The YAWE Celebrates
10th Anniversary Season
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Young Artists Wind Ensemble. BUTI is commemorating this exciting occasion with two new works written for the ensemble and special guest soloists at this summer's YAWE's Ozawa Hall performances. The July 16th concert, conducted by David Martins, will feature the premier of a new wind ensemble arrangement of "The Willow Twist" from The Garden of Cosmic Speculation by celebrated composer and pedagogue Michael Gandolfi, and a solo appearance by distinguished artist-teacher Terry Everson, trumpet. Conductor H. Robert Reynolds and YAWE founder Frank Battisti (guest conductor) will lead the YAWE in their concert on July 30. This concert will include guest soloist Kenneth Radnofsky, saxophone, and newly commissioned work, "Sowing Useful Truths," by BU and BUTI alumnus Jonathan Newman (Young Artists Composition Program '90, BM, BU College of Fine Arts,'94).

YAVP Alumnae Shine in the 2010 Met National Council Auditions

Two Young Artists Vocal Program alumnae, Lori Guilbeau, soprano (YAVP '02), and Rena Harms, soprano (YAVP '01), took top honors at the 2010 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in March. Lori Guilbeau, one of the five winners of the prestigious competition, was described in the New York Times as "an audience favorite for her lush, melting accounts of arias from Verdi's Don Carlos and Barber's Antony and Cleopatra." Ms. Harms likewise received high praise from the New York Times, who described her as "luminous" in their March 15th review of the competition.
Congratulations to Lori and Rena on this outstanding achievement!

| BUTI Receives $80,000 Grant
from the National Endowment for the Arts
This April, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced that it will award BUTI an $80,000 grant for the 2010 season. This award is the largest that BUTI has ever received from the NEA. The funds will support faculty salaries for the Young Artists Orchestra and the Young Artists Wind Ensemble as well as minority scholarships for YAO and YAWE students. Established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government, the Endowment is now the largest funder of the arts in the United States. The NEA is dedicated to supporting excellence in the arts, both new and established; bringing the arts to all Americans; and providing leadership in arts education.
We are honored by this award,
and are grateful for the Endowment's support. |
2nd Annual BUTI Benefit Concert:
A Tribute to Doriot Anthony Dwyer
On February 16, more than 150 BUTI alumni and friends and members of the Boston University community gathered at the BU College of Fine Arts Concert Hall for an evening of fellowship, fundraising, and exceptional performances honoring legendary flutist Doriot Anthony Dwyer.
With her appointment as principal flute of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) in 1952, a chair she held until her retirement in 1990, Doriot Anthony Dwyer made history as the first woman to hold a principal chair in a major orchestra. Ms. Dwyer joined the Boston University School of Music Faculty in 1973 and in that same year, founded the Flute Seminar (now the Flute Workshop). Since her retirement from the BSO, she has continued to perform both in the US and abroad, but has primarily concentrated on teaching. Her students hold principal flute positions in major orchestras around the country and are teachers at the nation's leading conservatories and music schools.
Above: Doriot enjoys the after-concert reception with School of Music Director Robert K. Dodson and BUTI Artistic & Executive Director Phyllis Hoffman.

The event raised more than $6,000 in scholarships for the 2010 class of Young Artists. Thanks to all who contributed!
