<span style="color: #330033; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On
January 10, 2010, Haiti was rocked by a massive earthquake. The death toll was estimated
to be nearly 250,000. Three weeks later, the Longwood Symphony Orchestra
coordinated a concert of healing to raise funds for Partners In Health and to
bring the Haitian community together in solidarity with Boston’s musical
community. “Symphonic Relief for Haiti” was a success on many levels: it united
200 musicians, and was attended by 500 people, including members of Boston’s
Haitian diaspora, raising $90,000 for Partners In Health. </span></div>

<span style="color: #330033; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One of the outgrowths
of “Symphonic Relief for Haiti” was the development of a partnership among
several organizations committed to improving healthcare in Haiti: Spaulding
Rehabilitation Hospital, Partners In Health, Partners HealthCare International,
MGH Institute of Health Professions, Institute for Human Centered Design, and
the Longwood Symphony Orchestra. Looking beyond the immediate disaster relief,
these organizations were concerned about the long-term care that many of the
survivors would require, including intensive rehabilitative care for the hundreds
of newly disabled victims of the earthquake. </span></div>

<br />Pianist Jannie Lo, winner of the 2011 Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts Concerto Competition will perform the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto with Longwood Symphony Orchestra on Wednesday August 17, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">Ms. Lo grew up in San Francisco, California where she started the piano at the age of three. She went on to study piano in Baltimore and in Freiburg, Germany. When asked what city she considers "home," she replied: </span>
<br />
<br /><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im"><div> </div><div> </div>Because I have lived in a number of places, I have always had a desire to search for my real 'home', like how the Little Prince always yearns to go back home, but I am realizing lately that 'home' is perhaps in my own self, and to be at home everywhere I go, is to be at peace with one's self.
<br />
<br /></div><div><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">This is Ms. Jannie Lo's fifth summer participating in the Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts Annual Summer Festival. What makes it so special?</span>
<br />
<br />I have been to many summer festivals, and this is definitely one of my favorite places to be. The faculty are of such high caliber, and each of them are truly unique and special artists.Their lessons and master classes are wonderful. Having the opportunity to converse with them individually is an inspiration. Each conversation has been a mind and heart opening experience, and life changing because each of them has their own inspiring story to tell.
<br />
<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">This is the 20th anniversary of the Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts Summer Festival. Jannie Lo explains and essential part of its longevity and success.</span>
<br />
<br />Dr. Cathy Chan [the founder of the Foundaion] makes it such a well-rounded festival, with trips to Tanglewood, Tai-chi classes, etc. Dr Chan, the founder and director, is also one of the most generous and kind persons I know, and her spirit pervades the festival.
<br />
<br /></div><div class="im"><div> </div><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">Any thoughts about the Tchaikovsky? Is it a work you have wanted to play? When did you first hear the work?</span>
<br />
<br /></div><div class="im"><div> </div><div> </div></div><div>I have wanted to play this piece all my life, since I heard [Marta] Argerich's recording as a child. It was a coincidence that I entered the competition actually, because I had been learning it, and only realized later that it was the piece designated for the competition this year. I entered it thinking it would help me learn the piece faster.
<br />
<br /></div> <div> </div><div>Every time before I play the Tchaikovsky, I always think that the spirit is one of the highest nobility and the greatest generosity. The famous first theme is actually a Ukranian folk tune, a melody Tchaikovsky first heard performed by blind beggar musicians in the market. I read somewhere that the folk tune was about the coming of spring, but I have not been able to find any other source to verify the information.
<br />
<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">Jannie Lo also reflected about Longwood Symphony Orchestra and its unique connection to music and medicine:</span>
<br />
<br /></div><div>Dr Chan teaches us a Chinese character to all of us every evening at our meeting and explains the philosophical meaning behind the construction of each character. Tonight, it was the second character that makes up the word 'music' in Chinese -- "<em>yue</em>". She explained to us that it is the same character as medicine, minus three strokes on the top.
<br />
<br />Thus, music is truly synonymous with medicine and healing. It is our mission as musicians, to help heal; it is something that is vital in this world, and we need to remember that everytime we are given the opportunity to do our mission on stage...</div> <div> </div></div>Longwood Symphony Orchestrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603125859258549910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321368431117827658.post-65388211259050878392011-08-14T12:26:00.010-04:002011-08-15T00:23:25.341-04:00Getting to know Guest Conductor David Commanday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGXzfpxwPVQvBpO6A6isrlNMb8MpJz315Sgotfdny8pYryJrabE5c00v8uQ_a6cgO93uzk1ORg3BQv3XAfgXv2wQbbDKAs4GVwvsYQmKBwFUsIvX6rUuEQ6TYUl5A82qtr92em-9XgGwY/s1600/David+Commanday.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGXzfpxwPVQvBpO6A6isrlNMb8MpJz315Sgotfdny8pYryJrabE5c00v8uQ_a6cgO93uzk1ORg3BQv3XAfgXv2wQbbDKAs4GVwvsYQmKBwFUsIvX6rUuEQ6TYUl5A82qtr92em-9XgGwY/s320/David+Commanday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640750539063696066" border="0" /> </a><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">
<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Guest conductor David Commanday will be leading Longwood Symphony Orchestra on August 17, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. for its annual FREE summer concert at the DCR Hatch Memorial Shell on the Esplanade.
<br />
<br />Music Director of the<a href="http://www.heartlandfestivalorchestra.org/"> Heartland Festival Orchestra</a> in Illinois, Commanday is no stranger to Boston, having previously attended Harvard University, and conducted the Boston Ballet and Greater Boston Youth Symphony.
<br />
<br />David Commanday was recently named Conductor of the Year 2011 by the Illinois Council of Orchestras.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://http://www.heartlandfestivalorchestra.org/"></a>
<br />
<br />
<br />We caught up with Maestro Commanday a few days ago and he shared his thoughts about music and healing:
<br />
<br /></span>1. Where were you born? Do you come from a musical family?</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:12pt;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">I was born and grew up in Berkeley, California. My father was a musician who studied at Harvard and Juilliard, He was conductor of choruses at U.C. Berkeley, and then later music critic at the San Francisco Chronicle. My mother was a pianist, but her profession was teaching languages.
<br />
<br /></span>
<br /></span></span><div class="im"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">2. When did you start the cello? Was this your first instrument? Do you play other instruments?</span>
<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">My first instrument was piano, starting around 6 years old, but the cello is what captured me, when I started at age 9. I had a magic teacher, Margaret Rowell, who brought up generations of wonderful cellists in the Bay Area.</span></div><span style="font-size:12pt;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></span><div class="im">
<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">3. What is it about the cello that you love most?</span>
<br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;font-size:100%;" >The cello is how I found my most personal musical voice. When I play there is a very deep connection to who I am and what I need to express. That connection is what brought me into music. For me keeping that connection alive, on the cello or with the orchestra, is what making music is all about. </span>
<br />
<br /></div><div class="im"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">4. When did you start conducting? What was your inspiration?</span>
<br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;font-size:100%;" >I began conducting in college -- first at Indian Hill (summer arts workshop in Stockbridge, MA), after my freshman year at Harvard, and then more and more. I conducted pick-up groups, mostly at Lowell House for special concerts</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" >we organized.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;"> Conducting the Lowell House Opera in my senior year was what really hooked me -- guiding and leading so many individual spirits in the re-creation of a work, which becomes far more than the sum of the individuals and far more than my self, was immensely rewarding. I was inspired and influenced by the conducting of Leonard Bernstein, Seiji Ozawa, and Aaron Copland, when I played principal cello as a student at Tanglewood.</span></div><span style="font-size:12pt;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></span><div class="im">
<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> 5. You mentioned that you first wanted to be a brain surgeon. What changed? </span>
<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Around the time of the opera (despite having taking some pre-med courses and majored in psychology), I came to recognize that making music was my calling, and that this was my path to fulfillment. In considering future careers I believed it would be for me both the biggest challenge and the most rewarding path to follow. Experience has shown that I was right in both respects!</span></div><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></span><div class="im">
<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">7. Do you consider music to be healing?</span>
<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Music heals in deep and manifold ways. In shaping time it offers not merely distraction from the accelerated speed and intensity of our lives, but real refreshment and restoration. Hearts often suffer from stifled, overly-controlled emotions - so much goes on inside us which cannot be expressed. A song can be the flight of a beautiful bird released from a cage - released not only from the singer, but from the listener as well. To sing well (I include instrumental playing as a variety of singing) we must breathe, and breathe the right way. It raises the chi, and accesses our fundamental vitality and strength. Well-made music also sets right the listener (who makes the music as well, when truly taking it in).</span>
<br /></div><span style="font-size:12pt;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:Arial;">
<br /></span></span><div class="im"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">8. Any comments about how you chose the repertoire for this program? Any piece that is particularly special to you?</span>
<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In choosing repertoire for this concert I considered the outdoor informality of the setting. This is music that is moving and and thrilling, and has some humor as well. Fledermaus and Dvorak 8 I came to love during my conducting training in Vienna. I also played them as cellist in the Vienna Volksoper Orchestra, an experience which deepened by appreciation and sense of the Viennese tradition in these works. There are other connections with our encores, but I won't give those away quite yet...</span></div><span style="font-size:12pt;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></span><div class="im">
<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">9. Is there anything special to you about LSO in particular?</span>

Some of them go away to do research, others find time for musical pursuits.<br /><br />During the early weeks of August, here are some of the activities that our members have been engaged in:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pan Mass Challenge:<br /></span>As if they did not have enough to keep them busy, two of our musician members, Dr. Wolfram Goessling and Dr. Mark Gebhardt, have been toning up all summer in preparation for <a href="http://www.pmc.org/about.asp?ArticleID=18">Pan Mass Challenge</a>, the two-day biking marathon that raises money for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.<br />Both have devoted their lives to treating cancer - Mark is an orthopedist who specializes in bone cancer and will be riding with one of his patients, a cancer survivor.<br /><br />Wolfram is an oncologist specializing in liver cancer. For him, this is a personal journey as well. Wolfram rides in memory of his father (pictured below).

This remarkable group of medical school professors from Mali and Ghana are visiting the United States for an intensive 9 week fellowship in Boston, sponsored by Novartis. Their research varies from infectious disease interests in tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and Leishmaniasis to public health and pharmacology, studying sustainable food sources and the search for bioactive compounds from natural products.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:100%;" >Seeding Labs CEO and Founder Dr. Nina Dudnik, launched the fellowship in 2010. She talked about how important it was to connect scientists around the world. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:100%;" >Violinists Sherman Jia (a 5th year HMS-HST student) and Dr. Mark Emerson (post-doc in Genetics) found scientists who shared their similar research interests. Dr. Lisa Wong met Dr. Dr. Rita Dickson, a professor of pharmacology, who studied at King's College in London before returning to educate the next generation in her native Ghana.<br /><br />The evening concluded with a music, as Ashley Lau, a 2nd year M.D./Ph.D. student and Lisa Wong performed works by Bach, Kreisler and Elgar. Following the concert, many of the guests shared that they had never heard a performance by violin and piano before. Some had never seen a violin, and a lively conversation about similar African stringed musical instruments ensued.<br /><br />We look forward to continuing our conversation with these talented scientists, even after they have returned to their home countries, and are grateful to Seeding Labs for its vision.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 18px;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:12pt;" ><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" >Music on the Esplanade</span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8zrnqUPPA5cxDOgBZ0COL21JlO9im3WuuAts4lcfNsCkwm-t7ifL0WlFrpOQyssOolra3XeHU7TntFlpK4a5Xakm_iD6cKpLIhK3Bbo7yY8e2wbdq9biSZ2hkHNLNLKnSC-4AirFi0w/s1600/IMG_4032.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8zrnqUPPA5cxDOgBZ0COL21JlO9im3WuuAts4lcfNsCkwm-t7ifL0WlFrpOQyssOolra3XeHU7TntFlpK4a5Xakm_iD6cKpLIhK3Bbo7yY8e2wbdq9biSZ2hkHNLNLKnSC-4AirFi0w/s320/IMG_4032.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637843727705540882" border="0" /></a><br /><br />On August 17 at 2011, Longwood Symphony musicians will come back together to launch the 2011-12 season with their annual summer concert at the DCR Hatch Memorial Shell on the Esplanade.<br /><br />Guest Conductor David Commanday will lead the orchestra in a performance of Johann Strauss' Overture to <span style="font-style: italic;">Die Fledermaus</span>, Tchaikovksy's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the winner of the Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts concerto competition, and Dvorak's pastoral Symphony No. 8.<br /><br />This free summer event is a season favorite--Bring your friends and family with a picnic and blanket to enjoy music under the stars.<br /><br /><br /><span style=" line-height: 18px; font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:12pt;" ><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span>Longwood Symphony Orchestrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603125859258549910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321368431117827658.post-27923348800271513962010-11-20T00:16:00.011-05:002010-11-20T00:43:17.341-05:00Celebrating a founding member - Dr. Leonard Zon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivkIWkkrFjhTwOwIRHC2DZ1lnptDGvNTlu7MF_kl3DrWFUPhkG3zrFYiws-KeNbk8rev29u8Zad7y213eI7Mr3MYp_Ux9M84s6zQkhv91r4hmMb-OcjxSrCBlXxQBA1RCPPnuqKpu_yrE/s1600/286_Len_Zon_4.14.07_030.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivkIWkkrFjhTwOwIRHC2DZ1lnptDGvNTlu7MF_kl3DrWFUPhkG3zrFYiws-KeNbk8rev29u8Zad7y213eI7Mr3MYp_Ux9M84s6zQkhv91r4hmMb-OcjxSrCBlXxQBA1RCPPnuqKpu_yrE/s320/286_Len_Zon_4.14.07_030.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541499837136989042" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;">Watch Len Zon on <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/secretlife/scientists/len-zon/">NOVA</a></span>!<br /><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><a href="http://www.longwoodsymphony.org/leonardzon.html">Dr. Leonard Zon </a>has played first trumpet with the Longwood Symphony since 1984.

What is the link between artistic and scientific discovery?<br /><br />O</span>n Wednesday evening November 17, Longwood Symphony Orchestra and Hotel Marlowe held the first of a three-part series on Discovery and Creativity in the hotel's cozy library.<br /><br />A string quartet of musician scientists from Longwood Symphony Orchestra were joined by Nobel laureate and MIT professor Dr. Richard Schrock for a thought-provoking fireside chat on creativity. They were:<br /><p style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Psyche Loui, Ph.D. Music and Neuroimaging Lab, BIDMC (violin)<br />Christopher Richards, Ph.D. Propulsion Physiology Lab, Rowland Institute (violin)<br />Michael Cho, M.D., MPH, Brigham and Womens Hospital (viola)<br />Heidi Greulich, Ph.D. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Broad Institute (cello)</span></p> The evening opened with a movement of Mozart's Quartet in G major. Then each musician spoke about his/her scientific work, from cancer biology to clinical research on chronic obstructive lung disease to animal movemnt to the neuroscience of music.<br /><br />Dr. Richard Schrock received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2005 " <i>for the development of the metathesis method in organic synthesis." </i>A professor at MIT, Dr. Schrock recalled his experience as a young scientist at the age of 8, when he received his very first chemistry set. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1YmOsrG-w1RqFL_FJ6RABYYG_EJHRS1igULJ04fJgkQd8w3G34k3OdZE-ymz6J_CATao6DYcxPDEjo-1Xq-Q_ahloLa4gpx-Aa2dwndjmw6fJxLpjA30snfQFn2nTKAO40dVpEXLHPaw/s1600/IMG_4335.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1YmOsrG-w1RqFL_FJ6RABYYG_EJHRS1igULJ04fJgkQd8w3G34k3OdZE-ymz6J_CATao6DYcxPDEjo-1Xq-Q_ahloLa4gpx-Aa2dwndjmw6fJxLpjA30snfQFn2nTKAO40dVpEXLHPaw/s320/IMG_4335.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540774354779453426" border="0" /></a>"Even then," he said, "I remember enjoying seeing how I could combine chemicals to create new reactions...and I liked to blow things up!" While Schrock had little memory of his two years playing trumpet and tuba, he later developed a great love of music and a fascination of its structure, complexity and beauty.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcO3ixXp23rAWSDrPRJrh1egNs33XgHd-6hbG3EK1akF6vMMPXBhBuC7n_EMkQlrDJ79cFK8ORHThEhZ0hWl_crqv5p-fSO_tcVR39wCjdAOO_KXXGGWrioY86va1V7LY4BSpCBluiDMM/s1600/IMG_4338.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcO3ixXp23rAWSDrPRJrh1egNs33XgHd-6hbG3EK1akF6vMMPXBhBuC7n_EMkQlrDJ79cFK8ORHThEhZ0hWl_crqv5p-fSO_tcVR39wCjdAOO_KXXGGWrioY86va1V7LY4BSpCBluiDMM/s320/IMG_4338.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540772931459158802" border="0" /></a><br /><br />A conversation ensued among the scientists comparing the study of music to the study of science, and comparing the composition of music to the development of a hypothesis based scientific experiment. They observed that both science and music require a high degree of discipline, attention to detail and a basic skill level as a baseline--but that creativity comes when one takes a risk and challenges expectations.<br /><br />The evening concluded with a more Mozart by the quartet and wine and hors d'oeuvres, provided by Hotel Marlowe, but many felt the conversation on creativity had just begun.Longwood Symphony Orchestrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603125859258549910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321368431117827658.post-3350188344890133872010-11-07T01:10:00.004-04:002010-11-07T01:18:00.487-04:00Joanna Porackova: Reflections on healing from the stage and at the bedside<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivk3wkmIUJXGMNu7I22HLJguB1aPBVwSu7UpAmI3AXG-yk3k1Qu5bO5GsjVN4tn5m3Bz_9vBSXkuzV4r-NqG4K6Qw6wCaguSGwAmC_xYnajLmWbuuGTmuJ55iTOnrorzQKLQ_iPKabO0k/s1600/186_Porackova,_Joanna-headshot.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivk3wkmIUJXGMNu7I22HLJguB1aPBVwSu7UpAmI3AXG-yk3k1Qu5bO5GsjVN4tn5m3Bz_9vBSXkuzV4r-NqG4K6Qw6wCaguSGwAmC_xYnajLmWbuuGTmuJ55iTOnrorzQKLQ_iPKabO0k/s320/186_Porackova,_Joanna-headshot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536670917473364626" border="0" /></a><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">On <a href="http://www.longwoodsymphony.org/december42010.html">December 4, 2010</a>, Longwood Symphony Orchestra will be joined again by internationally acclaimed soprano Joanna Porackova.

line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">After working for about 15 years as an intensive care nurse at Riley Hospital for Children, Childrens Hospital in Washington, DC. and the Boston Childrens Hospital, my goal was to complete my Master of Science degree in Parent Child Health Nursing so that I could teach nursing. Before pursuing my MS degree, while working in an adult Intensive Care and teaching nursing, I was accepted as a double major in Vocal performance at the Indiana University School of Music. I would teach nursing part time and then attend music classes.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">What an adventure! I was also singing in the elite chorus at Indiana University, traveling to NY to perform. I then decided I would really concentrate on pursuing my Masters degree and moved to Boston. I received a federal traineeship grant to work in Parent Child Health. After receiving my MS degree I taught at BU, Mass College of Pharmacy and was Education Director at the Greenery Rehab Center (62 beds traumatic injury). </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">It was there that I formally combined my music and nursing by developing vocal programs for the brain injured. I have always sung to my patients and had a strong belief in the healing powers of the human voice. I started a research project observing the effects of the singing voice with brain injured clients. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">It was during this time that my fellow nursing colleagues recommended that I study with a teacher at Boston Conservatory. I slowly got back into formal vocal study, and within four years or so of studying in NY with another teacher, Michael Trimble, I won a number of prestigious competitions... at the same time I was still teaching nursing! I would teach in the morning, and then drive to New York in the afternoon to attend Jerome Hines' Fellowship program Opera Music Theater International in the evening! I even sang Lady Macbeth in Verdi's MACBETH in NY after a week of teaching Nursing! </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">My voice career was launched and I sang all over the world: Paris Opera, Berlin Philharmonic, Salzburg Festival, Washington National Opera, and Hong Kong Opera, to name a few. When I returned home after a number of years singing in Europe, I wanted to get back into Nursing but without the stress. My daughter helped me find a job as a caregiver for the elderly with the Lexington Agency Homeinstead. I feel so grateful for my part-time work as a caregiver for elderly in the home. I have sung several programs at assisted living centers, but feel blessed to work on an individual basis-- not only giving home care, but using my voice in special ways to sing to and with my clients. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">I continue my professional vocal life as well--I am returning to sing with the Berlin Philharmonic under the direction of Sir Simon Rattle in 2012 and look forward to singing with the Longwood Symphony in Dec. 2010 (both Wagner Programs). I feel so grateful that I have been able to combine my two careers of vocal performance and nursing. My intention in both careers is to offer healing. Each career has helped the other. When I sing a dramatic role, I use my experience as a nurse from all the wonderful clients who have helped me understand their lives--their courage, their heart, their love-- to find the depth in an opera role that I am singing. The music itself has also helped me understand the importance of vibration, color, dynamics, that can be used to heal. I have been called the singing nurse and I am proud of it!</span></p>Longwood Symphony Orchestrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603125859258549910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321368431117827658.post-88497867100916504952010-09-16T01:12:00.003-04:002010-09-16T01:47:19.605-04:00The Arts of Compassion<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB861gb9-YFtZZ0XCuYl8bRFnc-S_NaF2CyW0UHiDtGOAO-1DnujsLOwSD_8C6rx92eknQpz8fkz4fhhh-5iwxWEPFAO-gJxhw1-_hYfpcypLcnos8TTGqPuCNGz5mnpXuLFKNX_fYjfo/s1600/IMG_1737.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB861gb9-YFtZZ0XCuYl8bRFnc-S_NaF2CyW0UHiDtGOAO-1DnujsLOwSD_8C6rx92eknQpz8fkz4fhhh-5iwxWEPFAO-gJxhw1-_hYfpcypLcnos8TTGqPuCNGz5mnpXuLFKNX_fYjfo/s320/IMG_1737.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517378667196180946" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Boston Arts Consortium for Health <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /></span></b><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Arts of Compassion</span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><i style="font-style: italic;">: Perspectives on Arts and Health </i></span><br /><br />On October 2, 2010, the 141st birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, experts will gather at Berklee College of Music to consider the role of compassion and the integration of the arts in healthcare. This symposium, which is open to the public, will stimulate conversation and celebrate the depth and diversity in Boston of those who teach and practice compassion through their art forms. <br /><br /><strong>The Arts of Compassion</strong> will be held at the David Friend Hall of in the Berklee College of Music from 9:00am-5:00 pm.<br /><br />Following the symposium, participants are invited to attend Longwood Symphony Orchestra's <a href="http://www.longwoodsymphony.org/ticketsconcerts/concertprograms.html" target="_self">season-opening concert on October 2</a><a href="http://www.longwoodsymphony.org/ticketsconcerts/concertprograms.html"> .</a><br /><br />A year ago, a remarkable group began meeting together at the Berklee College of Music. This group of engaged, curious and committed individuals all share an interest in the role of the arts in health care. Each month, the group gathers to hear a presentation about the remarkable work being done by one of its member organizations. BACH: Boston Arts Consortium for Health would now like to share its wealth of knowledge in the field of arts and health care with the greater Boston community.<br /><br />Conference topics will include expressive arts therapy for children in Roxbury, the role of the arts in the care of people living with Alzheimer's, Longwood Symphony's <span style="font-style: italic;">LSO on Call</span> program, and the vision of an artist/architect, The Healing Empowerment Center.<br /><br />During the midday break, participants will be invited to meet practitioners from <span style="font-style: italic;">The Integrative Medicine Alliance (IMA)</span>'s Mobile Clinic.<br /><br />The IMA is committed to deepening the quality of the human experience of health care. As part of that mission, the IMA promotes the integrated practice of complementary and conventional medical practices <span style="color: black;">as a means to support patients in their total healing. </span>The Mobile Clinic was created to enable people to learn about and experience some complementary health practices. Mobile Clinic attendees can interact with complementary medical practitioners in an informal and informational setting while having a brief experience (10-15 minutes) of a variety of practices. <span style="color: black;">The IMA has put on Mobile Clinics in a number of settings including medical schools and national and local health conferences. </span><br /><br />Registration for the conference will be through Berklee College of Music.

This remarkable summer Music Festival, directed by Dr. Cathy Chan and sponsored by her Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts, has introduced scores of talented young people to the United States over nineteen years. For many, the Festival is a life-changer - some return every summer, others enroll at Walnut Hill or go on to conservatory studies in the U.S.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhABljkzgFt4uUr3UOfRMGo8tKi_5dhvgYUznHuqvp5OTZMZfMQ652fKxv-zDqMm_WlwtWNlY_PWxFlctflRqDkf3_fq1txJGHCnQLE-Wnh4AeofB4tHYMwEiys1xNBTlLpCYeUZyoYzc/s1600/DSC_8737.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhABljkzgFt4uUr3UOfRMGo8tKi_5dhvgYUznHuqvp5OTZMZfMQ652fKxv-zDqMm_WlwtWNlY_PWxFlctflRqDkf3_fq1txJGHCnQLE-Wnh4AeofB4tHYMwEiys1xNBTlLpCYeUZyoYzc/s320/DSC_8737.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507730637827182642" border="0" /></a><br /> On Wednesday evening, August 18, 2010, 13 young orchestra musicians from the Summer Music Festival joined the musicians of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra for its annual summer performance.<br /><br />Pianist Rui Zhang, winner of the 2010 Concerto Competition, made her American debut at an American landmark, the Hatch Memorial Shell on the Esplanade on the banks of the Charles River.<br /><br />The concert drew a crowd of 9000, who cheered to Boston and Gershwin, loved the Beethoven and danced to Duke Ellington's "In the Mood."<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcFH1EpCrm4CvU_-WhofqiLz_-4OtBEDHXg1VAfr14S5J68qBN0Rk9OHfms8liyP15Dt6GSxSRmrRYUvJGp6q5TK9LVDt5s1yzWKa1bdSPMXgaVOnBUUli8DKIW3ZlUFP1MCQJNHGBTGY/s1600/DSC_9184.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcFH1EpCrm4CvU_-WhofqiLz_-4OtBEDHXg1VAfr14S5J68qBN0Rk9OHfms8liyP15Dt6GSxSRmrRYUvJGp6q5TK9LVDt5s1yzWKa1bdSPMXgaVOnBUUli8DKIW3ZlUFP1MCQJNHGBTGY/s320/DSC_9184.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507735464541522338" border="0" /></a>Longwood Symphony Orchestrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603125859258549910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321368431117827658.post-86985643569767752992010-08-15T00:58:00.015-04:002010-08-16T09:43:37.338-04:00Twenty year-old Chinese pianist makes her U.S. debut at Hatch Shell on the Esplanade<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFAEGmlq2l4E_uGgn6wOvFo1nDKBADYPdVNfLzkMJouGzKY1piBueUfuUVzSXSYAU78HD5Aabu7pmPi5XjO3S0JU7solKkj3iY3djFdINexbsToSPt6gr9HQRWB5oGUeXmojg1-Z_lnl4/s1600/Rui+Zhang.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFAEGmlq2l4E_uGgn6wOvFo1nDKBADYPdVNfLzkMJouGzKY1piBueUfuUVzSXSYAU78HD5Aabu7pmPi5XjO3S0JU7solKkj3iY3djFdINexbsToSPt6gr9HQRWB5oGUeXmojg1-Z_lnl4/s320/Rui+Zhang.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505497729753492674" border="0" /></a>For twenty year old pianist Rui Zhang, coming to Boston for the first time is special for two reasons. It is here, 7000 miles from Shanghai, that she has reconnected with her beloved piano teacher, Hung-Kuan Chen, and here that she will make her U.S. debut as piano soloist with the Longwood Symphony Orchestra.
<br />
<br />Born in 1989 in <a href="http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/gansu/lanzhou/">Lanzhou</a>, a city in Northwest China, Ms. Zhang began the piano at the young age of 3 1/2. When she was nine, she left her family to become a student at the prestigious Affiliated School of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. By the time she was fifteen, she was giving concert tours throughout China.
<br />
<br />Three years ago, Ms. Zhang was accepted into the college level of the Conservatory, and began her undergraduate studies with <a href="http://www.opus3artists.com/artists/hung-kuan-chen">Hung-Kuan Chen</a><a href="http://www.opus3artists.com/artists/hung-kuan-chen">, </a>a pianist well known to Boston audiences, then Chair of the Piano Department of the Shanghai Conservatory. When Mr. Chen was appointed to the piano faculty at New England Conservatory in 2009, he left Shanghai to return to Boston. Ms. Zhang now studies with Professor Xiang-yu Mao.
<br />
<br />This summer Rui Zhang has come to Boston to participate in the Annual Summer Festival at Walnut Hill sponsored by the <a href="http://www.chineseperformingarts.net/">Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts</a>. Each year, 30-40 young outstanding young musicians from Taiwan, China, and the United States come together to participate in an intensive three-week musical training program that includes private study with master faculty, chamber music and orchestral training. The program was an opportunity for Rui Zhang to reunite with her teacher.

<br />As the winner of the Foundation's annual Concerto Competition, Ms. Zhang will perform with the Longwood Symphony Orchestra at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade on Wednesday August 18.
<br />
<br />This year, LSO Artistic Director Jonathan McPhee chose George Gershwin's <span style="font-style: italic;">Rhapsody in Blue </span><span>as the featured work</span><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span> This distinctively American work made a big impression on Rui Zhang.
<br />
<br />"I have never been to the United States, and really love it. I had never played an American concerto before and it is so special to me that I will make my American debut here in Boston, playing this very special piece. And I am so grateful that my teacher Mr. Hung-Kuan Chen is here to teach me about its American nature. I have learned so much."

The land that was recovered became Boston's beloved Esplanade. Eighteen years later in 1929, a conductor named <a href="http://www.hatchshell.com/history.php">Arthur Fiedler </a>conducted the first free open air concert on the Esplanade, a tradition of classical music for the community that has continued to this day.
<br />
<br />Every summer, thousands of families pack their picnics, spread their blankets, and head to the Hatch Shell on the banks of the Charles River to hear these free concerts. The season begins with the now legendary and widely broadcast Fourth of July performance by the Boston Pops.
<br />
<br />For twenty-five years, Longwood Symphony Orchestra has also been a part of this musical tradition, performing its annual free classical concert on the Esplanade at the end of every summer .
<br />
<br />In 1995, as part of its mission of community engagement, Longwood Symphony Orchestra began a remarkably successful collaboration with the <a href="http://www.chineseperformingarts.net/">Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts</a> Summer Music Festival. This Festival offers a unique educational experience for talented young people from Taiwan, China and the United States. The program is the brainchild and passion of Dr. Catherine Chan, whose dedication and vision has brought hundreds of talented Chinese musicians to study in Boston for over twenty years.
<br />
<br />For most of these students, the Summer Music Festival at Walnut Hill is their first American experience. They spend three weeks at the Walnut Hill School for the Performing Arts in Natick with master artist faculty, honing their individual instrumental skills, learning chamber music, and sitting side-by-side in orchestra with the seasoned musicians of the LSO. But they do have a chance to put their instruments down to get to know Boston - from shopping, to Duck Boat Tours to a trip to Tanglewood.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgdAVyQBRwnbbgLyIx2jjk-oVmTqEz1ZnjRgeqAKFs36QA9pEH6qiv0E4TqYQvDIvxW7RMWhEqDRmJ63UYeOTQVJ6CWJ8Hl7ZgqJy5rl5wNzuPoz3MbplHbKYGWBKt9OjNE38AN5uM0w0/s1600/IMG_3066.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgdAVyQBRwnbbgLyIx2jjk-oVmTqEz1ZnjRgeqAKFs36QA9pEH6qiv0E4TqYQvDIvxW7RMWhEqDRmJ63UYeOTQVJ6CWJ8Hl7ZgqJy5rl5wNzuPoz3MbplHbKYGWBKt9OjNE38AN5uM0w0/s320/IMG_3066.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504018600268421602" border="0" /></a>
<br />
<br />The final highlight of this three-week camp is the chance to perform with the LSO on the Esplanade.
<br />
<br />And for the lucky winner of the annual Concerto Competition, it is a the chance to make his/her Boston and often American debut, performing for 9000 people.
<br />
<br />The winner of the first such Concerto Competition was a young 12-year old pianist named Lang Lang, who has gone on to a wildly successful international career. This performance was Lang Lang's American debut. Although at that time<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJjmwbHEJFPTPPa66Bz9trDjLbf2XZFQ3mmaCy76csChhkrPRcUKWFvXltvjH7HHZFgrguNC0QRdKv4tlYM4xMflIMhTJpCNLtvsNG3u4VNzvQaiBZC7qfqo4np1nrR_B25XeCt_Toabc/s1600/lang+lang.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJjmwbHEJFPTPPa66Bz9trDjLbf2XZFQ3mmaCy76csChhkrPRcUKWFvXltvjH7HHZFgrguNC0QRdKv4tlYM4xMflIMhTJpCNLtvsNG3u4VNzvQaiBZC7qfqo4np1nrR_B25XeCt_Toabc/s320/lang+lang.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505391398609897746" border="0" /></a> his feet could barely reach the pedals, even at that tender age, his performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 was riveting and memorable.
<br />
<br />On Wednesday August 18, Longwood Symphony will perform its 25th concert at the Hatch Shell, joined by the Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts students : 6 young violinists, 2 violists, 3 cellists, a bassoonist and clarinetist.
<br />
<br />The winner of the 2010 annual Summer Concerto Competition is Rui Zhang, <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtwREmAptaWu4Ps4G31DvmDqU1ISpWgSyHtKEsPYaWxPQigkwTfmKDKqVpT7SE9kX9SKJcX1pmKKXzVGlKxQssOwzPPkR_tQKEoNunJW3UqCcHyoddb7sDCfQzCMSlc5hM9BYEx7etB0Y/s1600/Rui+Zhang.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 255px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtwREmAptaWu4Ps4G31DvmDqU1ISpWgSyHtKEsPYaWxPQigkwTfmKDKqVpT7SE9kX9SKJcX1pmKKXzVGlKxQssOwzPPkR_tQKEoNunJW3UqCcHyoddb7sDCfQzCMSlc5hM9BYEx7etB0Y/s320/Rui+Zhang.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505397261501927202" border="0" /></a>a 21 year old student from Shanghai Conservatory.

The New York Herald predicted that “it will doubtless take rank among the most interesting piano concertos of recent years," but that "its great length and extreme difficulties bar it from performances by any but pianists of exceptional technical powers.”<br /><br />On Saturday evening in Jordan Hall, the brilliant 29 year-old British pianist, Philip Edward Fisher, will demonstrate just the sort of exceptional technique the New York Herald critics referred to a century ago. Rehearsals have been thrilling; a chance for great collaboration between Fisher, conductor Jonathan McPhee and musicians of the LSO. <br /><br />McPhee has paired the Rachmaninoff with Carl Nielsen's Symphony No. 4,"The Inextinguishable" a work that was premiered only seven years later in 1916. Nielsen himself described this monumental piece as “a sort of symphony in one movement, which is meant to represent all that we feel and think about life in the most fundamental sense of the word, that is, all that has the will to live and to move.”<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSnifnX5Sk405kR4e845dHBl8ZKGNWqhE-y3hJPUG_22vkf3smUn1PtnFkkuC3k15HwCZkoJAMvU-ib5mQE_Er3KeqBC6phVyXHuNY_Z4WAeliv07sBgn4DM3Fl2sB8XdZ4amsJ155nlQ/s1600/NAXOs+CD.gif"> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaasc38DtYGfqVd-FVUQo702bxiSqJPtF41jahx2RSPsulHmOywy_uwxSqBWF6JF13fUrewC8q8UrmZQ0uNJAgh3Kqm7X-vj5nt2YsHFIrKqB6qQYX99O2DSSPNqtPX-LvF93LzuXLxJM/s1600/NAXOs+CD.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaasc38DtYGfqVd-FVUQo702bxiSqJPtF41jahx2RSPsulHmOywy_uwxSqBWF6JF13fUrewC8q8UrmZQ0uNJAgh3Kqm7X-vj5nt2YsHFIrKqB6qQYX99O2DSSPNqtPX-LvF93LzuXLxJM/s320/NAXOs+CD.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465779412380235858" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Following the performance, Fisher will be on hand to sign his newly released CD.

We are practitioners of music and medicine and Heal our Community through Music through three major programs:<br />• By playing in shelters, hospices and senior centers<br />• By giving lecture performances that demonstrate creativity at the intersection of the arts and sciences<br />• AND our signature program: By sharing our concert stage at Jordan Hall with outstanding local nonprofit organizations such as Mattapan Community Health Center to help them build new relationships, get the word out, and grow. Since we started this program in 1991, we have worked with 38 different organizations, and have helped raise nearly $1 million dollars for our community’s health.<br /><br />About six years ago, I met Greg Bulger and Richard Dix, who many of you know well. Back then, they shared with me their vision to support health and the arts in our community—a vision from which they have never wavered. It was Greg who suggested that I get to know Mattapan Community Health Center.<br /><br />I have been a pediatrician for over 25 years. One thing I love about my profession is that special feeling and electricity that you feel when you walk into any well-run healthcare organization—an energy that radiates from people who care--people who are working to make a difference: in the life of a child, in the life of a family, in the life of a community<br /><br />This is an energy that is palpable.<br />THIS is the energy I felt when I walked into Mattapan Community Health Center the very first time and when I met Dr. Azzie Young.<br />It is the energy I feel every time I visit the health center.<br /><br />Azzie’s vision was to use our Longwood Symphony concert together to announce the start of a new campaign – a campaign to build a much-needed new facility to meet the health needs of the people of Mattapan. It was a huge success.<br /><br />Since then, I <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp77rBZoxcr8ENqN0WC_Z1upNYr_28Hf0derTcRjli7jaj-CxozrxdT-M7lCrBzIB6tHZWnR0Xns3qRGGLQnMItjNjqiy0QDftqpu71GO0GRZH8Y4bhsfnC-NqZiWpfPYcDUmR7zorlHU/s1600/Dr.+Azzie+Young.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 116px; height: 143px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp77rBZoxcr8ENqN0WC_Z1upNYr_28Hf0derTcRjli7jaj-CxozrxdT-M7lCrBzIB6tHZWnR0Xns3qRGGLQnMItjNjqiy0QDftqpu71GO0GRZH8Y4bhsfnC-NqZiWpfPYcDUmR7zorlHU/s320/Dr.+Azzie+Young.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463942293546968962" border="0" /></a>have watched Mattapan with pride and have attended every Rock the Boat event—I’ve even played violin at some of the VIP receptions—and now I applaud you as your dream of a new facility becomes a reality.<br />I am proud to have played a part in the remarkable work of Mattapan Community Health Center and I am proud to be part of the medical and musical fabric of our Boston Community.<br /><br />I’d like to close with a few words to live by from my pediatric and my musical world. First, I’d like to quote from Robert Fulghum’s “All I Need to Know I learned in Kindergarten”,<br />• Play fair.<br />• Share everything.<br />• Put things back where you found them.<br />• Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.<br />• When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together<br />• Warm cookies and cold milk –and a good gala--are ALL good for you.<br /><br />To these I’d like to paraphrase two thoughts from “All I Need to Know I learned in Orchestra Rehearsal” taken from last week’s rehearsal with conductor Jonathan McPhee.<br /><br />• When there is more than one musical idea going on in the music, if everyone only thinks about his own part and plays it loudly, it won’t sound very good. Listen to each other’s ideas first, then put the music back together. Now you will listen for each other and hear how the parts are in harmony.<br /><br />• When you are looking at a difficult passage, don’t look up to the note and wonder if you will get there—your fear will hold you back; instead, aim beyond that note and you’ll be sure to land on it--squarely, securely --and in tune.<br /><br />Don’t look back, Mattapan Community Health Center – keep on striving, reaching beyond your notes and being in tune with the community.<br /><br />Thank you again for honoring me and the Longwood Symphony Orchestra with the 2010 Community Health Pinnacle Award.Longwood Symphony Orchestrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603125859258549910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321368431117827658.post-61016136876125083202010-04-18T10:26:00.008-04:002010-04-18T11:41:04.342-04:00Nourishing our Communty Through Music<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9jrvhOGZHmkePqV1OTbPGsiy4QeAtGldzzeuiXHZBTOg7vi9q6IH4-EE9NF9dwKVpZAemkplP1UoZWmrHVHPJgRx9Y6q-pSS_-_BkIhPzgR_ZIo2Ec3ofOGh7ll6g9OUjm2Ta7Q5MM0s/s1600/food_drive_sb.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 149px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9jrvhOGZHmkePqV1OTbPGsiy4QeAtGldzzeuiXHZBTOg7vi9q6IH4-EE9NF9dwKVpZAemkplP1UoZWmrHVHPJgRx9Y6q-pSS_-_BkIhPzgR_ZIo2Ec3ofOGh7ll6g9OUjm2Ta7Q5MM0s/s320/food_drive_sb.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461497707564854626" border="0" /></a>

<br />LSO's March 13, 2010 concert was in collaboration with the wonderful organization, The Food Project (<a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.thefoodproject.org"><span style="color:blue;">www.thefoodproject.org</span></a>), which serves the greater Boston community as a community building, youth leadership, and hunger relief organization. During the summers, hundreds of young people participate in tending acres of farms, building raised neighborhood gardens, and making fresh produce accessible to those in the inner city through TFP-staffed Farmers Markets. The concert was attended by 800 people, 325 of which were from The Food Project. Donors who could not attend the performance underwrote tickets so the young people could. At intermission, TFP volunteers shared packets of lettuce seeds with the audience.

<br />In keeping with its mission to bring music to those who might not otherwise hear classical music, LSO musicians spent a day in three hunger relief organizations for homeless: Women's Lunch Place, Pine Street Inn, and Haley House. Each has found unique and inspiring ways to feed our community's hungry while maintaining their dignity and helping them to move forward<span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span>

<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">On March 13, 2010, Longwood Symphony Orchestra and The Food Project will present Nourishing our Community through Music: a concert focusing on Community Nutrition and Hunger Relief to benefit The Food Project
<br />
<br /></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;">Through a competitive application process, LSO chooses four LSO Community Partners each year. Beyond the music, each concert becomes an opportunity for a nonprofit health-related organization to tell its story to the wider community. The weeks leading up to the concert raise community awareness, through outreach and education programs.
<br />
<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;">On a sunny summer day in August 2009, Michael Barnett and Lisa Wong met with Polly Reeve of <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Food Project</span> at its urban farm site in the heart of Dorchester, The 2-acre farm is one of the many sites of The Food Project, LSO's March 2010 Community Partner. Michael, a Yale Music School-trained oboist and now 4th year Harvard medical student, is Chair of LSO's Community Engagement Committee. Polly Reeve is TFP's Director of Development.

<br />
<br />Since 1991</strong><span style="font-family:georgia;">, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Food Project</span> (<a href="www.thefoodproject.org">www.thefoodproject.org</a>) has built a national model of engaging young people in personal and social change through sustainable agriculture. Each year, the program engages hundreds of young people and thousands of volunteers who farm 37 acres in eastern Massachusetts in the towns and cities of Beverly, Boston, Ipswich, Lincoln and Lynn.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Not just an urban farm
<br /></span>What is remarkable about The Food Project is that its interest is not only in growing food, but in growing community spirit and growing young people. </span><span style="font-size:85%;">Through the creative hard work of farming, they learn cooperation and leadership.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">We consider our hallmark to be our focus on identifying and transforming a new generation of leaders by placing teens in unusually responsible roles, with deeply meaningful work.</span></span>

<br /></span>The Food Project has been working in the community for nearly twenty years. Over time this conversation on community hunger relief has become increasingly pressing and relevant.
<br />
<br />Just a few weeks ago, First Lady Michelle Obama unveiled her "Let's Move" initiative, a multi-pronged program that addresses childhood obesity through increased exercise, school nutrition programs, as well as increased accessibility to fresh foods.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">More than 23 million Americans, including 6.5 million children, live in low-income urban and rural neighborhoods that are more than a mile from a supermarket. Lack of access to proper nutrition is one reason why many children are not eating the recommended levels of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">
<br />
<br />Food insecurity and hunger among our children is even more widespread. A recent USDA report showed that in 2008, an estimated 49.1 million people, including 16.7 million children, lived in households that experienced hunger multiple times throughout the year.</span></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">For more information visit the <a href="http://www.letsmove.gov/accessing/index.html">Let's Move website</a></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">
<br />
<br />Reaching out to the community
<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;">There is a seeming incongruence between the lush greenery of The Food Project's Dorchester farm and the stark rowhouses in the surrounding neighborhood. But the Food Project provides an oasis that is symbolic of the vision of the organization itself.
<br />
<br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="general"><span style="font-size:85%;">Through all of our youth programs, people of all ages bridge communities through farming and food and discover their interdependence with each other as well as with those who purchase and receive their produce.</span></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<br />
<br />Fifteen year old Eva of The Food Project writes: <span style="font-style: italic;">My goal is to someday reach out to people from all sorts of communities and backgrounds in a way that helps them become as caring as I am about the topic of society and have them feel inspired to break down barriers between communities. Have them reach out to others. Whether it be with loved ones or to the greater community. The more that people become united, the better the world will be.</span></span></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="general">
<br /></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br />Once the food is harvested, The Food Project shares its crops with the community through Farmer's Markets and with local hunger relief organizations.

Thank you to all of the groups that came together to provide support and relief for Haitians.<br /><br />In Haiti, the work that continues hand to hand, day by day, in the face of such suffering is inspiring. Sometimes I feel that music is the best medium by which to convey both the magnitude of the catastrophe and the love and tenderness shown by countless others as well as the convergence of disparate groups to aid so many. Truly, there are no words that could do as eloquent a job as you all did that evening.<br /><br />I hope our paths cross again soon and please convey our gratitude (on top of Paul's and Suzanne's) to the musicians and all involved in such a beautiful evening.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br />With warm wishes, Ophelia</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSkECMufVhwyddIwCejFrbmdjYb7_pinDqwJg1Xum7nMIGyVj3nmO5d-NT-ItSpRHTQfwJDxl3K_mr1XllfAwnaOxNkFV9V0rLdu9S2igysZLDgaS5vM6eGcZa5mBqbGz0GlzGUZr-crY/s1600-h/Symphonic+Relief+for+Haiti+poster.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSkECMufVhwyddIwCejFrbmdjYb7_pinDqwJg1Xum7nMIGyVj3nmO5d-NT-ItSpRHTQfwJDxl3K_mr1XllfAwnaOxNkFV9V0rLdu9S2igysZLDgaS5vM6eGcZa5mBqbGz0GlzGUZr-crY/s200/Symphonic+Relief+for+Haiti+poster.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436463175977858978" border="0" /></a>Longwood Symphony Orchestrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603125859258549910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321368431117827658.post-59235295148478563942010-01-31T16:57:00.009-05:002010-05-08T16:46:04.907-04:00Images from Symphonic Relief for Haiti concert<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7gQgAIulR5S7ANn2ye-17fGoGKvmIBm4EoszyD5HhJT1T6ngDDWpngpST7vSZAUGpf-U75zgB9YLgC-GmYyeCWv0aXHt9m2B_M0M1Q6yoG7sDD1aEN_mf13cqlg-yemkxptP00XSL1g/s1600/Anthony+Trecek+King.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 89px; height: 128px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7gQgAIulR5S7ANn2ye-17fGoGKvmIBm4EoszyD5HhJT1T6ngDDWpngpST7vSZAUGpf-U75zgB9YLgC-GmYyeCWv0aXHt9m2B_M0M1Q6yoG7sDD1aEN_mf13cqlg-yemkxptP00XSL1g/s320/Anthony+Trecek+King.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468999392633330450" border="0" /></a>

<br />Today Longwood Symphony Orchestra and New England Conservatory joined together for "Symphonic Relief for Haiti," a concert that brought out the best in all of us, to raise funds for Partners In Health and the people of Haiti. Thanks to all the hard-working people at New England Conservatory and The Rendon Group.

<br />On Friday, Haitian-born Jean Bernard Cerin, who opened the concert with a moving rendition of "Grief," shared with us how important this concert was to him. It was an opportunity, he said, to <span style="font-style: italic;">do something</span> for his people in Haiti. In the audience today was his mother. She had just flown in from Haiti to hear her son's performance. After the concert, Mrs. Cerin described the day of the earthquake. She said she was just entering a supermarket when the ground began to shake and the market itself began to undulate. She spoke of a hand of an angel, the woman next to her, who grabbed her arm and made her run back outside. A minute later, the market was flattened. When they could see again ("I was blinded") as the dust settled, her thoughts went to her daughters, who were at home. She returned home to find that half the house had collapsed during the quake. Miraculously, the family was in the <span style="font-style: italic;">other</span> half of the house. All had survived. It was for these who survived and those that were lost that Jean Bernard sang...about weeping angels and the promise of a white dove.
<br />

<br />This morning, just as I was leaving for the concert, the phone rang<span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> It was Jonathan McPhee at the airport in Toronto, where delays and security snafus had caused him to miss the flight that would have brought him to the concert hall in time for the performance (The Boston Ballet had just performed in Ottawa's NAC the night before). Could we ask Larry Isaacson, the cover conductor for the day, to step in for this concert?
<br />
<br />Larry was terrific, and ran a superb rehearsal, but after all that we had put into creating, organizing and producing this concert, not to mention Albert Schweitzer Portrait itself, it would still not be quite the same without Jonathan.
<br />
<br />But Jonathan himself had just met an angel named Naresh in the Toronto airport's baggage claim. Having heard the story of our remarkable concert, and how important it was for our Maestro to be there, Naresh made phone calls, smoothed paperwork and facilitated arrangements so that Jonathan was suddenly on the next plane to Boston. Thirty minutes before LSO was to walk onstage, Jonathan McPhee touched down at Logan Airport and led the Albert Schweitzer Portrait after all.
<br />
<br />Once again, the words of Albert Schweitzer resonate:

Wong, M.D.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">My life is my argument. </span>--<span style="font-style: italic;">Dr. Albert Schweitzer</span><br /><br />In October 1991, I participated in a remarkable two-day symposium organized by the Albert Schweitzer Fellowship. The occasion was the launch of the Schweitzer U.S. Fellows Program. The topic was to consider the community health challenges that Dr. Schweitzer might have faced were he a healthcare provider in Boston in the 1990s.<br /><br />A remarkable group of leaders was convened, joined by medical students, staff and patients . We focused on the topics of AIDS, Domestic Violence, Children's Health Disparities, and Homelessness. The two-day conference, which overspread every available meeting space in the city of Boston, culminated in a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Reverence for Life</span> concert performed by Longwood Symphony Orchestra, violinists Dr. Stephen Frucht and Lynn Chang, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.<br /><br />The symposium was conceived and facilitated by Judge Mark Wolf and Dr. Lachlan Forrow with the youthful enthusiasm and energy of Schweitzer fellows, including two remarkable medical students, Philip Pulaski and Alison May.<br /><br />LSO's Healing Art of Music program, the centerpiece of its programs, was created in response to the Reverence for Life concert. We looked out at the sold-out concert hall and could not help noticing the empty seats - empty for a reason -victims of domestic violence could not appear in such a public space, and homeless could not make the 10:00 curfew if they attended an 8:00 performance. The music and this realization had a significant impact on the audience and an equally profound impact on the musicians themselves. It was after that concert that LSO decided that each performance should support and raise awareness for a medical charity.<br /><br />It was also at this remarkable, life-changing event that I met Dr. Jim O'Connell, founder and President of Boston's Healthcare for the Homeless Program and practicing street physician. Our friendship has continued since that time, as has my deep admiration for his commitment and humanity.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggkxzUrWV60w8o8EmBsY7EJD6oD-7JdaVEd_q0Pzn-4GRLc-vSMc6J12u0cQgXQz_9QPLTQZwdrpbA6cfnT5KOfK1GrJsbm8M_YdnbXFfv_uoxOd1_obcZSW5tWHp5Jo_sFciXQemIc3c/s1600-h/IMG_0591.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggkxzUrWV60w8o8EmBsY7EJD6oD-7JdaVEd_q0Pzn-4GRLc-vSMc6J12u0cQgXQz_9QPLTQZwdrpbA6cfnT5KOfK1GrJsbm8M_YdnbXFfv_uoxOd1_obcZSW5tWHp5Jo_sFciXQemIc3c/s200/IMG_0591.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428282507730040402" border="0" /></a><br />In 2003, Longwood Symphony Orchestra collaborated with BHCHP to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of Barbara McInnis House. This was one of the first major fundraising initiatives BHCHP had ever endeavored, and it was extremely successful, engaging new corporate donors and empowering their Board members. We worked together again the following year, raising community awareness and significant funds.<br /><br />Over the years, we have developed a relationship with McInnis House, meeting with Dr. Robert Taube, Executive Director, and sharing music with the residents. One of our violinists, Jennifer Chang, has even spent time on the wards here as a medical student. Since 2003, LSO has continued to play annual chamber music performances for McInnis House patients.<br /><br />In 2005 BHCHP launched a major fundraising capital campaign for the building of a new facility. The new Jean Yawkey Place was dedicated in May 2008, and members of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra were there to play at the opening.<br /><br />Just last week, on January 11, I met Jim O'Connell and Cheryl Kane for my own long-awaited tour of the new facility. What I saw and learned is an inspiration.<br /><br />Here is the model of a medical home, not just for Boston's homeless, but for the wider community. It is a medical home in which a patient is known and respected. He walks through the door and his doctor greets him by name. "Hey, Joe. How's the leg doing now?" A nurse guides a patient down the stairs to the pharmacy that is conveniently located adjacent to the clinic. Patients are admitted directly upstairs to McInnis House or across the street to Boston Medical Center. There is dental care, social services, and psychiatry, all housed within the same facility. These are not "easy" patients, but they are treated with dignity, respect and professionalism.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJDWpEj1xNWOkO4yl1l1N3ITme167xbaguVterFsQ2OlXrKoIJDmLf6tp6Ii68qASa7UimFQqlr5DwL98NF80tIrFCWAXmNGrlkRdBoUPcp4VFS6XRdU0SXJc0aD8K09SbrUZ6irw-TA/s1600-h/BHCHP+Jean+Yawkey+Place.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJDWpEj1xNWOkO4yl1l1N3ITme167xbaguVterFsQ2OlXrKoIJDmLf6tp6Ii68qASa7UimFQqlr5DwL98NF80tIrFCWAXmNGrlkRdBoUPcp4VFS6XRdU0SXJc0aD8K09SbrUZ6irw-TA/s200/BHCHP+Jean+Yawkey+Place.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428272880873387154" border="0" /></a>Our visit upstairs to tour the new Barbara McInnis House includes meeting with the caring people in the Admissions Department, the dedicated chef who gave up a successful restaurant career to serve, and the newly admitted patient who shares his thoughts about his challenging social situation.<br /><br />This is how medicine needs to be practiced, not just here in a hospital for homeless individuals but across the country. But there is one more surprise in store.<br /><br />Back at the medical clinic. Jim introduces me to two of his dedicated medical colleagues. It takes me a moment to recognize them.<br /><br />I am surprised but then not at all surprised to find Drs. Philip Pulaski and Dr. Alison May here in the clinic, having dedicated their lives to working with the homeless. They are the same two Schweitzer fellows I met at the Reverenc For Life symposium in 1991, nearly twenty years ago!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The result of the voyage does not depend on the speed of the ship, but on whether or not it keeps a true course.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">--Dr. Albert Schweitzer</span>Longwood Symphony Orchestrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603125859258549910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321368431117827658.post-36278358672659838132009-12-08T00:10:00.007-05:002009-12-08T01:25:58.363-05:00Celebrating a Life: Dr. Susan Spencer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZwMWR6wQH8iztEhyx_DQRpbpzgAxIRKlwIdV1v5RXpB8jpdZHXFAppBUyxZpwQRm7dCivxTdjPeJMjiDJTYwLNWB5MDYW9W3H49H0esARipXoaB6fYfCbAGJMpz-IEQOar3P6ByMYTnU/s1600-h/Spencer+-Susan+5-2009.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZwMWR6wQH8iztEhyx_DQRpbpzgAxIRKlwIdV1v5RXpB8jpdZHXFAppBUyxZpwQRm7dCivxTdjPeJMjiDJTYwLNWB5MDYW9W3H49H0esARipXoaB6fYfCbAGJMpz-IEQOar3P6ByMYTnU/s200/Spencer+-Susan+5-2009.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412728453029905266" border="0" /></a>On Saturday evening, December 5, 2009, Longwood Symphony performed its first concert of the season in NEC's Jordan Hall.<br /><br />Our Community Partner was the American Epilepsy Society, which collaborated with the LSO with the specific goal of raising funds to launch a new fund, the Susan Spencer Clinical Epilepsy Research Fund, in memory of Dr. Susan Spencer. Dr. Spencer's stellar accomplishments included Chair of the Yale Medical School's Neurology Department, with a specialty in epilepsy and past-President of the AES. She was married to Dr. Dennis Spencer, Chair of Neurosurgery at Yale Medical School, and was the mother of twin daughters, Dr. Andrea Spencer and Dr. Joanne Spencer.<br /><br />Dr. Susan Spencer was an oboist and harpist, deftly balancing her music and medicine. Her daughters followed suit: Joanne is a flutist and Andrea is a violist. Both were music majors at Yale; both then went to medical school at Columbia and Harvard, respectively.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"The apple does not fall far from the tree"</span><br /><br />Like her mother, Andrea Spencer is a master at juggling man<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh94zgajUVciU3XALwgQQq1i-oCy75MuQ6YhnRSkK3YqA1IDS5uuOVx6fQ4zVy9ah4DOwg4p6tV0R6AZpZ5CnNFYQCwwdFJpxoCc_dzPYksoulSDyrP-6wF1yh5bqfgKaoRiwPzfFvUdOw/s1600-h/1484.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh94zgajUVciU3XALwgQQq1i-oCy75MuQ6YhnRSkK3YqA1IDS5uuOVx6fQ4zVy9ah4DOwg4p6tV0R6AZpZ5CnNFYQCwwdFJpxoCc_dzPYksoulSDyrP-6wF1yh5bqfgKaoRiwPzfFvUdOw/s200/1484.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412735710710546834" border="0" /></a>y balls at once.<br />Andrea joined the LSO in 2003 as a 1st year medical student at Harvard Medical School. She devoted her summers to working with traumatized children in Honduras and elsewhere, sharing her medicine and music wherever she went. With the LSO, she helped organize a symposium on International Women's Day that showcased the work of ten remarkable young medical professionals. Last year, she organized an even more ambitious symposium exploring the intersection of medicine and music, "Crossing the Corpus Callosum" [see blog entry January 2009], that included her own distinguished father as a speaker. Even through the notoriously busy years as a 3rd year student and as an intern (when we expect to see little of our LSO musicians), Andrea found a way to perform in most of the season's concerts. The Spencer family, Dennis, Susan and Joanne were often there in the audience.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA9uwx9Xfirvovj_YrPP9e_0cOtFlLDEbNTpmPlgkmHLMsga5OV5S6ikd34eC-NJZK8kpSQgLURFYJdqQHGk1s2lYI7KwqSlAIeiiEhbFs6BVeu5BkYNWjrevzN-IkOSprsosijojp2ws/s1600-h/IMG_3341.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA9uwx9Xfirvovj_YrPP9e_0cOtFlLDEbNTpmPlgkmHLMsga5OV5S6ikd34eC-NJZK8kpSQgLURFYJdqQHGk1s2lYI7KwqSlAIeiiEhbFs6BVeu5BkYNWjrevzN-IkOSprsosijojp2ws/s200/IMG_3341.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412738173227476562" border="0" /></a>In October we launched the year with <span style="font-style: italic;">LSO on Call,</span> bringing music to patients across the city who can no longer attend concert performances. Andrea's group performed at Sarah Care in Dorchester, a senior day center for Vietnamese refugees who have settled in Boston. Their choice of Dvorak's "American" String Quartet had a special poignancy for these new Americans.<br /><br />As a member of the Board, Andrea Spencer was working closely with other colleagues to refine our "Healing Art of Music" program that selects and then works with medical nonprofits to raise awareness and funds around our concert performances.<br /><br />How difficult yet how profoundly fitting it was that, after the sudden loss of Dr. Susan Spencer in late spring, the Spencer family requested that our first concert be dedicated to establishing a new fund in Susan's name to further research on epilepsy. Thus the American Epilepsy Society was named an LSO Community Partner. We were proud and moved to make a contribution in this way.<br /><br />The concert drew nearly 900 people, including 325 neurologists from across the country. Many others sent donations to the Susan Spencer Clinical Epilepsy Research Fund.<br /><br />The music (chosen over a year ago) was also profoundly fitting - the New England Premiere of Giya Kancheli's "STYX", a work for mixed chorus, large orchestra and a viola soloist. Written in memory of some of his dearest friends, Kancheli has created a work depicting Charon, the boatman who ferried souls between the land of the living and the dead, across the river Styx.<br /><br />There is a clear parallel between Charon's role and that of our own as physicians and musicians, We are privileged and challenged to serve as healers and comforters as we walk with our patients and audiences to the shores between life and death.Longwood Symphony

I will be playing a variety of works with long time friends and a new friend (flutist Tobi-Ann Kocher; my wife, Jan Walker, a researcher in the Section of General Internal Medicine at BIDMC on piano; along with new friend Amy Seibel, a bassoonist). Preparing for this performance has allowed me to play great music (much of it I have never played before), while allowing us the opportunity to share our music with others who might not otherwise have the opportunity to go to a concert. As a physician I interact with sick people every day, but sharing the healing properties of music allows me to communicate and heal using techniques quite different from the ones I use in my "day job".

on Call: Health and Harmony in the City, Part 1On Thursday September 17, 50 Longwood Symphony musicians gathered at Boston Latin School. Rather than sitting in their familiar spots in the BLS Band room --cellos to the left, violins to the right, winds on the <span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:78%;"> </span></span> risers--they divided into 14 unfamiliar groupings. Three oboes gathered in one room, and octet of winds and strings in another, two horns and string quartet in yet another. In four short weeks, these new groups will be much more familiar with each other, both musically and personally.<br />- - - <span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Fluti</span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLkhDzBr8XsbshQ1NrXgHhGZOy82e9atU_SpLl0SG6zJovHCfVqUW7fh_P1ZhWS9xQN3E80Ms2QjjanWLb7X7T7uHA0WfGJwO7JtmKWyT21mUxBNnBWARqTfbfsm4GQIcLRt-6mY9KJVs/s1600-h/IMG_2436.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLkhDzBr8XsbshQ1NrXgHhGZOy82e9atU_SpLl0SG6zJovHCfVqUW7fh_P1ZhWS9xQN3E80Ms2QjjanWLb7X7T7uHA0WfGJwO7JtmKWyT21mUxBNnBWARqTfbfsm4GQIcLRt-6mY9KJVs/s200/IMG_2436.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383616744953885826" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:78%;">st Dany Krause "at play" after performing at Shriners Hospital last spring</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /> </span></span> <br />Armed with that training, on October 17, they will travel together to health care settings across the Commonwealth.<br /> <br /> This is an opportunity for new, shared experiences.<br /> ~It is an opportunity for musicians to get to know their patients better<br /> ~It is an opportunity for musicians to get to know each other better<br /> ~It is an opportunity for musicians to get to know themselves better<br /> ~It is an opportunity to consider what difference the experience will make on them as caregivers.<br /><br />In an effort to measure these changes, LSO has created questionnaires for the musicians, the staff, and the patients.

I loved playing my violin for patients. It is one of the reasons I've applied to medical school."<br /><br />Another shared: "While I have not played in a formal health care setting, I remember performing Bach for my grandmother as she was dying. It was a very moving experience for me."<br /><br />Many recalled that it had not been since high school that they had the opportunity to play for patients and to play in chamber music groups.<br /><br />Next step: Matching these 14 groups with patients and health care settings, and matching the repertoire to the audience.<br /><br />This is a journey. It may not be taking us as far away geographically as our London tour (see June 2008 blogs), but it will challenge our internal compasses nonetheless.Longwood Symphony Orchestrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603125859258549910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321368431117827658.post-33929076234199633232009-09-09T23:18:00.008-04:002009-09-09T23:58:00.989-04:00Announcing our 2009-10 season
