Worcester Symphony Orchestra (formerly New England Symphony Orchestra and Thayer Symphony Orchestra) is the continuation of 40-plus years of music making in central Massachusetts. The orchestra is committed to several local performances each year and is engaged in discussions with several local groups about potential collaborative programming. Roderick MacDonald has been the orchestra’s music director since 2014. He is the former principal trumpet of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig and a former conducting student of both Kurt Masur and Bernard Haitink. Under his leadership the orchestra has increased its use of video programming during the COVID pandemic through such initiatives as NESO at Home (downloadable videos of small groups of NESO musicans in intimate settings) and the co-production of AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS with VOX New England.

Me2 is the world’s only classical music organization created for musicians living with mental illness and the people who support them. Approximately half of Me2’s musicians have a diagnosis, including bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, anxiety, dissociative disorder, and addiction.

Me2 exists because we live in a world where people with mental illnesses are stigmatized and discriminated against. Our rehearsals and performances create opportunities for us to educate people about the realities of living with mental illnesses and support those who are seeking treatment.

The Jack Soref Trio will be celebrating the music of guitar hero Django Reinhardt, and the very special acoustic guitars which have always made his music sing.

About Portland Youth Philharmonic

In 1924, a group of visionary citizens established the Portland Junior Symphony Association (later renamed the Portland Youth Philharmonic Association or PYP for short). Building on the pioneering work of Mary V. Dodge, whose Irvington School Orchestra was the nucleus of the first Junior Symphony, the Association engaged Russian émigré Jacques Gershkovitch as conductor. PYP is the oldest youth orchestra in the United States. The structure and standards that it established for training young musicians in the 1920s became the prototype for youth orchestras across the country.

In 1954, an alumnus of the orchestra, Jacob Avshalomov, was selected as PYP’s second Musical Director and led the Junior Symphony for a legendary forty-year tenure. Under Maestro Avshalomov, the orchestra received the distinguished ASCAP Award for “Adventuresome Programming of Contemporary Music,” and it made six international tours to Europe and Asia. In 1978, the organization’s name was changed to Portland Youth Philharmonic. When Mr. “A” retired after a very long and impressive career, he was succeeded in 1995 by Huw Edwards.

Huw Edwards was named Musical Director in 1995 following Maestro Avshalomov’s retirement. During the seven years Maestro Edwards was Musical Director, he established the nationally acclaimed Peer Mentor program, broadcasted the world’s first interactive Children’s Concert via satellite across Oregon, and again, received the ASCAP Award for “Adventurous Programming and Commitment to Contemporary Music.” In 1998, PYP represented U.S. at the Banff International Festival of Youth Orchestras in Canada, and in the summer of 2000 embarked on its seventh international tour, this time to Australia and New Zealand.

When Mr. Edwards chose to make his departure at the end of the 2001-2002 season, Mei-Ann Chen was selected from a field of over 100 applicants to become the fourth Musical Director of PYP. Under her leadership, the orchestra toured domestically and internally, and received its third ASCAP Award for “Adventuresome Programming of Contemporary Music.”

In 2008, David Hattner was selected as PYP’s 5th Musical Director from a pool of 112 candidates and fifteen years later, he continues to lead the orchestra down a distinguished path of artistry and success.

Over the years, thousands of young musicians have played in one or more of PYP’s ensembles. Some have gone on to professional careers in orchestras across the country, including the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, the National Symphony, the St. Louis Symphony, the Oregon Symphony, as well as Juilliard and American String Quartets. Others have achieved great success in teaching music or exploring non-musical fields, while continuing to be accomplished amateur musicians and active supporters of the arts in their communities. Alumni often attribute much of their success in life to the discipline and teamwork they experienced as members of the Portland Youth Philharmonic.

2024 NEMFA Concert Festival
2024-03-23 14:30
Please join us in this performance of 400 of the top high school musicians from all across New England who have come together almost every year since 1927 to create outstanding musical ensembles including a Symphony Orchestra, a Symphonic Band, and a Concert Chorus.

In 1927, the New England Music Festival Association (NEMFA) was formed to give outstanding experiences in musical performance to high school students throughout the six New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The Association’s very first festival was held in Boston with Conductor John Philip Sousa. (As a side note, Sousa conducted Band concerts here in Worcester’s Mechanics Hall 27 times! ) Since this particular Concert Festival is the 97th Anniversary of NEMFA, it seemed natural that a great place to hold the festival would be in the area near to our roots… Worcester, “The Heart” of Massachusetts and New England. As one of the first areas in the New World where settlers arrived to pursue a new way of life, this area is home to many firsts in American history. In the area of music, it is significant to note that Boston is where American Music Education in the public schools began under Lowell Mason. Music Education has since become a dynamic part of American schools. The members of NEMFA continue to take pride in the many wonderful concerts that have been held over these past 97 years. Thousands of young lives have been shaped and nurtured through music as a result. It is a heritage for which all music educators may be justly proud.
