Welcome to Tonight’s PerformanceWe fill our lives with music and we share it with others.

The Strings Attached Orchestra (SAO) is a member driven, community string orchestra made up of over 35 adult am-ateur musicians devoted to bringing music into the lives of the musicians and community alike. Tonight’s concert com-

pletes our second season.

Under the baton of Ric Giorgi, Strings Attached plays repertoire from the 17th century to the 21st, from classical music to popular hits, jazz and ev-erything in between! Whether we learned to play a string instrument as a child or took it up as an adult, we share a love for playing music and a desire to keep growing musically. We rehearse weekly from September to June, and perform around Toronto for hospitals, community centres, retirement homes, schools, libraries, daycares ... and for our friends and family. Ask any of us and you’ll hear how important being part of this group is to our mem-bers and how much richer it has made our lives – musically and beyond.

The Strings Attached Orchestra is a not-for-profit registered Canadian Charitable Organization. We are active in the amateur musician and or-chestra communities and are a member of Orchestras Canada and CAM-MAC (Canadian Amateur Musicians – Musiciens Amateurs du Canada). We are strong believers in the importance of community orchestras and the positive impact we can make.

We are grateful for the opportunity to play and perform together, and we thank you for attending our concert. We hope you enjoy tonight’s concert and we hope to see you again soon!

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER

On behalf of the Government of Ontario, I am delighted to extend warm wishes to everyone attending the Second Annual Friends and Family Year End Concert of Strings Attached Orchestra.

Music and other performing arts play an important role in creating vibrant communities, expressing our evolving cultural identity, and fostering a positive climate for innovation and economic development.

I applaud the members of Strings Attached Orchestra for their commitment to bringing the beauty and refinement of string orchestra music to hospitals, retirement homes and diverse communities across Ontario. In doing so, you are bringing people together and creating a more vibrant cultural landscape in Ontario’s communities.

If you would like to help us continue to bring music into the community by sponsoring SAO in our 2016-17 season, please contact us at

[email protected].

The 2015-16 season has been an exceptionally rewarding one artistically for both the audiences where we have performed, for the orchestra members and especially for the members who took on the demanding study and work of preparing solo parts

for the pieces listed in this year’s final concert programme. This completely falls in line with the goals of the orchestra towards broadening the skills and knowledge of the players and fulfilling the goal of bringing good music making to the various communities we have served and will continue to serve.

The Strings Attached Orchestra is a registered charitable organization among whose goals and visions are to bring musicians together, to help them grow within themselves and to grow through the good deeds of bringing beauty and joy to audiences who have little op-portunity to experience it through live music performances. This season we have added another dimension to our efforts to reach these goals and that is the formation of smaller ensembles from within the orchestra to perform in venues too small to accommodate the entire orchestra. This includes preschool classes, daycares and also our first performance in a library setting, at the Palmerston library, with a program called “The Science of Sound”. The SAO will be presenting one more library concert this summer in support of the Park-dale library’s innovative instrument lending library.

These concerts widen the horizons of children in the important early years of develop-ment and for orchestra members, the sheer delight of children discovering the sound of string instruments and how they make beautiful music is a soul enriching experience on its own.

You can help us with our mission in a number of ways. Any feedback you can send us that can help promote our concerts or any leads you can suggest to groups, institutions or venues that would benefit from our performances are important to us and appreciated. Fundraising is simply a fact of life for arts organizations and makes possible the existence, continued development and the enhancement of what we do best - bringing enriching musical experiences to members of our community who would otherwise not have these. Any suggestions you might have that can lead us to potential sponsors or donors would be invaluable to us and enormously appreciated.

Our Conductor Writes

The Strings Attached Orchestra would like to thank Ric Heinl and our Founding Sponsor George Heinl & Co.

Your generosity has helped bring this orchestra from an idea into a reality!

One of the realities composers face is that there is only one thing more difficult than getting a new composition played for the first time, and that is getting it played a second time. The new and shiny attracts us all and for

orchestras it is even more crucial because the opportunity (let alone the funding) often exists for new work but for a second performance ... well, you’re better off betting on the horses.

And it’s very much the same story with new orchestras. The SAO’s first year was a mountain to climb but keeping the orchestra alive, growing and performing for a second season - this has been another order of challenge. And the credit for the survival and growth of the orchestra rests squarely on the shoulders of the mem-bers and the board of directors. The number of players who have sat in with the orchestra and sent us notes raving about what fun it was to play with us and how amazingly welcoming the players and the board members were to them or the number of audience members who have sent us glowing comments and feedback would fill another programme booklet again.

So it is with great pleasure that I congratulate and thank the orchestra members and the board for making a second season of the SAO a reality and yes it’s been very much like getting a composition played the second time - a thrill, an accom-plishment and a great joy for us all.

This has been an outstanding season of music-making for the orchestra as a whole and for the soloists from the orchestra. The broadening of the format of the or-chestra into smaller groups which can perform in smaller venues is also an indi-cator of the vitality of the orchestra and a harbinger of more good music making to come. What stands out for me is that I think every member of the orchestra has grown as a musician and developed music skills despite as John Lennon put it “..... what happens while you are busy making other plans.” Yes, “Life is ... ” are the missing words and despite the members’ home cares, work cares and “Life” in general, they have met the challenge and triumphed.

I’m particularly thankful to the board for allowing me to develop the Young Com-posers Initiative. This has been in my plans for some years but until this year the logistics of having the orchestra learn a new piece of music in a very short time to perform at a year end concert wasn’t feasible. The orchestra’s growth has allowed it and we hope and believe it will help develop some of the composers of the future in Canada.

I want to thank three groups of people from outside the orchestra who are vital to the orchestra’s success. In no particular order, I want to thank the spouses, partners, children, parents and friends of SAO members who understand the im-portance of the orchestra to the members and support their dedication to making good music for those less able to attend live music events than ourselves.

I also want to thank you our audience, for your support of the orchestra and your vital role in the cultural life of our country. We do this for ourselves but equally, we do it for you.

Lastly, I want to thank our sponsors for their great generosity. Thank you all!

The members of the Strings Attached Orchestra would like to thank you for joining us for tonight’s performance. We hope you enjoy the concert

and we look forward to playing for you both tonight and in the future.

Ricardo (Ric) Giorgi

Ricardo (Ric) Giorgi is a busy Toronto jazz bassist, pianist, singer and the con-ductor and co-founder of the Strings Attached Orchestra. In 2014, Ric and a group of devoted string players decided to start the new Strings Attached

Orchestra, with a vision of building a member driven and musically inspired com-munity orchestra. Thanks to his ceaseless work and devotion, SAO has grown into the string orchestra you see before you today.

Ric’s earliest musical training was in a choir run by nuns in a refugee camp in Northern Italy. In Canada, he started playing flute in high school and soon add-ed the string bass and piano. He joined the Erindale Strings and worked his way through the University of Western Ontario Faculty of Music playing with the best musicians in London, Ontario.

Ric’s conducting studies included programs at The Conductors Institute at the University of South Carolina Orchestra, the University of Tennessee Symphony Orchestra, and Orchestra Zlin Czech Republic. He conducted or co-conduct-ed various levels of ensembles for the Scarborough and Toronto District School Board Music Camps, the Scarborough Schools Symphony Orchestra, and the Con-cert Orchestra, including gala performances at Roy Thompson Hall. He has con-ducted the Brampton Symphony Orchestra, the Timothy Eaton Memorial Orches-tra, the Main Street United Church Festival Orchestra and orchestras assembled for corporate functions in and around Toronto and Buffalo, New York. He led the very successful Rainbow Gardens Jazz Orchestra from “basement band” status to international acclaim. After taking early retirement from the Toronto District School Board, where he was an Itinerant Strings Specialist for almost 20 years, he became the founding conductor of the Resa’s Pieces Strings for four wonderfully successful seasons.

Ric has composed music for film and television and contributed to various CBC and CTV productions, including one episode from the program “The Earth” that won a Peabody Award for Science Education. He was commissioned to write the UNICEF Canada campaign song.

Ric says, “I love all music and I love helping others experience the joy that making it brings to both them and their audiences. Each week I get to stand before musi-cally inspired adults who put aside work, family and other cares to join together to make beautiful music out of thin air. What could be more awesome than this? – Nothing, period.”

The Young Composer Initiative “Cassiopeia” by Adam AdlerHow do composers compose music? Mahler once said “I don’t choose what I compose. It chooses me.” – “Musical ideas pursue me to the point of torture. I cannot get rid of them….” said Haydn. – Tchaikovsky making a joke on being asked “How do you write?” answered “Sitting down”. Most composers write be-cause they can’t not write but getting the music performed is a totally different story. So how does an unknown young composer get a break and get their music performed in public? Our solution – The Strings Attached Orchestra’s Young Com-posers Initiative 2016.

SAO hopes to encourage the writing of contemporary works for strings by young composers, to foster their development and careers and to spread knowledge of their work and talent broadly across Canadian society. The Young Composers Initiative is a project developed by SAO Conductor and Music Director Ricardo Giorgi to stimulate the writing of string orchestra music by composers 16 years of age and younger. This gives young Canadian composers the opportunity to have their music played by members of a string orchestra in a public concert. We hope to bring attention to the talent of these young people and to give their work an initial performance.

We are proud to announce that Adam Adler, a 16-year-old Toronto native, is the winner of the Strings Attached Orchestra’s Young Composers Initiative 2016. The adjudication panel cited Adler’s composition “Cassiopeia” for its enjoyable melod-ic character, orchestration and accessible playability by an amateur orchestra. We hope you enjoy Cassiopeia’s world premiere at tonight’s concert.

SAO also wishes to recognize the talent and efforts of the other compositions submitted to the YCI. Two notable compositions by Adam Kulju and Damiano Perrella tied for second place in the 2016 YCI. Adam Kulju‘s composition “Hope” is cited for its intricacy and detail. Adam is also from Toronto and at 11 years of age he is our youngest composer. “Spoglie Di Tempo” by 16-year-old Toronto composer Damiano Perrella is cited for its originality and as the most adventurous work submitted.

We are looking forward to running the Young Composer Initiative again in 2016-17. More information about YCI can be found on our website. Please direct email inquiries to:

Adam Adler, first place winner of YCI2016

Adam is sixteen years old and is in grade eleven at the Anne and Max Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Acad-emy of Toronto. Adam has had an interest in music since he was two years old, walking around the house playing guitar. He started piano lessons at the age of four. In addition to piano, Adam also plays guitar, saxo-phone and drums. He started composing music at the age of ten and has written many pieces for orchestra, choir and concert bands. He continues to be inspired

to write songs and can often be found sitting at his piano composing. Adam won second place for his orchestral composition “Hard to Say Goodbye” in the Ontario Registered Music Teacher’s Association Music Writing Competi-tion in 2013 at the Ontario level. He also won first place in his age group in the Amadeus Choir Song Writing Competition 2015. Aside from his passion for music, Adam enjoys playing baseball and volleyball and loves skiing in the winter. Recently, Adam has developed an interest in graphic design as well as video and photo editing. He also spends quite a bit of time making mash-ups of current songs and DJing parties and events.

Cassiopeia, commentary by Adam Adler

This piece starts off with a simple melody. As the piece evolves, more and more layers are added. There is the introduction of a new contrasting melody which is added to the original melody while that continues to build. The song ends with the return of the simple original melody. Listening to this melody reminds me of the open, unending sky and naming the piece after a constellation seemed most representative. Cassiopeia is a five star constella-tion. Each star represents one of the five strings in the piece and just as the individual stars come together to make up the constellation, some shining brighter than others at different times, each instrument played together makes up this piece.

Thank You to our Guest ArtistsJune Garber, (vocalist). Watching June sing, you feel as if she is

singing directly to you. Her warmth and sheer joy at being on stage envelopes you, pulls you close and encircles you with her warmth! Every song that she chooses to sing, connects to a base truth within - so there is never any artifice. Her voice reflects each emotional shift that the writer intended. June has toured and performed as a singer in major centres in Canada and the United States and also in Cuba, the

Caribbean, Mexico, South Africa & Australia. She has performed at jazz festivals throughout North America and with big bands in Toronto and Sarasota, Florida. June’s albums “Smile” and “Here’s to You” have garnered rave reviews and extensive airplay around the world. Her latest album, “This I Know”, has just been released and will be available in the lobby during intermission.

Janos Ungvary, (recorder), is a professional recorder player and long-time advocate of historically informed performance practice

as well as early childhood music education. He is currently a Music Specialist with the Toronto District School Board, Primary/Secondary Education. He has taught with the Royal Conservatory of Music, The Toronto Montessori Schools and the Sunnybrook School. He has per-formed to great acclaim in both Europe and North America and is

sought after to lead workshops on early music performance practices. He says “My de-votion to perform, teach and popularize the recorder through the music of the baroque, renaissance and medieval era is a combination of an academic passion and a scholastic responsibility.” His private teaching studio has expanded annually since 1981 specializing in preparing students for auditions and examinations. His work as a Chamber Music coach specializing in ensemble playing, ornamentation and style is well known in the music com-munity. He is a past Chairperson of the American Recorder Society and Member of the Board of the Toronto Early Music Centre.

Frank Nevelo, (recorder), is a passionate musician and his enjoy-ment of performing music is obvious to anyone who sees him play.

He studied early music with the University of Waterloo Early Music Ensemble under Michael Hendricks. He has performed and studied ba-roque music with such groups as the Toronto Early Music Players Or-ganization, CAMMAC, the Toronto Recorder Players Society, the Royal Conservatory of Music, and the Oakville Chamber Orchestra. He has also performed on violin and flute with the U of W Concert Band, the University of Toronto Hart House Orchestra and currently per-

forms with the Vansickle Palm-Court Ensemble and the Musica Maxima Baroque Ensem-ble. Frank has been continuously involved in musical performance since 1981. His years of experience playing in professional, semi-professional and amateur ensembles on a variety of instruments have made him much in demand as a workshop leader in performance practices and especially in exploring the role of continuo and the joy of social music.

Charles Heller (SAO’s 2015-16 Composer In Residence) graduated from Cambridge University and furthered his stud-

ies with Marjan Mozetich. He is an associate member of the Ca-nadian Music Centre (www.musiccentre.ca) and is the author of the award-winning “What To Listen For in Jewish Music” (www.ecanthuspress.com). He has worked with leading musicians includ-

ing Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, Marvin Hamlisch and Rivka Golani, and is especially pleased to compose and arrange for Strings Attached Orchestra, which has given him insight into writing for strings in general and keen amateur musicians in par-ticular.

A Special Thanks to all of our Sponsors

Thank you all very much for your support of the Strings Attached Orchestra!

An orchestra may be nothing without the musical endeavours of its members, but like every other organization, it takes money to make it all happen. The Strings Attached Orchestra is a charitable organization, and though a large part of our operating budget comes from member-ship dues, for the balance, we rely on the kindness and generosity of our corporate sponsors and private donors.

We’d like to extend a special Thank You to all of our Sponsors and Donors for helping make this season so successful and for making it possible for us to bring music into the community!
