In general, the new process would delegate much more authority to the campus for project approval, and would limit project-specific review by The Regents to very large and complex projects. Each campus would prepare a set of ‘framework’ plans that outline its capital investment strategy and physical design approach. Once those plans are approved by The Regents, then as long as a project meets certain thresholds, and conforms to the framework plans, it could be approved by the Chancellor, subject to a 15 day review by OP. One of these thresholds is dollar value: the currently proposed figure is $60 million or less. The framework plans for Berkeley include 3 documents: • The 2020 Long Range Development Plan provides a land use policy framework, within which projects can be prioritized and planned.

    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.

Our Queers Destroy Science Fiction! Kickstarter campaign has now concluded, and we’re happy to report that it was extremely successful; we asked for $5,000 and got $54,523 in return, which was 1090% of our funding goal. As a result of all that success, we unlocked several stretch goals, including additional special issues Queers Destroy Horror!, which will be published in October as a special issue of Nightmare, and Queers Destroy Fantasy!, which will publish in December as a special issue of Fantasy Magazine. Thanks again so much to everyone who supported the campaign, and thanks of course to our regular readers and subscribers! And, next year, we’re planning to ask People of Color to destroy science fiction, so stay tuned for that! • • • • Awards season is officially upon us, with the first of the major awards announcing their lists of finalists for last year’s work, and we’re pleased to announce that “We Are the Cloud” by Sam J.
