  • Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: a Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 15, 2018 (2) Materials of the First International Conference on Music Education in the Community “Traditions, Challenges and Innovations,” Tel-Aviv – Jerusalem, May 14-17, 2017 Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: A Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus Abstract: This presentation focused on the current trends in the implementation of educational concerts of symphony orchestras. The aim was to collect, organize and present innovative approaches on how to design enjoyable educational concerts for students and provide them with memorable experiences. Data was collected from orchestra websites, reports, books and published thesis and doctoral dissertations. Results show that educational concerts are usually designed by a conductor often in collaboration with the director of the music education department of an orchestra. Teacher and student resources, and teacher training are provided to prepare the students for the experience. The choice of repertoire depends on the learning objectives of each concert, but the musical tastes and needs of the students should always be taken into consideration. The students are actively engaged in various ways during the concert. Assessment of educational concerts is carried out and the results are used internally for improvement of future concerts. Keywords: educational concerts, symphony orchestra, trends Introduction Many symphony orchestras include in their annual programs educational concerts for students in collaboration with schools to educate the audience of the future and enrich the services they offer to the public. At the same time, educational concerts are an important part of the music curriculum in education and give students the opportunity to gain additional experiences, while interacting with the community they belong to.

  • 100 Years of Extraordinary Historical Highlights from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Archives
    100 Years of Extraordinary Historical Highlights from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Archives 1910s 1915 – Through a $6,000 grant from the city of Baltimore, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is founded as a branch of the city’s Department of Municipal Music, making it the only major American orchestra to be fully funded as a municipal agency. 1916 – On February 11, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs its inaugural concerts to a standing- room-only crowd at The Lyric, under the direction of Music Director Gustav Strube. All three concerts comprising the first season at the Lyric are sold out. 1920s 1924 – On February 16, the BSO hosts its first children’s concert. The Baltimore Symphony youth concert series is the first to be established by an American orchestra. 1926 – The Baltimore Symphony makes its initial broadcast performance on WBAL Radio. 1930s 1930 - George Siemonn becomes the second music director of the orchestra. He conducts his opening concert, with the musicians now numbering 83, on November 23. 1935 - In late February, George Siemonn reluctantly resigns as music director and is replaced by Ernest Schelling. Forty-four musicians apply for the position. Schelling is well-known for his children’s concert series at Carnegie Hall. 1937 - Sara Feldman and Vivienne Cohn become the first women to join the Baltimore Symphony. The older members of the orchestra are supportive, but union members picket the hall with signs saying, “Unfair to Men,” which is reported in the New York Times. 1937 - Ernest Schelling becomes ill and is replaced by Werner Janssen. The dynamic young conductor and his wife, the celebrated film star Ann Harding, receive an enthusiastic response when they arrive in Baltimore.
