A Welcome from Todd Zimbelman, OMEA President Welcome to the 2018 OMEA All-State Gala Concert. As President of the Oregon Music Education Association, I could not be more proud of your child’s achievements and the tremendous music programs and teachers across our state. Congratulations on having a student selected to perform in one of our many Honor Ensembles! Being a part of one of these ensembles is a huge honor, and OMEA is grateful for your support and dedication to make this possible. These students get to rehearse with amazing conductors and world-class clinicians. We are so fortunate that Oregon has an outstanding reputation for high quality honor groups with gifted and positive students. I am excited for the experiences your student has received at the 2018 All-State Conference.

We have an amazing team of conference planners that volunteer their time to run an outstanding conference. This team is led by our conference chair, Ms. Kathy Briggs. Congratulations to Kathy and her conference planning team. The conference and All-state performances would not be possible without their hard work and dedication.

I hope the memories created at this event will last a lifetime. Please take a moment to reflect on the impact of music education. Be vocal with your local school and state representatives and be sure to advocate for strong music programs in your area. Parents of All-State students know better than anyone the impact music has had on the lives of these fine musicians.

I hope you enjoy these performances. Thank you for your continued support of music education in Oregon!

Many thanks to the Conference Chairs, Area Chairs, and Managers for their dedication to your students and music education.

Leo Kitajima, Orchestra Conductor Leo Kitajima was born and raised in Los Angeles, and received his early formal music training at the Colburn School of Performing Arts.

Leo has always been interested in exploring and learning from all musical forms and genres. He pursued his musical exploration and studies at the University of Southern California, earning a B.M in Jazz Studies as the only violinist in the jazz program. He also performed with the orchestra, new music ensemble, jazz combo, and Latin-jazz band. His eclectic musical palate has given him the opportunity to perform alongside many legendary musicians, such as Tony Bennet, Arturo Sandoval, Christian McBride and Stevie Wonder.

Passionate about promoting musical creativity to young students through music education, Leo has earned a Master in Music Education with an emphasis on improvisation and composition from Northwestern University. He has also organized several non-traditional improvisation and composition workshops with a group named, WE ARE LIKE MUSIC. Some of the workshops included learning to improvise by “reading” fish swimming at the Aquarium of the Pacific (Long Beach, CA) or creating hip-hop beats using graphic notation and string instruments with Money Mark (Beastie Boys, Beck).
