Your Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra From its inception as a shared dream among a group of music-loving friends to its establishment as a premier regional orchestra, under the leadership of 13 conductors over the course of nearly 85 years, the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra remains passionately committed to enriching Michigan’s culture through musical performance and dedicated connection to the community. The A2SO (then the “Ann Arbor Community Orchestra,” and later the “Ann Arbor Civic Orchestra”) offered its first major program in November 1931, after being founded in 1928. By 1935 the orchestra was organized under the general administration of Ann Arbor’s Parks and Recreation Department. In 1941, distinguished music educator Joseph Maddy, who had founded what would later become the Interlochen Center for the Arts, became the fourth conductor of our Symphony, which was still made up of amateur players. By 1986, the A2SO had become a fully professional orchestra under conductor Carl St.Clair. In 2000, Arie Lipsky was chosen as the organization’s new Music Director, and the Symphony has grown in its artistic quality ever since. This year, by unanimous agreement of board, musicians and community, Mr. Lipsky was offered, and he accepted, a five-year renewal in his leadership of this Symphony. A2SO concerts frequently feature world-class guest soloists, including Anton Nel, Roman Rabinovich, Amit Peled, and even American Idol star David Archuleta. But the Symphony is most privileged to be part of a community that is already enriched with musical talent; local virtuosi such as violinist Yehonatan Berick, A2SO Principal trumpet William Campbell, vocalists Melody Racine and Stephen West, flutist Amy Porter, cellist Anthony Elliott, and many more who join the A2SO on stage regularly. In 2009, the A2SO released its first CD, featuring the music of contemporary composer Paul Fetler, as part of Naxos’s “American Classics” series. The CD consists of live performances of Fetler’s Violin Concerto No. 2, with concertmaster Aaron Berofsky as soloist, Capriccio for orchestra, and Three Poems of Walt Whitman, narrated by Thomas Blaske. AnnArbor.com described the recording as “startlingly wonderful” and praises Fetler’s “evocative lyricism…in music that is itself protean in color, style, and mood.” -3-
We are especially proud of our commitment to new works and commissioning area composers. In September 2010, the A2SO gave the Michigan premiere of Ann Arbor composer Michael Daugherty’s emotional tour de force Trail of Tears, featuring Amy Porter. Whether on the CD, in the concert hall or the classroom, the A2SO attracts, inspires and educates the most diverse audience possible; fosters a growing appreciation for excellent music and regional talent; and provides imaginative programming through community involvement. Join us this season as we help you experience the Joy of Music in the Key of A2Ž.

Arie Lipsky “My goal as a conductor is to be a musician who puts the music first, and to make sure what the composers wrote is delivered to the audience.” Born in Israel where he received extensive training as a cellist and as a flutist, Arie Lipsky was just nine when he won the first of many prestigious musical competitions allowing him to solo with his town’s orchestra. After this impressive success, he began to appear in concerts throughout Israel and Europe. Lipsky subsequently began serious study of composition and conducting. His mentors include Semyon Bychkov, Yoel Levi and Kurt Mazur in conducting and Pablo Casals and Leonard Rose on cello. He holds degrees in Aeronautical Engineering and Music which he received before serving in the Israeli Army. After moving to the United States, Lipsky served as Assistant Conductor of the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Ohio Opera. He moved to Buffalo in 1984 to become the Buffalo Philharmonic’s principal cellist and in 1990, he became the Resident Conductor. In early 1995, on short notice, Lipsky replaced the late Eduardo Mata conducting the Israel Chamber Orchestra, where his success resulted in return engagements with many of Israel’s orchestras. Lipsky has also conducted the Arthur Rubinstein Orchestra in Lódź, Poland. Lipsky is the Music Director of the Ashland Symphony (Ohio) and conducts major orchestras in the United States, Canada and Europe. An elegant and expressive conductor, Lipsky garners high praise from some of the world’s best conductors. Semyon Bychkov, Music Director of L’Orchestre de Paris, calls Lipsky “. . . a born conductor,” and Yoel Levi, former Music Director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, says that “As a musician Arie is first class; his technique is excellent, his memory outstanding . . . he knows how to communicate and is well deserving of respect and admiration.” Now celebrating his 13th season with the A2SO, Lipsky continues to grow a tremendous and loyal audience in Southeastern Michigan with concerts for both discerning and casual listeners. As one reviewer said, “under the baton of Music Director Lipsky, the Orchestra played with finesse and polish that experience brings to bear.” Lipsky and the A2SO were honored during his 10th anniversary season as “Ambassador of the Year” by the Ann Arbor Area Visitor and Convention -6-
Bureau. Lipsky and the A2SO also released a CD on the Naxos label of three pieces by American composer Paul Fetler. Education and outreach are key drivers to Mr. Lipsky’s musical vision. Last season he visited over 4,425 youngsters in classrooms and coached orchestral and band classes in a four-county area around Ann Arbor. He and the A2SO will hold the 7th annual side-by-side concert with the Pinckney Public Schools this season. Mr. Lipsky records on the Fleur de Son Classics label. His CD New Arts Trio in Recital at Chautauqua was reviewed by Fanfare Magazine: “I’ll affirm that this is one of the most interesting and exciting discs of piano trios, or any chamber music, or any classical music I have ever heard.” In 2010, he released a CD of piano trios by Dvořák, Idoru, Piazzolla and Milch-Sheriff. Other recordings include Schubert Overtures, Concertos by Sierra and Bruch, and Guitar Concerti with the Israel Chamber Orchestra. Arie is a member of the New Arts Trio in residence at the Chautauqua Institute, where he serves as Director of Chamber Music. Arie enjoys an active family life with his wife Rachel and two children Gilad and Inbal.

Arie’s Musings With my deepest appreciation of the Grace of Music in mind, I joyfully welcome you to each concert in our season of making music with and for you, as together we celebrate the Joy of Music in the Key of A2®. “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; ’Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.” If you substitute the word “Music” for “Grace” in the treasured verses I quote, you have so very much of my personal and family story. This past May, I was honored to be the keynote commencement speaker at Ashland University. This wonderful, hopeful universal hymn, Amazing Grace, was the foundation and theme of my address, which ended with me playing flute while the football stadium full of almost-graduates and their proud parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, professors and friends sang out the joyful appreciation of Amazing Grace. It was an unforgettable moment to see and hear everyone united in liberty and gathered under May’s shining sun, singing, hoping and joyously dreaming together. “’Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far...” For me the Grace of Music is and always has been joyful. When I planned the current A2SO season, Joy was my theme – from the obvious Ode in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, to my personal joy in working with Roman Rabinovich, an ascendant young artist whom I have watched from his early days grow into a mature, world-class musician. From a personally felt awakening to the Grace of that other Bo (not Schembechler), a most definite “10,” on through Holiday Joy to Mozart – the composer culmination of joyful music – to the joy of conducting a new piece for me with old friends and colleagues in our own A2SO, and finally reaching our season’s triumphant Mahler Symphony No. 6, a piece I performed in my first Carnegie Hall appearance. So as I write these words I know we shall share seven joyous occasions together as we traverse this very special season. Sometime, please take -10-
a moment to share with me your personal story of Joy in Music. Mine will be echoing throughout our community this year. I wish you all Grace and Music and Joy. See you at the Symphony,

Holiday Greetings, Friends Will there be snow for Christmas? Can I still see a star so bright, so shiny, in the sky? Will Santa find our house? Yes. Yes. Yes. As Executive Elf, I welcome you to your A2SO’s 1st Annual Holiday Pops Concert. I hope that the warmth and good cheer of tonight’s concert becomes part of your ongoing holiday tradition. I imagine youngsters in tonight’s audience feeling the warmth of sitting in the plushy velvet seats of Hill Auditorium. Parents, I hope that as you sit and take in the grandeur of this space, that you’ll think back on how these holiday carols became part of your life story. For me, some of these holiday memories started as a Haisley School student here in Ann Arbor. The first thing we would do in the cold, clear December mornings was to gather by the piano in the front lobby, sit on the mottled linoleum-tiled floor – so lovingly burnished by Mr. Benton – and sing. The pale sun would dance on the ceramic bas relief and artwork while we sang carols and folk tunes. It was a touching tradition I recall each time I hear I Saw Three Ships. And could it be December without the Nutcracker? Oh! To be transported on the wings of song to a world where the toys come alive, mice fight, and there are precious commodities like Marzipan, Ginger, Tea, Coffee and Sugar Plums. A holiday festival such as this couldn’t happen without wonderful guests like you to make our evening sparkle. A heartfelt thank you to our outstanding musicians of the A2SO under the gifted leadership of Arie Lipsky. A stocking full of delights to Bonnie Kidd, Richard Ingram and Steven Lorenz for the inspiration they generate in second to none singers from Huron and Pioneer High Schools and from Measure for Measure. A holiday toast to the noteworthy leadership of our Board of Directors led by President William Maxbauer. My personal wishes for a terrific 2013 to the hardest-working team in the orchestra business – a team who is energized, devoted and eager to serve and enhance the A2SO – Sarah Davies, Rebecca La Duca, Zac Moore, Stephanie Roose, Sarah Ruddy and Lori Zupan. May tonight’s concert of special holiday music be the start of many wonderful memories for you. Executive Elf -12-

Measure for Measure Measure for Measure was founded in 1988 by five University of Michigan Men’s Glee Club alumni in an effort to provide an opportunity for men to perform music composed and arranged for male chorus. Under the leadership of the founding conductor, Dr. Leonard L. Riccinto, the group debuted in April 1989 with 19 singers. Now in its 25th year, chorus members come from throughout southeast Michigan, ranging in age from 21 to over 80. Though drawn from a wide variety of occupational backgrounds, they share a dedication to the choral art and enjoy a special blend of camaraderie, community and musicality. The group has earned praise for their lively musical excellence in performances throughout America and Europe, but the reflection they most often value is the often heard “You really enjoy what you are doing!” Measure for Measure’s efforts to promote male choral singing have led to performances throughout Michigan, the United States, Canada, and Europe. Measure for Measure has collaborated with the Ann Arbor, Detroit, Flint, and Ypsilanti Symphony Orchestras, and performed at conventions of the American Choral Directors Association, the Michigan School Vocal Music Association, and the Intercollegiate Men’s Choruses. This is the seventh appearance of Measure for Measure with the A2SO.
Pioneer High School Choirs The Pioneer High School choral program consists of 175 members in four curricular and seven extra-curricular choral ensembles. Members participate in solo and ensemble festival, honors choir, student leadership, and private voice study. In January 2013, the A Cappella Choir will travel to Grand Rapids to perform at the Michigan Music Educators Association Student Composition Concert, as part of the Michigan Music Conference. In 2012, the Pioneer Choirs performed at the Michigan Youth Arts Festival and traveled to New York City to perform in Lincoln Center. In 2011, the Pioneer High School music department was named the National GRAMMY Signature School, becoming the only school in the nation to receive this distinction twice (2006). This is the third A2SO appearance of choirs from Pioneer High School. -17-
Steven Lorenz is director of choral activities at Pioneer High School and musical director of Measure for Measure. At Pioneer he directs four curricular choirs, oversees seven extra-curricular choirs, and teaches advanced placement music theory. During the summer, Mr. Lorenz is on the conducting faculty at the Interlochen Arts Camp, directing the Intermediate Vocal Arts program. Mr. Lorenz holds degrees from Michigan State U. (M.M.) and Carleton College (B.A.), studying conducting with Jonathan Reed and Lawrence Burnett. Choirs prepared by Mr. Lorenz have appeared at the American Choral Directors Association Central Division and Michigan State Conventions, Intercollegiate Men’s Choruses seminar, Michigan Music Conference, Michigan Youth Arts Festival, and have sung under the batons of Enrique Diemecke, Arie Lipsky, David Rayl, and Leonard Riccinto. Mr. Lorenz was selected as conductor of the 2012 MSVMA Region C Honors Choir and 2013 MSVMA State TTBB Honors Choir. Mr. Lorenz serves on the boards of the Intercollegiate Men’s Choruses and the American Choral Directors Association-Michigan as Repertoire and Standards Chair for Male Choirs. He is also active with the Michigan School Vocal Music Association. Past appointments include South Lyon High School, Oakland Community College, and assistant conductor of the GRAMMY award-winning UMS Choral Union.
Huron High School Choirs The Huron High School A Cappella Choir has completed five European tours including a 2006 appearance at the Verona, Italy Choral Competition, where both A Cappella Choir and Bel Canto Choir were awarded the Gold Trophy as the outstanding choir in their category, as well as a special judge’s award. This spring, the two choirs will travel to the Peace and Brotherhood Festival in Rome, Italy. The Huron A Cappella and Bel Canto Choirs have been invited to perform for Michigan State-wide Music Conferences for MSVMA and ACDA in 1994, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2011. The Huron Music Department has received multiple Grammy Award designations over the past 12 years. Richard Ingram conducts the A Cappella Choir and Bonnie Kidd conducts Bel Canto Choir. This is the third A2SO appearance of choirs from Huron High School. -18-

Leverage Your Gift to the A2SO Your generous cash donation to the A2SO helps your Symphony to continue making beautiful music as well as offering the many wonderful programs such as the A2SO Daytime Youth Concerts and Instrument Petting Zoos. Of course, it may also allow you to take an income tax deduction for the amount of your donation, significantly reducing the actual cost to you of making the donation. If you were to donate $1,000 in cash to the A2SO, the actual cost of that gift to you is significantly less than $1,000. For example, if you fall in the 35% Federal Income Tax rate bracket and pay Michigan income tax (4.35%), the net cost of your gift is actually $606.50 after taking the $1,000 deduction on your Federal and Michigan returns. Suppose, though, that you have marketable stock that is currently worth $1,000 that you purchased more than a year ago for $100. If you sell the stock in order to donate cash to the A2SO, you will pay capital gains tax on the $900 of appreciation (currently 15%). If you donate the appreciated stock to the A2SO instead of giving cash, the Symphony still receives your generous donation of $1,000. But you are better off. Here’s why. You still receive an income tax deduction for the full value of the stock, but your gift of the stock does not trigger capital gains tax on the $900 of appreciation. By avoiding the capital gains tax, the net cost of your gift is now only $470.50! Note: This illustration assumes that your itemize income tax deductions. Also, there are limitations on the total amount of charitable donations that you can make each year. Consult your tax advisor for details.
Keep Today’s A2SO Music Continuing Many years of planning have gone into this season of the Joy of Music in the Key of A2®. We couldn’t be more proud of the music created by this amazing resident professional orchestra. We hope today’s concert exceeds your expectations by giving your imagination flight, your heart solace, your intellect mental gymnastics and your sense of fun some time with both new and long-time friends. I invite you to help keep today’s A2SO music continuing for future audiences. I invite you to remember your A2SO in your estate plans. -32-
What better way to thank your A2SO for touching your life than to make a contribution from your estate through a planned gift. How has the A2SO has touched your life? * With Beethoven’s breathtaking Ode to Joy? * With the riveting A2SO CD of Paul Fetler’s music, the goose-bump excitement of Beat! Beat! Drums!? * With the shouts from bus load after bus load of ecstatic elementaryschool children screaming “Copland Rocks!” or “A2SO is COOL!” after our March Youth Concerts? Most of you here today have a stronger-than-passing interest in supporting your A2SO. I ask you to join me in establishing a planned gift to our beloved A2SO and keep the music playing.
Leave a Lasting Legacy
Planned gifts are simple. They are your tools to make very concrete things happen. What’s more, those tools are as varied as the gamut of musical styles you will hear this season. Your trust and tax advisors can adapt any number of tools to make what you want happen: bequests, charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities, IRAs, 401Ks, life insurance policies, to name just a few. For many of us, we fear that by making planned gifts we might short-shrift our family and relatives. Truth be told, leaving a gift to charity in your will may reduce the estate tax burden on your heirs significantly. Many of us think our gift is too small and doesn’t make a difference. This couldn’t be less true – gifts small and large are critically important. More than 80 percent of Americans contribute to nonprofits annually throughout their lifetimes. But according to Leave a Legacy, only around 2.8% choose to continue this support through a charitable bequest. By making a bequest or other planned gift, you play your part in helping your A2SO entertain, educate and inspire future audiences and make an important difference in our community. Please feel free to contact me at (734) 994-4801 to keep the music playing.

A2SO Education and Outreach Programs All of us at the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra are passionate about educating our children and being involved in our communities. We offer a variety of programs designed for families, teachers and students that reach beyond the concert hall, including classroom visits and community concerts. These programs engage more than 30,000 people each year, igniting sparks of curiosity about music that lead to transforming experiences.
Youth Concerts
Each year, approximately 5,000 students attend Youth Concerts at the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. Open to public, private and home schools, these concerts offer a comprehensive educational experience that enriches in-school learning. Hill Auditorium presents a most unique classroom, where special performances by the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra combine the thrill of live music with key educational concepts. Sponsored by AsahiKASEI, Mardi Gras Fund and U-M Credit Union.
Instrument Petting Zoos
Hands-on fun with instruments! Children have the chance to get upclose and personal with the orchestral instruments they see professionally played on stage. Instrument Petting Zoos inhabit A2SO Family Concerts, daycare centers and classrooms around Washtenaw County. Sponsored by Shar. -34-
School Concerts
The Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra ensembles provide a unique and convenient way to expose students to classical music. Students hear live, top-quality music and meet professional musicians in an up-close, informal setting. During these interactive visits, the musicians will talk about music history, music theory, the science of the sound produced by their instruments, and their own individual journeys to becoming professional musicians. Sponsored by Comerica Charitable Foundation, Lauraine Hoenscheid, Meijer, Music Performance Trust Fund, Sigurd I. and Jarmila H. Rislov Foundation, Target and Toyota.
Conductor Workshops
Maestro Arie Lipsky ensures that our music reaches beyond the stage when he steps off of the podium and visits your classroom. K-12 students are given the opportunity to meet Arie and ask all of those questions they have always wanted to ask a conductor. He can play the flute or cello, teach students to conduct simple patterns, conduct a school orchestra, and share wisdom about a musical career.
Side-By-Side Concerts
A unique, life-changing opportunity for student musicians to share the stage with Maestro Arie Lipsky and the musicians of your Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. Students and professionals work together to prepare for an unforgettable, shared concert experience. Each program is individually tailored to support the needs and abilities of your school orchestra.
KinderConcerts
FREE 30-minute concerts designed especially for 2-6 year olds. Members of your A²SO join experts Gari Stein and Kathryn Goodson for a guided introduction to the instruments of the orchestra. Introduce even the youngest listeners to classical music by dancing a tango and waving colorful scarves with your little listeners at your local library. Check the website for the schedule: www.a2so.com/kinderconcerts. Sponsored by the Ray & Eleanor Cross Foundation, Kiwanis Club of Ann Arbor, Edward Surovell Company / Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, David & Stephanie Pyne, and Prue & Ami Rosenthal. -35-

Performances are at 1:30, with the dessert reception at 1:00. Purchase tickets from the A2SO or at the door. These concerts are sponsored by
