choir and playing clarinet in the school bands. What is your favorite piece of music to play? It’s difficult to choose one! I especially enjoy playing chamber music, when I have a chance to interact with other musicians. What advice would you give to aspiring musicians?

Use your practice time wisely—when you don’t feel like practicing, remember your long-term musical goals. “If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” Who is your favorite composer? Why? Mozart. His music has everything—drama, beauty, simplicity, complexity—and it’s always challenging! What is your proudest musical moment? Recording my first CD with Gateway Chamber Orchestra. Three things you would want with you on a deserted island? A boat, a house, and something to trans-port all the things I need and want between the two! The one word your best friend would say to describe you? I’m afraid to ask. Crazy?! What was the last music you listened to in your car? Popular cumbias from Colombia. Favorite indulgence? Reading What do you do when you’re not playing with the PSO? I teach double reeds at Austin Peay State University and play oboe with Gateway Chamber Orchestra in Clarksville, Tennessee. Bonus: Anything else you would like us to know about you? I love to learn foreign languages and travel. n

How did you first get interested in perform-ing music? After piano lessons and learning to play the trombone, I began to seek out opportunities to perform while still in high school. These gigs were mostly jazz and orchestral – I was the prin-cipal trombone in the DC Youth Symphony. What is your favorite piece of music to play? I really enjoy Scherezade (Rimsky-Korsakov) and William Tell (Rossini) which are my favor-ite works in our current season with the PSO. What advice would you give to aspiring musicians? Diligent practice is essential to attaining a high level of mastery on any instrument, but in addition one must develop a passion for perfor-mance as well. Who is your favorite composer? Why? Igor Stravinsky, because he has unleashed

the power of the orchestra in a way heretofore unseen (or unheard). What is your proudest musical moment? Too many to isolate just one, but probably playing Dvorak’s New World this past season ranks right up there with some of my favorites. Three things you would want with you on a deserted island? My trombone, my dogs and my woman. The one word your best friend would say to describe you? Funny. What was the last music you listened to

your car? The Band: Greatest Hits. Favorite indulgence? An ice cream sundae. What do you do when you’re not playing with the PSO? I am a professor in the music department at Southeast MO State University in Cape Girardeau. This is my day job, lol. Bonus: Anything else you would like us to know about you? I shot a 73 this summer from the white tees at my home course. n
