SUMMARY:Osher Youth Ensembles Concert
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Osher Youth Ensembles\, Portland’s outstanding regional youth music program performs twice a year at Merrill Auditorium. \nPortland Youth Wind Ensemble directed by Dr. Will Kinne\nPortland Young People’s String Consort directed by Linda Vaillancourt\nPortland Youth Junior Orchestra directed by Nathan Plourde\nPortland Youth Symphony Orchestra directed by Dr. Robert Lehmann \nOn March 22\, 1942\, the first rehearsal of the 65-member Student Philharmonic Orchestra\, was held at the Chestnut Street Church. That orchestra was created\, and conducted for 32 years\, by Clinton W. Graffam Jr.\, a Portland Symphony Orchestra oboist\, and whose father was one of the Portland Symphony Orchestra’s founders. The first concert by the Student Philharmonic was given on the following May 19 at Portland City Hall Auditorium before an audience of 1\,200. The concert was sponsored as a benefit for the War Service Department by the Maine Federation of Music Clubs. In place of an admission fee\, concert-goers donated sheet music and phonograph records\, which were to be distributed to members of the Armed Forces throughout Maine. \nThe orchestra eventually became known as the Junior Symphony\, then the Portland Symphony Youth Orchestra—a part of the PSO’s educational and community outreach. In 1979-80 two more youth groups were added to the program\, The Portland Youth Wind Ensemble and Portland Young People’s String Consort. In 1996-97 all three youth ensembles came under the administration of the School of Music of the University of Southern Maine (then called the Music Department). \nThe Osher School of Music is proud to carry on the tradition of offering high-quality performance opportunities for middle and high school students from around the region and is grateful to the parents\, schools\, and educators who help to make these opportunities possible.

SUMMARY:Microcosmos
DESCRIPTION:  \nA microcosm is a smaller system that reflects the characteristics of a much larger system\, essentially a “little world” or a miniature version of a larger genre. Three chamber works\, one idea: music that contains more than it appears to. Mozart’s Oboe Quartet is intimate on paper—four players—and enormous in practice. Beethoven’s Septet borrows the sweep of a full symphony and fits it into seven instruments. In between\, a quintet by Ruth Gipps\, a British composer you may not know yet\, but probably should. \nProgram\nMozart | Oboe Quartet in F Major\, K. 370\nGipps | Quintet\, Op. 16\, for oboe\, clarinet\, violin\, viola and cello\nBeethoven | Septet in E-flat Major\, Op. 20 \nPerformers\nRobert Lehmann\, violín\nKimberly Lehmann\, viola\nWilliam Rounds\, cello\nJered Egan\, bass\nAlessandro Ciraficci\, oboe\nThomas Parchman\, clarinet\nWren Saunders\, bassoon\nVirginia Morales\, horn \n\n\nTickets go on-sale September 4th\, and are available through PortTIX\, the official box office for the Osher School of Music. \n\nPHONE 207-842-0800ONLINE www.porttix.comIN-PERSON 400 Congress St Suite A\, Portland\, ME 04101\n\nEvent Details\nParking\nDue to limited resources\, parking is not free on our Portland and Gorham campuses.

SUMMARY:Osher Youth Ensembles Concert
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Osher Youth Ensembles\, Portland’s outstanding regional youth music program performs twice a year at Merrill Auditorium. \nPortland Youth Wind Ensemble directed by Dr. Will Kinne\nPortland Young People’s String Consort directed by Linda Vaillancourt\nPortland Youth Junior Orchestra directed by Nathan Plourde\nPortland Youth Symphony Orchestra directed by Dr. Robert Lehmann \nOn March 22\, 1942\, the first rehearsal of the 65-member Student Philharmonic Orchestra\, was held at the Chestnut Street Church. That orchestra was created\, and conducted for 32 years\, by Clinton W. Graffam Jr.\, a Portland Symphony Orchestra oboist\, and whose father was one of the Portland Symphony Orchestra’s founders. The first concert by the Student Philharmonic was given on the following May 19 at Portland City Hall Auditorium before an audience of 1\,200. The concert was sponsored as a benefit for the War Service Department by the Maine Federation of Music Clubs. In place of an admission fee\, concert-goers donated sheet music and phonograph records\, which were to be distributed to members of the Armed Forces throughout Maine. \nThe orchestra eventually became known as the Junior Symphony\, then the Portland Symphony Youth Orchestra—a part of the PSO’s educational and community outreach. In 1979-80 two more youth groups were added to the program\, The Portland Youth Wind Ensemble and Portland Young People’s String Consort. In 1996-97 all three youth ensembles came under the administration of the School of Music of the University of Southern Maine (then called the Music Department). \nThe Osher School of Music is proud to carry on the tradition of offering high-quality performance opportunities for middle and high school students from around the region and is grateful to the parents\, schools\, and educators who help to make these opportunities possible.
