Biographies

Norman Huynh Norman Huynh has established himself as a conductor with an ability to captivate an audience through a multitude of musical genres. This season, Huynh continues to showcase his versatility in concerts featuring Itzhak Perlman, hip hop artists Nas and Wyclef Jean, and vocal superstar Storm Large.

Born in 1988, Huynh is a first generation Asian American and the first in his family to pursue classical music as a career.

Upcoming and recent engagements include the St. Louis Symphony, Detroit Symphony, and Grant Park Music Festival.

He has served as a cover conductor for the New York Philharmonic and Los Angeles Philharmonic with John Williams.

Huynh has been at the forefront of moving orchestral music out of the traditional concert hall. In 2011, he co-founded the Occasional Symphony in Baltimore to celebrate holidays by performing innovative concerts in distinct venues throughout the inner-city. The orchestra performed on Dr. Seuss’ birthday at Port Discovery Children’s Museum, Halloween in a burnt church turned concert venue, and Cinco de Mayo in the basement bar of a Mexican restaurant.

Huynh currently resides in Portland, Oregon, and enjoys skiing, board games, and riding his motorcycle. You can follow him on Instagram @normanconductor.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Meet Abby Matar azzo, the cover artist for this issue of InSymphony Kids. The Oregon Symphony selected Abby’s art from the many spectacular submissions of The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra coloring page in the Kids Activity Book. Congratulations, Abby! We hope you enjoy the show.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

My name is Abby. I have just started sixth grade at Rachel Carson School of Environmental Science. I love everything to do with nature, especially taking photographs of the things I find outside.

I love to do arts, crafts, and baking with my friends and family.

I do a lot of doodling in my spare time. I am also a competitive gymnast, which takes up a lot of my time.

How did you get the Oregon Symphony’s Kid’s Activity Book?

My family and I went to see the Peter and the Wolf concert earlier this year, and the ushers were handing them out.

I have two younger siblings, and we all enjoy going to the kids shows together. As a family, we really like going to see live performances.

What made you choose the coloring page of the instruments and kids to send to the Symphony?

I chose this page because it sparked my imagination. I love bringing color into pictures. I always like to see Norman conducting with his funky shoes, and I wanted to add the narrator because she is really funny in every performance.

What’s your favorite color? What kinds of things do you like to draw?

Abby

Matarazzo

I love everything purple. My favorite things to draw are flowers, rainbows, and animals.

Do you play any instruments, or would you like to someday?

I took piano lessons for a few years. However, the instrument I use the most is my voice. I am in a choir and would like to continue with this in the future.

What are some of the other Oregon Symphony performances you’ve seen, and what did love you about them?

We have seen many of the Oregon Symphony performances.

My favorites include Along the Oregon Trail because we had just studied it in school when we went to see it. I also really liked Cirque de la Symphonie last year. It was good to see the talented acrobats and the musicians perform together. I like going to the Symphony concerts because they always tell a story and keep the audience engaged. Pam Mahon always makes everyone laugh.

It’s fun to get dressed up to go out, too!

What’s your favorite instrument in the orchestra?

My favorite instrument in the orchestra is the harp. It makes such a beautiful sound, and it is very pretty to look at. .

The world is my adventure.

The Symphony is my source.

HORIZON SEEKER

A M I E L E L FE RT “Philip Glass said that music is not a metaphor for the world ‘out there.’ The ‘out there’ is the metaphor, and what’s real is music. Music is an extension of who I am. Glass and I are both living in the real world.”

HARRY POT TER 1

HARRY POTTER AUTHOR J.K. ROWLING STUDIED CLASSICAL LANGUAGES AT EXETER UNIVERSITY, AND MANY OF THE WIZARD’S SPELLS ARE IN LATIN. Hogwarts’ motto, “Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus” is Latin for “Never tickle a sleeping dragon.”

3

“DUMBLEDORE,” THE NAME OF HOGWARTS’ HEADMASTER, IS AN OLD ENGLISH WORD FOR “BUMBLEBEE.” Rowling chose it because the character loved music, and she imagined him with the habit of humming to himself.

5

ROWLING CREATED THE NAMES OF THE FOUR HOUSES AT HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY – GRYFFINDOR, SLYTHERIN, RAVENCLAW, AND HUFFLEPUFF – while on an airplane and jotted them down on a vomit bag to be sure she’d remember them when the plane landed.

7

IN RESPONSE TO POPULAR REQUEST, THE MANAGEMENT OF KING’S CROSS STATION HUNG A SIGN THAT READS “PLATFORM 9 ¾” BETWEEN PLATFORMS 9 AND 10 SO FANS CAN TAKE PHOTOS OF THE FICTIONAL BOARDING SPOT FOR THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS. There’s also half of a luggage trolley “disappearing” into the brick wall beneath the platform sign.

9

FOR YEARS, ROWLING PLANNED THAT THE LAST WORD OF THE FINAL SENTENCE IN THE SEVEN-BOOK SERIES WOULD BE “SCAR,” but she changed it at the last minute to “all was well.”

THE NAMES OF THE PLANTS IN THE WIZARDING WORLD, SUCH AS “MUGWORT” AND “TOADFLAX,” ARE NOT FROM ROWLING’S IMAGINATION BUT FROM A BOOK NAMED CULPEPER’S COMPLETE HERBAL, written in the 17th century by English botanist and herbalist Nicholas Culpeper.

Did you know?

The symphony orchestra is the largest and most exciting of all musical groups, with as many as 100 players. It is divided into four musical families called strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Every instrument in the orchestra belongs to one of these families. In a symphony orchestra, the musical families are related to one another, just like cousins, aunts, and uncles. The orchestra is a big family of instruments playing together.
