Welcome to the Bowdoin International Music Festival’s 61st year. This season we celebrate the beginning of the second decade of David Ying and Phillip Ying as our Co-Artistic Directors. I am confident that you will agree that the Yings have not only continued the mission begun by our founder, Lewis Kaplan, but have enhanced our reputation as a foremost classical and contemporary music festival. To honor David and Phillip’s first ten years, the Festival has established a commissioning fund for the Yings to select a composer of their choice to create a piece for their string quartet — a fitting tribute to their artistry and vision.
This summer, we welcome 45 artist-faculty to Brunswick. You will hear these outstanding musicians perform at Studzinski and Crooker throughout the Festival, and they will teach the 275 young artists from 16 countries and 40 states participating in this year’s Music Institute.
Season highlights include the Attacca, Jasper, Jupiter, Takács, and Ying Quartets performing on Monday evenings, and Sunday afternoon concerts featuring pianist Orion Weiss and the dynamic ensemble Hub New Music. The brilliant young violinist Simone Porter will perform Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy with the Festival Orchestra on July 18, and renowned pianist Richard Goode joins the orchestra for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 25, K. 503 in our season finale on August 8.
Visit our website, bowdoinfestival.org, for daily information about free student Young Artists Concerts, Community Concerts, Family Concerts, as well as the Gamper Festival of Contemporary Music, July 10–13.
This will be an exciting six weeks. I look forward to greeting you before concerts. Meet our staff at Studzinski, a Community Concert, or the Festival table at the Friday Brunswick Farmers Market on the Mall. Together we will ensure that classical and contemporary music thrive. I thank every member of the Festival family for your generous support.

A Toast to Dave and Phil
Celebrating ten years of artistic leadership at the Bowdoin International Music Festival
David Ying and Phillip Ying have guided the Festival with vision, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to musical excellence. Through their leadership, the Festival has deepened its reputation as a home for the highest levels of chamber music. They have brought together world-class performers and gifted young artists from across the globe, nurturing a vibrant community defined by curiosity, collaboration, and creativity. Their programming has embraced beloved repertoire and championed today’s composers. In every gesture, on stage and off, they have exemplified the power of music to connect and transform. They have led with a generosity, joy, and kindness that resonates with our audiences and inspires our students to be the best possible musicians and people.
One of our Fellows captured it best in a post-season thank-you note:
Dear Dave and Phil,
I wanted to reach out to say thank you. It was my first time attending a music festival in the US and I was deeply impressed and inspired by all the work you and the festival crew have put into Bowdoin.
I have made tight connections with other fellows (we chat every single day literally!) and had quite life-changing lessons. These new connections provided the momentum I needed, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Watching you work as members of the Ying Quartet and Eastman faculty always has been inspiring, but seeing you two serving as artistic directors at Bowdoin really gave me fresh perspectives of the music industry and made me contemplate what I might be able to do as a musician in the future. While I do not have a definite answer yet, I thank you for the inspiration.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for providing these amazing opportunities and experiences.
On behalf of the entire Festival community, thank you, Dave and Phil.
Getting to Know the Yings
Revisiting a conversation with the Yings during their first year as Artistic Directors about their life in music and the importance of mentorship.
In a family consisting of five children whose parents were not musicians, how did four of those children end up starting the Ying Quartet together?
David: We all enjoyed music from a relatively young age, but we weren’t prodigies and started later than most kids. It was important to our parents that we be well-rounded, and music was part of the equation in that we were expected to study some instrument if only to learn an appreciation of it and to balance out our other areas of study and socialization. Interestingly enough, even though we took piano lessons, nobody wanted to pursue piano. I didn’t have the natural ability to move my fingers over a keyboard with enough agility, but for whatever reason, the cello just seemed to fit and I enjoyed how it felt and the sounds it could make.
We all went to college to pursue our own paths. Phillip majored in Economics at Harvard but he also loved music and thought he’d like to develop his appreciation for it at Eastman, where I was studying. Eventually, four of us were there together; I was in graduate school when Janet was just entering Eastman as a freshman undergrad.
The Cleveland Quartet was in residence then, and they put the puzzle together after teaching and mentoring all of us. That was key. They were not only wonderful teachers and performers, but they had an uncanny ability to mentor their students and we were lucky beneficiaries. They left a life-long imprint on each of us and made us realize, especially now that we are here at Bowdoin, how important mentorship is in the lives of all our students.
This gorgeous campus is such a nurturing environment, with all of Brunswick’s rich cultural and environmental perks wrapped around us. It’s really key to what sets the Festival apart from other summer music festivals. Students don’t just come here, take a few lessons, play in a few concerts and go home. Their teachers are all superb mentors and are willing to share not only their musical knowledge and expertise but to also teach them how to listen to other instruments, to interact with those who play them, to experiment with different techniques, and expand their thought process so that they are open to new ideas. They dine with them, make music with them, coach their chamber ensembles, and stay in touch after they disperse at the end of the season.
Phillip: Family is also very important to us, and mentoring mimics what we do as parents. The Festival becomes a family and it comes full circle.

Getting to Know the Yings
Continued from page 29.
Tell us about your experience in Jesup, Iowa and how it influenced you as individuals and as a string quartet. How did the experience tie into your thoughts on mentoring?
David: It all began in 1992 when we received a two-year grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to promote chamber music in rural Iowa. Iowa wasn’t all that far from Winnetka, Illinois where we grew up, but Jesup is really rural — a little town of 2,000 folks out in the middle of the corn fields, so to speak. We weren’t sure what we were getting into, but it was a fantastic eye-opener. We discovered how introducing classical music to and performing for people who have had very little exposure to this genre can affect an entire community.
Phillip: How does context make a difference in how you play or where you play? We had a front-row seat watching how music became relevant to a community. When we came to Bowdoin 11 years ago, it helped inform us about how the Festival has a place in Brunswick on the college campus.
David: Between September and May of our first year we played 150 concerts in Jesup and other nearby towns, and people really listened. No matter who asked us to play, we went and we played, whether for four people in someone’s home or for 400 in the high school gym. We always played as well as possible — and at that point we were still growing used to being an
independent string quartet working out our own technique, learning how to be collegial siblings who had to live and work together every day. It gave us a chance to be who we are, to mentor ourselves and to mentor others.
I taught a 73-year-old lady how to play the cello; she had never held a string instrument in her hands before that.
During that first summer, the folks in Jesup started their own arts fair for the first time, providing a venue for people who wanted to demonstrate whatever craft or talent they cared to share. So we came out of there realizing that making music was more about community and connecting with people; it gave us a much bigger vision of what a musician can do than just musical performances.
Our experience showed us how we can always look for ways to collaborate with other artists and how music can fit into the fabric of life. What we brought to Jesup opened doors not only for the townsfolk but also for us. The experience really formed us and imprinted the idea of mentoring within a community, which could encompass anything from a small chamber group to a full orchestra to an entire festival or teaching environment.
When you first arrived at Bowdoin as quartet-in residence, were you able to put to use what you’d learned in Jesup? And how has that translated to what’s going on today?
David: Lewis Kaplan knew us through Janet, who had been a student here at the Festival. He had a vision that he wanted to bring more centrality to the Festival by having a resident ensemble that could bring more focus to chamber music. Lewis very kindly asked us if we’d be interested. We’ve been here ever since. String quartets are part of the Festival’s DNA, and Lewis established that.
Phillip: In our teaching we try to focus on more than just expertise in playing music. Truly good musicians have to get to the core of the composers who wrote the pieces: what was going on in the composers’ lives, what were they trying to say and express. And then the musicians have to learn to hear what their colleagues are playing, interweaving a colleague’s music with their own, so that, together, they create a beautiful picture. So that’s
where mentoring comes in again. We mentor the students we teach, as do all our faculty, and students mentor each other.
Last year the Festival introduced the Monday night Beethoven string quartets, and we’re following Lewis’ suggestion that we keep that series focused on string quartets. Variety will always be present, but string quartets are an important pillar in chamber music. The Festival’s Community Concerts mimic the Jesup experience in many ways, in that the students fan out up and down the midcoast area to play in all sorts of interesting venues, taking music to places where one doesn’t ordinarily find it. They can’t do that without good mentoring from their coaches and their colleagues. There’s that full circle again.
We are celebrating 25 years of lifelong learning for Midcoast area seniors!
