GREETINGS AND HAPPY 2016

is an Arabic word pronounced ldquotawahhadrdquo It means ldquouniterdquo With some communities pulling apart at the seams over a variety of issues we all need to know that word and hear it in whatever language helps us understand

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works in neighborhoods throughout the year providing afterschool programs senior engagement series and an intergenerational neighborhood concert series and coordinating community activation and beautification projects that focus on music and the arts We choose the language of music to unite people by showing them their similarities while honoring their uniqueness We believe that all communities all our neighbors all people need and deserve beauty and compassion We created Music Unites to embody that idea

CMI has changed tremendously over the last two years We are so proud of the journey and we continue on a path to be more representative of the diverse community we serve

Thanks to the generous support of the Efroymson Family Fund Music Unites will launch with the capstone project Enliven Indy With ongoing community input we are selecting four geographic areas where we will focus our work for 2016 We will continue our work throughout central Indiana while deeply investing in these 4 areas Thanks to incredible support from all our foundation partners we will continue celebrating our cityrsquos diverse neighborhoods and people through the music and public activation offered through Music Unites

We are resolved to aid in uniting communities by highlighting beautiful and diverse peoplemdashone neighborhood at a time CMI continues on-air online and in the community and we need your help as we grow Be a donor be an advocate be a kind and compassionate person and be united Thank you for enjoying NOTE and supporting our work

If yoursquove ever watched a newly mobile toddler bop to musicmdashautomatically without calculationmdashyou know that people are hard-wired to enjoy and respond to music This is what makes utilization of music in early learning so natural Whether you are an avid reader or not literacy skills are essential to a successful life and the earlier a young person can be given this foundation the better Exploration of music-making through basic instruments and singing can help develop pre-reading skills including rhyme and rhythm Fluency can first be introduced by playing with song pace Providing a solid base of musical play encourages future word play and enjoyment of reading Those who take this a step further and engage in music training reap even more ongoing brain benefits learning to play an instrument is proven to increase verbal memory and intelligence and helps us make deeper cognitive connections while reading

A lot of attention seems to be paid to early reading skills and use of music to enhance learning during the preschool and elementary years The impact of music on teenagers is just as fascinating We know that music is central to an adolescentrsquos expression of identity determination of place and role amongst

CONNECTING MUSIC LITERACY AND LIFELONG LEARNING

ldquo Music can hugely affect literacy Indy Reads students are all adults For many itrsquos not just a struggle with reading but they feel alienated with culture in general We take students to concerts and for many of them itrsquos the first time theyrsquove ever heard live music While it can be difficult and confusing at times they really love itrdquo

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

ldquo When you hear a great symphony it gets your mind moving You can go to all kinds of places Thatrsquos also how I feel about poetryrdquo

ldquo While listening to music images come to your mind or a mood is created All music tells a storyrdquo

READING LISTAt CMI we deeply value the important correlation between music learning and literacy Our Music Unites suite of community programs facilitates lifelong learning and provides opportunities for youth and adults to experience music in meaningful ways From Afterschool Indy to the Senior Concert Series we are finding powerful ways to improve the lives learning skills and enrichment experiences of all ages and backgrounds through the power of music

In honor of National Reading Month and the tie between music and literacy here are a few great music-themed books for all ages

FEBRUARY BLACK HISTORY MONTH

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

LOCAL amp NATIONAL MUSICIANS TO EXPLORE

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

17

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ITrsquoS A WOMANrsquoS WORLDA FEW POWERHOUSE MUSICIANS WHO ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE WOMEN

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

ldquoMy grandpa plays the bass and used to play for me In fifth grade I tried three instruments and the bass felt the best to play I love that itrsquos uniquemdashnot a lot of people play it I mostly play classical pieces I love Bach I like the sound and the rhythm of his music and how the notes fit together Irsquom proud that music is one of my talents When I feel upset I play It usually helps me calm down If I were giving advice to other girls who want to pursue music I would say Never give up If itrsquos too tough take it one piece at a time Think about what yoursquore doing for yourself and for others Music makes a lot of people happyrdquo

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

THE NATURE CONSERVANCY OF INDIANA Mary McConnell

Accomplishment ldquoWe are inspired by the amazing places we have been part of protecting throughout Indianamdashnow more than 100000 acres We know our work will benefit our children in their lives as well as the lives of their children and grandchildrenrdquo

Earth Month ldquoEVERY month is Earth Month for The Nature Conservancy But April is an extremely busy time for us We have volunteer workdays at many of our preserves and of course wersquoll participate in the Earth Day Indiana Festival Look for bison hatsrdquo

Music ldquoI think itrsquos nearly impossible to walk through a forestmdashBig Walnut Nature Preserve west of Indianapolis for examplemdashand not be overwhelmed by the sounds of the trees rustling in the wind bird calls or insects chirping Nature is full of beautiful musicmdashyou just have to listen Whenever I hear a flock of sandhill cranes flying by with their distinctive loud calls I have to rush outside and look for them That to me is some of the most beautiful music on the planetrdquo

RECONNECTING TO OUR WATERWAYSCorrie Meyer

Accomplishment ldquoReconnecting to our Waterways is a collective impact We are not a for profit or not for profit We are just a group of people sitting around the table trying to get things done in the city We host a creative place-making conference annually where we look at how we can creatively improve the areas along our waterways We also host a ROWport which is a report on our progress throughout the year Our educational programs are run through our partners which include IUPUI Butler and the White River Alliancerdquo

EARTH CHARTER INDIANAJim Poyser

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

Accomplishment ldquoWith a strong foundation in knowledge our organization is willing to be candid about the statersquos leading environmental challenges We are bold in addressing those challenges whether through an outreach campaign a blitz of key lawmakers or when all else does not prevail a lawsuitrdquo

Music ldquoBeautifully-crafted music has been a powerful force in social movements across history We are intentional about weaving music into our work When we had our first ever awareness-building bike ride (ldquoRide for the Moundsrdquo) we capstoned the day with a performance by a wonderful local bluegrass bandrdquo

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

If yoursquove ever watched a newly mobile toddler bop to musicmdashautomatically without calculationmdashyou know that people are hard-wired to enjoy and respond to music This is what makes utilization of music in early learning so natural Whether you are an avid reader or not literacy skills are essential to a successful life and the earlier a young person can be given this foundation the better Exploration of music-making through basic instruments and singing can help develop pre-reading skills including rhyme and rhythm Fluency can first be introduced by playing with song pace Providing a solid base of musical play encourages future word play and enjoyment of reading Those who take this a step further and engage in music training reap even more ongoing brain benefits learning to play an instrument is proven to increase verbal memory and intelligence and helps us make deeper cognitive connections while reading

A lot of attention seems to be paid to early reading skills and use of music to enhance learning during the preschool and elementary years The impact of music on teenagers is just as fascinating We know that music is central to an adolescentrsquos expression of identity determination of place and role amongst

CONNECTING MUSIC LITERACY AND LIFELONG LEARNING

ldquo Music can hugely affect literacy Indy Reads students are all adults For many itrsquos not just a struggle with reading but they feel alienated with culture in general We take students to concerts and for many of them itrsquos the first time theyrsquove ever heard live music While it can be difficult and confusing at times they really love itrdquo

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

LOCAL amp NATIONAL MUSICIANS TO EXPLORE

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

CONNECTING MUSIC LITERACY AND LIFELONG LEARNING

ldquo Music can hugely affect literacy Indy Reads students are all adults For many itrsquos not just a struggle with reading but they feel alienated with culture in general We take students to concerts and for many of them itrsquos the first time theyrsquove ever heard live music While it can be difficult and confusing at times they really love itrdquo

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

17

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

If yoursquove ever watched a newly mobile toddler bop to musicmdashautomatically without calculationmdashyou know that people are hard-wired to enjoy and respond to music This is what makes utilization of music in early learning so natural Whether you are an avid reader or not literacy skills are essential to a successful life and the earlier a young person can be given this foundation the better Exploration of music-making through basic instruments and singing can help develop pre-reading skills including rhyme and rhythm Fluency can first be introduced by playing with song pace Providing a solid base of musical play encourages future word play and enjoyment of reading Those who take this a step further and engage in music training reap even more ongoing brain benefits learning to play an instrument is proven to increase verbal memory and intelligence and helps us make deeper cognitive connections while reading

A lot of attention seems to be paid to early reading skills and use of music to enhance learning during the preschool and elementary years The impact of music on teenagers is just as fascinating We know that music is central to an adolescentrsquos expression of identity determination of place and role amongst

CONNECTING MUSIC LITERACY AND LIFELONG LEARNING

ldquo Music can hugely affect literacy Indy Reads students are all adults For many itrsquos not just a struggle with reading but they feel alienated with culture in general We take students to concerts and for many of them itrsquos the first time theyrsquove ever heard live music While it can be difficult and confusing at times they really love itrdquo

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

HOLOGRAPHIC Daniel Wohl in Concert

A Concert presented in partnership with the IMA and Classical Music Indy

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6 730 PMIndianapolis Museum of Art

The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host Daniel Wohl on Saturday February 6th for a performance of Holographic in partnership with Classical Music Indy The performance will take place in The Toby at the IMA at 730 pm and will be the Midwest debut of Holographic This performance is one in a series of collaborations between the IMA and CMI to present new experimental music

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

created for the city of Indianapolis Works are available to download and stream at httpssoundcloud

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

Described as ldquoExotic buoyant and sophisticated with a cinematic flair for musical story-tellinghelliprdquo David Arburyrsquos Alchemy is a beautifully eclectic collection of musical creations that serve to chronicle a decade of the composerrsquos many works and collaborations The collection includes some of Arburyrsquos most compelling pieces written for a variety of performers and contrasting styles

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

THURSDAY APRIL 7 6-9 PM Indianapolis Museum of Art

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

HOLOGRAPHIC Daniel Wohl in Concert

A Concert presented in partnership with the IMA and Classical Music Indy

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6 730 PMIndianapolis Museum of Art

The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host Daniel Wohl on Saturday February 6th for a performance of Holographic in partnership with Classical Music Indy The performance will take place in The Toby at the IMA at 730 pm and will be the Midwest debut of Holographic This performance is one in a series of collaborations between the IMA and CMI to present new experimental music

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

Accomplishment ldquoWith a strong foundation in knowledge our organization is willing to be candid about the statersquos leading environmental challenges We are bold in addressing those challenges whether through an outreach campaign a blitz of key lawmakers or when all else does not prevail a lawsuitrdquo

Earth Month ldquoWe strive to be very visible during Earth Month so we schedule our staff in a way that they can represent us at Earth Month events all across the state We also have a unique statewide partnership with the global environmentally minded beauty company Aveda The apex of that partnership takes place in April during Earth Monthrdquo

Music ldquoBeautifully-crafted music has been a powerful force in social movements across history We are intentional about weaving music into our work When we had our first ever awareness-building bike ride (ldquoRide for the Moundsrdquo) we capstoned the day with a performance by a wonderful local bluegrass bandrdquo

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

THURSDAY APRIL 7 6-9 PM Indianapolis Museum of Art

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

THE NATURE CONSERVANCY OF INDIANA Mary McConnell

Accomplishment ldquoWe are inspired by the amazing places we have been part of protecting throughout Indianamdashnow more than 100000 acres We know our work will benefit our children in their lives as well as the lives of their children and grandchildrenrdquo

Earth Month ldquoEVERY month is Earth Month for The Nature Conservancy But April is an extremely busy time for us We have volunteer workdays at many of our preserves and of course wersquoll participate in the Earth Day Indiana Festival Look for bison hatsrdquo

Music ldquoI think itrsquos nearly impossible to walk through a forestmdashBig Walnut Nature Preserve west of Indianapolis for examplemdashand not be overwhelmed by the sounds of the trees rustling in the wind bird calls or insects chirping Nature is full of beautiful musicmdashyou just have to listen Whenever I hear a flock of sandhill cranes flying by with their distinctive loud calls I have to rush outside and look for them That to me is some of the most beautiful music on the planetrdquo

RECONNECTING TO OUR WATERWAYSCorrie Meyer

Accomplishment ldquoReconnecting to our Waterways is a collective impact We are not a for profit or not for profit We are just a group of people sitting around the table trying to get things done in the city We host a creative place-making conference annually where we look at how we can creatively improve the areas along our waterways We also host a ROWport which is a report on our progress throughout the year Our educational programs are run through our partners which include IUPUI Butler and the White River Alliancerdquo

EARTH CHARTER INDIANAJim Poyser

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

Accomplishment ldquoWith a strong foundation in knowledge our organization is willing to be candid about the statersquos leading environmental challenges We are bold in addressing those challenges whether through an outreach campaign a blitz of key lawmakers or when all else does not prevail a lawsuitrdquo

Music ldquoBeautifully-crafted music has been a powerful force in social movements across history We are intentional about weaving music into our work When we had our first ever awareness-building bike ride (ldquoRide for the Moundsrdquo) we capstoned the day with a performance by a wonderful local bluegrass bandrdquo

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

CONNECTING MUSIC LITERACY AND LIFELONG LEARNING

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

NEXT GENERATION INITIATIVECELIA PARKERAge 13

ldquoMy grandpa plays the bass and used to play for me In fifth grade I tried three instruments and the bass felt the best to play I love that itrsquos uniquemdashnot a lot of people play it I mostly play classical pieces I love Bach I like the sound and the rhythm of his music and how the notes fit together Irsquom proud that music is one of my talents When I feel upset I play It usually helps me calm down If I were giving advice to other girls who want to pursue music I would say Never give up If itrsquos too tough take it one piece at a time Think about what yoursquore doing for yourself and for others Music makes a lot of people happyrdquo

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

EARTH CHARTER INDIANAJim Poyser

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ITrsquoS A WOMANrsquoS WORLDA FEW POWERHOUSE MUSICIANS WHO ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE WOMEN

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

NEXT GENERATION INITIATIVECELIA PARKERAge 13

ldquoMy grandpa plays the bass and used to play for me In fifth grade I tried three instruments and the bass felt the best to play I love that itrsquos uniquemdashnot a lot of people play it I mostly play classical pieces I love Bach I like the sound and the rhythm of his music and how the notes fit together Irsquom proud that music is one of my talents When I feel upset I play It usually helps me calm down If I were giving advice to other girls who want to pursue music I would say Never give up If itrsquos too tough take it one piece at a time Think about what yoursquore doing for yourself and for others Music makes a lot of people happyrdquo

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

18

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ITrsquoS A WOMANrsquoS WORLDA FEW POWERHOUSE MUSICIANS WHO ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE WOMEN

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

ldquoMy grandpa plays the bass and used to play for me In fifth grade I tried three instruments and the bass felt the best to play I love that itrsquos uniquemdashnot a lot of people play it I mostly play classical pieces I love Bach I like the sound and the rhythm of his music and how the notes fit together Irsquom proud that music is one of my talents When I feel upset I play It usually helps me calm down If I were giving advice to other girls who want to pursue music I would say Never give up If itrsquos too tough take it one piece at a time Think about what yoursquore doing for yourself and for others Music makes a lot of people happyrdquo

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

peers and is an essential therapy to the emotional highs and lows of these often-tumultuous years If you think about your own teenage years you likely have your own anthems that signify major memories and events from that time in your life a soundtrack of a trip you took with friends a memory of ldquothatrdquo song you sang into a hairbrush or jump rope handle or danced to over and over in your teenage bedroom

For many middle and high school students being in choir orchestra or band forms a strong social identity and creates lasting friendships Young people also feel that musical involvement reduces social barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds age groups and social interests While learning can be tough for teenagers with so many social and extracurricular distractions new studies show that teens who engage in musical training have accelerated development in areas of the brain that govern literacy and verbal skills While practicing an instrument or attending choir or orchestra practice may be time consuming it creates great payoff personally and in the classroom

The strong connection between music and learning continues throughout life long after our brains are fully developed Learning and practicing an instrument in adulthood helps stave off mental decline that can occur as we age Whether you learned to play as a child or are picking up lessons for the first time as an adult the ritual and repetition of practicing the instrument of your choice will help you stay mentally sharp and enhance memory function long into your later years

For seniors musical enjoyment and training also has powerful effects on mental health particularly in reducing the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimerrsquos While the senior years are usually associated with cognitive decline musical engagement can actually ignite the aging brain to continue learning new things expand existing vocabulary and improve memory Many seniors battle health ailments and physical pain and face social isolationmdasha reality we all wish to avoid Listening to music provides opportunities for seniors to engage socially with peers has incredibly positive benefits on mood and emotions and increases enjoyment for the elderly Music being so important in our youth it only makes sense that we would also place value on this essential art form in our later years

ldquo When you hear a great symphony it gets your mind moving You can go to all kinds of places Thatrsquos also how I feel about poetryrdquo

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ITrsquoS A WOMANrsquoS WORLDA FEW POWERHOUSE MUSICIANS WHO ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE WOMEN

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

NEXT GENERATION INITIATIVECELIA PARKERAge 13

ldquoMy grandpa plays the bass and used to play for me In fifth grade I tried three instruments and the bass felt the best to play I love that itrsquos uniquemdashnot a lot of people play it I mostly play classical pieces I love Bach I like the sound and the rhythm of his music and how the notes fit together Irsquom proud that music is one of my talents When I feel upset I play It usually helps me calm down If I were giving advice to other girls who want to pursue music I would say Never give up If itrsquos too tough take it one piece at a time Think about what yoursquore doing for yourself and for others Music makes a lot of people happyrdquo

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

FEBRUARY BLACK HISTORY MONTH

A VOICE OF CHANGE

BLACK MUSICIANS AS ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSPart of CMIrsquos ongoing work is to highlight diversity in the classical music world and explore the unique voices and perspectives of multicultural musicians and audiences In recognition of Black History Month Classical Music Indy honors a few black musicians who made history by gracing concert stages and bringing unique cultural experiences to the music they performed

MARIAN ANDERSONShe walked out onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and began to sing ldquoMy Country rsquoTis of Theerdquo It was April 9 1939 Hitlerrsquos armies were advancing the Depression had taken a heavy toll racial tension was boiling over in the States but there she wasmdashMarian Andersonmdashsinging for 75000 people in a public setting in the nationrsquos capitol History was made

Anderson was one of the most prominent classical singers in the country and a beloved figure on the stage Despite her indisputable fame and world-renowned reputation many were outraged and outspoken about the fact that she had been given the opportunity to sing in this public setting Anderson a poised intelligent capable established and successful musician of great import was also a black woman She had been invited to sing as part of the Howard University concert series Because of Andersonrsquos tremendous following the University asked Constitution Hall to host the concert but the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the Hall and enforced their then white-artist-only clause

The NAACP assisted Howard University in arranging the outdoor performance on the steps of the monument For some sadly that was worthy of angry protests In a time of racial divide and political unrest despite much progress many felt that the prominent role for Ms Anderson was stoking the fire for those opposed to desegregation All the more reason according to many for her to sing her nationrsquos anthem on a day that received international attention Her beautiful singing that day became a testament of strength in the face of adversity which will resonate throughout American history

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

17

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ITrsquoS A WOMANrsquoS WORLDA FEW POWERHOUSE MUSICIANS WHO ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE WOMEN

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

NEXT GENERATION INITIATIVECELIA PARKERAge 13

ldquoMy grandpa plays the bass and used to play for me In fifth grade I tried three instruments and the bass felt the best to play I love that itrsquos uniquemdashnot a lot of people play it I mostly play classical pieces I love Bach I like the sound and the rhythm of his music and how the notes fit together Irsquom proud that music is one of my talents When I feel upset I play It usually helps me calm down If I were giving advice to other girls who want to pursue music I would say Never give up If itrsquos too tough take it one piece at a time Think about what yoursquore doing for yourself and for others Music makes a lot of people happyrdquo

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

RECONNECTING TO OUR WATERWAYSCorrie Meyer

Accomplishment ldquoReconnecting to our Waterways is a collective impact We are not a for profit or not for profit We are just a group of people sitting around the table trying to get things done in the city We host a creative place-making conference annually where we look at how we can creatively improve the areas along our waterways We also host a ROWport which is a report on our progress throughout the year Our educational programs are run through our partners which include IUPUI Butler and the White River Alliancerdquo

EARTH CHARTER INDIANAJim Poyser

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

PAUL ROBESONPaul Robeson the booming bass-baritone of the mid-1900rsquos was known by most as the voice and face of Show Boat with his iconic rendition of ldquoOld Man Riverrdquo Little known by most is that Robeson was also a lawyer and activist and graduated with honors from Rutgers University He funded his education by playing professional football for Hammond Indiana Akron Ohio and Milwaukee Wisconsin One of the most famous voices of the 20th century Robeson was the very definition of a Renaissance Man As a prominent figure in the musical world Robeson used his fame and following to leverage progress in ongoing Civil Rights discussions and debates His very quick climb to fame was due not only to his powerful singing but his powerful voice in advocating for social justice

The world today is a very different and much-progressed place Social justice struggles equality issues and gross stigmas continue but many more people are empowered to courageously battle against injustice Likewise the classical music stage has continued to become more diverse more colorful and imbued with the beautiful multicultural backgrounds of people who once would have been denied opportunity on the stage

Many others have joined in the journey as stages have diversified and countless musicians of color have earned prominent places among the artistic community and as part of the multicultural fabric that is todayrsquos America and todayrsquos musical world Black Americans (and other diverse communities) have stepped onto countless national stages to be heard musically while also empowering their respective communities to be heard

ldquo Therersquos a subversive joy in being black and achieving excellence in a field from which black people were traditionally excluded For black classical musicians and composers staking a claim in the classical genre means looking up to white composersmdashmany of whom looked down on blackness It means working creatively to contribute to the culture of a nation that stole the labor of their ancestors It means giving the next generation of classical artists a more diverse group of people from whom to draw inspiration As Black History Month approaches it is important to not only acknowledge the significance of contemporary black contributions to classical music but also acknowledge the achievements of those who paved the wayrdquo

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

ldquoMy grandpa plays the bass and used to play for me In fifth grade I tried three instruments and the bass felt the best to play I love that itrsquos uniquemdashnot a lot of people play it I mostly play classical pieces I love Bach I like the sound and the rhythm of his music and how the notes fit together Irsquom proud that music is one of my talents When I feel upset I play It usually helps me calm down If I were giving advice to other girls who want to pursue music I would say Never give up If itrsquos too tough take it one piece at a time Think about what yoursquore doing for yourself and for others Music makes a lot of people happyrdquo

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

EARTH CHARTER INDIANAJim Poyser

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

Accomplishment ldquoWith a strong foundation in knowledge our organization is willing to be candid about the statersquos leading environmental challenges We are bold in addressing those challenges whether through an outreach campaign a blitz of key lawmakers or when all else does not prevail a lawsuitrdquo

Earth Month ldquoWe strive to be very visible during Earth Month so we schedule our staff in a way that they can represent us at Earth Month events all across the state We also have a unique statewide partnership with the global environmentally minded beauty company Aveda The apex of that partnership takes place in April during Earth Monthrdquo

Music ldquoBeautifully-crafted music has been a powerful force in social movements across history We are intentional about weaving music into our work When we had our first ever awareness-building bike ride (ldquoRide for the Moundsrdquo) we capstoned the day with a performance by a wonderful local bluegrass bandrdquo

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

THURSDAY APRIL 7 6-9 PM Indianapolis Museum of Art

FREE

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

HOLOGRAPHIC Daniel Wohl in Concert

A Concert presented in partnership with the IMA and Classical Music Indy

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6 730 PMIndianapolis Museum of Art

The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host Daniel Wohl on Saturday February 6th for a performance of Holographic in partnership with Classical Music Indy The performance will take place in The Toby at the IMA at 730 pm and will be the Midwest debut of Holographic This performance is one in a series of collaborations between the IMA and CMI to present new experimental music

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

created for the city of Indianapolis Works are available to download and stream at httpssoundcloud

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

For when your marriage proposal is thrown back in your faceMUSIC Fuumlr Elise by Beethoven

Have you ever proposed to someone only for them to say lsquonorsquo and marry someone far wealthier and better-dressed Beethoven has He popped the question to one of his piano students Therese Malfatti in 1810 but she completely blew him off for Wilhelm von Drossdik Beethovenrsquos response Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever

WINE The best revenge is living well so no cheap wine now At $95 the Don Melcher Cabernet Sauvignon is something you can drown your sorrow with while still feeling classy Notes of cocoa dominate but are balanced with a great finish of cherries and stone fruit You can mail the empty bottle to your ex with a note saying ldquoIrsquom the Beethoven hersquos the von Drossdikrdquo

For when someone else gets there firstMUSIC Piano Trio No 1 by Brahms

Just listen to the opening cello melody here If it doesnrsquot make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying then yoursquove got nothing inside your heart Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldnrsquot keep quiet about it

WINE Havenrsquot we all had a friend like Brahms And who wants to give alcohol to someone who wonrsquot shut up Best thing to do is make a mixed drink for everyone but make his without booze One thing Irsquove been putting in a lot of mixed drinks lately

is Cuties Tangerine Juice If you like those little citrus fruits that are so easy to peel you will love the juice which can be found in the grocery storersquos refrigerated juice section Substitute it in mimosas tropical cocktails and of course anything with rum What Mr Piney doesnrsquot know wonrsquot hurt him And you can drink until you donrsquot care anymore

For when yoursquore dividing up all your stuffMUSIC ldquoDonde Lieta Uscirdquo from La Boheme by Puccini

Sparky starcrossed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight because of Mimi flirting with other men Or thatrsquos what Rodolfo says anywaymdashthe real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he canrsquot handle the thought of her dying (weird logic buddy but whatever) He tells the truth to his friend Marcello but Mimi overhears him and after Marcello leaves she asks him to return all of her possessions

WINE Tip for boozehounds Before it comes time to divide up all your marital assets drink the good stuff During the division of assets drink some Broadbent Madeira Madeira doesnrsquot get much love these days which is a shame since it has a fascinating history (itrsquos what the Founding Fathers drank to celebrate the Declaration of Independence) and a unique production method Broadbent has wonderful caramel butterscotch and toasted nut flavors but at $20 or so wonrsquot break your bank account Which hopefully yoursquove transferred and hidden along with your other assets before this division of stuff

VALENTINErsquoS DAY

During February nearly everyone is flinging chocolate and jewelry at each other We decided to go a different route We took a cue from our brilliant friends at Classic FM and one of their content gurus Daniel Ross We took classical breakup songs and ran them by our highly winkable wine guru Charles Miller and our fearless CEO Charles Stanton The result is a wine pairing list for the greatest classical heartbreak breakup songs of all time We hope you enjoy it Find out more about Daniel and Classic FM at wwwclassicfmcom and Charles Miller at wwwfacebookcomAmericanWineSocietyIndy

Drunk on Love or Drowning Your Sorrows

17

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Accomplishment ldquoWe are inspired by the amazing places we have been part of protecting throughout Indianamdashnow more than 100000 acres We know our work will benefit our children in their lives as well as the lives of their children and grandchildrenrdquo

Earth Month ldquoEVERY month is Earth Month for The Nature Conservancy But April is an extremely busy time for us We have volunteer workdays at many of our preserves and of course wersquoll participate in the Earth Day Indiana Festival Look for bison hatsrdquo

Music ldquoI think itrsquos nearly impossible to walk through a forestmdashBig Walnut Nature Preserve west of Indianapolis for examplemdashand not be overwhelmed by the sounds of the trees rustling in the wind bird calls or insects chirping Nature is full of beautiful musicmdashyou just have to listen Whenever I hear a flock of sandhill cranes flying by with their distinctive loud calls I have to rush outside and look for them That to me is some of the most beautiful music on the planetrdquo

RECONNECTING TO OUR WATERWAYSCorrie Meyer

Accomplishment ldquoReconnecting to our Waterways is a collective impact We are not a for profit or not for profit We are just a group of people sitting around the table trying to get things done in the city We host a creative place-making conference annually where we look at how we can creatively improve the areas along our waterways We also host a ROWport which is a report on our progress throughout the year Our educational programs are run through our partners which include IUPUI Butler and the White River Alliancerdquo

EARTH CHARTER INDIANAJim Poyser

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

Accomplishment ldquoWith a strong foundation in knowledge our organization is willing to be candid about the statersquos leading environmental challenges We are bold in addressing those challenges whether through an outreach campaign a blitz of key lawmakers or when all else does not prevail a lawsuitrdquo

Music ldquoBeautifully-crafted music has been a powerful force in social movements across history We are intentional about weaving music into our work When we had our first ever awareness-building bike ride (ldquoRide for the Moundsrdquo) we capstoned the day with a performance by a wonderful local bluegrass bandrdquo

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

For when your love is unrequitedMUSIC Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz

When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings She didnrsquot answer any of them so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it but thatrsquos not recommended

WINE Speaking of unrequited you know what shows wine drinkers a lot of love but never seems to get any respect Portuguese wine Long in Spainrsquos shadow Portuguese wine is finally starting to find some love due in no small part to its excellent price point At a recent tasting of Portuguese reds I had the excellent 2011 Alvaro Castro from the Dao region Wonderfully earthy in the old French way it has wonderful leather and anise notes Perfect for hearty winter stews And at $13 it will love you and your wallet

For when you just canrsquot work out why it has to end like thisMUSIC ldquoAddio del Passatordquo from La Traviata by Verdi

No one does break-ups like operamdash so herersquos one for everyone whorsquos been left completely baffled by their break-up Violetta is about to die (remember itrsquos an operamdasheveryonersquos about to die) She receives a letter from her confused SO Alfredorsquos father saying that he knows why she lied about her love for him and is coming to hermdashBUT SHE KNOWS HE WONrsquoT MAKE IT IN TIME OH MAN She sings him this farewellhellip

WINE Time is a both a blessing and a curse for wine We need time to make the best wines great but too often we hold onto wines for just the right occasion and never finding it end up with old swill Instead of saving bottles for special nights I urge you instead to make ordinary nights special with the right wine Go down into your cellar and grab a bottle you were saving and open it Share it with family and friends with a generous toast Donrsquot turn your wine collection into an opera where everything happens too late to make a difference To life

For when yoursquore not strong enough to do the right thingMUSIC ldquoAddio Fiorito Asilrdquo from Madam Butterfly by Puccini

The ridiculously-named Pinkerton comes to Butterflyrsquos house to try and say goodbye for the last time but decides that he simply canrsquot handle it Itrsquos too darn painful So instead he sings a song saying goodbye to the house he and Butterfly spent so many happy times in

WINE Alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason Times like this call for the harder stuff Sandemanrsquos Ten Year Port is full of notes of raisins prunes stewed and reduced fruit Itrsquos perfect with dark chocolate and frigidly cold nights Itrsquos also a great dessert course where you can say good bye to your holiday guests while musing on why Puccini chose the name Pinkerton for anything

And for when you just canrsquot carry onMUSIC Piano Concerto No 2 Second Movement by Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married Odd choice for this list no Well just because he was basically fine in the love stakes

it doesnrsquot mean he didnrsquot know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece Listen to that melodymdashfamiliar OF COURSE IT IS itrsquos Eric Carmenrsquos lsquoAll By Myselfrsquo Without even knowing it Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups Cheers you emotional brute

WINE First of all if you like this movement search YouTube for ldquoChen Lu 1996 Worldsrdquo And know that when it comes to wine however much we revere single varietal wines it is the blends that bring out the best in a wine accentuating strengths and reducing weaknesses The most revered blend is the Bordeaux blend and one great example is the 2011 Chacircteau Cantemerle Grand Cru Haut Medoc Bordeaux Priced at around $45 it is the perfect blend of great earth notes with wonderful hints of cherry vanilla and tobacco Enjoy it with lamb or beef cooked medium rare

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

Accomplishment ldquoWith a strong foundation in knowledge our organization is willing to be candid about the statersquos leading environmental challenges We are bold in addressing those challenges whether through an outreach campaign a blitz of key lawmakers or when all else does not prevail a lawsuitrdquo

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTHCMI along with our dynamic program partners honors the contributions of women in music and celebrates the

importance of womenrsquos empowerment For Womenrsquos History Month we asked a few community leaders NOTE

contributors and friends of CMI to share their thoughts on the importance of highlighting the power of women

and teaching empowerment to young girls

ldquoWomen make up more than half the worldrsquos population I believe that more women in positions of power will lead to a society that is more just peaceful equitable and moderate Highlighting womenrsquos power helps other women see themselves as leadersrdquo

ldquoWe need to teach young girls they are stronger than they think to always trust their gut and to know that as long as they are open and honest they are not responsible for the way others respondrdquo

ldquoEmpowering women and girls to step into their truth and to own the stories they fear or are ashamed to tell is vitally important to social change and progress We live in a world that has sidelined and silenced women throughout history Speaking out about our personal experiences can change the narrative about what it means to be a woman and in so doing can change the worldrdquo

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Accomplishment ldquoWe are inspired by the amazing places we have been part of protecting throughout Indianamdashnow more than 100000 acres We know our work will benefit our children in their lives as well as the lives of their children and grandchildrenrdquo

Earth Month ldquoEVERY month is Earth Month for The Nature Conservancy But April is an extremely busy time for us We have volunteer workdays at many of our preserves and of course wersquoll participate in the Earth Day Indiana Festival Look for bison hatsrdquo

Music ldquoI think itrsquos nearly impossible to walk through a forestmdashBig Walnut Nature Preserve west of Indianapolis for examplemdashand not be overwhelmed by the sounds of the trees rustling in the wind bird calls or insects chirping Nature is full of beautiful musicmdashyou just have to listen Whenever I hear a flock of sandhill cranes flying by with their distinctive loud calls I have to rush outside and look for them That to me is some of the most beautiful music on the planetrdquo

RECONNECTING TO OUR WATERWAYSCorrie Meyer

Accomplishment ldquoReconnecting to our Waterways is a collective impact We are not a for profit or not for profit We are just a group of people sitting around the table trying to get things done in the city We host a creative place-making conference annually where we look at how we can creatively improve the areas along our waterways We also host a ROWport which is a report on our progress throughout the year Our educational programs are run through our partners which include IUPUI Butler and the White River Alliancerdquo

Music ldquoWe are all about creative minds and using all different methods in our places along the waterways that we createrdquo Meyer highlights StreamLines which is funded by a grant given to Butler University through the National Science Foundation ldquoPart of our work is connecting people to places and connecting people to people Music and other forms of art really offer that opportunity for connectionrdquo

EARTH CHARTER INDIANAJim Poyser

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

Accomplishment ldquoWith a strong foundation in knowledge our organization is willing to be candid about the statersquos leading environmental challenges We are bold in addressing those challenges whether through an outreach campaign a blitz of key lawmakers or when all else does not prevail a lawsuitrdquo

Earth Month ldquoWe strive to be very visible during Earth Month so we schedule our staff in a way that they can represent us at Earth Month events all across the state We also have a unique statewide partnership with the global environmentally minded beauty company Aveda The apex of that partnership takes place in April during Earth Monthrdquo

Music ldquoBeautifully-crafted music has been a powerful force in social movements across history We are intentional about weaving music into our work When we had our first ever awareness-building bike ride (ldquoRide for the Moundsrdquo) we capstoned the day with a performance by a wonderful local bluegrass bandrdquo

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

THURSDAY APRIL 7 6-9 PM Indianapolis Museum of Art

FREE

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

ITrsquoS A WOMANrsquoS WORLDA FEW POWERHOUSE MUSICIANS WHO ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE WOMEN

ldquoTeaching young girls and women to feel empowered is essential Women have to access their own power and bring their special gifts to the worldrdquo

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

MARCH WOMENrsquoS HISTORY MONTH

So disturbed by the lack of storytelling that exists to illuminate the lives of women the dynamic duo Katie Morris and Teal Cracraft co-created a safe community in which women can find solidarity in creating a new dialogue and narrative about womenrsquos lives

ldquoOur dream at Speak Your Story is of empowerment To speak up for oneself is an extremely brave act When we tell our own stories we realize strength and courage that may have been hidden in the shadows And when we share our stories with others we create a powerful opportunity for another woman to find her own strength her own redemption and her own voice We have the power to produce a strong and resilient community of women through our vulnerable non-judgmental and brave story-tellingrdquo

This beautiful dream-turned-reality has become a community forum of free expression through storytelling The patchwork of unfiltered stories submitted by women of all walks of life illuminate the diversity of the female experience through unique life stories but equally the bond of strength and determination that unites all women Speak Your Story invites and embodies empowerment through the written word Each submission is authentic raw and deeply personal Speak Your Story gives public voice to women and has created a community that is rewriting the narrative of life as a woman Submitted stories are published through social media and chronicled on Speak Your Storyrsquos website and soon in their first anthology

In an excerpt from co-founder Katie Morrisrsquos own writing you can feel the empowerment that Speak Your Story gives the female voice

ldquoIt is the ALONE that lets me take deep breaths allows me to linger and encourages reflection There is no shame in this ALONE This ALONE says I cannot possibly ruin anything It is here ALONE that I truly and deeply love all of me Nothing stayed behind Wholly I came to Budapest And this ALONE welcomed me with outstretched arms heart soul and said lsquoHERE is where you belong Where you will be held and loved ALONE with me It will be beautifulrsquo And it is Beyond what I ever imaginedrdquo

As part of the new partnership with Classical Music Indy both organizations are exploring a new podcast series chronicling the lives of women and their music special shared features between CMIrsquos My Music My Story and Speak Your Story regular features in CMIrsquos NOTE Magazine as well as co-produced events and happenings that enliven the city and empower women and girls to be as vibrant as they are

Classical Music Indy is deeply committed to forging truly collaborative partnerships with like-minded

organizations We work together to do great work and to increase each otherrsquos reach and find mutually

beneficial ways to elevate our respective communities We look for overlap in organizational missions and

equally important uniqueness to keep things interesting We have found this kinship with several organizations

most recently with Girls Rock Indianapolis and Speak Your Story two organizations committed to empowering

girls and women through the arts and self-expression We are incredibly impressed with the passion and energy

of these organizations and think you will be too

SPEAK YOUR STORYwwwSpeakYourStoryorg

NEXT GENERATION INITIATIVECELIA PARKERAge 13

ldquoMy grandpa plays the bass and used to play for me In fifth grade I tried three instruments and the bass felt the best to play I love that itrsquos uniquemdashnot a lot of people play it I mostly play classical pieces I love Bach I like the sound and the rhythm of his music and how the notes fit together Irsquom proud that music is one of my talents When I feel upset I play It usually helps me calm down If I were giving advice to other girls who want to pursue music I would say Never give up If itrsquos too tough take it one piece at a time Think about what yoursquore doing for yourself and for others Music makes a lot of people happyrdquo

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

NATURErsquoS SONGMUSICAL INSPIRATION AND CONNECTIONS TO NATUREClassical Music Indy works every day to enliven public spaces with beautiful music and powerful neighborhood-based programs We believe everyone needs and deserves a sense of beauty and humanity One of CMIrsquos newest partners Jim Poyser at Earth Charter Indiana is working with us on several exciting projects for 2016 Jim also helped us compile this Earth Day feature highlighting a few local organizations that are doing great work

THE NATURE CONSERVANCY OF INDIANA Mary McConnell

Accomplishment ldquoWe are inspired by the amazing places we have been part of protecting throughout Indianamdashnow more than 100000 acres We know our work will benefit our children in their lives as well as the lives of their children and grandchildrenrdquo

Earth Month ldquoEVERY month is Earth Month for The Nature Conservancy But April is an extremely busy time for us We have volunteer workdays at many of our preserves and of course wersquoll participate in the Earth Day Indiana Festival Look for bison hatsrdquo

Music ldquoI think itrsquos nearly impossible to walk through a forestmdashBig Walnut Nature Preserve west of Indianapolis for examplemdashand not be overwhelmed by the sounds of the trees rustling in the wind bird calls or insects chirping Nature is full of beautiful musicmdashyou just have to listen Whenever I hear a flock of sandhill cranes flying by with their distinctive loud calls I have to rush outside and look for them That to me is some of the most beautiful music on the planetrdquo

RECONNECTING TO OUR WATERWAYSCorrie Meyer

Accomplishment ldquoReconnecting to our Waterways is a collective impact We are not a for profit or not for profit We are just a group of people sitting around the table trying to get things done in the city We host a creative place-making conference annually where we look at how we can creatively improve the areas along our waterways We also host a ROWport which is a report on our progress throughout the year Our educational programs are run through our partners which include IUPUI Butler and the White River Alliancerdquo

Music ldquoWe are all about creative minds and using all different methods in our places along the waterways that we createrdquo Meyer highlights StreamLines which is funded by a grant given to Butler University through the National Science Foundation ldquoPart of our work is connecting people to places and connecting people to people Music and other forms of art really offer that opportunity for connectionrdquo

EARTH CHARTER INDIANAJim Poyser

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

Accomplishment ldquoWith a strong foundation in knowledge our organization is willing to be candid about the statersquos leading environmental challenges We are bold in addressing those challenges whether through an outreach campaign a blitz of key lawmakers or when all else does not prevail a lawsuitrdquo

Earth Month ldquoWe strive to be very visible during Earth Month so we schedule our staff in a way that they can represent us at Earth Month events all across the state We also have a unique statewide partnership with the global environmentally minded beauty company Aveda The apex of that partnership takes place in April during Earth Monthrdquo

Music ldquoBeautifully-crafted music has been a powerful force in social movements across history We are intentional about weaving music into our work When we had our first ever awareness-building bike ride (ldquoRide for the Moundsrdquo) we capstoned the day with a performance by a wonderful local bluegrass bandrdquo

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

HOLOGRAPHIC Daniel Wohl in Concert

A Concert presented in partnership with the IMA and Classical Music Indy

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6 730 PMIndianapolis Museum of Art

The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host Daniel Wohl on Saturday February 6th for a performance of Holographic in partnership with Classical Music Indy The performance will take place in The Toby at the IMA at 730 pm and will be the Midwest debut of Holographic This performance is one in a series of collaborations between the IMA and CMI to present new experimental music

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

created for the city of Indianapolis Works are available to download and stream at httpssoundcloud

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

GIRLS ROCK INDIANAPOLISwwwgirlsrockindyorg

Girls Rock Indy is at its basic core a music summer camp for girls ages 8ndash16 but it is so much more The volunteer staff uses music education as a tool to foster self-esteem create community and encourage social change Thanks to an enormous amount of community support this summer camp affords every girl who attends a unique opportunity to express herself in any way she wishes Itrsquos not just about rock lsquonrsquo roll itrsquos about all musical genres They do not put pressure on being a virtuoso but instead teach campers to be an active agent in music culture and industry Through workshops and group activities girls learn to work together to be a part of something greater than themselves

Executive Director Twinkle VanWinkle has witnessed the power of the Girls Rock experience personally through the impact the camp has had on her own daughter ldquoIrsquom so grateful for the Girls Rock program especially for my daughter whorsquos developed a stronger love for music and flourished just by participating in camp and volunteering The strong female mentors and instructors helped show her that she could be just as successful at music and in life as anyone elserdquo

Girls Rock Indy welcomes all people who identify as female or gender non-conforming to be campers or volunteers in leadership positions At camp everyone is expected to be who they are and express their gender however they see fit No one is expected to fit into a gender stereotype Like CMI Girls Rock Indy values diversity and free expression Camp Week is a unique and transformative experience meant to take participants out of their everyday norm

Through the new partnership the two organizations will expand educational programming to include year-round programs that reach male and female youth and adults The partnership allows the Girls Rock summer camp to always be just for girls Both organizations believe that a girl-only environment helps accomplish certain goals providing campers strong female role models encouraging teamwork among girls and breaking down gender stereotypes That incredible work will continue as the new partnership reaches the entire family with musical and educational opportunities

Classical Music Indy is grateful to both Girls Rock Indy and Speak Your Story

for these powerful creative partnerships and for the transformational work

each organization does in the community We have all heard the saying that

birds of a feather flock together The company you keep is a reflection of your

own values In this case we certainly hope so

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

HOOSIER ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Marianne Holland amp Jesse Kharbanda

Accomplishment ldquoWith a strong foundation in knowledge our organization is willing to be candid about the statersquos leading environmental challenges We are bold in addressing those challenges whether through an outreach campaign a blitz of key lawmakers or when all else does not prevail a lawsuitrdquo

Earth Month ldquoWe strive to be very visible during Earth Month so we schedule our staff in a way that they can represent us at Earth Month events all across the state We also have a unique statewide partnership with the global environmentally minded beauty company Aveda The apex of that partnership takes place in April during Earth Monthrdquo

Music ldquoBeautifully-crafted music has been a powerful force in social movements across history We are intentional about weaving music into our work When we had our first ever awareness-building bike ride (ldquoRide for the Moundsrdquo) we capstoned the day with a performance by a wonderful local bluegrass bandrdquo

ldquoWhen I am in a forest my senses are always astounded I can only draw on musical analogies to do justice in describing its beauty I see the rich tapestry of life there working together and creating a symphony which brings a sense of peace and awerdquo

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

THURSDAY APRIL 7 6-9 PM Indianapolis Museum of Art

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host Daniel Wohl on Saturday February 6th for a performance of Holographic in partnership with Classical Music Indy The performance will take place in The Toby at the IMA at 730 pm and will be the Midwest debut of Holographic This performance is one in a series of collaborations between the IMA and CMI to present new experimental music

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

THURSDAY APRIL 7 6-9 PM Indianapolis Museum of Art

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

EARTH CHARTER INDIANAJim Poyser

Accomplishment ldquoEarth Charter Indiana was started in 2001 by John Gibson and Jerry King They saw the need for an organization dedicated to connecting the dots between our challenges climate change racism poverty peace and justice and a lack of democratic transparency We cannot solve our problems in silos We need to unite to overcome injustice in all its forms ECI is part of a worldwide network of Earth Charter organizations though we are the only one in the US We have an ongoing goal to create an irresistible movement of people who want the world to be a livable one for their children and childrenrsquos children and they are willing to change their lives and alter the political and policy landscape as wellrdquo

Earth MonthDay ldquoNature is a remarkable thing Some give her a gender and she never takes a day off Numerous local organizations never take a day off either They are always there for nature for you and for the creatures that comprise this great web of life Celebrating the Earth on one day is ludicrous Let every day be Earth Day because nature is always thererdquo

Music ldquoI believe that every movement in human history has required music to be successfulmdashlike a song that got people up and marching for change We are developing a number of ideas right now to more deeply integrate the arts into the curriculum for our Climate Camps and showcase local musicians as they grapple with the challenges facing usrdquo

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host Daniel Wohl on Saturday February 6th for a performance of Holographic in partnership with Classical Music Indy The performance will take place in The Toby at the IMA at 730 pm and will be the Midwest debut of Holographic This performance is one in a series of collaborations between the IMA and CMI to present new experimental music

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host Daniel Wohl on Saturday February 6th for a performance of Holographic in partnership with Classical Music Indy The performance will take place in The Toby at the IMA at 730 pm and will be the Midwest debut of Holographic This performance is one in a series of collaborations between the IMA and CMI to present new experimental music

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

Los Angeles based Arbury says of Alchemy ldquoAll the pieces were written at different times in my life but all are an attempt to express a similar idea that transformation and change are an inherent part of our being no matter our course through life That idea of alchemy is the thread that connects these very different pieces of musicrdquo

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA In partnership with Classical Music Indy featuring a special performance by Jordan Munson

THURSDAY APRIL 7 6-9 PM Indianapolis Museum of Art

FREE

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

HOLOGRAPHIC Daniel Wohl in Concert

A Concert presented in partnership with the IMA and Classical Music Indy

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6 730 PMIndianapolis Museum of Art

The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host Daniel Wohl on Saturday February 6th for a performance of Holographic in partnership with Classical Music Indy The performance will take place in The Toby at the IMA at 730 pm and will be the Midwest debut of Holographic This performance is one in a series of collaborations between the IMA and CMI to present new experimental music

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA In partnership with Classical Music Indy featuring a special performance by Jordan Munson

THURSDAY APRIL 7 6-9 PM Indianapolis Museum of Art

FREE

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

HOLOGRAPHIC Daniel Wohl in Concert

A Concert presented in partnership with the IMA and Classical Music Indy

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6 730 PMIndianapolis Museum of Art

The Indianapolis Museum of Art will host Daniel Wohl on Saturday February 6th for a performance of Holographic in partnership with Classical Music Indy The performance will take place in The Toby at the IMA at 730 pm and will be the Midwest debut of Holographic This performance is one in a series of collaborations between the IMA and CMI to present new experimental music

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

29 2016 It is produced by Paul Corley (Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Ben Frost) and features contributions from Lucky Dragons Olga Bell (Dirty Projectors) Caroline Shaw (Roomful of Teeth) Bang on Can All-Stars Mantra Percussion Mivos Quartet and Iktus Percussionrdquo

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The IMA is also commissioning Wohl to create a new site-specific composition during his visit to Indianapolis as part of the Sound Expeditions program Sound Expeditions launched in 2014 is a partnership with Eskenazi Health and the IMA to commission and archive site-specific works

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

COLLEGE NIGHT IMA is an ongoing series featuring performances talks discussions and experiences centered around arts culture and current events set in a casual social environment

Classical Music Indy is proud to partner once again with the IMA to present CMI favorite Jordan Munson on an original piece as part of the College Night event The concert is largely original music featuring

dynamic lighting and video At the center of the concert will be the Indianapolis premiere of Munsonrsquos solo work Until My Last The piece was first presented last year at The Kitchen in NYC as part of the performance residency Synth Nights curated by composer Nico Muhly

Munson explains ldquoUntil My Last explores memories of early love and the helplessness of drowning Merging interactive light video and electronic sound with piano and music box the performance is a constantly evolving multimedia landscape For this concert I am really fascinated with activating a space in the museum that has yet to be utilized for a performance of this kind I am particularly interested in creating work that plays on the spatial properties of the performance space The idea is to immerse the audience within the work and to create a wholly unique experiencerdquo

ldquoWe are excited to continue the partnership in the coming year including a performance by Indianapolis-based composer and musician Jordan Munson on April 7th at the IMArdquo said Scott Stulen from the IMA Stulen continues ldquoThe IMA is also proud to partner with pioneering organizations Liquid Music (of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra) MASS MoCA and the Baryshnikov Arts Center to commission a new work by Berlin from Paris-born Los Angeles-based composer Daniel Wohl The record Holographic released on New Amsterdam Records is set to release on January

ldquoHolographic is about exploring different worldsmdashimprobable combinations of soundsmdashhidden and imaginary sonic landscapes both acoustic and electronicrdquo explained Wohl ldquoBy processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings percussion or the human voice I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what I listen to on a daily basis I was hoping to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of usrdquo

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music

The start of a new year usually means resolution-making and thinking about aspirations for the coming year Classical Music Indy asked a few community members what they are planning in the way of resolutionsmdashmusical and otherwise Enjoy this opportunity to learn about a few of your neighbors

TRISH CROWESpeak Your Story Contributor

The year I turned 50 was one of the

most stressful times in my life It brought

overeating high blood pressure and

depression The emotional and physical

strains were killing memdashbody soul and

spirit Music saved my life A friend invited

me to sing at a coffee shop and with every

song I felt the power of music telling my story

On the dreaded yet inevitable day I woke up alone in my house for the first

time in my life music once again lifted me Through the pain I said a prayer

got up and suddenly realized I had the freedom to walk nakedmdashnot just

physically but emotionally with self-awareness Irsquom not perfect not skinny

my bodyrsquos in its 50rsquos In that imperfection I realized Irsquom beautiful exactly as I

am That morning I wrote a song called ldquoI Walked Naked Through My House

Todayrdquo the medicine for my broken heart and lonely soul My song is my

mantra of empowerment

EXCERPT FROM

I Walked Naked Through My House Todayhellip and So Should You

CARRIE BROWNINGProfession Insurance Agent Assistant Plays Viola with the Atheneum Pops Orchestra and the Scottish Rite Orchestra

Age 52

As a volunteer musician music is not a daily event although it probably should be In a room or especially while driving silence is not to be tolerated It needs music Music fills a void

My first musical inspiration was a bit unlikely when I was in 4th grade you could get out of class for an hour if you signed up to learn an instrument While I initially signed up just to get out of class I ended up enjoying it

I donrsquot do New Yearrsquos resolutions To me thatrsquos an excellent way to add extra aggravation to everyday life I have been on a six-month hiatus from both orchestras I perform in and I miss making music and miss the people who enjoy music the same way I do So I do hope to have more contact with them in 2016

HEATHER WRIGHTProfession Full-time Student at Butler University

Age 19

When I was younger I loved watching Fantasia I especially loved the scene with the Sorcererrsquos Apprentice Mickey Mouse and the dancing mops I immediately tried to find the instrument that plays the solo line and that just happened to be bassoon I started playing the bassoon in elementary school and have been hooked ever since

I was in the New World Youth Orchestra during high school This was my first direct exposure to orchestral music and it was the highlight of high school for me My experiences in the orchestra not only nurtured exponential growth for me as a musician but also as a student and person

I think listening to classical music is a great way to understand and appreciate history and the generations before us Music conveys true emotion and connects us to events in a unique way Classical music connects us with our past which I think is crucial for every generations

ALEX HOWARDProfession Nursing Student at Ivy Tech and Cashier at Kroger Plays violin and takes private lessons

Age 21

Music is a part of my daily life From casual listening and performing to noticing the cadence of someonersquos speech I canrsquot go an hour without experiencing musicality I only perform with one ensemble right now so most of my daily exposure involves solidifying what I already know and exploring what I donrsquot

My dad was my inspiration to get involved in music He was big into guitarists like Django Rheinhardt Chet Atkins and Fleetwood Macrsquos Lindsey Buckingham He dabbled in acoustic blues while I was young and I loved watching him play If I hadnrsquot had the constant exposure and source of music chat in my dad I probably wouldnrsquot have invested so much into music

In 2016 I might pick up a new instrumentmdashmaybe the Great Highland pipes Irsquoll probably move out on my own too so I donrsquot have to torture my family with the wonderful cacophony of Gaelic music
