    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: June 13, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] NUVEEN INVESTMENTS EMERGING ARTIST VIOLINIST JULIA FISCHER JOINS THE CSO AND RICCARDO MUTI FOR JUNE SUBSCRIPTION CONCERTS AT SYMPHONY CENTER June 16 – 21, 2016 CHICAGO—Internationally acclaimed violinist Julia Fischer returns to Symphony Center for subscription concerts with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) led by Music Director Riccardo Muti on Thursday, June 16, at 8 p.m., Friday, June 17, at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, June 18, at 8 p.m., and Tuesday, June 21, at 7:30 p.m. The program features Brahms’ Serenade No. 1 and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D Major with Fischer as soloist. Fischer’s CSO appearances in June are endowed in part by the Nuveen Investments Emerging Artist Fund, which is committed to nurturing the next generation of great classical music artists. Julia Fischer joins Muti and the CSO for Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Widely recognized as the first “Romantic” concerto, Beethoven’s lush and virtuosic writing in the work opened the traditional form to new possibilities for the composers who would follow him. The second half of the program features Brahms’ Serenade No. 1. Originally composed as chamber music, Brahms later adapted the work for full orchestra, offering a preview of the rich compositional style that would emerge in his four symphonies. The six-movement serenade is filled with lyrical wind and string passages, as well as exuberant writing in the allegro and scherzo movements. German violinist Julia Fischer won the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition at just 11, launching her career as a solo and orchestral violinist.

  • Youth Orchestra Participation and Perceived Benefit
    australian asociety s for mumsic Youth orchestra participation and e ducatio en incorporated perceived benefit: A pilot study of the Tasmanian Youth Orchestra William J Baker Faculty of Education, University of Tasmania Anne-Marie Forbes School of Creative Arts and Media, University of Tasmania Jennifer Earle PhD Candidate, University of Tasmania Abstract Formed in 1965, and now including around 150 players and seven ensembles, the Tasmanian Youth Orchestra (TYO) is the oldest state-based youth orchestra in Australia. This paper presents the findings from a 2018 survey of TYO participants, as one part of a broader qualitative pilot project into the perceived benefits of participation in TYO. Using inductive thematic analysis techniques researchers identified the following four themes from these data, which, in order of significance, are that participation in their TYO group: 1) was strongly identified as an embodied and emotional experience; 2) enables the development of specific, identified musical skills; 3) contributes to the making of, and maintenance of, important friendships; and 4) results in the development of non-musical skills such as personal organisation and learned social skills. The research team also found that many respondents demonstrated “growth mindset” thinking (Dweck, 2006) and resilient behaviours, perhaps indicating that there may be something in their experience that enables them to employ these characteristics in their learning in TYO groups. Funding has been provided to extend this research beyond the pilot stage to develop research informed resources to support learning and teaching for resilience in youth Arts organisations. Keywords: Youth music; group music; ensemble; learning through music; growth Introduction opportunities in later life; although a different narrative is now emerging about this approach Following the success of youth orchestra programs (see for example: Baker & Frega, 2018; Bergman, such as El Sistema, founded by José Antonio Lindgren & Saether, 2016).

Gefördert von: VORWORT WILLKOMMEN BEIM DOT 2019 Wir begrüßen Sie herzlich zum 17. Deutschen Orchestertag 2019! Im vergangenen Jahr haben wir den zweiten Tag unserer Konferenz zum ersten Mal für Orchestermusiker*innen geöffnet, damit der Orchestertag zu einem Forum für Aus­ tausch, Dialog und dem besseren gegenseitigen Verstehen für Management und Musiker wird. Das konstruktive und positive Feedback bestätigt uns darin, diesen Prozess in diesem Jahr fortzuführen. Neben praktischen Aspekten der Digitalisierung wie etwa Apps und Technik, die das Konzerterlebnis bereichern, und den Chancen von digitalem Noten­ material für den gesamten Theater­ oder Orchesterbetrieb legen wir einen deutlichen Schwerpunkt auf die Fragestellung: Was ist das Orchester der Zukunft? Was ist die Zukunft der Orchester? Gemeinsam mit dem Dirigenten Iván Fischer, Mitgliedern der Jungen Deutschen Philharmonie und anderen Impulsgebern möchten wir überlegen, wie ein Orchester aussehen könnte, das (noch) nicht den Zwängen des Arbeitsalltags und unseren verfestigten Vorstellungen von Orchesterleben unterworfen ist. Am Sonntag werden wir uns wie üblich der Fortbildung widmen. Mit unserem bewährten Premiumpartner der Mannheimer Versicherung haben wir für die gleich­ namige Akademie erneut ein Programm zusammengestellt, das wertvolle Impulse für den Orchestermanagement­Alltag zu den Themen New Work und Agiles Management gibt.
