Lee Stametz: Denver theater community
loses its piano man By
John Moore
Denver Post Theater Critic
Posted: 09/23/2010 06:02:04 PM MDT  Lee Stametz hit all the right notes. Not only on the piano, but as a
person. "Lee was possessed with a powerful calm," said Broadway musical director Ray
Roderick. And in times of great stress, Stametz always had an obvious solution
at the ready. "He would simply walk up and put his arm around me, and everything
would just be better." Stametz, who composed original music for at least 14 productions and played
piano for many more during his 24 years at the Denver Center, died of cancer
early Thursday at his Denver home. He was 55. "He leaves a really big hole in the fabric of things with his passing," said
former Denver Center actor and director Jamie Horton, with whom Stametz
collaborated on "Inna Beginning" and many other Denver Center productions. "His
spirit reached out to so many people, and it is a rare human being who does
that." Read OnLee Stametz joined the Denver Musicians Association in 2001 |

DMA Policy on Community Orchestras & Bands |
With a solid quorum of 25 members present at DMA's Sept 27 General Membership meeting, a policy defining the jurisdictions of Professional Ensembles and Community Ensembles was unanimously adopted. This revised policy answers to recent competitive activities of the Lone Tree Symphony and the Timberline Symphony that defy all reasonable, ethical standards.
Approximately 30 community orchestras are now established in metro Denver, which is an extraordinary number. Some are invaluable community partners, but others have no understanding of purpose, nor do they show regard for our industry. The responsibility to identify and support only those organizations that prove to be genuine community partners therefore rests entirely on each and every one of us. DMA standards and subsequent member obligations are now clearly delineated in the DMA Policy on Community Orchestras & Bands. This policy mirrors the established Music Code of Ethics, which is an AFM/MENC agreement dating back to 1947 that defines the jurisdictions of professional musicians and school musicians.
The DMA welcomes your public comments on this subject. Click Here to post.

The Music Code of Ethics
|
By Joshua Jones,
eHow Contributor Music ethics concerns the intersection of professional and student musicians.  | Particularly in small towns, there is often a conflict
between amateur musicians and ensembles, like high school music programs and professional
musicians. An individual might hire a local high school ensemble for much less
than a professional musician. Because of the potential conflict between
professional and amateur musicians that might diminish the number of paying
gigs, music educators and professional musicians have collaborated to define the
circumstances under which it is ethical for amateur musicians to accept
private or public paid performances. Read On |
Dallas Symphony
Orchestra CEO Doug Adams resigning
| The
Dallas Morning News
Tuesday, August
17, 2010
By SCOTT CANTRELL /
scantrell@dallasnews.com
Just two years after arriving as the Dallas
Symphony Orchestra's president and CEO, Doug Adams is
resigning, effective in 30 days. His is the second high-profile resignation on
the local arts scene in just more than a month, after Mark Nerenhausen left the
AT&TPerforming Arts Center.
Although the DSO has a roughly $4 million deficit from the last season, Adams
said he made the decision for personal reasons. In particular, he hasn't been able to sell a home in Denver , where
he was previously president and CEO of the ColoradoSymphony.

The Grades are In - Congressional Voting Record on the Arts

Dear
Peter,
Did you ever bring home a bad grade on a report card as a kid? What about in
the arts? Hard to imagine. Well, our U.S.
Senators brought home their grades on our Congressional
Arts Report Card, and although they weren't graded on their paintings
or musical scales, they managed to fail the arts.
We're featuring 12 of the 28 senators that failed the arts as the Dirty Dozen
online
now. Take a moment to see why each of these senators received an F and learn
what you can do to make sure they do better next time!
Sincerely,
Robert

Call for GBYO brass
musicians
| | Dear music teachers,
We're very excited that many people are
showing a great deal of interest in the new Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras,
and we've already received more than 150 audition applications. However, we're
light on brass, especially low brass. We have trumpet players, but need horns,
trombones, and tuba.
We are only a few brass players away from
assembling a full orchestra, and I hope you'll join me in seeking out talented
and enthusiastic brass students to work with Maestro Gary Lewis, the artistic
staff, and the GBYO mentoring program in this inaugural season. It promises to
be a tremendous year full of wonderful opportunities.
I'd also like to remind you at this time
that all GBYO musicians are required to participate in their parallel school
music ensemble and take private lessons.
More about our programs and conductors,
and an audition application, can be found online at www.greaterboulderyo.org
and I'd certainly be more than happy to talk with you about the coming
year.
Thanks!

Quiet
Song for Band- Grade 1/2, by Debbie Davidson.
A great song for the
first band concert of the year! It uses the first five notes typically used in
band method books, and is inspired by "Bolero." A quiet tune begins with the
flutes and then gradually all of the instruments are added for a big climax
before it tapers back down to the flutes. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

Finale to Beethoven Symphony No. 9- Grade 2+
for full orchestra and SAB chorus, Debbie Davidson.
Arranged to make this
amazing classic accessible for middle school students. Key signatures and
changes are simplified. Vocal parts are all doubled, and the Baritone part is
optional. An advanced part is included for extra support - when this piece was
premiered at Cherry Creek Academy, a teacher played this advanced part on the
cello and an advanced piano student played it on piano. Most of the second parts
(i.e. second clarinet, second flute, second violin) can be handled by students
in their second year of instruction. The Cherry Creek Academy performance
involved singers, grades 5 - 8, band members, grades 6 - 8, and orchestra
members, grades 6-8.
