MESSAGE FROM AFFILIATE CHAIR

Success after success: the story of the Affiliates! Our successes have

come about through the strong support of individual Committee Presidents, su-

perb organization of project Coordinators, and, most importantly, the enthusiastic

participation of Affiliate Members!

Invitational Rehearsal had a record attendance of 215 to see Gustavo

Dudamel conduct our magnificent orchestra. We were thrilled when Gustavo and

Deborah Borda spoke privately to our group. It was surely my happiest day as

Affiliate Chair to observe the expressions of awe and wonderment around me.

What an extraordinary Music Director we are privileged to have!

While continuing the day with a gourmet lunch, Grant Gershon, Artistic Direc-

tor of the Los Angeles Master Chorale and Resident Director of the Los Angeles

Opera, provided a heartfelt talk, captivating us with his sincerity.

More success: The Magic of Music All-Affiliate Fundraiser at The Magic Cas-

tle is SOLD OUT! This phenomenon occurred four weeks before the event. You

may still offer your support by purchasing Raffle Tickets on-line. There are great

prizes!

Volunteer opportunities for Toyota Symphonies for Youth concerts have been

filled. All slots are taken on February 7 and 14, and April 25 and May 2. There

was a time when we had to plead for volunteers!

Future events…..Exciting occasions to complete our year:

YOLA News

Juan Felipe Molano joins YOLA as Conductor

At the start of the Fall

semester, YOLA staff,

students, and stake-

holders alike were

pleased to welcome

Juan Felipe Molano as

the new YOLA Con-

ductor. Molano —

whose previous experi-

ence includes positions

as Artistic Director of

Youth Orchestra Salinas in California and as National

Symphonic Director of Batuta in Colombia — brings his

wealth of musical and educational experience to the YO-

LA orchestras. Said Molano, upon first taking on the po-

sition, “I truly look forward to joining this wonderful musi-

cal family. This is a fantastic opportunity to encourage

YOLA orchestras to aim for artistic excellence and

achieve their fullest potential.”

YOLA Orchestra performs as part of Toyota Sym-

phonies for Youth at Walt Disney Concert Hall

The LA Phil’s Toyota Symphonies for Youth introduces

families to the orchestra in all its forms, utilizing storytell-

ing and visuals to enhance musical learning and explo-

ration. In December, the YOLA at EXPO Symphony Or-

chestra took over the reigns from the LA Phil for the first

time in this series in a concert entitled “Jazz and the Or-

chestra.” For two performances, YOLA was joined by

Jon Beasley and his jazz big band – the Monk’estra –

for a masterclass-style concert on the history of

jazz. Sold-out audiences learned about jazz alongside

the YOLA orchestra, in a production featuring a com-

bined Monk’estra and YOLA for the closing performance

of Abreu’s “Tico Tico” that had pint-sized audience

members dancing in the aisles.

International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) Takes

Up Residence at YOLA at HOLA

ICE, with its CEO and Artistic Director Claire Chase — a

2014 MacArthur Fellow — at the helm, led three days of

workshops with YOLA at HOLA’s Advanced winds and

brass students, culminating in a performance for parents

and families. With exercises designed to inspire creativi-

ty and experimentation, YOLA students were asked to

push themselves beyond their musical comfort zones to

create and understand music far outside the confines of

what they were familiar with. The final concert opened

with YOLA percussionists performing a "Quartet for Joy-

sticks" and closed with a full group performance of

Rzewski's "Les Moutons de Panurge."

Suzanne Olsen, Affiliate Symphonies for Schools Coordinator

COPW members wish all Affiliates, staff

and the LA Phil, a healthy, happy, and

musical New Year! A number of our

members are working on preparations

for the All-Affiliate Fundraiser at the

Magic Castle on February 21 and we all

look forward to a “magical” afternoon.

We have made our annual purchase of Toyota Sym-

phonies for Youth tickets. This year we donated 125

tickets to a number of group homes and crisis centers

including: Hathaway Sycamores Child and Family

Services, Hillsides, 1736 Family Crisis Center, Los

Angeles House of Ruth, Maryvale, and Upward

Bound Home. These tickets are really appreciated by

children who might not,

otherwise, have the

opportunity to be ex-

posed to classical mu-

sic and the wonders of

Walt Disney Concert

Hall.

COPW celebrated our

50th Anniversary at our

Annual Meeting on

January 31, 2015 in

Monterey Park at the

home of Edward An-

derson and Inez Lopez.

Melanie Sanguinet, our

guest artist, is definitely an accomplished musician

and accordionist! Our thanks go to co-chairs Inez

Lopez, Nan Flette, and Judy Hirsch.

We all enjoyed a lovely afternoon of fine music, food

and friendship.

The Nominating Committee presented the slate of

New Board Members for 2014-2015. They are Bud

Flette, Nan Flette, Jane Goichman, John Herrmann,

November 24, 2014 Affiliates Presidents/Coordinators Board Meeting:

Chad Smith, Vice President, Artistic Planning for the LA Philharmonic, was our November guest speaker

and focused on his role as a “programmer,” especially in response to the desires expressed by the Phil-

harmonic’s audiences. He stressed that developing and nurturing concert attendees was constantly fore-

most and ongoing in his aim for building audiences with creative programming. He described his posi-

tion, including relating the need for flexibility in arranging concerts. Some musicians, like Esa-Pekka Sa-

lonen, Gustavo Dudamel, Emannuel Ax and Yefim Bronfman, have had long relationships with the or-

chestra and, therefore, their program requests would be very much followed as closely as possible. The

usual situation is that Chad would be more principally involved in the programming decisions since he

has to take entire seasons into consideration, needing to coordinate such matters as timings, orchestra-

tion, frequency of play, and availability of artists.

VALLEY COMMITTEES

The Valley CommitteeS, founded in 1949 and dedi-

cated to bringing music to the community, is looking

forward to one of its most cherished activities; taking

a group of elementary children from an underserved

school to hear a concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Each year, the Valley CommitteeS dedicates $1,000

towards the purchase of 50 tickets and presents a

program at the school to help children and their

teachers prepare to hear the music of one of the

Toyota Symphonies For Youth. One of the commit-

tee members very generously provides bus transpor-

tation and, for several years, has planned and exe-

cuted this program and presented it to the school.

This year, however she became ill and is now unable

to take part. With not even the school chosen, out-

side help was sought. First, Councilman Englander's

office was asked to help identify a school in the val-

ley. The Councilman chose a member of his staff,

Field Deputy Ron Rubine, to provide us with a

shortlist of appropriate schools, from which we chose

Napa Elementary. Their principal and staff have

shown great enthusiasm and cooperation.

The Speakers Bureau offered a second source of

help when its president, DeAnne Hayes, provid-

ed members to prepare and present a pre-program

to the students and teachers prior to their visit to

WDCH. The Valley CommitteeS is most grateful for

the valuable cooperation of the community and other

Affiliates.

AMSOV (ASSOCIATION OF MAJOR SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA VOLUNTEERS)

The Long Beach Auxiliary of the Los Angeles Philhar-

monic kicked off its 80th Anniversary year with its

Notes of Celebration Benefit Luncheon on Saturday,

January 24. Over 50 members and guests were on

hand to revel in the music and stories of LA Philhar-

monic Principal Trumpet Thomas Hooten and his ac-

companist, Mark Robson.

The educator’s heart of Thomas was evident in the

four different trumpets he chose and the more-than-

four musical numbers he played on each instrument.

Mark Robson played a series of highlights in several

of the featured pieces, which added a further depth of

delightful dimension to the afternoon.

A BIG thank you goes to event

chair Pinkie Kullenberg for all her

many, many, hours of hard work in

order to make this superb event

take place.

In addition to celebrating their 80th

anniversary at the upcoming

Spring Musicale, three members

will also be honored for their more

than 40 years of active member-

ship. The musicale is scheduled

for April 30 at the Long Beach

AFFILIATES NEWS

Our second Luncheon Meeting of the season took place

on November 13, 2014, and our guest speaker was

Robert deMaine, the LA Philharmonic’s Principal Cello.

Mr. deMaine, who joined the Philharmonic in 2013,

served as Principal Cello for the Detroit Symphony for

over a decade. He spoke about his experiences in relo-

cating his family from Michigan to California, his passion

for collecting cellos (he owns over a dozen!) and how

much he enjoys living in California and playing for the

Los Angeles Philharmonic.

In the LA Phil, he plays his superb and unique mid-18th-

century Venetian cello attributed to Domenico Busan

from Treviso, near Venice.

Mr. deMaine also talked about his participation in the

newly-formed “Dicterow-DeMaine-Biegel Piano Trio,”

comprised of deMaine, renowned concert pianist Jeffrey

Biegel, and former New York Philharmonic Concertmaster

Glenn Dicterow. Their mission is to establish their repu-

tation as one of the world's leading interpreters of stand-

ard works for piano trio.

After pausing during the busy month of December, we

started out the New Year with a Luncheon Meeting on

January 22, 2015 featuring Los Angeles Philharmonic

violist John Hayhurst. Mr. Hayhurst, who has been with

the Philharmonic for over 30 years, spoke about how

the orchestra has evolved over the years, beginning

with the “old days” at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion to

the joy of performing in Walt Disney Concert Hall,its

magnificent new venue, He also entertained us with

some amusing anecdotes as he reminisced about his

years with the orchestra.

We have set April 12, 2015 as the date for our Annual

Fundraiser. This year’s event will be an afternoon Soi-

ree featuring LA Philharmonic Principal Piccolo Sarah

Jackson and friends. The event will be held from

4:00pm to 7:00pm on a Sunday afternoon in the Fifth

Floor ballroom of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. As in

the past, we will feature a Raffle and Silent Auction, and

ll proceeds will benefit the Los Angeles Philharmonic

Music Library.

Foothill Committee

Foothill Philharmonic Committee has had several ex-

citing months of programs and parties. In November,

we were treated to the multiple talents of Thomas

Hooten, LA Phil’s Principal Trumpet. He not only

demonstrated his skills on the trumpet and cornet, but

he also revealed his ability as a motivational speaker

sharing several lessons from his own life and how he

put them into action to become a principal trumpet.

Our holiday party was host-

ed by Tina and Marcus

Houy, with more than 60

members attending. Deli-

cious food, Christmas

crackers, and holiday songs

were enjoyed by all.

The improvisational skills of

pianist Richard Grayson

helped usher in a new year

of programs for our

group. Mr. Grayson took

suggestions from the group,

mixing them with different

styles and fully entertaining

the attendees.

We are very excited to announce that

Rod Gilfry, American opera baritone,

actor, and two-time Grammy nominee,

will be the featured performer for our

annual benefit in June. Mr. Gilfry is a

hometown talent and we are extremely

proud to have him return to Claremont

for this performance. Elizabeth Smith

The recent performance of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 was extraordinary as conducted by

Herbert Blomstedt. Many attendees asked about the four unusual brass instruments near the

horns. They were four Wagner Tubas. Though the word “tuba” is in its name the instrument is in

fact a horn and uses the same mouthpiece as a horn and is played by traditional horn players.

The Wagner Tuba is generally used as an alternate doubling instrument to the horn and

played as part of a quartet, comprising a pair of tenor tubas (played by 5th and 6th horns) and

a pair of bass tubas (played by 7th and 8th horns). The sound of the Wagner tuba is mellower

than that of the horn and sounds more distant, yet also more focused with a broad noble tone.
