FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2025 MICHAEL F. HARRAH SYMPHONY HALL

This concert is part of the 2024-2025 Murdy Foundation Concert Season

Dear Friends & Families, It is my privilege to welcome you to the 2024-2025 performance season at Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA)! I am so honored to introduce this year’s amazing lineup of student performances and events.

This school year marks an exceptional milestone, as OCSA has now resided and flourished in the city of Santa Ana for 25 years! Over the past quarter of a century, the OCSA campus in Santa Ana has seen countless performances and served as the launching pad for thousands of dreams. Our campus has also provided a home away from home for students (and staff!) from Santa Ana and beyond. I cannot wait to see how our legacy within Santa Ana continues to grow and evolve.

As we open yet another exciting chapter in the history of the school, I would like to give a warm welcome to our new Chief Operations Officer, Dr. Gregory Endelman. Not only does he bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position, but he is also a great and caring human being who is ready to do what it takes to help our school be the best it can be for our students and staff.

I am looking forward to partnering with Dr. Endelman, along with our esteemed administrators, faculty, and staff, to take OCSA into this next chapter!

At this time, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to our 2024-2025 corporate season sponsors, Pendry Newport Beach, Farmers & Merchants Bank, Boot Barn, and Yamaha, as well as to our Board of Trustees, Foundation Board of Directors, Emeritus Board, President’s Circle, and Encore members. The continued success of OCSA’s mission would not be possible without their support, leadership, and vision.

Finally, I must acknowledge our parents, alumni, administrators, faculty and staff, members of the local community, and most importantly, our student artists.

Our students are the inspiration and driving force behind what we do every single day.

I am thrilled to have you join me in celebrating another impressive performance season.

Please enjoy all of the magic OCSA has to offer!

With gratitude,

Teren M. Shaffer President & CEO Orange County School of the Arts

ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

About the

Classical Voice Conservatory CONSERVATORY OVERVIEW The Classical Voice Conservatory is designed as a college-preparatory program focused on vocal arts, ideal for young singers who are passionate about vocal expression and interested in the world of classical singing. Modeled after wellestablished collegiate programs from across the nation, the curriculum provides the perfect balance of performance, academic music, and industry-related courses. Students are immersed in the fundamental elements of music for both solo and ensemble singing and are introduced to what it takes to be a classical singer in today’s industry. Students benefit from the expertise of the Classical Voice faculty of professionals, most of whom hold a master’s degree in music and/or possess more than 10 years of experience in the professional music industry.

RYAN REITHMEIER, D.M.A. Director

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES The Classical Voice Conservatory has recently launched a partnership with the Metropolitan Opera’s MET Live in Schools initiative, which exposes students in grades 10-12 to MET Live in HD broadcasts, private interviews with MET artists and staff, and access to the MET’s rich online resources. Classical Voice is also unique in that its leadership has access to an advisory committee made up of industry professionals teaching in the collegiate setting. Members include Ann Baltz, leading opera educator; Ken Cazan, Resident Stage Director at USC Thornton Opera; Jonathan Talberg, Director of Choral Activities at the Bob Cole Conservatory; and Jessica Rivera, Grammy Award-winning opera singer. Each year, a limited number of scholarships for private vocal coaching are offered exclusively to Classical Voice students, to supplement their conservatory training.

WHAT IS KIWIN’S?

CNH KIWIN’S (California, Nevada, Haiwaii), similar to its KEY CLUB counterparts, is an student-led club that stretches among multiple schools, including OCSA. This club promotes a sense of community and allows students easy access to various COMMUNITY SERVICE events. Students can learn to strengthen skills such as LEADERSHIP, collaborating with others, and can learn the significance of supporting your community. This looks great on COLLEGE APPLICATIONS, especially since joining this club can open up opportunities for SCHOLARSHIPS, AWARDS, and NETWORKING.

One of CNH KIWIN’S major focuses/service events puts emphasis on students promoting education and literacy, focused on youth, ages 5-9. This is just one of the many community service opportunities strengthening students’ connection with their area.
