Introduction from the OMEA President Welcome to the 2022 OMEA All-State Concerts.

As President of the Oregon Music Education Association, I am immensely proud of our students’ achievements along with the tremendous music programs and teachers across the state. Being selected to be in these ensembles is an impressive testament to our students’ perseverance and commitment, especially in light of the circumstances of these past two years. These students have had the opportunity to rehearse with amazing conductors and world-class clinicians alongside the top student musicians in our state. We are so fortunate that Oregon has an outstanding reputation for high quality honor groups with highly skilled and engaged students. I am so very proud of the experiences the students have received in preparation for today’s concert.

We have an incredible team of conference planners that volunteer their time to run an outstanding conference and all-state experience. This year’s team is led by our conference chair, Ben Lawson and the All-State Ensembles Co-Chairs Megan and Branden Hansen. Congratulations to Ben, Megan, and Branden, their planning teams, and our ensemble managers. This conference and our 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 for these incredible students. Among many losses and missed opportunities from the past two years, many of us have been particularly impacted by the inability to make and listen to music in person. Now that we are once again able to join together, I ask that you 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. Enjoy the performance and thank you for your continued support of music education in Oregon!

Gratefully, Jeremy Zander

I started my teaching career doing elementary strings in Grants Pass, then moved to the middle/elementary level for many years before moving to GPHS. I have taught strings at every school but one in our district. I currently have three orchestras at GPHS and teach beginning strings at the Elementary level, as well as teach our auditioned middle school Honor Orchestra with Laura Boldon and Kaydee Willis. I love all three levels of teaching and feel lucky to have spent significant time with each age group.

I am excited for the opportunity to help strengthen and advance orchestra teaching, support, and collaboration in string education. I love violin, music, teaching……my favorite thing is taking my students from just knowing the notes and rhythms to creating and presenting something truly unique and special and wholly us. I love the look on their faces when we can feel and move together and the excitement they bring and have before performances. My favorite quote that I share with all of my classes: “Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move them to tears. Your own must flow. To convince them, you must first yourself, believe.” Winton S. Churchill

Doug Spata, Conductor Doug Spata was born in St. Louis, Missouri but spent a period of his childhood in Kandy, Sri Lanka - an experience that left him with a lifelong curiosity and appreciation for world cultures, music and art. His interest in music composition began at an early age and led him to study music theory, history and orchestration.

Mr. Spata is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati CollegeConservatory of Music with a degree in Music Education. Though he is a clarinetist by training, his years of experience as an orchestra teacher in Charlotte, North Carolina and in Cincinnati have led him to compose primarily for strings.

Mr. Spata’s first published work, Gauntlet, has gone on to become one of the staples of the string repertoire and several of his subsequent publications have earned the J.W. Pepper Editor’s Choice award and have been short-listed as part of their “Basic Library.” Mr. Spata’s music can now be found on nearly every state’s approved contest lists. His unique musical style and attention to pedagogical needs has made his works favorites among teachers, students and audiences and his music has been performed around the U.S. and the world. Besides his music for student musicians, Mr. Spata has composed an opera, ballet scores, symphonies and many other orchestral and chamber works for ensembles of all sizes. He currently lives in Ohio.
