Santa Barbara Junior Orchestra

& Youth Symphony 2015-2016

Welcome to the Santa Barbara Junior Orchestra!

Hello, Friends! This year is off to an exciting start! The inclusion of woodwinds and brass increases our numbers and the amount of sound produced by this ensemble. For our first-timers, the experience of the first few rehearsals can be overwhelming, returning students take it all in stride. The reward for me is my observation of these students. I see the respect and value they have for each other, their show of commitment to the music and the rehearsals,and the determination in their eyes to meet their musical challenge. Support of our musical community is strengthened by how they relate to each other. These values are a strong reflection of who they are and who they represent: you, the parents and guardians. With your continued support and guidance, they become solid in who they are. Thank you for all of your support and trust as my colleagues and I share with your children our love for what we do. This is going to be a grand year!

Bienvenido a la Santa Barbara Orquesta Juvenil!

Hola amigos! Este año ha empezado muy emocionante! La inclusión de instrumentos de viento y metal aumenta nuestros números de participación y la cantidad de sonido que este formación produce. Para nuestros nuevos estudiantes, la experiencia de los primeros ensayos puede ser abrumadora. Para los estudiantes que regresan, lo toman todo con calma. El premio para mi es mi observación de estos estudiantes. Veo el respeto y el valor que tienen el uno al otro. Su espectáculo de compromiso con la música y los ensayos. La determinación en sus ojos para cumplir su reto musical. Por último, nuestra comunidad musical se ve reforzada por la forma en que se relacionan y sostienen mutuamente. Estos valores son una fuerte reflexión de lo que son y que representan: ustedes, los padres y tutores. Con su apoyo, se ponen fuerte. Gracias por todo su apoyo y confiar en mis colegas y yo. Compartimos el amor por lo que hacemos con sus hijos. Esta va ser un gran año!

About Marisa McLeod Marisa McLeod, a native of Newark, New Jersey, began her studies of the violin at the age of 3. She received her bachelor of music degree at Montclair State University, and her master of music degree from the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music. She studied the Suzuki method and received her Suzuki certification from the Eastman School under Anastasia Jempelis. She has continued her Suzuki studies with Cathryn Lee, Edmund Sprunger, Sherry Cadow, Martha Shackford, and Mark Bjork. She was a member of the Anderson String Quartet for 10 years. She has studied the art of string quartet playing with the Cleveland Quartet with Peter Salaff as her private teacher, Juilliard String Quartet, American String Quartet, and Le Quatuor de Deux Monde, in Fontaineblau, France. They were artists in residence and members of the music faculty at California State University, Los Angeles.

She relishes the interdependence between art, the artist, and the audience. And as a teacher and coach, she finds herself in the enviable position of being able to pass on to others the how-to of creating this loving relationship.

Welcome to the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony!

Welcome to our concert!

I’m constantly amazed by the accomplishments of the SBYS musicians. These players come together in rehearsal, and in the course of about nine rehearsals, produce the concert you’re hearing today. Most of them are performing these pieces for the first time, and many of them are still in only the first or second year of their orchestral experience. The art of reading music on the page and turning it into a polished musical performance is difficult, and admirable. The truth is that all musicians who read and perform music, are doing so using a “second language.” We musicians must learn to interpret the written language of music, while perfecting the techniques of our instruments. I hope that the beautiful music performed today will satisfy you. I’m sure that our musicians and their musical abilities will inspire you.

After today’s concert, the SBYS musicians will turn their attention to our final concert on May 22. The 4pm concert at the Lobero Theatre will feature our musicians playing a vast range of music. SBYS members Lorenz Chen and Moonman Whitehead will be the featured soloists, and all of our fine musicians will be featured. We will honor our seniors, many of whom have played in the orchestra for three or more years.

Previous to that concert, on March 5 at 4pm, members of SBYS will join many wonderful young musicians to present the Annual Community Concert. Members of the Junior Orchestra, the Santa Barbara Symphony String Workshop, iCAN, and musicians from many Santa Barbara schools will perform in at the open space behind the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. The Museum education staff will provide activities for the entire family. Each year more than 200 musicians perform together in this concert, which is presented with the goal of providing a unique performance opportunity for musicians and audience members alike.

Thank you for sharing your day, and our music! Andy Radford, Santa Barbara Youth Symphony Music Director

Bienvenidos a la Santa Bárbara Sinfónica Juvenil!

Bienvenidos a nuestro concierto! Estoy constantemente sorprendido por los logros de los músicos de SBYS. Estos músicos vienen juntos en el curso de 9 ensayos, produciendo el concierto de hoy. Muchos de ellos están tocando estas piezas de música por primera vez y muchos de ellos todavía están en el primer o segundo año de sus experiencias con la orquesta.

El arte de la lectura musical para convertirlo en una presentación musical es difícil y admirable. La verdad es que todos los músicos que leen y tocan música están usando una segunda lengua. Nosotros los músicos tenemos que leer para interpretar la lengua escrita de la música, mientras simultáneamente las técnicas se perfeccionan de nuestros instrumentos.

Espero que les guste la música hermosa de hoy. Estoy seguro de que nuestros músicos y sus habilidades musicales le inspirara.

Después del concierto de hoy, los SBYS músicos darán su atención a nuestro final concertó el 22 de Mayo. El concertó de las 4pm en Lobero Theatre contara nuestros músicos tocando música. Miembros SBYS Lorenz Chen y Moonman Whitehead seran los solistas principales, y todos nuestros músicos esteran participando. Vamos a honorar a nuestros seniors, muchos de los cuales han tocado en la orquesta por tres o más años.

El 5 de Marzo a las 4pm, miembros del SBYS se unirán a muchos maravillosos músicos jóvenes para presentar el concertó anual de la comunidad. Miembros de la orquesta juvenil, taller de instrumentos de cuerda, iCan, y músicos de muchas escuelas de Santa Barbara, esteran participando en el concierto en el espacio abierto atrás del Museo de Arte de Santa Barbara. El personal de la educación del museo proporcionara actividades para la familia entera. Cada año más de 200 músicos tocan juntos en este concierto presentando con la meta de proveer una única ejecución y oportunidad para los músicos y la audiencia.

Gracias por compartir su día, y nuestra música. Andy Radford, Director Musical, Santa Bárbara Sinfónica Juvenil
