A COMMUNITY SUPPORTED ORCHESTRA

PRESENTS Longwood Symphony Orchestra Ronald Feldman, Music Director

August 16, 2017 7 pm at the DCR’s Hatch Shell Dear Concertgoer,

We are thrilled that you have chosen to spend a summer evening with us at the DCR’s Hatch Memorial Shell on the banks of the for one of our 2017 series of free orchestral concerts. Last year, we celebrated our 15th anniversary as The Landmarks Orchestra, and this year, we celebrate our 10th anniversary performing at this iconic and historic venue on The Esplanade.

Our mission is to make orchestral music free and accessible to everyone in the greater Boston community, and visitors from near and far. We are proud of our Music Director Christopher Wilkins’s artistic integrity and musical leadership, as well as his “strategy of participation” to engage with community partners from all over our city, and youth and adults in every Boston neighborhood.

We have grown fond of repeating the phrase “our concerts are free, but they are not free to produce!" The members of our orchestra are among Boston’s finest, most highly trained professional musicians. We provide the best sound engineering possible for our venue. And we invest significantly in our education and community outreach programs and our community partnerships.

To the extent that you are able, and you believe in what we do, we hope that you will consider making a tax-deductible gift to support our concerts. We are proud to be a community supported orchestra and we couldn’t do what we do without you!

Please enjoy the evening, and we hope to see you again soon.

Sincerely,

Laura Connors Jo Frances Meyer Chair, Board of Trustees Executive Director Boston Landmarks Orchestra Christopher Wilkins, Music Director

The Boston Landmarks Orchestra is committed to BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS to access for people with disabilities. It offers braille, large-print, and text-to-speech programs, assisted listening devices, and ambassadors to greet and assist people at a handicapped drop-off point. The Orchestra works with American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters as performers at select concerts. Rather than providing direct translation of the spoken word, interpreters communicate the feeling of the music and the remarks given during the concert. In 2014, in recognition of its efforts to embrace inclusiveness as core to its mission, the Boston Landmarks Orchestra was named an “UP organization” by the Cultural Council, one of only 32 organizations (and the only orchestra) in the Commonwealth to receive this distinction to date.

Uniquely positioned at the crossroads of music and medicine, the LONGWOOD SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA was established in 1982 and holds a distinctive role in Boston’s cultural landscape. Since the early 1980s, the orchestra has presented public concerts at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, and since 1991, each concert has raised money for a different Community Partner, benefiting underserved populations throughout the Greater Boston region.

Nationally recognized for its musical quality, innovative programming, and unique model of community engagement, the orchestra’s members are primarily healthcare professionals from Boston's leading hospitals and universities, including doctors, medical students, research scientists, nurses, therapists, and caregivers−many of whom pursued music studies before turning to medicine. For more information about the Longwood Symphony Orchestra, please visit www.longwoodsymphony.org. Twice winner of the American Symphony League’s ASCAP Award for Adventuresome Programming of Contemporary Music, RONALD FELDMAN has achieved critical acclaim for his work as conductor and cellist. He has appeared as guest conductor with major orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, , Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Saint Louis Symphony, and Quebec Symphony.

In August of 2016 Mr. Feldman recorded three albums of music by Kevin Kaska with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Mr. Feldman joined the Boston Symphony at the age of 19. He has appeared as cello soloist with many orchestras performing a wide range of concerto repertoire from Dvorak to Ligeti. His many chamber music affiliations have included performances with the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, Collage New Music Ensemble, the Boston Conservatory Chamber Players, and the Williams Chamber Players. His performances include collaborations with artists Peter Serkin, Emmanuel Ax, Garrick Ohlsson, Gil Shaham, and Yo Yo Ma.

After successful appearances as guest conductor for three consecutive seasons at Symphony Hall and at Tanglewood, the Boston Symphony’s summer home, composer and Conductor appointed Mr. Feldman Assistant Conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra. He served as assistant to John Williams from 1989-1993.

In addition to the Longwood Symphony Orchestra Mr. Feldman currently directs the award-winning Berkshire Symphony, the orchestra in residence at Williams College. Mr. Feldman is on the faculties of the Berklee College of Music and Williams College where he is Artist in Residence, Lecturer in Music, Chamber Music coordinator, and Conductor of the award-winning Berkshire Symphony.
