—Kicking off the 2015-2016 Guild year—

September General Luncheon Meeting

Greensboro Country Club, Wednesday, September 16, 2015, 11:30 a.m.

Program: An entertaining ballroom dance demonstration by Carolyn Woodruff

Presentation of The Bravo Award

Entrée: Sweet Corn Soup with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis, a Petite House Salad &

a Chicken Salad Sandwich on Whole Wheat Bread.

On May 18th, 1996, the

first Symphony Guild Super

Sale was held in the Fellowship

Hall of Christ United Methodist

Church. This new fundraiser

was the brainchild of Guild

President Becky Brown. It

provided an opportunity for

Guild members and others, who

might have been moving house

or down-sizing homes and pos-

sessions, to clean out their clos-

ets and attics. At the same time,

it provided an opportunity for

members of the community to

find good deals on gently used

clothing, furniture and house-

hold goods.

Once again, in April 2016,

the Guild will be sponsoring

another Super Sale. We are

proud to announce that Becky

Brown has agreed to be the

Honorary Chairwoman.

Thanks, Becky, for beginning a

tradition in which everybody

wins!

Greensboro Symphony Guild Presents

Big Band, Bourbon & Blandwood

What’s this?

Can’t guess? See page 5

Step back in time

to an era unlike

any before in

Greensboro’s his-

tory—a time when

the sounds of big

band jazz filled the

air—when a na-

tion, weary from

years of Prohibi-

tion, eagerly im-

bibed the best in

bourbon and other

American spirits—

when men and

women alike gath-

ered on the lawns

of America’s great

historic homes—

and when evenings were filled with sumptuous fare, dancing under the stars in chandelier-lit clear

top tents, and the lively bidding of friends as they jostled for a variety of fabulous prizes.

You too can recreate the magic from 7-11 p.m. on Saturday, October 10 at the Greensbo-

ro Symphony Guild’s signature fundraising event Big Band, Bourbon & Blandwood. Make plans

to attend—see all the details on page 2.

I am pleased and honored to welcome all of our members back to

the 2015-2016 Guild season. Following an exciting 50th Anniversary

year, we embark upon another wonderful opportunity to celebrate

the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, to bring an appreciation of

music to thousands in our community and to increase our support of

music education throughout the Piedmont Triad. Music education

for all will be foremost in our activities as we dedicate our service

and resources toward our theme for this year, “Music –Learning for

Life”. Our Annual Education Campaign, led by Frances Vinoski

and Kathie Amato will add important funding to increase our music

education support.

Our year will begin on a festive note at our September 16th luncheon

as the excitement and anticipation builds for our upcoming Big

Band, Bourbon & Blandwood Fall Signature Event. The luncheon will highlight special

features of the event with several surprises in store for all. Hospitality Chairs for this year

will be Karen Claypool, Sandra Ennever, Renay Pugh and April Parker, with Dorry

Tooke assisting with programs.

Mark your calendars for October 10th as we all gather at the Blandwood mansion for

an evening of dancing under a chandeliered tent, tasting great bourbon and a time for

community gathering at this incredible venue. Raffles and auction items are sure to add to

this amazing event ably chaired by Laura Green and Kristie Smith.

November will bring our first couples/singles evening at Fink’s Jewelers. Co-

sponsored by Fink’s and First Citizens Bank, we will have an evening of sharing food,

drink and good friendships as we’re treated to a cooking demonstration and invited to

participate in the fun with Reto’s Home Cuisine. Be sure to join us!

New to the Guild for this year, we will offer two Musicale Sundays, chaired by Mitz-

ie Weatherly, Gayle Koonce and Brenda Glenn in December and April. These gather-

ings will feature the Giannini Brass Quintet in December at the beautiful new home of

Pam Stearns. A musical program of seasonal pieces as well as jazz and will get us in the

mood for the Holidays. Watch for the April 3rd program selections in future newsletters.

This year, at our 38th Annual Symphony Presentation Ball, twenty four lovely and

talented young ladies will be presented on December 28th. An incredible evening has been

planned by Chair Beverly Wright, along with Honorary Chair Suellen Milton and their

committee, and they welcome your attendance.

April 23rd will bring us to another time honored tradition – the biennial Super Sale.

Collections have already begun and Nancy Beaver, Elizabeth Craft, Karen Hundgen

and Vanessa Skenes are working hard to bring you the best items for your shopping

pleasure. We are pleased to name Becky Brown as our Honorary Chair for the event.

Our annual Tennis Tournament will take place on May 5th chaired by Olivia Gilles-

pie and Sherri Hill. After the hugely successful tournament in 2014, we look forward to

another day sharing Guild activities with the community and swinging those racquets!

Take a few moments and be sure to check out our new and improved website,

www.gsoguild.org. This is a great way to keep in touch with all Guild activities, upcom-

ing events and interesting features. Check us out! Many thanks to Ann Mueller and

Peggy Hamilton for their dedicated service in updating our site.

I look forward to continuing the traditions of the Greensboro Symphony Guild and

looking toward new possibilities with each of you throughout the coming year. Music

matters!

The 2015 Greensboro Symphony Debutantes have had an exciting summer.

The summer began with a Mother/Daughter Luncheon which was held at the

O. Henry Hotel on May 12 and was hosted by the Symphony Guild. The

Debs were treated to dinner on May 14 at the home of Guild member,

Dianne Pusch. Her daughter and former SPB Deb, Kelly Pusch, shared her

Presentation Ball experience with the young women. On May 31, the Guild

hosted a picnic for the Debutantes and their families.

The Debutantes gathered on June 7 at Greensboro Country Club to

participate in a fitness class hosted by the Apple, Bohrer, Bowling, Dudkiewicz, McCurry and

Stoehr families. A Summer Dance party at High Point Country Club was hosted by the Apple,

Barker, Bohrer, Byerly, Harris, McClement, Regeis, Smir, Robbins and Yates families on July

25. The Debs enjoyed dancing the night away to beach music. They used the occasion to also

collect children’s books and games to donate to a local children's hospital.

The Debs showed their artistic side at the Paint Your Perch Party where they decorated

stools for use at the Symphony Presentation Ball. The party, held on July 26, was hosted by the

Harrill, Lee, Priddy and Simons families.

The Debs and their parents will enjoy a Night at the Symphony on September 26. The Debs

will be recognized prior to the concert.

—Gifts—-

The Guild gratefully

acknowledges

a gift from

Alice & Woody Pearce In memory of Charles Irvin, Jr.

It's time for our Music in the Mid-

dle (MIM) school concerts on

Tuesday, October 6 and Wednes-

day, October 7, with the oppor-

tunity for all Guild volunteers and

members to see how our fundrais-

ing dollars are working within the

Greensboro Symphony Orchestra

and the community. It's a wonder-

ful event to be a volunteer, get to

know new Guild members in a

smaller setting and see the smiles

of children's faces (as seen in pho-

to of an earlier MIM). The Guild

contributes $6,000 for this concert, along with additional financial support from both Lincoln

Financial Foundation and Greensboro Day School. All Guilford County seventh grade students

attend one of these performances. Tickets to the performances are also available to private

school and homeschool groups.

Resources provided The concerts present both traditional and contemporary repertoire and aim to expand stu-

dents' ideas of orchestral music. GSO provides resources for students and teachers at the be-

ginning of the school year to enhance the listening and learning experience. It also includes

materials related to the concept of the program, so when students see the onscreen oscilloscope

and Nate Beversluis talks about waveforms, students understand, because the prep materials

go into detail about waveforms and the science of sound. This year's program is titled "The

Science of Sounds".

Peter Zlotnick, GSO Education Manager and Nate Beversluis, GSO Resident Conductor

have done a wonderful job in developing the education concert series, "Music in the Middle"

and "Elementary School" Concert Programs, which together reach nearly 50,000 students in

Guilford and surrounding counties.

Volunteers Guild volunteers will be on hand to help direct and seat these students for two perfor-

mances each day. It's a wonderful morning for students to be able to attend a full orchestra

symphony concert. For many, it’s a once in a lifetime event. Many older residents of Greens-

boro still share memories of attending these concerts during their school days; a tradition that

has been in existence for more than 30 years. Please consider volunteering to help one morn-

ing by contacting the MIM Chair, Linda Wilson.

Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra Auditions

The Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra Auditions Committee feverishly prepared for

August 28-30 auditions at the Greensboro Cultural Center. This effort is coordinated by GSO

Education Manager Peter Zlotnick and a host of volunteers who welcome, guide and assist

both novice and experienced young musicians throughout their auditions. Students between the

ages of six and eighteen vie for a position in one or more of five GSYO ensembles.

All musicians must audition every new season regardless of their previous placement.

Search greensborosymphony.org, click on Education and Outreach and select Youth Orchestra

in the menu to read about musical opportunities available to aspiring talent, under the direction

of Nate Beversluis. Celebrate the energy and resolve of these young artists who already realize

that “Music Matters”. Andrea Zimmerman is Youth Orchestra Auditions Chair; Co-Chairs

are Rosemary Reed, Barbara Sanders and Julene Valitutto.

MUSIC IN THE MIDDLE What it’s all about

Association (SOVA) will hold its annual

ROUNDTABLE October 6-7, 2015 at

Time to get involved Time. As a Volunteer you give

time—the most precious resource in our

lives. Your time volunteering must be

valued, but we can never put a value on

that time. How can you value some-

thing that is priceless?

Some things just belong togeth-

er….YOU and the Guild. ENERGIZE.

Get active by volunteering at an event

or attending an event.

Nancy Beaver’s Pitcher This beautiful Cabbage Leaf pitcher lives in my

home right now, but come Super Sale, it will be at

the Bill Black showroom ready to sell. I have loved it

when it contained ice tea, lemonade and Sangria, but

it’s time someone else has all the fun. Until Super

Sale, it will wait politely in my garage, with its

“friends”, the 10-year-old Ralph Lauren jacket and

my son’s putter. If I find too many “friends”, I will

call for a pick up so they can wait in our wonderful

new storage unit. You can bring all your treasures

there, too. Just give us a call! Nancy Beaver,

Elizabeth Craft, Sandy Weston, Karen Hundgen,

Vanessa Skenes.

Community Relations Offers Revised Presentation

The Guild's Community Relations Co-Chairs are pleased to announce a revised

Speakers Bureau presentation, outlining the history and accomplishments of the

Greensboro Symphony Guild. This presentation is appropriate for community

organizations as well as businesses.

If you have suggestions for presentation opportunities or would like to preview

the production, please contact: Josie Gibboney or Andrea Alemanni.

An introduction to the Guild’s new state-of-the-art website.

Computer guru Peggy Hamilton will cover a different feature of

the site each month. Be sure to watch for it.

Now that summer is behind us, how about spending a few

minutes looking at our new website? About a year ago, a

team of Guild members and web geniuses from I.T.Worx began working in earnest to

design a user-friendly site. The end result is a wonderful tool that keeps us informed

and connected.

What we like about our new website is how easy it is to use. This is the go-to

place to learn about our many activities and upcoming events. Each event has its own

“page” with detailed information pertaining to it. You’ll be able to learn everything

you need to know about an upcoming event. The calendar for the entire Guild year is

even on the site!!

You can use our website to pay for all Guild activities – from luncheons to

membership dues, events and donations. You can even fill out an application for

membership – online!

Our Guild does so much to support music education in our community, and our

many programs are described in the education section. Take a look at what we do -

the many scholarships we provide and the numerous ways that we support students,

schools and musicians.

One feature we enjoy so much is the “Past Events” page. Here, we have a re-cap

of an event that occurred in the past with a link to photos – just in case you missed it!

Spend a few minutes looking at our website – you’ll love how it is filled with

great information. We hope we’ve made it easy for you. In our next newsletter, we’ll

talk about a few more handy and useful features.

Imagine what we will be able to

accomplish with $5,000 in extra

money enhancing music education.

Only two months in to the Annual

Education Campaign, we have raised

$5,000 (well, $4,875, to be exact) in

additional monies to spend on educa-

tion. This represents participation by

slightly over one third of the Guild’s

membership. We are delighted by

and deeply appreciative of this re-

sponse.

There is still ample time to par-

ticipate in the Annual Education

Fund if you have not done so, as the

campaign runs through December.

You may send your donation in to the

Guild office or donate at Guild meet-

ings throughout the fall. We are look-

ing forward to taking the fund to an

even higher level.

Monies raised through the Annu-

al Education Campaign will be used

for currently unmet education needs

that have arisen through the com-

bined effects of rising costs and in-

creased demand. Funds will go to

support a range of activities, includ-

ing scholarships, tuition, summer

music camp, private music lessons,

and the second high school partner-

ship program. Activities funded

through the Annual Education Cam-

paign will be selected by Guild lead-

ership, with all monies raised going

directly to meet those specified areas

of need.

The following list recognizes

donations made as of July 31. Once

again, we deeply appreciate the par-

ticipation of the individuals noted

here. Our thanks go out to each of

you. It is exciting to imagine how this

generosity will make a meaningful

difference in the lives of the musi-

cians we support through our educa-

tion programs.
