Conductor ROBERT COOPERMusic Felix Mendelssohn was a child prodigy and in manhood prodigiously talented He almost single-handedly

raised the art of the conductor to interpreter of works and led the way in establishing the ideal situation for professional orchestras by insisting on fair pay schedules for musicians He was largely responsible for the revival of Bachrsquos choral works especially after he conducted the St Matthew Passion at the Singakademie in Berlin in 1829 Mendelssohn composed overall more than 100 works including symphonies concertos chamber music songs and choral music but in his oratorio Elijah we can see his love of opera

Biography One of Canadarsquos foremost choral conductors Robert Cooper is currently Artistic Director of Chorus Niagara Orpheus Choir of Toronto the Opera in Concert Chorus and the Faculty of Music Womenrsquos Chorus University of Toronto Mr Cooper has had the honour of conducting the National Youth Choir of Canada and made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1997 for a Celebration of Canadian Choral Music He has conducted symphony orchestras in Ottawa Halifax Winnipeg Edmonton and London (ON) opera companies in Victoria Ottawa and Winnipeg leading choirs across Canada major Festivals such as St Johnrsquos Festival 500 Festival of the Sound Stratford Festival Algoma and Guelph Festivals many provincial youth choirs including the Ontario Youth Choir guest engagements with community choirs as well as productions for Toronto Operetta Theatre and Opera in Concert

Acknowledged as an innovative programmer Mr Cooper has commissioned and premiered many new works by both Canadian and international composers Mr Cooper recently left CBC Radio Two after 31 years of bringing fine choral music and operatic performances to all of Canada as Executive Producer of Opera and Choral Music He has served as President of the Ontario Choral Federation and the Association of Canadian Choral Conductors served on the Board of Directors of Chorus America and is currently on the Advisory Committee for the International Federation for Music

In addition to his busy schedule with his choral organizations Mr Cooper was guest conductor most recently for Ottawarsquos Thirteen Strings Chorus Niagararsquos performance of Bachrsquos Mass in B Minor Iolanthe for Toronto Operetta Theatre and will conduct the Haydn Creation Mozart Mass in C Minor and Bachrsquos St John Passion in this season Robert Cooper is the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from Brock University for his significant contribution to the Canadian choral community and is a member of the Order of Canada

CONCERTS OBITUARY RUTH MECHANICUS1926-2009

Ruth had a long life which included many and varied interests - music being but one She was the consummate volunteer In almost from the beginning of CAMMAC Southern Ontario region (now Toronto) she took over for a year as Administrator from the founder of our first Ontario Music Camp having spent several weekends touring Ontario looking for an appropriate site she served on the local (acting as President Co-President and folder of the Newsletter) and National Boards she supported many CAMMAC special occasions offering accommodation sustenance or whatever was needed

She attended the camp at Lake MacDonald and wherever the Ontario camp was situated she either attended or visited from its beginnings in Lake Rosseau to its present location in Lakefield

Ruth loved to sing and to celebrate her 70th birthday gave a recital at the Heliconian Club in Toronto She was an ardent supporter of the Toronto Chamber Choir Tafelmusik Toronto Consort among others

In her home during her final illness she was cared for round-the-clock by dedicated friends including Nora Mular-Richards a longstanding CAMMAC member until the time came to move into the Grace Hospital where she died peacefully on May 21st

On May 29th a Service of Thankskgiving for her life was held at Bloor Street United Church where she served as an elder and which was attended by CAMMAC members from both Toronto and Ottawa regions

Once more CAMMAC OMCrsquos sensational music program has inspired and transformed us opening us up once again to the great joy of music making Congratulations to Artistic Director Michael Occhipinti and to the outstanding faculty that he assembled to Administrator Annie Jaeger and above all to our participants who made the two weeks such a success

Jamming with the faculty (Week 1) and square dancing (Week 2) got everyone in the swing of music making on Sunday evenings Faculty performed early in the week providing inspiration from the professionals early on A ldquobuzzrdquo was felt right from the start as performance energy fed into course sessions and vice versa Members of The Sicilian Jazz Project and The Cedar Cross Quartet provided a focus for each week Thursday eveningsrsquo energetic concerts provided a boost to carry everyone through to the Saturday concerts

Our 32nd session brought many new participants as well as several returning after a few yearsrsquo absence This yearrsquos

Participants came for a week and left full of inspiration to nourish their music activities during the coming year
