WELCOME The Real Duration of a Concert When I was in grade school, my mother made two things very clear to me: symphonic music is an essential, beautiful experience and girls could grow up to be anything they wanted to be.

That’s why she took my sister and me to Boettcher Concert Hall to see our Colorado Symphony perform. Marin Alsop was Music Director and quickly became our role model for her talent, ambition, and her groundbreaking drive.

Besides an everlasting love of Mozart, my mom taught me something else, perhaps without realizing it: seeing music performed live is a joy we experience together and individually.

Since then, I’ve attended literally thousands of concerts around the country and our beautiful state and have dedicated my life to philanthropy, because that’s exactly what I wanted to pursue: giving back for a greater good. Hers was a lesson that stuck, to say the least.

We’re proud to be Colorado’s Symphony; ours is a state like no other. Like most Coloradans, I’m outside as soon as the sun’s out to enjoy our mountains and all they offer. And we’re incredibly fortunate — as a Symphony, as a community — to have stunning outdoor venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

We’ve already announced some of our Red Rocks summer concerts with Pink Martini, Diana Krall, and Jethro Tull, and I can’t wait to see them all perform with our musicians.

I’m a Denver native, and, like you, I’ve seen some mind-blowing changes over the years that affect us all — booming businesses, a population explosion, changing landscapes.

One major transformation I’m especially looking forward to is Brett Mitchell joining us as Music Director in our 2017/18 Season, and taking our concert series and education programs to new heights with his energy, vision, and leadership.

As a non-profit, the Colorado Symphony provides music education programs for lifelong learning — programs that rely on your support of our Annual Fund to continue and grow.

Before this concert begins, I’m asking you to jump to page 20 and read about music education and philanthropy. Consider how this performance will make you feel, and how you’ll feel if your generosity means others can share this same joy for years to come.

It’s incredible how something that lasts less than two hours can affect you for the rest of your life, isn’t it?

With gratitude, Christina Carlson Chief Advancement Officer

Playing to Our Strengths

By Rachel Trignano

“Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.”

- Albert Camus Early on a snowy January morning, Catherine Beeson — Director of the Colorado Symphony’s Education and Community Programs and our Assistant Principal Viola player — drove from Denver to Colorado Springs to accept the Colorado Music Educators Association’s 2017 Exemplary Service to Music Education Award.

“It is humbling to be in a room full of people who take seriously our responsibility to foster creative thinking and growth through the performing arts,” Catherine said to the room full of musicians and teachers.

Like so many other local music educators, Catherine — along with her fellow Colorado Symphony musicians and colleagues — work hard to supplement our local schools’ music education programs.

It’s a cause we believe in, because we believe all students deserve the proven benefits of music education — and that the future of symphonic music depends on them.

Music on Our Minds The rewards and decline of music education have been researched and reported for years, and the same conclusions are drawn time and again: early-age immersion in music improves test scores, enhances cognitive development, staves off mental decline in later years — the list goes on. Yet music programs in schools steadily dwindle as funds dry up and standardized testing remains in the foreground.

MusiCurious and More: Lifelong Learning The Colorado Symphony’s own education programs are designed for learners from infancy to adulthood, with our MusiCurious program at the center of our efforts to support and supplement local schools’ music curricula.

20 SOUNDINGS 2016/2017 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG

One of the Colorado Symphony’s most in-demand programs is Very Young Composers, which places Symphony musicians in schools to guide students in creating original compositions using sounds, feelings, story-telling, and basic music lessons. The pieces are then performed in the students’ schools, communities, and even at Boettcher Concert Hall.

Other in-school programs like MathNotes and Music of Life teach music in context of math and natural sciences to grade-schoolers, and students of all ages receive in-school lessons from the Symphony’s Teaching Artists through our Master Mentor program. Our adult education efforts like pre-concert Preludes, post-concert Talkbacks, and Inside the Score — which is getting revamped and revitalized for the 2017/18 Season — continue the Colorado Symphony’s commitment to lifelong music education.

Your Presence Determines Our Future Any Symphony relies heavily on active audiences who are educated to appreciate the arts, and patrons who make charitable donations to sustain them.

In our world, these are often the same people. And whether we call you donors, patrons, guests, or audiences, you are absolutely philanthropists, and you are directly involved in the life cycle of a Symphony.

Like most orchestras, we raise more money than we earn — 57% of our budget relies on your charitable donations and sponsorships.

At the start of the 2016/17 Season, the Colorado Symphony had the great fortune to announce we had gotten out of our long-standing deficit and begun a successful endowment campaign.

“An endowment is essential to a Symphony’s longevity,” says Christina Carlson, the Symphony’s Chief Advancement Officer. “Think of an endowment fund like a long-term savings account, and an Annual Fund like a checking account: both are crucial to financial health — but the Symphony’s day-to-day operating budget relies directly on the Annual Fund.”

In other words, our concerts, education programs, and musician and staff salaries are all largely funded directly by you.

Stronger Together “I believe that philanthropy is the love of mankind and that it improves our own lives as much as the lives of others,” says Christina. “Philanthropy is a strengths-based pursuit. When you give to a cause you believe in, you, the donor — whether you’re giving your time, talent, or treasure — support your passions and what matters most to you. I love working with people and learning why they give. It’s an incredibly fulfilling journey of self-discovery.”

Our plans for expanding our lifelong music education programs throughout our community are picking up fantastic momentum, especially as Brett Mitchell joins us as Music Director for the 2017/18 Season. He’s on a mission to make symphonic music more approachable through inventive repertoire and inspiring education for audiences of all ages.

And when today’s music education is threatened, so is the future of your Symphony. Our longevity is as tied to the generosity of our donors as it is to each upcoming generation’s connection to the arts.

As long as the Colorado Symphony has your loyal support, we can continue to educate the students in our community.

Consider your causes, and the effects they have. Where do you see your Symphony in ten years? In fifty?

And who’s going to be in the Hall?

What’s your strength as a Symphony supporter? Contact Chief Advancement Officer Christina Carlson at ccarlson@ coloradosymphony.org or 303.308.2495.

MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHT All Together Now

by Rachel Trignano

Yi Zhao, Assistant Concertmaster

PHOTO: PETER LOCKLEY

PHOTO: PETER LOCKLEY

Colorado’s one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S., and Denver’s proven itself as a migration destination — and not just for businesses and outdoors enthusiasts. The Colorado Symphony’s roster boasts musicians from all over the world: Ukraine, China, South Korea, and Bulgaria are just a few countries from which our musicians hail.

Two of our musicians, Assistant Concertmaster Yi Zhao and Violinist Myroslava IvanchenkoBartels, took the time to reflect on the life events that brought them to Colorado, and what they enjoy about life here — as performers, parents, partners, and Coloradans.

Myroslava Ivanchenko-Bartels, Violin

Beginnings “I was born in the city of Zhengzhou, Henan province in China. I always wanted to learn a musical instrument, and I remember I saw Itzhak Perlman playing on TV. Later that night, I used chopsticks to imitate playing the violin on my shoulder. My parents asked me if I wanted to learn the violin, and I said ‘YES!’ without a moment’s hesitation!

“I started studying the violin when I was 7, and the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing selected me when I was 12. Afterwards, I got my Bachelor’s at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, National University of Singapore. There, I met Professor Cho-Liang Lin, who would become my mentor at Rice University for my graduate degree.”

– Yi Zhao, Assistant Concertmaster “I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, to parents who are both professional musicians (a violist and a bassoonist). When I was 6, I asked them to teach me music, so they bought me a piano. I was accepted to Lysenko Music School — but the piano studios were full and they suggested I try violin. I am so glad I did! I studied violin from the age of 7 at the Kyiv Specialized Music School and later the National Music Academy of Ukraine.”

– Myroslava Ivanchenko-Bartels, Violin

22 SOUNDINGS 2016/2017 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG

Colorado-Bound “This is my sixth year in the United States. Before I moved to the U.S. for my graduate studies, I had been here a few times for chamber music performances in New York and Baltimore. Knowing there were many talented players, teachers, and opportunities (competitions, prestigious music festivals, master-class series) in the States for musicians, I decided to get my Master of Music at Rice with Mr. Lin, who has inspired me since childhood and even now. I auditioned for the Assistant Concertmaster position in the Colorado Symphony, and, thankfully, was chosen for the job.”

– Yi “I came to the U.S. on an exchange visitor visa in 1998 when I was almost 20 years old to attend Southern Methodist University in Dallas. When I finished my graduate degree, I earned a fellowship spot with Miami’s New World Symphony, where I met my future husband Justin Bartels — Colorado Symphony’s Principal Trumpet.

“We got married and went on to perform in Birmingham, where Justin grew up, and Ohio before coming to Denver in 2008 when Justin won the Principal Trumpet position just before our first daughter was born. I auditioned in 2010 for a section violin spot with Colorado Symphony and was very happy to have gotten in!

“When I came to the U.S., I wasn’t planning on immigrating here, though I always admired America and its people. But one never knows what is in store for them. After a few visa statuses, piles of paperwork, several interviews, and a substantial amount of money I have become a proud U.S. citizen in September 2016.”

– Myroslava

Everyday Life “I have been Assistant Concertmaster with the Symphony for almost three years, and I am still discovering new perspectives on music and even of myself every season. I also find opportunities to perform smaller scale chamber music and concertos in our community.

“Denver is beautiful. I love the weather, the mountains, and the dynamic nature of the city. I live in the Capitol Hill area and love exploring new restaurants — especially for dim sum and Japanese food.”

– Yi “I really enjoy living in Denver. Outdoors is my favorite place to be and Colorado is the perfect state for that. In fall of 2015, [Justin and I] welcomed our second daughter to the family. Since then, my main hobby is trying to not drop any balls in terms of getting to places on time; preparing for concerts; and keeping the children fed, healthy, and happy.

“Besides my coworkers, I enjoy socializing people in my church, Holy Transfiguration of Christ Cathedral in Globeville. It’s a welcoming group of people and I feel fortunate to have found them.”

– Myroslava So many different purposes attract and keep our musicians stateside: better job opportunities, promising higher education, even marriage and family. No matter the reason, the Colorado Symphony is beyond fortunate to have an orchestra of talented, dedicated musicians playing together to make a beautiful, unified sound.
