2 • Pacific Symphony

E levating the marriage between music and animation, Walt disney’s Fantasia made history in the world of motion pictures when it was released in 1940 at the Broadway theater in new

York. originally conceived as a way to boost Mickey’s popularity as part of Silly Symphonies, the iconic scene of Mickey Mouse in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice became a full-length film after Leopold Stokowski, the music director for the Philadelphia orchestra, got involved. Meeting by chance at chasen’s restaurant in Hollywood, disney presented the cartoon to Stokowski, and he was so thrilled by the idea that he volunteered to conduct the music for free. With Stokowski’s encouragement, six more classical masterworks were selected and recorded by the Philadelphia orchestra. then unheard of, disney animators interpreted the music through moving images of broomsticks, unicorns, ostriches and more that are still known and loved today.

DID YOU kNOw…?

fantasia

• Walt disney began his career in Kansas city, where he set up the “Laugh-o-Gram” studio to make short animated films.

• the character of Mickey Mouse was first introduced in 1928 in the seven-minute Steamboat Willie and was the first cartoon with synchronized sound.

• Animators secretly based elements of the Sorcerer in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Walt disney—the raised eyebrow being the give-away. the character was named Yen Sid, which spelled backward is “disney.”

• the original recording process for the score used 33 microphones recorded on eight machines—in a process called “Fantasound.”

• At its initial release in theaters, disney and Stokowski considered spraying fragrance in the audience to enhance the experience, such as jasmine for “Waltz of the Flowers,” cereus for “claire de Lune” and gunpowder for “the Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” but later abandoned the idea.

• In 1982, the music for Fantasia was digitally re-recorded by conductor Irwin Kostal. While he matched most of his performance to the tempos of the Stokowski recordings, he chose to use Mussorgsky’s original orchestration of “night on Bald Mountain,” which is said to be much fiercer than the version Stokowski chose.

• to achieve realism in the ballet scene “dance of the Hours,” disney took his animators to the Los Angeles Zoo to collect ideas. He also hired the Ballet russe de Monte carlo to model and serve as a live-action reference.

fantasia 2000

• Fantasia 2000 was created by disney’s nephew, roy E. disney, as a sequel to the first. It premiered at new York’s carnegie Hall on dec. 17, 1999, before appearing in theaters.

• Production began in 1990, but it took nine years to make because each segment was produced individually during production lulls between other features.

• the first film of the new millennium, it was also the first animated feature-length film to be shown in IMAX.

• Mickey Mouse in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is the only scene that appears in both films.

• A “hidden Mickey” can be found in Pomp and Circumstance. After the rain stops and the animals come onto the deck of the ark, Mickey and Minnie Mouse are standing on the roof.

• the music for this film was recorded by James Levine and the chicago Symphony orchestra.

• the rain seen during Pomp and Circumstance is the same rain that was filmed and used in The Rite of Spring during the 1940 version.

• Watercolor animation was used for the first time (in a traditionally animated feature) during Carnival of the Animals.

c A r L meet the music director

I n 2014-15, Music director carl St.clair celebrates his landmark 25th anniversary season with Pacific Symphony, making him the longest tenured music director, still active, of any orchestra in the united States. St.clair’s lengthy history solidifies the strong relationship he

has forged with the musicians and the community. His continuing role also lends stability to the organization and continuity to his vision for the Symphony’s future. Few orchestras can claim such rapid artistic development as Pacific Symphony—the largest orchestra formed in the united States in the last 40 years—due in large part to St.clair’s leadership.

during his tenure, St.clair has become widely recognized for his musically distinguished performances, his commitment to building outstanding educational programs and his innovative approaches to programming. Among his creative endeavors are: the vocal initiative, “Symphonic Voices,” inaugurated in 2011-12 with the concert-opera production of La Bohème, followed by Tosca in 2012-13, La Traviata in 2013-14 and Carmen in 2014-15; the creation five years ago of a series of multimedia concerts featuring inventive formats called “Music unwound”; and the highly acclaimed American composers Festival, which celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2014-15 with a program of music by André Previn.

St.clair’s commitment to the development and performance of new works by composers is evident in the wealth of commissions and recordings by the Symphony. the 2014-15 season continues a recent slate of recordings that has included three newly released cds by today’s leading composers: richard danielpour’s Toward a Season of Peace, released in 2013-14, Philip Glass’ The Passion of Ramakrishna, and Michael daugherty’s Mount Rushmore and The Gospel According to Sister Aimee, both released in 2012-13. two more are due for release over the next few years, including William Bolcom’s Songs of Lorca and Prometheus and James newton Howard’s I Would Plant a Tree. St.clair has led the orchestra in other critically acclaimed albums including two piano concertos of Lukas Foss; danielpour’s An American Requiem and Elliot Goldenthal’s Fire Water Paper: A Vietnam Oratorio with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. other composers commissioned by the Symphony include Goldenthal in a world premiere in 2013-14, as well as earlier works by Bolcom, Zhou Long, tobias Picker, Frank ticheli and chen Yi, curt cacioppo, Stephen Scott, Jim Self (Pacific Symphony’s principal tubist) and christopher theofandis.

In 2006-07, St.clair led the orchestra’s historic move into its home in the renée and Henry Segerstrom concert Hall at Segerstrom center for the Arts. the move came on the heels of the landmark 2005-06 season that included St.clair leading the Symphony on its first European tour—nine cities in three countries playing before capacity houses and receiving extraordinary responses and reviews.

From 2008 to 2010, St.clair was general music director for the Komische oper in Berlin, where he led successful new productions such as La Traviata (directed by Hans neuenfels). He also served as general music director and chief conductor of the German national theater and Staatskapelle (GntS) in Weimar, Germany, where he led Wagner’s Ring Cycle to critical acclaim. He was the first non-European to hold his position at the GntS; the role also gave him the distinction of simultaneously leading one of the newest orchestras in America and one of the oldest in Europe.

In 2014, St.clair assumed the position as music director of the national Symphony orchestra in costa rica. His international career also has him conducting abroad several months a year, and he has appeared with orchestras throughout the world. He was the principal guest conductor of the radio Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart from 1998 to 2004, where he completed a three-year recording project of the Villa–Lobos symphonies. He has also appeared with orchestras in Israel, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, new Zealand and South America, and summer festivals worldwide.

In north America, St.clair has led the Boston Symphony orchestra (where he served as assistant conductor for several years), new York Philharmonic, Philadelphia orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic and the San Francisco, Seattle, detroit, Atlanta, Houston, Indianapolis, Montreal, toronto and Vancouver symphonies, among many.

A strong advocate of music education for all ages, St.clair has been essential to the creation and implementation of the Symphony’s education programs including Pacific Symphony Youth Ensembles, Sunday casual connections, oc can You Play With us, arts-X-press and class Act.

In 2000, violinist nancy Eldridge was teaching at Lobo Elementary in San clemente. one of her students, Halle, was so enthralled with nancy’s playing that she asked her parents for violin lessons. Halle began to study with Pacific Symphony violinist dana Freeman, also a class Act musician. After years of study and hard work, she auditioned for and was accepted into Pacific Symphony Youth orchestra.

Halle’s passion for music continued to grow and she eventually made the decision to study music at oberlin conservatory, Eldridge’s alma mater. during her time at oberlin, Halle was an education and community engagement intern with Pacific Symphony and graduated with a degree in music performance in 2014. Halle hopes to one day form a community music school and pass on the gift of music education.

Two decades of extraordinary experiences for Students

the Frieda Belinfante class Act program has served over 200,000 students since 1994, making a lasting impact on school communities through workshops, lessons, assemblies and concerts at the renée and Henry Segerstrom concert Hall. Each year students explore a new composer and theme, and work closely with a new Pacific Symphony musician.

As Erin Kominsky, a national distinguished Principal of the Year and principal of Weaver Elementary in Los Alamitos shares, “our high academic standing is a direct result of providing extraordinary experiences for our students. the class Act program is by far, one of the most enriching ‘extraordinary’ experiences at Weaver. our participation has become part of our culture. the class Act team has become part of the Weaver family. I couldn’t think of having a school year without our partnership with the Symphony.”

class act celebrates its 20th anniversary, and carl St.clair’s 25th anniversary, with the music of Leonard Bernstein and the theme, “Sharing the Joy of music!”

Class Act’s curriculum is aligned with both VAPA and Common Core standards and schools are accepted through a yearly application process. For more information about Class Act, please contact Carrie Villanueva: cvillanueva@pacificsymphony.org.

happy 20th anniversary class act!

I n the opening months of 1994, parents from seven orange county elementary schools sat around a table and discussed their hopes and dreams for music in their children’s lives.

Guided by then-Education director Kelly ruggirello and ardent Pacific Symphony supporter Valerie Imhof, this group of visionaries conceived a unique partnership between Pacific Symphony and local school communities. Class Act was born!

Pacific Symphony musicians would serve at the heart of this new and exciting partnership. Parents, teachers and administrators at seven inaugural schools would also play an important role, each bringing their own unique contribution to the program.

from dream to Reality

In September 1994, class Act went from being a beautiful dream to a vibrant reality. three Pacific Symphony musicians joined the team as the program’s first teaching artists. cynthia Ellis, flute; Andrea Honea, cello; and Michael Hoffman, trombone stepped off of the concert stage and into the classroom!

“We had just played excerpts of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony for a kindergarten class and when asked how it made them feel, a young girl stood up and said quite loudly, ‘It makes me feel angry,’” relates Ellis, remembering one of her first lessons at St. Joseph’s School in Santa Ana. “the school’s teachers started scurrying around, the principal came flying in, and all the other kids started buzzing. Kelly and I thought it was a little unusual, but it wasn’t until later that we learned that it was the first time this autistic child had ever spoken in class. Something in the music unlocked something in her, making it safe for her to talk.”

the experience not only served as a pivotal moment for the kindergartner, but also for Ellis. “As an artist, you don’t get a lot of direct feedback. on that day, the music gave that child a key and from that experience I made the shift as a teacher from worrying about the presentation to actively seeking out how the kids were accepting the material.”

The gift of music

the excitement of class Act quickly caught on and the program grew, adding teaching artists and expanding its reach to schools across orange county.

S u P P o r t legacy giving

Friends with Foresight

E very year, we receive news of new “legacies” created by the thoughtful planning of our donors who include Pacific Symphony in their estate plans. through a bequest in a Will or

Living trust, donors can make a gift to provide future support from their estate. these gifts are beautiful expressions of appreciation and support for Maestro carl St.clair and for the mission of the Symphony, its musicians and its programs.

While some planned gifts are designed to meet current needs, many of these legacy gifts provide resources for tomorrow. For example, our Endowment sets in place an assortment of enduring funds that address the ongoing needs of Pacific Symphony now and into the future. the Endowment principal is kept intact, and only the interest or a portion of it is available for use each year, guaranteeing interest income indefinitely for support.

Another example is through our charitable Gift Annuities that provide resources to Pacific Symphony when the annuity recipient’s life income payments are completed. this type of gift is a useful tool for tax and estate planning, which gives the donor or other beneficiary a guaranteed current or deferred income for life, and can be designed in ways to meet the donor’s needs and goals.

Some donors, who have achieved financial security for their later years and whose children have grown and left home, may find that they no longer need the amount of life insurance that was necessary when their families were young. A donation of the unneeded insurance policy to Pacific Symphony can result in a significant income tax deduction for the donor and a very generous Legacy Gift at the end of life.

All of these Legacy Gifts express foresight, meaning: “care or provision for the future, provident care, prudence.” the friends who make these gifts understand that the future may hold unusual challenges as well as new, unexpected opportunities, and they want Pacific Symphony to be able to financially meet those demands.

We appreciate our friends who stick by us year after year with annual contributions and special gifts. We could not exist without them. We also want to honor those donors who look into the future and address the unseen needs that lie before us as Pacific Symphony grows and evolves as a very special organization serving our community. Your gifts provide resources and confidence in a bright tomorrow.

there are many ways to support the mission of Pacific Symphony through a Legacy Gift, which can also offer an effective solution to a donor’s challenges in tax or estate planning, and may provide a life income for the donor, as well. Legacy Gifts qualify a donor for recognition in the Marcy Mulville Legacy Society, our group of special people who are friends with foresight.

our experienced director of Legacy Giving Martha Farrington, J.d., will be pleased to talk with you about your goals for supporting Pacific Symphony and the ways in which a gift might be accomplished in a manner that will meet your needs and provide resources for the Symphony in the future. She can also provide you with materials explaining some of these Legacy Gift options upon request, and show you how you, too, can demonstrate your foresight with a meaningful gift and become a member of the Marcy Mulville Legacy Society.

You can reach Martha Farrington J.D., director of legacy giving, at (714) 876-2342, or by email at: mfarrington@pacificsymphony.org.
