American Federation of Musicians: New President

Steve Young, vice-president of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) and president of the Boston Musicians' Association, Local 9-535, was elected president of the AFM in a hotly contested race that was the centerpiece of the 91st national convention of the AFM, which was held in Las Vegas from June 19-21, 1995.

Young, a bassoonist, defeated Sam Folio, a member of the AFM's five-person Executive Committee and trustee of several AFM locals, by a vote of 589 to 408. The campaign between the two officers for the seat of retiring AFM president Mark Tully Massagli lasted for several months and featured many of the accouterments of modern political campaigning. Young becomes the first musician with a symphonic background to be elected president of the AFM.

In the race for vice-president, Tom Lee, a member of the Executive Committee and Secretary of the District of Columbia Federation of Musicians, Local 161-710, defeated Richard Q. Totusek of the Los Angeles Musicians' Union, Local 47.

Steven R. Sprague won reelection as AFM Secretary-Treasurer against nominal opposition, while Ray Petch, the incumbent Vice-President for Canada, defeated Bobby Herriot, long-time president of the Toronto local.

The three remaining incumbent members of the Executive Committee, Tom Bailey, Ken Shirk, and Tim Shea, were all reelected. Elected to fill two vacancies created by the departure of Folio and Lee were Bill Moriarity, president of the Associated Musicians of Greater New York, Local 802, the largest local in the AFM, and Ray Hair, president of the Dallas-Ft. Worth. Professional Musicians' Association, Local 72-147.

The delegates to the convention also passed raises for the four officers and five members of the Executive Committee. The day after voting for the officers' raises, the delegates voted to reverse their vote to freeze their own convention per diem and voted to raise it from $30 to $50, which had been the figure prior to the financial cuts that the AFM made in its budget four years ago.

Boston Symphony: New Assistant Conductor

Seiji Ozawa, music director of the Boston Symphony, announced on June 21 that Richard Westerfield has been appointed the orchestras's assistant conductor.

Westerfield, who was recently appointed music director of the Harrisburg Symphony, succeeds Thomas Dausgaard and David Wroe. He will assume his new position with the BSO in September, although he will conduct the orchestra at Tanglewood this summer.

Westerfield attended Yale University and the Tanglewood Music Center and spent two years as a Fulbright Fellow in Romania. His first conducting position was with the Brown University orchestra.

His most recent position has been as a cover conductor for the New York Philharmonic, where he conducted a set of concerts in 1993 for Erich Leinsdorf after Leinsdorf became ill. While in New York, Westerfield also worked as a financial analyst on Wall Street.

In addition to the BSO and the New York Philharmonic, Westerfield has conducted the Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Jacksonville symphonies, as well in orchestras in Japan, New Zealand, and Eastern Europe.

Buffalo Philharmonic: Management Cancels Summer

The management of the Buffalo Philharmonic announced on June 23 that it would cancel most of the orchestra's summer season and would explore a merger of the orchestra's administration with the University of Buffalo Performing Arts Center or Shea's Performing Arts Center in an effort to lower costs.

Management canceled 25 of 28 concerts scheduled between July 3 and August 31. The only concerts not affected were a Fourth of July concert, a performance on July 3 at the downtown baseball park presented by the Buffalo Bisons, the local minor-league team, and a benefit concert on August 31 with humorist Mark Russell.

Executive Director John Bauser cited cash-flow problems, caused by reduced county funding and a drop-off in subscription sales for next season, and failure to reach agreement with the orchestra's musicians on a furlough plan as the reasons for the cancellation, the second such cancellation in two years.

Mark Jones, president of the Buffalo Musicians' Association, Local 92 AFM, which represents the 76 orchestra members, denies that there was a failure to reach an agreement with management on the furlough issue. "I have in my possession a signed agreement between the union and John Bauser dated June 9 - just two weeks ago - agreeing to the furlough plan," Jones told ~DOS Orchestra~. "How can you sign an agreement, if these (funding) problems do exist, and then 11 days later, say, we don't have an agreement?" asked Jones. "It's mind-boggling."

In an interview with the Buffalo ~News~, Jones placed the blame for the current situation on Bauser and expressed dismay about the abrupt nature of management's announcement. "No one was told about this. Not the Union, not ArtPark. When I picked up the message on my answering machine, I thought somebody was pulling my leg."

Although recent cuts in state funding for the orchestra have been partially restored, BPO board president William L.McHugh said that the net loss of $173,000 was too big a burden for the orchestra to overcome. "Under these circumstances, it is not responsible to go forward, losing money on each event," he told the Buffalo ~News~.

Bauser told the paper that everything we're doing now is designed to preserve [the winter season]." Canceling the summer concerts "is a disappointment for me, the musicians, and the board."

The musicians and management reached an agreement last June, after the orchestra suspended operations on May 9, that provided for a pay cut of 5%, a cut in health benefits and changes in work rules. As part of the agreement, the musicians got 6 seats on the 12-member Executive Board.

In November 1993, following a one-month shutdown, the Buffalo Philharmonic musicians agreed to concessions for the 1993-94 season, which was the final year of a three-year agreement. The major concession was a reduction in their season from 46 weeks to 37, with a concomitant loss of income by the musicians.

Bauser, who is leaving the orchestra on October 1, told the musicians in February that he was withdrawing his name for consideration for a similar position with the Florida Philharmonic. He said that "The possibility of working with the Florida Philharmonic would have meant a significant professional advancement, [but] we have decided to stay in Buffalo so we can continue the good work we began a year ago, when I first joined the BPO."

Classical Music Month: Plans Proceed

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE FEATURES)--June 22, 1995--

Classical Music Month, heading into its second year, is experiencing an exciting groundswell of support as music and cultural groups in cities and communities across America make preparations to celebrate the event this September.

Classical Music Month was created through a Congressional resolution, signed by President Clinton, to increase the awareness and standing of classical music in American life.

Classical Music Month's early calendar is quickly taking shape to boost classical music: In St. Louis, the St. Louis Symphony presents "A Taste of the Symphony" at the Powell Symphony Hall on Sept. 9 with live performances and culinary specialties provided by some of the city's finest restaurants. On Sept. 30, the St. Louis Symphony, the Youth Symphony, the St. Louis Philharmonic, the Opera Theater of St. Louis and other music groups from surrounding communities will perform during "Zoobilation," a mega-cultural event at the St. Louis Zoo. The highlight of the day's events will bring all musicians together for a mass performance of Britten's "A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra."

San Diego's local Classical Music Month Coalition is pulling together 16 participating classical music organizations for a wide range of classical events, taking the classics out of the symphony hall. Kick-off is Sept. 1-3 with a San Diego Pops concert featuring Misha Dichter playing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 at the Embarcadero Marina.

In Boston, Classical Boston Radio, WCRB, is bringing together classical ensembles for a series of free midday outdoor classical concerts at historic Copley Square Park, situated in the city's Back Bay area, on Sept. 7, 14, 21 and 28.

Listen to some Beethoven. Make a musical instrument. Buy a compact disc. Bring the kids. And eat an ice cream cone. Most of all, support classical music. That's the message the Cleveland Music School Settlement and other music ensembles will push with "ClassicalFest," a Sept. 10 outdoor festival at the Settlement in Cleveland.

In Kansas City, the State Ballet of Missouri presents "Balletomania '95" in the expansive natural outdoor floral setting of Powell Gardens on Sept. 3.

In Minneapolis, Eiji Oue's first public performance as music director for the Minnesota Orchestra is Saturday, Sept. 9, when he and the Orchestra kick off a week-long series of free community outdoor concerts. The event, amid family picnics and frisbee games on Navy Island at the St. Paul Riverfront, features great classical favorites and a finale of festive fireworks. On Sunday the 10th, Eiji Oue and the Minnesota Orchestra perform The National Anthem for the Minnesota Vikings' first home game of the season against the Detroit Lions. The Minnesota Orchestra and Eiji Oue take their instruments downtown to the IDS Crystal Court in Minneapolis for a festive noontime concert.

In Memphis, Grammy Award-nominated violinist Gil Shaham and his sister, Orli Shaham, teach classics to public school 5th and 6th graders on Sept. 29 about why Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" appeals to so many people.

The Woodwind Quintet, featuring Phoenix Symphony musicians, takes classics into the community for the opening ceremonies of the Cesar Chavez School in South Phoenix on Sept. 16. Later in the month, Sept. 28-30, the Phoenix Symphony, Ballet Arizona, the Phoenix Bach Choir and the Phoenix Boys' Choir join forces for Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana," to mark the centenary of Orff's birth.

Classical Music Month is supported by the Classical Month Coalition, which consists of performance organizations such as the American Symphony Orchestra League and Opera America, both commercial classical and public radio broadcasters, the classical music recording industry, music retailers and music educators.

Throughout the month of September, the free classical music events and celebrations, classical radio educational programs and retail promotions will demonstrate the accessibility, importance and enjoyment of classical music in American life.

Frankfurt Radio Symphony: New Music Director

Hugh Wolff, music director of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and principal conductor of the Grant Park (Chicago) Music Festival, will become the music director of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra beginning in September 1997. Wolff, who will succeed chief conductors Dmitri Kitaenko, signed a three-year contract requiring him to conduct up to 10 weeks each season.

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony was founded in 1929. It has recorded and toured extensively, receiving international recognition for the many recordings made with former chief conductor Eliahu Inbal during the 1970's and 1980's.

Harrisburg Symphony: New Music Director

The Harrisburg (PA) Symphony has appointed Richard Westerfield as its new music director and conductor, orchestra officials announced on April 24.

Westerfield, 37, has been acting as cover conductor for the New York Philharmonic and was recently named assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony. He prevailed over a field of candidates that included Leif Bjaland, Apo Hsu, George Hanson, Peter Leonard and Richard Fletcher.

Westerfield will replace Larry Newland, whose resignation was effective at the end of the 1993-94 season.

Westerfield has announced that he will move to the Harrisburg area with his wife and two children. "You're stuck with me," he told a press conference. "I'm very happy to be here."

Los Angeles Philharmonic:Third Consecutive ASCAP Award

The Los Angeles Philharmonic has won its third straight First Place Award for Programming of Contemporary Music. The award, bestowed by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), was presented by composer and ASCAP president Morton Gould on June 15 at the American Symphony Orchestra League's annual conference in Portland, Oregon.

The Minnesota Orchestra received the second place award.

Memphis Symphony: Surplus and Bonus

from the Regional Orchestra Players' Association:

The Memphis Orchestral Society has announced a budget surplus for the 1994-95 season of approximately $150,000. During the past year the society has retired over $600,000 of accumulated debt, has generated greater earned income than was anticipated, and had a one-time challenge grant from the Clarence Day Foundation. As a result of these successes, the society will disperse the extra monies to three areas.

Approximately $77,000 will be put in an emergency fund, a little over $44,000 will be carried forward to cover an anticipated budget deficit next year and the rest will be distributed as a two percent bonus to the artistic staff. The bonus is based on each musician's gross earnings for the season and will be paid in July.

Minnesota Orchestra: New General Manager

from the management of the Minnesota Orchestra, June 20:

David J. Hyslop, president of the Minnesota Orchestral Association (MOA), announced today the appointment of Robert R. Neu as vice president and general manager. Currently the orchestra manager of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Neu (pronounced "new") will begin his duties in the Twin Cities effective August 7, 1995. He succeeds Steven Ovitsky who was recently named executive director of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.

"Robert brings a wide degree of experience including two international tours, recording projects and a fine background as a trained musician," Hyslop said. "We are pleased to welcome him to our organization."

Neu joined the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO) in March 1990, where as orchestra manager he was responsible for the production of all concerts, touring, orchestra scheduling and communication with the orchestra musicians' leadership committee. During the CSO's recent centennial season, New served as producer of a commemorative compact disk collection, which gives an overview of the orchestra's recording activities from 1917 to the present.

Also in collaboration with the CSO, Neu staged concert productions of Mozart's "The Magic Flute" and Ibsen's "Peer Gynt," and produced surtitles for other concert opera presentations.

A native of Omaha, Neu received a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Kansas and a Master of Music degree from The Julliard School. Formerly active as a professional clarinetist and piano accompanist, he has performed as a substitute musician with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, New York Philharmonic and New York City Ballet Orchestra. For two years he was vocal coach/accompanist for the Julliard Drama Division.

Neu was assistant concert manager of Julliard for five seasons before becoming manager and vice president of the Lake Forest (IL) Symphony. Prior to his position in Cincinnati, he was general manager of the Akron (OH) Symphony Orchestra. He has also served as a grants panelist for the Ohio Arts Council and is a former president of the Organization of Ohio Orchestras. He is a frequent consultant for Telarc Recordings in the area of vocal repertory.

Neu is married to Vera Mariner, director of marketing and development of the Cincinnati May Festival and a freelance soprano in the Greater Cincinnati area.

National Endowment: FY96 Appropriations Cut by House Committee

from the American Library Association, June 21:

On June 20, the House Appropriations subcommittee on Interior approved the FY96 Interior Appropriations bill which provides funds for the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum Services. Reflecting the House Budget resolution and the House Opportunities Committee's phase out of NEA/NEH, Chairman Ralph Regula (R-OH) recommended $99.7 million for the National Endowment for the Humanities, a 42 percent cut below the FY95 level, $99.7 million for the National Endowment for the Arts, a 39 percent cut. The Institute of Museum Services was recommended for a 27 percent cut.

Rep. Sidney Yates (D-IL), former chairman of the subcommittee, offered an amendment to increase the NEH levels, bringing NEA to parity with NEH, and increasing the Institute of Museum Services, but the amendment was defeated.

An amendment was offered by Jim Bunn (R-OR) and accepted that would increase NEH to $150 million.

Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) offered an amendment to transfer 80 percent of NEH funds to the states. His amendment was defeated on the basis that it was an authorizing amendment, not an appropriations action. However, Rep. Kolbe plans to offer the amendment on June 22, when the bill is considered by the full Appropriations Committee. The effect of such a drastic shift would be to shortchange NEH public programming in libraries, preservation projects, challenge grants, and other national programs.

Omaha Symphony: New Executive Director

from the management of the Omaha Symphony, June 18:

Jan Falk, President of the Omaha Symphony Association, announced today that Gary L. Good has accepted the position of Omaha Symphony Executive Director. Good will assume his duties in early July as Roland Valliere vacates the position to assume his new post as Executive Director of the Kansas City Symphony.

"We are very fortunate to have found someone of Gary's caliber and reputation to assume the leadership of the Omaha Symphony. The board was so impressed with him as a consultant that he immediately came to mind when the position became available. To find a seasoned professional with his knowledge, experience, and proven successes bodes well for the symphony and the entire community," commented Falk.

As Falk mentioned, Good is no stranger to the Omaha Symphony. In 1993 he worked with the board, staff, and musicians while conducting a feasibility study to explore possible collaborations between the Omaha Symphony Association and the Lincoln Orchestra Association. This project was one of many he's undertaken for not-for-profit organizations focusing on institutional planning, fundraising, and management strategies for organizations in transition.

Prior to devoting full-time to his consulting efforts, Mr. Good was the Executive Director of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. During his five-year tenure (1988-1992), he doubled annual giving to $6 million and raised $17 million in the first phase of a major capital campaign. He designed a nationally recognized arts education program which attracted major national funding support. The orchestra's national and international reputation grew significantly through a variety of initiatives: a first-ever tour of Japan, the release of twelve compact discs over a three-year period, a national television project for the PBS Network, and the development of a 350+ station national radio network for MSO radio broadcasts.

From 1982 to 1988, Mr. Good was the Executive Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic. There he guided the financial turn-around of an institution with a long history of financial and organizational instability. He helped the orchestra eliminate a $1.4 million accumulated deficit and rebuilt the orchestra's future around a strong new music director. Earned income more than doubled during his tenure and new relationships were forged with local universities and community organizations. Prior to his time in Buffalo, he was the general manager of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and before that he was the production manager of the Boston Pops.

Good graduated from the Eastman School of Music and received his Master of Music degree from the University of Hartford. He currently serves on two national committees of the American Symphony Orchestra League: the National Conductor Task Force, and the National Education Task Force. He is also a member of the NEA's Orchestra Panel.

Opera de Lyon: Chorus Strikes to Gain Orchestra Perks

The chorus of the Opera de Lyon struck a day of rehearsals during the company's recent appearance in San Francisco over the issues of lodging and per diem.

The chorus members, in a letter to music director Kent Nagano, complained about the Ramada Hotel in which they were staying, saying that it was in a "dangerous area" and the hotel was of an "inferior category." The orchestra and soloists were housed at a more upscale hotel, the Marriot. In the letter, the chorus members offered to remain at the Ramada if they received single rooms and an increase in their per diem.

Vancouver Symphony: New Labor Agreement

The musicians of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, by a vote of 34-21, ratified a two year agreement in force from September 1, 1994. Wages and weeks are frozen in the first year. The second year ('95-96) has a season increase of one week and a 2% across the board wage increase. The number of vacation weeks remain at three and are included in the table below:

The agreement was signed by the Vancouver Symphony Society and the Musicians Association of Vancouver, Local 145, on April 19, 1995.

Deaths

Coleman Bloomfield, chairman of the board of Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance and a board member of many Twin Cities arts groups, died in St. Paul of cancer on June 15. He was 68.

Bloomfield, a native of of Winnipeg, joined the company as an actuarial research assistant in 1952, become vice-president in 1963, and president in 1970, a position he left in 1994. He became board chairman in 1976.

Bloomfield served on the boards of both the Minnesota Orchestra and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra as well as the board of the Ordway Music Theater. Both orchestras are considered primary tenants at the Ordway.

Bloomfield is survived by his wife Shirley, his mother, three sisters, three sons, two daughters, and seven grandchildren.
Marvin Camras, generally credited as the inventor of magnetic tape recording, died on June 23 in Evanston (IL) of kidney failure. He was 79.

Camras built a magnetic wire recording in the late 1930's for a relative who was a singer. He joined the Armour Research Foundation to develop his invention and, after refining the process to record on magnetic tape rather than wire, received a patent in 1944 on "method and means of magnetic recording," one of 500 patents he received during his career. His patents were licensed by over 100 manufacturers. He was awarded the National Medal of Technology in 1990.

Ray Dolby, inventor of the Dolby noise reduction system, told the New York ~Times~ that "Marvin Camras is a legend, and we are all grateful for what he did... the basic principles he explored and designed are used in the tapes and recorder designs in our machines today."

Camras was also an accomplished luthier. One of his violas is played by his son-in-law Charles Piklar, principal violist of the Chicago Symphony.

Camras is survived by his wife, Isabelle Pollak Camras, four sons, a daughter, and six grandchildren.
Robert M. Gargill, a senior partner in the Boston law firm of Choate, Hall, and Steward, and a member of the business fund committee of the Boston Symphony, died on June 11 in Lincoln (MA) of cancer. He was 60.

Gargill was a specialist in bankruptcy and creditors' rights, and founded his firms bankruptcy department. He was a graduate of the Boston Latin School, Harvard University, and Harvard Law School. He also served on the Lincoln Board of Selectman from 1970 to 1979 and was a member of the board of directors of Temple Ohabei Shalom in Brookline.

He is survived by his mother, two sisters, two sons, and a daughter.
Jessie Hauck, a jazz singer who was a frequent guest artist with the Milwaukee Symphony, died on May 23 in a traffic accident in Milwaukee. She was 58.

Hauck was a child prodigy in her native Arkansas, performing gospel music on the radio when she was 7. Before moving to Milwaukee in 1979 to teach at the Milwaukee Conservatory, she worked in Springfield (IL) and St. Louis.

At the time of her death, Hauck was working on her first CD and was scheduled to appear with the MSO as the featured artist on one of the MSO's Pops series sets in April 1996.

Mary Wayne Fritzsche, the MSO's education director, said of Hauck's role in the MSO's Arts in Community Education program that Hauck "developed a wonderful ACE in-school ensemble program... Jessie recreated the setting of her grandmother's porch, where as a child she had loved to listen to her grandmother tell stories and where her own passion for storytelling was kindled. Jessie sat in a rocker beside a trunk from which she pulled out a succession of costume items and props that she integrated into the stories she sang. Full of imagination, her stories led the children on a trip around the world and ultimately back to the story porch. Jessie was a treasure and a remarkable inspiration within ACE."

Hauck is survived by her husband, Howard Lovejoy, and eight children.
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, whose career as a concert pianist spanned five decades, died in Lugano (Switzerland) at the age of 75.

Michelangeli was born in Brescia, Italy, and began his musical studies on the violin at the age of 3. He later switched to piano and graduated from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan at the age of 14. During World War Two he was a pilot in the Italian Air Force and then flew for the anti-fascist resistance. He began an international career in 1945.

He was regarded as one of the great pianists of the 20th century by many observers, but developed a reputation for canceling performances. On one occasion, he was scheduled to make a recording of Beethoven's "Emperor" concerto with Carlos Kleiber, but the project was canceled after a disagreement over the first few bars.

The Australian pianist Stephen McIntyre, who studied with Michelangeli, told the Manchester ~Guardian~ that Michelangeli "was a most inspiring teacher" but that he "never spoke, never smiled. He had an extremely closed and tragic personality, really, and did not warm to people. To this day I'm not sure why he taught. I'm quite sure he didn't know my name at the end of the year." McIntyre also said that, in spite of Michelangeli's glamorous image, he was "anything but a swashbuckler. He was so nerve-wracked, you had to push him onto the stage."
