Under Jerkins, who has produced stars from Michael BJackson to Lady Gaga, Gillespie shepherded the likes of TLC and Brandy to the Top 40. But when Gillespie, a classically trained pianist and composer, returned to classical music at the University of Oslo, he was disappointed. Where was the fun? Where were the fans? “It all kind of changed,” says Gillespie, “when I witnessed my first YOA concert. And it felt more like a rock concert than any symphony. The musicians were my age, they were into it. They were real people.” SOUNDS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT In 2006, Gillespie traded working with pop divas for grooming the YOA’s young instrumentalists, who come from across the Americas and range from 18 to 30, with an average age of 24. When it was founded in 2001, explains Artistic Advisor Plácido Domingo, “the dream of the YOA Orchestra of the Americas was to cre- ate an international orchestra of the best and brightest young musi- cians from across our hemisphere.” This year the YOA chose 80 musicians out of the 1000 who audi- tioned. There are no entry or participation fees. In 2009 they were among the first to audition through YouTube. The result is an incred- ibly selective process “equivalent to getting into Harvard,” says Gillespie. YOA Music Director Carlos Miguel Prieto believes the musi- cians’ youth and exceptional drive fuels “every single concert. There’s this amazing feeling of a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The orchestra plays in a way that is unforgettable for anyone present.” Prieto is also Music Director of the National Symphony of Mexico and the Louisiana Philharmonic. “I spend most of the year working with established professional orchestras,” he explains. “And they have essential skills are not often taught in conservatories, the YOA believes. their own rhythm. This orchestra is different.” And today, they are vital. For most of the talented teens and twenty-somethings, the YOA is their “Education is the fastest growing market in classical music and there first ticket to another country. They are ambassadors; after each concert, are very few schools thinking about how to prepare a top level musi- musicians unfurl their country’s flag from their music stands.

Violinist Jessy Dubé, from Saguenay, who will tour Canada with the This “social involvement is from the most grassroots level,” says YOA this summer, says performing with the YOA in 2013 helped her Prieto. Participants complete placements where they teach music, “discover that music can build a bridge between people.” She learned train local teachers and leaders, and jumpstart programs and research some Spanish on tour, as Prieto repeats everything in English and to help dissect local challenges.

  • A Pedagogical Analysis of Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op
    A Pedagogical Analysis of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 by Zhuojun Bian B.A., The Tianjin Normal University, 2006 M.Mus., University of Victoria, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Cello) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2017 © Zhuojun Bian, 2017 Abstract I first heard Antonin Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 when I was 13 years old. It was a memorable experience for me, and I was struck by the melodies, the power, and the emotion in the work. As I became more familiar with the piece I came to understand that it holds a significant position in the cello repertory. It has been praised extensively by cellists, conductors, composers, and audiences, and is one of the most frequently performed cello concertos since it was premiered by the English cellist Leo Stern in London on March 19th, 1896, with Dvorak himself conducting the Philharmonic Society Orchestra. In this document I provide a pedagogical method as a practical guide for students and cello teachers who are planning on learning this concerto. Using a variety of historical sources, I provide a comprehensive understanding of some of the technical challenges presented by this work and I propose creative and effective methods for conquering these challenges. Most current studies of Dvorak’s concerto are devoted to the analysis of its structure, melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, instrumentation, and orchestration. Unlike those studies, this thesis investigates etudes and student concertos that were both precursors to – and contemporary with – Dvorak’s concerto.
