Printed in the U.S.A. San Antonio Symphony I EDUCATION Dear Friends, As someone who is deeply passionate about symphonic music and the profound ways that it can impact us, I often get chills looking over our upcoming programming and thinking about how it might sound coming from our world-class San Antonio Symphony. I imagine how the audience will react and marvel at how those from different walks of life can experience something wonderful—together—and yet with the music also speaking to each one individually. I know that, as a patron, you experience our Symphony in ways that can be exhilarating and at times deeply moving. Music is an art form that knows few boundaries and can express even those things that can’t be said. For most, these encounters are something that we hunger for and would love to share with those we care about, including our children and grandchildren. I humbly invite you to join me in forging a renewed sense of pride in our San Antonio Symphony, not only for our subscription concert offerings, but for the vast array of education programs that we bring to the community. As our Education Director, I can tell you firsthand that these tailored initiatives have the power to open children’s eyes to a whole world they may had never dreamed of, to possibilities previously unseen and unheard, to opportunities unreachable anywhere else within their grasp. The majority of the 35,000-40,000 students that attend our award- winning Young People’s Concerts each year are experiencing the Symphony—and often symphonic music—for the very first time. Our mission with this and our other education programs: to establish lifelong learning for all ages and segments of our diverse community by promoting the enjoyment, understanding and appreciation of symphonic music. I implore you to help support our efforts to grow and refine these programs with the goal to better serve the children of our community—including perhaps your own children and grandchildren. To find out how you can do more to support our education mission, please contact my colleague Annette Paulin at (210) 554-1054 or [email protected]. I am sincerely grateful for your patronage and in advance for your consideration. Respectfully and musically yours, Jeremy Brimhall, Director of Education High School Residency Program 3 years—7 campuses and over 1000 high school music students Supporting students’ musical pursuits Forging meaningful interactions with Symphony musicians Symphony at San Antonio Public Libraries Reaching children and people of all ages Musician presentations in all 29 library branches II San Antonio Symphony San Antonio Symphony III Sebastian Lang-Lessing Music Director Noam Aviel Associate Conductor Christopher Wilkins Music Director Emeritus VIOLIN I BASS HORN Eric Gratz Thomas Huckaby Jeff Garza Elizabeth H.

The season 2019–20 starts with returns to the Tivoli Festival in Copenhagen, a recording of Mozart piano concerti in Odense with Anne-Marie McDermott. He will also return to the Korean National Opera for a new production of “The tales of Hoffmann.” 2018–19 season marked Lang-Lessing debuts with the Orchestre symphonique de Quebec and Odense Symfoniorkester, and returns to the Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock, Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy, and an immediate re-invitation with the Korean National Opera conducting Guillaume Tell. Lang-Lessing was Chief Conductor of the Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy and Artistic Director of the Nancy Opera, which, under his direction, was promoted to Opera National de Lorraine. From 2004 until 2011, Mr. Lang-Lessing was Music Director of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, which grew to become one of the leading orchestras in the Pacific Rim. With this orchestra, Sebastian Lang-Lessing built a comprehensive, award-winning discography, especially of Classical and Romantic repertoire. He appears regularly as guest conductor with leading French orchestras including the symphony orchestras of Bordeaux and Toulouse, as well as with leading orchestras in North America such as the Vancouver, Cincinnati, and Milwaukee Symphonies, and European orchestras including regular appearances with the Copenhagen Philharmonic and the symphony orchestras of Gran Canaria, Malaga, and Palermo. Lang-Lessing, who received the Ferenc Fricsay Award when he was twenty-four years old, began his career at the Hamburg State Opera. Based on Sebastian’s work as assistant conductor to Gerd Albrecht in Hamburg, legendary stage director and opera manager Gotz Friedrich engaged him as Resident Conductor at Deutsche Oper Berlin. Today, Sebastian Lang-Lessing regularly appears with the leading opera companies of the world, including those in Paris, Hamburg, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, Oslo, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. His operatic repertoire is exceptionally wide, with seventy-five works ranging from Baroque to contemporary opera. Maestro Lang-Lessing led the Philharmonia Orchestra in the 2013 recording performance for Renee Fleming’s Guilty Pleasures album (Decca). Other notable recordings have included the complete symphonies of Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Schumann with the Tasmanian Symphony, and the sensational re-discovery of the works of Joseph-Guy Ropartz with the Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy. Late 2017 saw the release of the DVD of his critically acclaimed production of Der Rosenkavalier from the NCPA in Beijing, and of a Christmas CD with Pavel Sporcl and the Royal Liverpool Orchestra. Lang-Lessing has been at the forefront of educational programming for classical music with a younger audience, an area in which he has shown great passion and commitment with orchestras throughout the world.

    La Leyenda de MOVIELAND; Historia del Cine en el Estado de Durango (1897 - 2004) Antonio Avitia Hernández México, 2005 Introducción De manera casi tan fortuita y tan veleidosa como los criterios y las posibilidades económicas de las compañías cinematográficas, de los productores y de los directores de cine, algunos paisajes naturales del estado de Durango han sido seleccionados como escenario del rodaje de diversas películas. Hasta donde se ha podido investigar, entre los años de 1897 a 2004, se han filmado un total de doscientos setenta y ocho (278) cintas en la entidad. De éstas, treinta (30) son de la época del cine silente, producidas entre 1897 y 1936. Noventa y ocho (98) son de formato de ocho, super ocho y dieciséis milímetros, independientes, así como filmes documentales científicos, antropológicos y culturales, entre otros. Con respecto al cine industrial, ciento cincuenta (150) han sido los filmes rodados en territorio durangueño entre los años de 1954 a 2004. Los objetivos principales de esta historia del cine en Durango son: hacer el recuento cuantitativo y cronológico, la ubicación histórica, la reseña de las sinopsis argumentales, las fichas filmográficas y la relación de los personajes y locaciones sobresalientes de las películas rodadas en la entidad, así como describir la impresión que, en el imaginario colectivo regional, ha tenido el cinematógrafo, en tanto séptimo arte e industria cinematográfica. De manera colateral, hasta donde ha sido posible, se hace referencia a la suerte de los filmes en lo que respecta a su distribución. En el primer capítulo El cine silente en Durango se hace el recuento, sinopsis argumental, situación histórica y establecimiento de los treinta filmes del periodo silente rodados en la entidad, desde el arribo de los enviados de Edison en 1897 hasta la cinta documental de propaganda política laudatoria, grabada por encargo del gobernador del estado coronel Enrique R.
