Letter from the Chairman Welcome to the 55th season of the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival!
There is much to be celebrated this year with eight concerts to experience and enjoy. There is excitement in the air with hugely successful artistic talent coming to Orkney Springs this summer. Again, the Board of Directors is exuberant about the wonderful opportunities our president, Dennis Lynch, has brought, featuring the best groups, diverse music and some very entertaining opportunities to the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival audiences. It is with great anticipation and enthusiasm that we welcome you, your friends and family members to the longest running summertime concert series in Virginia.
If you are a long-returning patron you will fondly remember the classical music played by the symphonic orchestras. Returning this year, the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra will be playing two concerts with varying themes, one focusing on the “Music of Pink Floyd” which will be remembered from the 70s. The other theme will feature classical music bringing to mind the beauty around us in the Shenandoah Valley.
Once again, the challenge this year has been in planning another superb season with our artistic mission, the desires of the audience and the budget in mind. The impact of increasing costs has driven the need for larger audiences and resources. There is no way for a performing arts organization to survive on ticket sales alone, especially one that is at the mercy of the weather. It takes a strong, loyal corps of people who believe in what we are and what we do. As the production costs continue to rise, the opportunities for giving continue to increase. In spite of these increases, one patron appreciated the event’s value by commenting, “Great night for a great price.”
The continued presence of the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival is determined by YOU, our patrons, individual and corporate contributions, ticket sales and sponsorships. You can make a difference as an individual donor toward the continuing goal of great music each summer in Orkney Springs. The sound of great music still bounces off the mountains surrounding Orkney Springs; the smell and taste of great food and ice cream will still linger in the air, and the loud applause will still be heard cheering after the exceptional performances by the artists this season. We are a place where music comes alive, a place to have fun in a unique setting and to enjoy the beauty of music under the stars and moon. Thank you. Enjoy! D. Leigh Devier

The Temptations Shenandoah Valley Music Festival Presents
on “Motown 25,” an NBC award-winning TV special commemorating Motown’s 25th year
In 1998, The Temptations were the focus of another TV special. A four-hour NBC miniseries, chronicling the group’s history, held the No. 1 spot in the network’s ratings during prime time viewing two nights in a row. The show also won an Emmy. Other notable achievements include the release of “Phoenix Rising” in 1998, which went platinum, and the 2000 release of “Ear Resistible,” which won a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance. For more than 50 years, The Temptations have prospered, propelling popular music with a series of smash hits and sold-out performances throughout the world.
The history of The Temptations is the history of contemporary American pop. An essential component of the original Motown machine, The Temps began their musical life in Detroit in the early ‘60s. It wasn’t until 1964, however, that “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” written-and-produced by the legendary Smokey Robinson, turned The Temptations into stars.
An avalanche of hits followed – “It’s Growing,” “Since I Lost My Baby,” “Get Ready,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Beauty Is only Skin Deep” and “I Wish It Would Rain” – many of which attained immortality.
Beyond the fabulous singing, The Temps became known for smooth stepping and

flawless presentations. The Temptations Walk became a staple of American style flair, flash and class. Millions of fans saw The Temptations as cultural heroes. When the ‘60s and ‘70s turned political, The Temps got serious. They changed their tone, dress and music. Producer Norman Whitfield led the way. Many of their hits burned with intensity. “Runaway Child” “Cloud Nine,” “I Can’t Get Next to You,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and “Psychedelic Shack” still smolder.
During that time other stellar singers – Richard Street, Ali-Ollie Woodson, Theo Peoples – joined and adding their luster to the groups’ growing fame. No matter the change in personnel, The Temptations remained true to The Temptations tradition. In the ‘80s, The Temps prevailed with smash hits, such as “Treat Her Like A Lady.” And in 1983, the group appeared
The Temptations’ original lineup was Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin. Currently Otis Williams is the only founding member still with the group. Other current members include Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Larry Braggs and Willie Greene Jr. “The more we change,” says Tyson, “the more we stay true to ourselves. We’re about singing straight-up soul. It’s a style that will live on forever.”
As for The Temptations’ incredible staying power, Otis Williams says: “When I tell people we are God’s group. I don’t mean it arrogantly. It’s just that we have been tested time and again and keep coming back. We have suffered the death of so many legendary singers . . . Paul Williams, David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin. Others like Dennis Edwards, Richard Street, AliOllie Woodson and Theo Peoples have left, and yet our unity is tighter, our sound brighter and our popularity greater.”

“The Shenandoah Valley … “there’s music in its very name,” Civil War author Bruce Catton once said of our unique region. Not only is there music in its name. The name evokes images as well – images of beauty – its gently rolling fields, bucolic pastures, pristine architecture and stunning mountain views. The name Shenandoah Valley also conjures up images of the people who live here, their character, their strong sense of community and their commitment to one another. In this special presentation of the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra’s “Oh, Shenandoah! Music for your Eyes,” the

Antonín Dvořák Traditional
audience will experience the past and present of the Shenandoah Valley through sight and sound with a program of symphonic music set to video, showcasing the Valley’s stunning landscapes, historic streetscapes and the people and communities that exist within them.
These images of our beloved Valley are backed with outstanding symphonic works. Copland’s “Hoedown” celebrates the joy of the people and “Appalachian Spring” the beauty of the land. Vaughn Williams’ “The Lark Ascending” focuses on our abundant fauna, and Dvořák’s most popular composition, the “New
World Symphony,” is all about his look at America and her music with new eyes. We hope our efforts cause you to look at our beautiful slice of the world, the Shenandoah Valley, with new eyes, too. A big thank you goes out to everyone who donated photos and film footage to make this video possible and to filmmaker Colin Mason of Mirandum Pictures in Front Royal for piecing together these bits of history to create fabulous work of art that tells the amazing story of our beautiful, historic Valley.
Thanks to the Shenandoah County Foundation and the Marion Park Lewis Foundation for their support of our music education programs. Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2018

Lee Brewster, Solo Violinist
Glenn Quader, conductor
A native of Washington, D.C., Glenn Quader is rapidly gaining national recognition as a dynamic and versatile conductor. Equally adept in the classical, jazz and popular idioms, he appears extensively as a conductor, performer and session musician in the United States and Europe, placing him in consistently high demand both on concert stages and in recording studios. Since Quader’s appointment as music director of the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra in 2005, his tenure has been marked by innovative and enthusiastically received programming and has included three world and two U.S. premieres. Under Quader’s leadership, the organization has increased its paid core membership, added to the number of its performances and enjoyed a three-fold rise in season subscriptions. Quader’s most recent professional appointments include music director of the Frederick Symphony Orchestra and conductor for the Maryland Lyric Opera
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2018
Born into a musical heritage, and the youngest son of the late Principal National Symphony Bassist H. Stevens Brewster Jr., Lee Brewster received his B.M. in violin performance at the Philadelphia Musical Academy in 1991. He studied violin with Assistant Concertmaster William de Pasquale and Section Violinist Frank Costanzo of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and Assistant Concertmaster Elisabeth Adkins and Concertmaster William Steck of the National Symphony Orchestra. He then furthered his chamber music and master class studies at the Curtis Institute of Music, Temple University, Catholic University, Shenandoah University, The University of Maryland and Peabody Conservatory. In December of 2000, Lee had the honor to premier the Barber Violin Concerto in Vidin, Bulgaria. In 2008, Lee released his debut recording of the Rode 24 Caprices for Solo Violin. He was a member of the Richmond Symphony violin section from 1991 to 1997, and has been a member of the Maryland Symphony violin section since September 2001. He previously served as Concertmaster of the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra from 2010 to 2014.
Now devoting the majority of his time to teaching, Lee has published a violin scale
book “The Brewster Scale Method.” Lee served on the violin faculty at the Levine School of Music in Washington D.C. from 2012 to 2014, and is currently on the violin/viola faculty at the Landon School for Boys in Bethesda, Md., and the Potomac School in McLean, Va. He is very proud to be the new concertmaster for the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra as of this year. Lee currently plays a violin specifically made for him by the celebrated luthier Vittorio Villa in Cremona, Italy.
The Piedmont Symphony Orchestra
Founded in 1996 by Michael A. Hughes as the Piedmont Regional Orchestra, it was started as an ensemble for amateur and student musicians. The orchestra rehearsed at Fauquier High School and provided several concerts per season. Upon the opening of the Highland Center for the Arts in 2003, the Piedmont Regional Orchestra established its residency there and soon thereafter changed its name to the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra. In 2005, Glenn Quader became the second music director of the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra and continued the tradition set forth by Mr. Hughes. Since 2005, the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra has presented three world and three U.S. premieres of new works. The Piedmont Symphony Orchestra also mounted the first-ever full opera production in Fauquier County in 2008 with Puccini’s “Le Villi,” and now frequently performs rock music with a full rock ensemble alongside the orchestra.

number of albums that have generated a long string of chart-topping hits, including “Passionate Kisses,” “Come On, Come On,” “Shut Up and Kiss Me,” “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her” and “Down at the Twist and Shout.”
An accomplished singer-songwriter, Carpenter has sold more than 14 million records in addition to winning four Grammy Awards for Best Country Vocal Performance and one for Best Country Album “Stones in the Road.” Carpenter has also garnered two Country Music Association Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards and is one of only 15 female members of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Emily Barker
When Mary Chapin Carpenter comes to Orkney Springs on Aug. 10, it will be her second appearance at SVMF. Her first appearance was in 2010, shortly after the release of her 11th studio album, “The Age of Miracles.” This time around, she’ll be treating fans to a special evening of music from her most recent release, “Sometimes Just the Sky.”
The album is a celebration of Carpenter’s acclaimed 30-year recording career, featuring new versions of her most beloved songs, as well as one newly written song, which is also the title track. Carpenter told Rolling Stone in a recent interview that the lyrics for “Sometimes Just the Sky” came to her
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2018
while listening to a speech given by fellow singer-songwriter Patti Smith.
“The essence of what she was saying was that life is hard and it can break your heart, it can tear you apart and disappoint you, but there are so many beautiful things about it, too. She lists a few things, like sometimes it's about meeting an old friend… and then she says, 'Sometimes it's just the sky.'"
Aside from the title track, the album features a remake of one song from each of Carpenter’s 12 studio albums, beginning with her 1987 release of “Hometown Girl.” Throughout Carpenter’s career, she has recorded a
Emily Barker is best known as the writer and performer of the award-winning theme of PBS Masterpiece crime drama “Wallander.” The U.K.-based Australian singer-songwriter also has written for film, including the feature film soundtrack for Jake Gavin’s lauded debut feature “Hector.”
Barker’s latest album, “Sweet Kind of Blue,” was recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis with Grammy-winning producer Matt RossSpang and an all-star cast of Memphis session players. The success of the album, with its seamless mix of soul, blues, country and folk influences, and the globe-trotting tours to support it, earned Barker recognition as U.K. Artist of the Year at the recent U.K. Americana Awards held at Hackney Empire in London.

Sopranos) and featured songs written by Van Zandt and Springsteen. “I Don’t Want To Go Home” became Southside’s signature song with a mixture of melodic riffs, soulful vocals and a blistering horn section.
The band continued producing its raucous fusion of R&B and rock and roll, creating more hits such as “Love On The Wrong Side of Town,” “The Fever,” “This Time It’s For Real,” “Talk To Me” and their cover of “We’re Having A Party.” In 1982, Rolling Stone voted Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes’ album “Hearts of Stone” among the top 100 albums of the 1970s and 1980s.
For Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes – ‘comfortable’ has never been a word associated with their brand of raucous, roots-tinged rock and bluesy reverie. The Jukes have more than 30 albums on their resume, thousands of acclaimed live performances across the globe and a vibrant legacy of classic songs that have become hits to their large and famously-dedicated fan base.
“With the Jukes, you’re out there every night leading this great rock n’ roll circus, giving it everything you’ve got,” says Southside Johnny Lyon.
Hailing from the same New Jersey Shore music scene as famous rockers Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2018
rose to prominence in the mid-1970s. Springsteen himself appeared on the band’s “Better Days” album, and both Southside Johnny and Springsteen’s E Street Band have been frequent collaborators on each other’s albums. The Jukes’ horn section, the Miami Horns, have even toured and recorded with Springsteen. Jon Bon Jovi has also been a long-time fan and Juke wannabe. “When I grew up, I wanted to be a Juke,” he says, adding: “I still want to be a Juke.”
Southside Johnny’s first three albums, “I Don’t Want To Go Home,” “This Time It’s for Real” and “Hearts of Stone” were produced by band co-founder Steven Van Zandt (E Street Band and The
With thousands of acclaimed live performances already under their belts, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes will continue to bring their high energy shows to venues all over the country and the world.
James Maddock
With a musical style that often blurs the lines between folk, classic rock and pop, British-born singer/songwriter James Maddock began his musical career in the 1980s. Considered the songwriters’ songwriter, he has won the respect of many musicians, including Bruce Springsteen, Aaron Comess of the Spin Doctors and David Immergluck of Counting Crows. Using his soulful voice, strong sense of narrative, vulnerability and distinct sound, Maddock has attracted a deeply loyal fan base over his 30-plus years of recording.

Shenandoah Valley Music Festival Presents
multi-platinum seller and a frequent collaborator with some of the most iconic figures in American popular music, including Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Natalie Cole and Frank Sinatra. His subsequent studio albums, “Silhouette” (1988) and “Breathless” (1992), were hugely successful, with the latter selling more than 12 million records in the United States alone and spawning the Grammy-winning single “Forever in Love.” Other career highlights include “Miracles,” a 1994 holiday album that took him to the top of the Billboard chart for the first time and has since become the best-selling holiday album of all time. His two holiday albums since then – “Faith” in 1999 and “Wishes” in 2002 – have been similarly successful. And lastly, “The Duets Album,” released in 2004, features performances by Barbara Streisand, Burt Bacharach and LeAnn Rimes, along with a remake of Outkast’s “The Way You Move” with Earth, Wind and Fire.
In a recording career that spans almost three decades and 23 albums, Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Kenny G has grafted elements of R&B, pop and Latin to a jazz foundation, solidifying his reputation as the premiere artist in contemporary adult pop music. Since the early ‘80s, his combination of unparalleled instrumental chops and indelible melodies has resulted in sales of more than 75 million records worldwide -- 45 million in the United States alone -- and more than a dozen climbs to the top of Billboard’s contemporary jazz chart.
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2018
Kenny G grew up in Seattle and started playing saxophone at the age of 10. As a teen in the early 1970s, he played sax in his high school jazz band and was only 17 when he landed a gig with Barry White and his Love Unlimited Orchestra at the Paramount Theater in 1973. After high school, the gigs with R&B and contemporary jazz artists like White and Jeff Lorber kept coming. In 1982, he landed a record deal with Arista and launched a solo career with three critically acclaimed jazz albums – “Kenny G” (1982), “G-Force” (1983) and “Gravity” (1985). By the 1990s, he was a
In 2008, the album release of “Rhythm and Romance,” united him with an all-star lineup of Latin musicians, including guitarist Ramon Stagnaro; percussionists Michito Sanchez, Paulino Da Costa and Ron Powell; and legendary Weather Report drummer Alex Acuña. Some of Kenny G’s more recent albums include the release of “Heart and Soul,” in 2010 and “Brazilian Nights” in 2015.

Michael Cleveland, one of the most awarded and celebrated fiddlers in the history of bluegrass, will be headlining SVMF’s Bluegrass Minifest. Blind from birth, Cleveland began playing the violin at 4 years old. He progressed rapidly, playing alongside the legendary Bill Monroe at the Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival at the age of 9.
He studied classical violin at the Kentucky School for the Blind, and by the time he was in his teens, he had performed at the Grand Ole Opry and on “Prairie Home Companion.” He was nominated for a Grammy in 2018 and is also a 10-time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association Fiddler Player of the Year Award and a six-time

bluegrass around. Solivan is an Alaska native but left the cold climate of the most northern state for the bluegrass hotbed of Washington, D.C. Since then, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen have become a major festival attraction with their signature bluegrass sound. In 2015, the band earned a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album of the Year for “Cold Spell.” In addition to Solivan, members of Dirty Kitchen include banjoist Mike Munford, IBMA’s 2013 Banjo Player of the Year, awardwinning guitarist Chris Luquette and bassist Jeremy Middleton.

Since forming Flamekeeper in 2006, Cleveland and his band have won IBMA’s Instrumental Group of the Year five times. Wherever Cleveland & Flamekeeper perform, their shows deliver authentic bluegrass, with a fire and drive that leaves audiences stunned in amazement.

Mandolinist Thomas Cassell is the winner of the 2016 Rockygrass Mandolin Contest. Finally, bassist Vince Ilahan holds a bass performance degree from the University of Tennessee and has years of studio and touring experience. With this combination, Circus No. 9 has solidified itself as one of the most exciting new bands on the acoustic music scene today.

How would you like to help support the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival in a fun way?
David Collins, President, Basye
The Shenandoah Valley Music Festival Guild puts an emphasis on “FUN” while FUNdraising for SVMF. By becoming a member of the Guild, you will join more than 100 other people who attend events year-round to raising money for the Festival. Some of these events include luncheons with musical entertainment, held at a different venue each month. In addition to the luncheons, The Guild organizes Sunday theater matinees four times a year. The dinner-theater events take place at various theaters and restaurants throughout the Shenandoah Valley. Guild members also work together to raise money for SVMF through pie and ice cream sales at the Festival’s July concerts. Members are notified each month by email of Guild activities, and there is no requirement to attend the events. The Guild is a great way to meet fun-loving people who have a passion for music and want to support the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival. To learn more about the Guild and how to become a member, contact Mindi Haughey at mindihaughey@aol.com
