NC Symphony Has Far-Reaching Impact on Music Education Wilkes Concert December 1, 8:00 p.m. JAWCC Mike, age 17, is a serious violinist who wants to go to Juilliard. LaMont, age 11, is a fifth grader who’s not sure what an orchestra sounds like. Amy, age 12, is intrigued with the flute and wants to learn to play it. All of these young people, and hundreds like them across the State, are touched each year by the North Carolina Symphony. To be a North Carolina Symphony musician is also to be a music educator. To some extent that is true of all symphony orchestra players, but not to the extent that it’s true with this unique orchestra with a broader commitment to music education than any other in the country. The State of North Carolina’s commitment to the arts is the difference- -ever since the famous "Horn Tootin’ Bill” was passed in 1943 to make it possible with state funding to take the orchestra to children and adults throughout North Carolina. TTie educational impact of The North Carolina Symphony’s 65 professional musicians is far-reaching and deeply imbedded. It speaks to the dreams of the three children mentioned earlier. It means that Mike, the serious musician, can acquire a teacher-mentor like Concert- master Brian Reagin and have a good chance to attend a highly regarded music conservatory. It means that LaMont will not only hear the full symphony perform in his small town but will learn from his own music teacher about Beethoven and Mozart and how orchestra instruments fit together. He will always remember singing along with the orchestra. And it means Amy will take lessons from a professional flutist and find out if she likes music; she may give up flute lessons when she realizes she won’t be another Rampal, but she will have added music to the many things she now appreciates. Here’s a look at a few of the key ways The North Carolina Symphony brings music education to the children and adults of North Carolina: • The North Carolina Symphony performs approximately 60 full- orchestra music education concerts to more than 80,000 school children in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades across the State. • Most of the orchestra members teach private music lessons and/or teach at colleges and universities, such as Meredith College, Duke University, UNC-Greensboro, UNC-Chapel Hill, ECU, Saint Augustine’s College, Shaw University and Saint Mary’s College. • The NC Symphony sponsors the Triangle Youth Philharmonic, a community youth orchestra. NCS Principal Violist Hugh Partridge is the music director/conductor and several other NCS musicians act as coaches, while the NC Symphony conductors act as guest conductors. • The NCS has a string internship program for eight advanced music performance students enrolled in institutions of higher learning in North Carolina. These interns play with the orchestra at key perfor mances. • The NCS sponsors two different competitions - a yearly one for secondary school students and one every four years for young professionals -the Bryan International String Competition sponsored by the Bryan Family Foundation and offering a top prize of $12,000. • A video tape of a music education concert was created to be used by music teachers throughout the State. Northern Telecom and the NC General Assembly made the tape possible. And a joint project with North Carolina Public Television and the Glaxo Foundation, Inc. has made it possible to broadcast several youth-oriented programs. The Symphony will come to Wilkesboro on Thursday, December 1, 1994', for a Holiday Pops concert with the full orchestra. The concert is at 8 p.m. in the Walker Center on the campus of Wilkes Community College. Tickets for the performance can be purchased at the Walker Community Center Box Office, by calling (910) 651-8666, or at the door on the night of the concert. Adults pay $15, senior citizens $10 and students $8. A Children’s Concert for all Wilkes County fifth graders will be held Friday morning December 2 at 10:00 a.m. The Children’s Concert is free.
