That being said, I will sincerely miss the camaraderie that is the soul of the event. I hope that the synthesis sessions at the end of each day will help to fill that hole a little and provide an opportunity for members to interact with each other and share the ideas and little successes each of us has come up with in the past 12 months that are a bonus to the innovation, information and suggestions 2021 Virtual Conference that the clinics provide. January 28-30, 2021 Time is running out for pre-registration for the 2021 Clinic/Conference. If I am looking for positive out- comes to a virtual conference it is that no one will stand in line for registrations, look for a seat that might provide a quick exit in case the session goes long, or find ways to park around the Broadmoor that does not involve a parking ticket or parking garage fees. The conference has a mixture of pre-recorded clinics and live sessions, all of which will be available for viewing and reviewing for the following 12 months. This will be a different opportunity when thinking about what was presented in a clinic and being able to go back and find that details that did not make your notes or memory. Please give the conference the benefit of the doubt this year for being put together in a shorter than normal amount of time in a new and quickly emerging medium. We hope that our efforts will be an asset your teaching in this crazy historic time. I would like to say a special thanks to the following directors, schools and students who took the leap of faith and submitted an audition for performance at the conference: Jonathan Colson, Rocky Ford Jr/Sr High, Concert Band; Thalia Burd, Erie High School, Topaz and CR5; Christopher Loesel, Lutheran High School, Jubilate Choir; Dan Bell, Cheyenne Mountain Junior High, Symphonic Band; Bryce Melaragno, Lakewood High School, Chamber Orchestra; A. J. Wulf, Liberty High School, Chamber Singers; Keith “Life seems to go Farmer, Grandview High School, Jazz Ensemble I; Tim Libby, Cherry Creek High School, Wind Ensemble; Todd Dicamillo, Thomas B Doherty High School, Odyssey. Unfortunately, performances were not an on without effort aspect of this year’s conference but I want to let them know how much everyone on the CMEA Board of Directors appreciated them doing what it takes to prepare a conference audition. I sincerely hope that each when I am filled and every one of these groups prepare an audition for 2022. with music.” I hope to see you in the virtual world in a couple weeks! ~ George Eliot Kevin Beaber CMEA President Colorado Music Educator Winter 2021 Colorado Music Educator Winter 2021 4 5 Diversity, Equity, Enclusivity, and Access Task Force Diversity, Equity, Enclusivity, and Access Task Force, continued By Cynthia Eversole, CMEA President-Elect By Cynthia Eversole, CMEA President-Elect Narrative Submission CMEA is committed to listening, growing, and learning to ensure all people see themselves, hear them- January 9, 2021 selves, and find meaning in music education. Attending sessions and difficult discussions are a start. We Cynthia Eversole are at the beginning of a long journey but we do know that nothing is going to happen unless each one of us President Elect makes a full commitment to change. Exec Rep on DEIA Task Force It has been a humbling experience to work alongside such inspiring and thoughtful colleagues. If you are CMEA forms Task Force for Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity, & Access interested in supporting the work of this task force, you are asked to reach out to me at [email protected] The events of this past year leave each of us with an enormous amount of reflec- tion while grounding our souls in our own truths. From the climax of racial tension due to the death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Cynthia Eversole countless others emerged an overdue creation of the DEIA Task Force within our CMEA organization (Diversity Equity Inclusivity Access).

    8 knoxville symphony orchestra WELCOME FROM OUR MUSIC DIRECTOR Dear KSYOA parents and friends, Welcome to our Winter Concerts, where we once again celebrate our superb orchestras with two concerts. Our orchestras and Chamber Music Program are enjoying a wonderful year of growth with great music, rehearsals, and concerts. On February 17th, the Preludium, Philharmonia, Sinfonia, and Youth Chamber Orchestra perform, with the YCO welcoming KSO Principal Horn Jeffery Whaley as soloist, performing the complete Horn Concerto No. 1 of Wolfgang Mozart. Our February 24th concert features the Youth Orchestra, along with the winners of the 2019-2020 Concerto Competition: Miriam Ahrens, and Trey Barrett, bassoon—both of whom are Youth Orchestra members! Additionally, as we eagerly look forward to our trip to Prague and Vienna this summer, music heard on this evening’s performance will be part of our involvement in the Beethoven 250 Orchestra Festival. The Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus will celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven’s anniversary, while music from Bizet’s L’Arlesienne suites will anchor our performances in Europe. Our final concert will be April 27th, with all six of our orchestras together again on that program. Many thanks to the Knoxville Symphony League who support our endeavors financially and through volunteer time. You might have seen their faces as you purchased a ticket in the lobby this evening. Richard Fox and Ralph Cianelli have supported these two concerts for many seasons. Richard is the Vice President of Education for the Knoxville Symphony Society Board and his support of music education in our community is truly admirable.

Endless performance and academic possibilities. All within an affordable public university setting ranked the number five college town in America.* Come see for yourself how the University of Iowa School of Music composes futures...one musician at a time. To apply, or for more information, visit music.uiowa.edu. *American Institute for Economic Research, 2017 MUSIC.UIOWA.EDU The past year has been difficult for everyone, and we know that for many families, incomes have been reduced or become more unpredictable. To ensure that every CYSO family—no matter their financial situation—can enjoy this fall's performances, we've replaced our normal ticketing with a pay-what-you-can donation. This fall's virtual performances will debut on Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 7:00 pm CST. For those who are able, the suggested donation is $40 (the equivalent of $10 per ticket for a family of four) to access all fall performance videos. Visit cyso.org/concerts to purchase your tickets. If you cannot afford a ticket donation at this time, simply fill out the form with a $0 amount to receive the performance link at no charge. Though we wish we could gather in person, this fall's virtual format does allow for loved ones to watch our young musicians perform from anywhere. We encourage you to share the link to cyso.org/concerts with friends and family and invite them to "attend" the concert debut with the CYSO community on December 19! As always, tution only covers about 40% of the cost of our programs.
