Biogr aphies John Downey Fellow Josh Baerwald has been playing cello for seven years and plays several other instruments, as well. He has studied the saxophone for two years, the piano for a year and has also recently begun playing the trombone. He has been taking private cello lessons for five years and currently studies with Adrien Zitoun. A member of MYSO’s Senior Symphony and Chamber Orchestra, Josh was one of the musicians that performed on tour with the Senior Symphony in Vienna and Prague in 2012. A junior at Greendale High School, Josh has been composing music for one year. He aspires to be a conductor and/or composer later on in life and would like to thank Adam Murphy, his composition coach. Sarah May is a seventh grader at Peace Lutheran Academy in Sussex. She started Suzuki violin lessons when she was three years old with Mary Ellen Meyer and continued on with Lindsay Erickson. For the last six years she has studied with Pamela Simmons. Sarah has enjoyed singing in the Milwaukee Children’s Choir and in the musicals “The King and I” and “Seussical the Musical.” She now sings in the Academy Choir and plays in the string ensemble at her church. Before joining MYSO, she played with the Waukesha Area Youth Orchestra directed by Tim Cobb. Two years ago, she was also a winner in the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s Bach Double Competition and in MYSO’s String Orchestra Concerto Competition. When she’s not making music, she enjoys cooking and all sorts of hand crafts from crocheting to drawing. She would like to thank Mrs. Simmons for her patient, enthusiastic teaching and dedicates today’s performance to her.

cha mber orchestr a See Chamber Orchestra personnel on page 19 j o h n d ow n e y c r e at i o n p r oj e c t MYSO is proud to collaborate with one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier new music ensembles, Present Music, as we bring twelve world premiere student compositions to performance this year. In memory of Dr. John Downey, both a visionary composer and an inspiring man, MYSO musicians are invited to have the opportunity to meet with a professional who guides them from the early structural and conceptual issues of composition through the final printing and rehearsals of their work. The John Downey Creation Project provides MYSO ensembles, as well as MYSO composers, important and exciting experience by undertaking the many challenges of new music. John Downey served as Director of Music Theory and Composition for Music For Youth/MYSO for more than 40 years and was a very important and beloved member of the MYSO family until his passing in 2004. Dr. Downey, a Distinguished Professor of Music at UW-Milwaukee, was an internationally renowned composer who collaborated with the great artists of his time and, among many honors, was knighted by the French government. Among many pieces performed by musicians all over the world, he wrote a number of works for Music For Youth/ 26

MYSO, as his MYSO students were an essential and joyous part of his career. Professor Downey played a critically important role in the lives of thousands of students, several of whom have become noted composers. He was absolutely central to our organization and mission for many years. The 2013 John Downey Fellows and the MYSO ensemble for which they are composing are as follows: Sabrina Raber, Senior Symphony; Timothy Reinholz, Chamber Orchestra; Thomas Bagin, Philharmonia; Josh Baerwald, Sinfonia; George Papajohn, Junior Wind Ensemble; Séamus Dallman, String Orchestra, Andy Meixner, Chamber Flute Ensemble, Torrin Hallet, Brass Ensemble as part of MYSO’s Chamber Ensembles Program; Judith Moy, String Ensemble as part of MYSO’s Chamber Ensembles Program; and Mystique Evans, Calypso. We are confident that Dr. Downey would be thrilled by the enthusiasm, creativity and the seriousness of purpose displayed by these young MYSO composers, to whom he would have referred as “my geniuses.”

Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra

m i lwau k e e yo u t h s y m p h o n y o r c h e s t r a Celebrating 57 years of excellence, Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO) has been instrumental in changing the lives of young people since 1956 when it began as a single orchestra of 30 musicians. Since its early beginnings it has grown to become, by several measures, the largest and most extensive youth orchestra program in the country. Serving more than 900 talented young musicians from as many as 14 counties in southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, this award-winning program offers the highest level of training in ensemble musicianship to motivated young people from diverse backgrounds. Students with varied levels of instrumental skills benefit from the broad range of MYSO experiences, all created to foster talent, build character and enhance lives by nurturing an enduring love of music. In 2005, MYSO moved into the acclaimed Milwaukee Youth Arts Center (MYAC), a collaborative initiative of MYSO and First Stage. Home, also, to dance and vocal music training programs, this 56,000 sq. ft. state of the art facility in Milwaukee’s historic Schlitz Park is quickly becoming a national model for arts education, with a mission of using the arts to enhance all children’s lives. Several innovative MYSO offerings, prompted and made possible by the move, have received notable awards and recognition—locally, regionally and nationally. Particular recognition has come to MYSO for its ambitious efforts in outreach and community partnerships. Building on the rich past of its first half-century, MYSO combines many respected, established programs with exciting new ventures. Founded with assistance from the Junior League and Rotary Club of Milwaukee, MYSO has expanded its offerings to include: Senior Symphony—MYSO’s flagship ensemble, a full symphony orchestra made up of very advanced players, generally in the upper grades of high school. It has long been recognized as one of the nation’s top youth music ensembles, hailed for artistic excellence both nationally and internationally. Philharmonia—a full symphony orchestra which provides musicians with experience in preparing a great variety of shorter works from the romantic to postmodern periods; comprised generally of younger high school musicians. Chamber Orchestra—comprised of players from MYSO’s Senior Symphony and Philharmonia, this very advanced group is organized to play standard chamber orchestra repertoire—music not generally played by the large symphony orchestras. Sinfonia/Junior Symphony Orchestra—a large, intermediate-level string orchestra whose members are generally in middle school and early high school. In the spring, selected wind players from the Junior Wind Ensemble augment this group to form the Junior Symphony Orchestra, playing full orchestra literature. Junior Wind Ensemble—an intermediate-level wind ensemble comprised of woodwind, brass and percussion players in grades 6-9. String Orchestra—a string training program, which rehearses as four smaller groups at regional sites around the area (Central, North, South and West). These groups combine to perform as two large string orchestras. Prelude Orchestra—a small training program, which introduces the concepts of orchestral string playing in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere tailored to elementary students. Chamber Flute Ensemble—an advanced, multi-part flute choir that works on cutting edge, advanced flute ensemble repertoire and more sophisticated arrangements of orchestral repertoire.

Flute Chorale—a multi-part flute choir that plays standard flute ensemble repertoire and arrangements of orchestral repertoire. Members are generally in middle school or early high school. Progressions—an intensive, introductory string training program consisting of lessons and orchestra experience; directed toward City of Milwaukee populations which have previously been under-represented in MYSO. Jazz Studies—a constellation of classes and small combo opportunities for middle and high school students, with a special focus on City of Milwaukee students. Calypso—a steel band in the Trinidadian tradition, originally formed in partnership with Milwaukee Public Schools. MYSO Strings Initiative in Waukesha—a beginning string instrument training program working with the urban Latino population in Waukesha. Students range from 8 to 18, with membership in most groups based on auditions. MYSO’s extensive schedule of rehearsals, performances, outreach initiatives and enrichment opportunities also includes: a large chamber music program, music theory and composition classes, “side-by-side” rehearsals which match less experienced players with those who are more advanced, free master classes, workshops, competitions, recitals, recording sessions, periodic international touring and much more. MYSO has partnered with numerous other organizations to better serve both students and community. Examples of these collaborations, in addition to the facility initiative with First Stage, include a well-established partnership with the Latino Arts Strings Program at the United Community Center, side-by-side reading workshops with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, an annual concert with the Milwaukee Children’s Choir, the John Downey Creation Project, a “new music” composition initiative with Present Music, a talent development partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs, ongoing programs in cooperation with Milwaukee Public Schools and periodic artistic initiatives with such groups as Danceworks, Master Singers and Milwaukee Choristers, Milwaukee Ballet and others. MYSO’s talented music faculty members blend creativity and pedagogical expertise with their great breadth of musical knowledge. They come from all corners of the musical world and include UW-Milwaukee faculty, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra players, seasoned and recognized school educators and other noted area musicians. MYSO’s experienced, capable administrative staff has doubled the organization’s enrollment over the past fifteen years while successfully completing the fundraising for—and building of—MYAC, a major new community facility. The entire MYSO family is united in its dedication not only to training future performers and music educators but especially to instilling in many thousands of young people a much deeper appreciation of the arts—fine music in particular. While participation in most ensembles is tuition-based, MYSO has a longstanding commitment to making its programs available to all qualified musicians; scholarship assistance is available upon application, and no student shall be denied an opportunity to participate because of financial need. A major community initiative to raise $2 million in scholarship funds (“Fran’s Fund”) is nearing completion. MYSO has been a member of the United Performing Arts Fund since UPAF’s founding in 1969. MYSO exists—and thrives—thanks to UPAF and to the thousands of other generous donors who support its programs!
