Multivariable calculus and music harmonize perfectly for Theodoretus Breen, 17. For six weeks this summer, the Pine View School senior is concentrating on the latter as one of 35 gifted musicians selected from all over the world for participation in the Perlman Music Program on Shelter Island, N.Y. “I want to make a career out of music,” Breen said a few days before departing for New York, “and I would if I were a soloist — that would be my highest aspiration.” In case that doesn’t work out, he is hedging his bets with math, a subject at which he may be equally gifted. As a senior he will study multivariable calculus and differential equations, which he said is a higher level course than any of the Advanced Placement math courses offered. “AP only goes to calculus AP,” Breen said.

ed for the AP courses, is about 4.6, he said. But music is his main interest. Breen said nearly everyone in his family, on both sides, has artistic talent but he is the only musician. “I started playing bass in fifth grade,” he said. “I was 10 or 11.” In sixth grade he played cello. He was living in Maryland at the time. When he was 12, his family moved to Sarasota and he entered Pine View in the seventh grade.

Inspiration At Pine View he met David Cobb, who is the principal bassist with the Venice Symphony. Before moving to Venice, Cobb was the principal bassist with the Albany Symphony and a professor of music at State University of New York at its Albany campus. “He is my inspiration,” Breen said. “He saw I had talent and nourished it.” Today, the student, who also plays in the Sarasota Orchestra Youth Philharmonic, sits next to his instructor in the Venice Symphony. “I had my instructor right there in an actual setting,” he said, “demonstrating that this is how you do it.” Cobb also was responsible for the Perlman connection. Breen attended the Perlman Winter Residency program in Sarasota. The year Breen was in eighth grade, Cobb went over to principal bassist Rachel Calin during a break and asked if Breen could play a little bit on her bass. When she heard him play, she told him there was no reason that he would not fit in there with the other stu- dents. This year, again because of Cobb, Breen had a private audition with Calin for the summer program. He was told he would hear the outcome in February and was nervous because the specific day came and went. But the following Monday he got word that he was selected for the summer program. A gift from the Perlman Music Program/Sarasota and Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice sealed the deal, providing the funding nec- essary for Breen’s participation in the six-week program, as well as the cost of transporting him and his bass, which, in its hard travel case weighs more than 100 pounds. A double bass is not a carry-on instrument. It was trucked to Tampa the day prior to his June 18 flight and will need to be trucked back to Venice when Breen returns at the end of the month. Please see MUSICIAN, 2B

The Perlman Music Program/Sarasota is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization formed in July 2008 for the express purpose of ensuring a permanent home for the Perlman Music Program Winter Residency in Sarasota. The board of directors, executive director and dozens of volunteers are responsible for operations of the intensive two-week residency in late December hosted on the campus of University of South Florida Sarasota/Manatee. Activities include 17 free public events and a celebration concert and dinner. The Perlman Music Program/Sarasota is supported through funds raised throughout the year and at the gala dinner the night of the celebration concert.
