MMEA is excited to offer another jam-packed schedule of concerts, clinics, and exhibits with outstanding ensembles, nationally recognized clinicians and music- related exhibits that we know you will find educationally rewarding and inspirational. For seventy-six years MMEA has been providing quality educational opportunities and resources for Missouri’s teachers and students to further our goal that “every student in Missouri shall have access and exposure to a well-balanced comprehensive, sequential based high quality program of music instruction, taught by fully certified music teachers.” In keeping with this time honored tradition the MMEA Board of Directors and Advisory Council have worked tirelessly to offer our membership quality professional development opportunities that are relevant to our profession today. It is with a commitment to our goal and in reverence of our past that we dedicate this conference to Mentoring~Investing in the Future. It is a goal of this conference and beyond that by building on our collective knowledge and passion we can ensure music education for all students for many years to come. Given the current climate of economic and political change in Missouri education there has never been a more opportune time to offer a support system to the next generation of music educators. Though armed with a broad in-depth course of study, graduating music education majors enter the teaching ranks and face an enormous array of responsibilities unique to the music educator. Unfortunately there is no “music teacher GPS.” It is the intention of MMEA to promote a mentoring community of experienced educators who will offer assistance to young, eager teachers as they develop their teaching skills. We often hear the expression, “It has come full circle.” Mentoring is not a circle; it is a lineage (Cramer). It is our goal to facilitate mentoring among our membership. Throughout the conference, the role of mentoring in music education will be explored from a variety of perspectives, creating a forum where opportunities for mentorship are identified and strengthened. You will see the addition of a series of new sessions to the conference schedule titled: “Student/New Teacher Sessions.” Following in the tradition of MCDA we offer these sessions as an opportunity for experienced teachers to share insight on a variety of topics. I encourage you to pay tribute to your mentor by recognizing him or her with a MENTOR ribbon that will be worn on their name badge. You can obtain these ribbons from registration. Thank your mentors for supporting and inspiring you and ask them to wear the ribbon during the conference. I look forward to MMEA each January. I appreciate the relevancy of the sessions and the marvelous concerts, but it is time spent with friends and colleagues who think as I do and enjoy the same passion for teaching that I really look forward to. Best wishes for a wonderful conference. Listen, participate and enjoy!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Gary Schneider 973-457-5724 March 15, 2013 [email protected] To the Point: Orchestra for the Next Century pays tribute to Paul Sacher in concert at New York’s Merkin Concert Hall. Orchestra for the Next Century, Gary M. Schneider, Music Director, follows up its acclaimed NY debut in February at the Ecstatic Music Festival with a tribute to the great Swiss conductor and musical philanthropist Paul Sacher in a concert on April 30, 2013 at 8:00 pm at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City. The concert features two works Sacher commissioned from Stravinsky and Martinů paired with recent works by distinguished American composers Margaret Brouwer and Paul Moravec.

  • Citymusic Cleveland Schedules Hybrid Chamber Music Concerts by Daniel Hathaway
    CityMusic Cleveland schedules hybrid chamber music concerts by Daniel Hathaway Pivoting from its customary chamber orchestra concerts, last September CityMusic Cleveland announced a series of chamber music programs curated by members of the ensemble celebrating the centenary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which decreed that “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” Initially offered as live, in-person events for a reduced audience of 100 at the Shrine Church of St. Stanislaus, the series went online after the first two programs due to the progress of the pandemic. Subsequent concerts have been streamed from the Maltz Performing Arts Center. Beginning this week, CityMusic will present pairs of performances — one in-person concert at St. Stan’s, followed by a second performance of the same program streamed from the Maltz. Executive director Eugenia Strauss noted in a press release that the chamber music format will be continued in 2021-2022, when seven groups will be invited to build programs around the themes of peace, equality, and justice, drawing largely on works by female composers and including commissioned pieces. “We hope to return to present orchestral programs in the 22-23 season,” Strauss wrote. NOTE: In-person programs will be performed at the Shrine Church of St. Stanislaus for a limited, socially distanced audience of 100 people. CityMusic Cleveland follows all Center for Disease Control and State of Ohio health guidelines with respect to the safety of our audiences and performers.

  • Beethoven with Violinist Tessa Lark (May 20) by Daniel Hathaway
    CityMusic: all Beethoven with violinist Tessa Lark (May 20) by Daniel Hathaway Surely it was just a coincidence that CityMusic Cleveland’s final series of concerts mostly duplicated works The Cleveland Orchestra had played the week before in the third concert of its all-Beethoven Prometheus Project at Severance Hall. The unique piece on CityMusic’s program was the Violin Concerto, which received a glowing performance by Tessa Lark and ​ ​ the ensemble on Sunday afternoon, May 20 in St. Noel Church in Willoughby. Music director Avner Dorman opened the program with the gloomy Coriolan ​ Overture, a piece whose dramatic rests are nearly as important as its notes. Dorman ​ kept the tension flowing between the opening chords, assisted by the lively acoustic of the modern building. A lyrical melody only temporarily brings sunlight into the piece, which ends with portentous pizzicatos. Though not the most challenging of Beethoven’s orchestral works, CityMusic embellished the overture with a patina of professionalism. A program change moved the Eighth Symphony to the center of the concert. A compact, witty piece, the work is laced with subtle Beethovenian humor and self-parody, including a scherzo-like second movement suggested (or maybe not) by Maelzel’s ticky-tocky metronome, a backward-looking minuet with an elaborate trio featuring solo clarinet plus cello and two horns (ending dangerously on a high F for the clarinet), and a wild finale that veers off into unrelated keys and almost refuses to end, inspiring one of the composer’s longest and funniest codas. Everything in CityMusic’s performance was tidily in place, but Dorman seemed content to lead a straightforward reading that passed up numerous opportunities to bring out the symphony’s special moments.

  • NO EXIT New Music Ensemble
    new music ensemble with special guest Zeitgeist January 2020 noexitnewmusic noexitnewmusic.com edwinwade 2020 NoExit New Music Ensemble from left to right; James Rhodes, Nicholas Underhill, Sean Gabriel, James Praznik, Nick Diodore, Edwin Wade, Cara Tweed, Timothy Beyer, Gunnar Owen Hirthe and Luke Rinderknecht. Since its inception, the idea behind noexit has been to serve as an outlet for the commission and performance of contemporary avant-garde concert music. Now in our 11th season and with over 140 commissions to date, NoExit is going strong in our efforts to promote the music of living composers and to be an impetus for the creation of new works. We have strived to create exciting, meaningful and thought-provoking programs; always with the philosophy of bringing the concert hall to the community (not the other way around) and by presenting our programs in a manner which allows for our audience to really connect with the experience......... free and open to the public in every sense. For our 2019-2020 season, NoExit will be welcoming a very special guest, cimbalom virtuoso Chester Englander, who will be performing with NoExit over the next two seasons as part of an ambitious project to commission and record 2 CD’s of all new work. As always, there will be more world premiere music than you can count on one hand (we have 10 new pieces planned for this season). We are particularly happy to be presenting the music of 5 very impressive and talented student composers from Northeast Ohio, representing various colleges from the area. As in past seasons, the ensemble will be participating in the NEOSonicFest, collaborating with Zeitgeist (our favorite co-consprirators) and so much more.
