The petitions urge the admini- stration to recognize music and the arts as mandatory subjects. While recognized as core subjects under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA - formerly known as “No Child Left Behind”), which is currently up for reauthorization, music programs are being cut nationwide due to shrinking education budgets. Music educators represented by MENC: The National Association of Music Education were joined by celebrities, Herbie Hancock, Charles Sanders and Quincy Jones students and elected officials in an effort to at the 2009 Leadership in Music Symposium change this trend, encouraging the Administration and Congress to revise 2 ESEA to ensure music and the arts are attendance rate (90.2 percent compared to mandatory core subjects for all students so 72.9 percent and 93.3 percent compared to these programs will continue to receive 84.9 percent, respectively).

    HighNotes is brought to you by the Evanston Symphony Orchestra for the senior members of our community who must of necessity isolate more because of COVID-!9. The current pandemic has also affected all of us here at the ESO, and we understand full well the frustration of not being able to visit with family and friends or sing in soul-renewing choirs or do simple, familiar things like choosing this apple instead of that one at the grocery store. We of course miss making music together, which is especially difficult because Musical Notes and Activities for Seniors this fall marks the ESO’s 75th anniversary – our Diamond Jubilee. While we had a fabulous season of programs planned, we haven’t from the Evanston Symphony Orchestra been able to perform in a live concert since February so have had to push the hold button on all live performances for the time being. th However, we’re making plans to celebrate our long, lively, award- Happy 75 Anniversary, ESO! 2 winning history in the spring.

    Music in Concert with the Landscape There are music festivals and there are music festivals. Then there is the Moab Music Festival – a mélange of musical programming set in one of the most splendid landscapes on earth. Old and new music – chamber music, vocal music, jazz, traditional music – performed by outstanding musicians in a setting of form, color, and light that creates an unmatched artistic experience… Music in Concert with the Landscape. The Festival Founded in 1992 by Michael Barrett and Leslie Tomkins, prominent musicians based in New York, the Festival gathers world-class instrumentalists and vocalists annually to celebrate vibrant music in an awe-inspiring landscape. An ever- expanding audience comes from all parts of the United States and from Europe to enjoy this unique combination of sight and sound. Composers range from Bach to Bernstein, from Ravel to Rorem, from Dvorák to Danielpour. One performance may feature a vocalist celebrating a French chanteuse; the next a chamber ensemble performing Brahms; then a jazz ensemble playing with a Latin flair; then an exploration of contemporary music by the season’s Composer-in-Residence, who will be present to discuss his or her work. For patrons, the three weekend fall festival – which in 2003 won ASCAP’s coveted award for “Adventurous Programming” in the music festival category – is a potpourri of musical offerings performed by dynamic, highly accomplished musicians. In June, the Festival offers a four day “Musical Adventure” benefit raft trip with performances held at scenic sites along the Colorado River. Many concerts take advantage of the remarkable environment and are set outdoors in unique settings – under a pavilion along the Colorado River, in a tent under towering rock monoliths, in a park sheltered by the shade of an ancient cottonwood.
