Anthony Elliott, Conductor of the Michigan Youth Orchestra at the University of Michigan, is in continuous demand as a conductor, and as a concert cellist. Equally at home with the bow or the baton, he has earned numerous awards, enthusiastic public acclaim, and excel- lent critical notices for his performances throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. The New York Times hailed his recent Carnegie Hall concert conducting the Sphinx Chamber Orchestra as “first rate in every way”.

Maestro Elliott was first encouraged to pursue conducting by the late Karel Ancerl, who as Music Director, led the Czech Philharmonic to international prominence. Conducting studies were under the direction of Vilem Sokol. He has participated in conducting master classes sponsored by the American Symphony Orchestra

League under the direction of Pierre Boulez and Andre Previn, and is a member of the Conductor’s Guild. Mr. Elliott was also invited to give workshops for conductors at the Midwestern Conference of Music Education at the University of Michigan, and for the Texas Orchestra Directors Association.

Recently he conducted a series of concerts with the San Antonio Symphony. He also led the Sphinx Chamber Orchestra in two critically acclaimed performances in Carnegie Hall. He also conducted the opening concert of the Guelph Spring Festival, one of Canada’s oldest classical music festivals, featuring the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. That performance included the World Premiere of And the Children Shall Lead by composer Jeffrey Ryan. The work was a special commission from the Millennium Arts Fund of the Canada Arts Council. Other recent engagements include the Sphinx Symphony, Plymouth (MI) Symphony, the Prince George’s Philhar- monic, the University Symphony Orchestra at the University of Michigan, the New York, Washington, Texas, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, Maryland, Alaska, and North Dakota All State Orchestras, the All Northwest Orchestra, and a fully staged production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors. Other fully staged operas include Cosi Fan Tutte, and The Consul. His activities as a conductor are far ranging, including choral works, ballet, and collaborating with internationally known soloists such as Pinchas Zukerman, Nathaniel Rosen, Phillipe Bianconni, Margarita Noye, Jeffrey Biegel, Valerie Gillard, Paul Rosenthal, and Alice Neary.

Mr. Elliott has conducted the Kent/Blossom Chamber Orchestra at the Blossom Music Festival, an honor he has shared with National Symphony Orchestra Music Director Leonard Slatkin, and Cleveland Orchestra Resident Conductor Jahja Ling. He has also shared podium duties at the Texas Music Festival with such noted maestros as Christoph Eschenbach and Maxim Shostakovich. For seven seasons, he served as Assistant Music Director of the Marrowstone Music Festival, conducting both the Festival and Concert Orchestras. As Music Director of the Houston Youth Symphony and Ballet, he led successful collaborations of music with dance, a joint concert with the New Philharmonic Junior Orchestra of Osaka-Kobe, a joint concert with the San Antonio Youth Or- chestra, and a heralded two week European concert tour to Holland, Germany, and Austria. He has also led the CAMMAC Orchestra, The Vancouver Chamber Players, the Scott Joplin Chamber Orchestra, the University of Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Michigan Youth Arts Festival Orchestra, the All Michigan Honors Orchestra, and the Western Michigan University Symphony Orchestra. In 1988 he received a Citation of Excellence for his artistic accomplishments from Houston Mayor Kathryn Whitmire and the Houston City Council.

Mr. Elliott was the Grand Prize winner of the Feuermann International Solo Cello Competition in 1987, and has appeared as a soloist with the New York Philharmonic, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Minnesota Or- chestra, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Institute Symphony Orchestra and the CBC Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

14 2012 ASAA/1st National Bank of Alaska All-State Music Festival 2012 AMEA Music Educator of the Year Mark Robinson

Mark Robinson worked for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District as a choral music specialist for 27 years. He began teaching K-12 music at Anchor Point School before he transferred in 1989 to serve as choral director for Homer High School and Homer Middle School. During his tenure at Homer High School and Homer Middle School, Mr. Robinson exposed his students to a wide variety of musical literature including (but certainly not limited to) the great classics of Western Euro- pean culture, American jazz, folk songs from around the world, and sacred songs from a variety of religions. Whenever pos- sible all songs were performed in their original language, and rehearsals included discussions of culture, history, diversity, and inspiration in addition to learning the music.

Mr. Robinson spent innumerable hours after school and on weekends recording students to give them the opportunity to compete at the borough, state, regional, and national levels, and as a result, Homer High School has always been very well represented at these festivals. He created a select choir (Swing Choir) which was involved in extensive community outreach: caroling around Homer at Christmas time, performing at Rotary events, long-term care facilities, and numerous community fundraisers and benefits. His entire high school concert choir participated in annual musicals in collaboration with Pier One Theatre. Every fourth year the choir had the opportunity to travel and perform in memorable locations such as Carnegie Hall, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Mauthausen concentration camp.

Mr. Robinson also served as artistic director for the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra for 18 years. In these dual roles, he has had the opportunity to bring the orchestra, adult community choir, and students together for a number of projects, including annual musicals, the Brahms Requiem, the Mozart Re- quiem, Orff’s Carmina Burana, and the Vivaldi Gloria. As conductor emeritus of the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra, he conducted the glorious Beethoven Symphony No. 9 during the 2011 KPO Summer Music Festival with a combined choir of 150 students and adults from all over the Kenai Peninsula.

Mr. Robinson teaches much more than musical notes though, as he emphasizes and models accep- tance, tolerance, inclusiveness, cooperation, responsibility, kindness, empathy, love of life, fair play, hard work, excellence, and self worth. Mr. Robinson’s precepts include: strive for excellence, every- one has value, all children are beautiful, music is a universal language, adult/student collaboration is a positive thing, good will triumph over evil. But overall, Mr. Robinson’s guiding principle is ‘behold how good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.’ Whatever the age group a choir led by Mr. Robinson ceases to be a group of disparate individuals and becomes a community striving for shared perfection and joy.

Mr. Robinson holds a Masters of Music degree in conducting from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. He has been invited as guest conductor of festival choirs in the state of Alaska, and has been named a BP Teacher of Excellence, KPBSD Teacher of the Year, one of four finalists for Alaska State Teacher of the Year in 2006, and Homer’s Citizen of the Year in 2002. He received the Homer Council on the Arts Art Leadership and Advocacy Award of 2006, and a Mayoral Proclamation rec- ognizing his accomplishments in May 2011. Mr. Robinson retired from the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District in May 2012. 2012 ASAA/1st National Bank of Alaska All-State Music Festival 15 This performance is being recorded by

16 2012 ASAA/1st National Bank of Alaska All-State Music Festival 2012 AMEA Music Advocate of the Year LINDA HARRIGER

Linda Harriger has worked for the University of Alaska Fairbanks Department of Music for over fif- teen years. She began in 1997 as the coordinator and main contact person for the UAF Summer Fine Arts Camp. Eventually, Linda transitioned into the administrative assistant position for the department and also became the coordinator of the current Sum- mer Music Academy and Jazz Festival. She is re- sponsible for most of the day-to-day operations of the music department, preparation work for the annual UAF Jazz Festival and Summer Music Acad- emy, reservation of department facilities, and frequent box office duties for many department ensemble performances. Between her school year position with the department and the summer position with the academy, she works most of the year making sure that music is alive and well at UAF.

Linda is more than diligent, devoting countless hours to her job. Music activities at UAF would not happen without her involvement. Having been there longer than several music professors, Linda knows the history of the department and the answer to any question that might arise. Additionally, she genuinely cares about the students she comes in contact with. Linda knows and remembers all of the music majors that have gone through the department while she has been there, and knows many of the middle and high school students who attend academy and jazz festival by name. Whenever she sees them, she always converses, asks how they are doing, and will do anything that she can for them. Quite simply, Linda is the very friendly and helpful public face of the UAF Music Department, and it is an honor to award her the AMEA Music Advocate of the Year award.
