Performing Chopin Concerto #2

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

BIOGRAPHIES

Jeremy Lee, age 15, is a freshman at the Orange County School of the Arts. He has played piano for eleven years and cello for six, passing CM Advanced level in both instruments and qualifying for Panel masterclass in cello. He has won numerous awards at Satori and SYMF, winning the Special Award for piano at the 2022 Satori Grand Prize Contest. He also won third at the International Conero piano competition. He has been principal cellist of Pacific Symphony Santiago Strings and All-Southern, assistant principal of All-State String Orchestra, and is a current member of Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra.

He has always enjoyed playing and creating music of many genres, arranging music with online notation programs, Chrome Music Lab, and Minecraft noteblocks. In 6th grade, he composed a piece for PTA Reflections and won first place, advancing to the district level.

Outside of music, he is captain of the OCSA Division B Science Olympiad team and co-founder of SciConnect Initiative, a non-profit that creates online video science courses. He helps organize volunteer senior center concerts and is a penguin aficionado. He has 14,000 trophies across two Clash Royale accounts and 20,000 Brawl Stars trophies.

Cinnamon Suite was originally a 5-movement suite with each movement inspired by a different emotion.

The movements were not written in order, but developed individually to build a series. The goal from the beginning wasn’t to create a narrative, but to write music that stayed honest to what each moment felt like at the time it was written. Some came from a strong musical idea right away while others began with just a texture and developed slowly. The process was less about building a structure and more about listening to how each emotion wanted to sound on its own terms.

The first selection was based on a feeling of frustration. It begins as a simple waltz and grows in intensity as the chords stay the same throughout. The second selection was inspired by a feeling of uneasy contentment, hence the name. While the piece stays in a mostly major key, the chords constantly shift until finally settling. The final movement reflects unbridled happiness; upbeat rhythms and constant motion concludes in an exciting and hopeful finale.

Special Thanks To Our Families

Thank you to all of our OCSA families who have contributed this year through the Conservatory Funding Agreement (CFA) in support of their child’s arts conservatory experience.

Your contributions specifically support conservatory salaries, facilities, equipment and supplies, performance opportunities, guest artist master teachers, and field trips.

We can’t make the OCSA magic happen without you!

Advancing Care Through Clinical Trials and Research The St. Jude Crosson Cancer Institute

Ongoing research and clinical trials are creating breakthroughs in cancers once thought insurmountable—and we are a leader in bringing these benefits from the lab to the bedside.

Our specialists routinely use advanced genomic testing to identify the DNA alterations driving the growth of a patient’s tumor, allowing us to identify treatments and clinical trials that target those mutations. As part of the Precision Oncology Alliance, a collaboration of the nation’s leading cancer research centers, we o er over 100 clinical trials focused on dozens of di erent cancers—giving our patients access to some of the most promising and aggressive treatments available.

For more information or to learn about eligibility requirements for each trial, call St. Jude Oncology Research at (714) 992-3000 ext. 4332.

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.
