Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC YOUNG PEOPLE’S CONCERTS MUSIC WITH AN ACCENT: “FIESTA” Saturday, April 13, 2013 Assistant Conductor Case Scaglione To Lead Spanish-Inflected Works by Bizet, Falla, Lalo, Rodrigo, and Magnus Lindberg Violinist Simone Porter and Guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas To Perform The third New York Philharmonic Young People’s Concert (YPC) of the 2012–13 season will take place Saturday, April 13, 2013, at 2:00 p.m., led by Philharmonic Assistant Conductor Case Scaglione. Designed for ages 6 to 12, the series is hosted by Philharmonic Vice President, Education, Theodore Wiprud, The Sue B. Mercy Chair, and written and directed by Tom Dulack. “Fiesta” — part of this season’s series, Music with an Accent, which examines how composers have expressed various cultures through the orchestra — will explore music evoking Spain by Spanish, French, and Finnish composers. The program includes music by Bizet, Falla, Lalo, Rodrigo, and former Philharmonic Composer-in-Residence Magnus Lindberg and will feature violinist Simone Porter, in her Philharmonic debut, and guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas as soloists. All YPCs are preceded by Kidzone Live!, an interactive music fair at which children meet Philharmonic musicians, create and hear their own music, try out orchestral instruments, and explore the day’s theme on the Grand Promenade and upper tiers of Avery Fisher Hall at 12:45 p.m. A special podcast for children is available at nyphil.org/ypc beginning one week before each YPC, as is TuneUp, the children’s concert program, complete with activities related to the event. The next and final YPC program in this season’s Music with an Accent series is “World’s Fair,” Saturday, May 25, 2013. Artists American-born New York Philharmonic Assistant Conductor Case Scaglione was named the 2011 Solti Fellow by the Solti Foundation U.S. — an honor awarded only three times in the foundation’s history. He recently finished his tenure as music director of the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra of Los Angeles, where he also founded 360° Music, an educational outreach program that brought the orchestra to inner-city schools. His programs spanned works (more) Young People’s Concert / 2 from Beethoven and Wagner to the Los Angeles premiere of John Adams’s Doctor Atomic Symphony, which was supported by a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts. Mr. Scaglione was a student of David Zinman at the American Academy of Conducting at Aspen, where he won the James Conlon Prize and the Aspen Conducting Prize, which led to his Cleveland Orchestra debut in July 2010. Following his studies in Aspen, Mr. Scaglione was invited to serve as assistant conductor of the Aspen Music Festival and School, where he led a wide range of performances and served as cover conductor for all orchestral performances. A frequent guest assistant and cover conductor with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and David Robertson, he has also assisted at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Baltimore Opera, and he has conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl alongside Bramwell Tovey. In the summer of 2011 Mr. Scaglione was one of three Conducting Fellows at Tanglewood, chosen by James Levine and Stefan Asbury. A native of Texas, Case Scaglione received his bachelor’s degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music. He spent his post-graduate studies at the Peabody Institute, where he studied with Gustav Meier. He made his Philharmonic debut conducting the Young People’s Concert on November 12, 2011. As part of the 2012–13 season-closing series, Gilbert’s Playlist, Mr. Scaglione will conduct the New York Philharmonic in Stravinsky’s Ragtime and Shostakovich’s Tahiti Trot May 31–June 1 on a program that also includes Music Director Alan Gilbert conducting Copland’s Clarinet Concerto with Acting Principal Clarinet Mark Nuccio and Wynton Marsalis’s Swing Symphony (Symphony No. 3) with the composer and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

He hosts both the School Day Concerts and the Philharmonic’s Young People’s Concerts, including on international tours. Previously, Mr. Wiprud created educational and community-based programs at the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, and the American Composers Orchestra and worked as a teaching artist and resident composer in a number of New York City schools. Earlier, he directed national grant-making programs at Meet the Composer, Inc. Mr. Wiprud is an active composer whose works are published by Allemar Music and whose Violin Concerto (Katrina) was released on Champs Hill Records in the fall of 2012. He holds degrees from Harvard and Boston Universities and studied at Cambridge University as a visiting scholar.

This is his eighth season writing and staging the Young People’s Concerts for the New York Philharmonic. His plays are presented on- and off-Broadway, in leading regional theaters around the country, and have been translated into foreign languages around the world. They include Solomon’s Child, Diminished Capacity, York Beach, Just Deserts (cq), 1348, Shooting Craps, and Friends Like These. Notable directors and playwrights with whom he has collaborated are Jack O’Brien, Alan Ayckbourn, Chris Hart, and John Tillinger. Mr. Dulack’s five books include the novel The Stigmata of Dr. Constantine and the theater memoir In Love With Shakespeare. He is currently writing a new play and is working on the libretto of a one-act opera based on Robert Browning’s (more) Young People’s Concert / 3 poem “My Last Duchess.” A member of the Dramatists Guild and The Writers Guild of America, he also is professor of English at the University of Connecticut, where he teaches Shakespeare and playwriting on the Waterbury Campus. Sixteen-year-old violinist Simone Porter made her professional debut at age ten with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, and has since performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Northern Sinfonia, and the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong, among others ensembles. During the 2012–13 season Ms. Porter made her debut with the Reno Philharmonic and American Youth Symphony, and performed recitals in Salt Lake City, Miami, and Central California. Upcoming engagements include debuts with the Utah, Glacier, Pasadena, and Albany symphony orchestras. Past performances of note include appearances on NPR’s From the Top and the popular national American Public Media radio program Performance Today. In 2008 Ms. Porter opened a ceremony honoring the Dalai Lama in Seattle. She studies in Los Angeles at the Colburn Young Artist Academy with Robert Lipsett, and she has attended the Aspen Music Festival and School. Simone Porter was selected as the 2011 Davidson Fellow Laureate, which carries with it a $50,000 scholarship to further her musical education. She plays on a 1742 Camillus Camilli violin on generous loan from The Mandell Collection of Southern California.

  • ANNUAL REPORT, 2016/17 Season Come As You Are
    ANNUAL REPORT, 2016/17 Season Come as you are. Leave inspired. Dear Friends, How can I begin to tell you what a wonderful experience I had in my first season with the American Youth Symphony? The orchestra itself was a thrill to lead; each and every Fellow brings their best to every rehearsal and concert. I particularly loved working with our two Concerto Competition winners, Coleman Itzkoff and Rachel Ostler, who wowed audiences with their poise and artistry; and conducting rock-and-roll legend Steve Vai and Stravinsky’s monumental The Rite of Spring at Walt Disney Concert Hall is a moment I will never forget! This year, there is so much that I look forward to sharing with these musicians, and you, our audience. Richard Strauss’ Don Juan is without a doubt one of the most exciting tone poems ever written, the perfect piece to set the tone for our opening concert, along with Shostakovich’s historic 12th Symphony, and Bruch’s lyrical Violin Concerto, featuring this year’s Concerto Competition winner, Aubree Oliverson. Then, later this fall, I can’t wait to explore John Williams’ masterful E.T. score at our annual Hollywood Project concert! In February, AYS will begin 2018 by honoring the great Leonard Bernstein, as part of his centennial celebration. We then look forward to returning, once again, to the LA Phil’s Sounds About Town series, for a concert with legendary pianist Vladimir Feltsman in March. April will find us commemorating another successful AYS season with a very special Gala concert, sponsored by the NEA and presented in partnership with Human Rights Watch.
