On behalf of the San Diego Young Artists Symphony and its Board of Trustees, I welcome you to the second annual San Diego Young Artists Symphony Ensembles & Friends Concert, A Salute to the Music of the Movies, a unique concept in youth orchestral performance. SDYAS will be playing side-by-side with our invited guests from eight orchestras and bands of schools from all points of San Diego County as we join together to perform a rich universe of musical scores.

This concert is just part of the SDYAS contribution to the cultural life of San Diego, and I would like to take this opportunity to update you on some of the highlights since we last met in Copley a year ago. Not only did we continue our traditional classical music concerts that we began in 1995 at venues like the Neurosciences Institute, Buddhist Temple, and Church of Mary Magdalene in the spring, but we also initiated a Summer Chamber Music Camp, Music in the Mountains, in Pine Valley. In the summer of 2012 we will repeat this

educational and fun experience under the sun and stars from July 9 to 13. Last season also brought brilliant virtuoso violinist Philippe Quint, who dazzled our students in a master class, as well as coaching sessions by musicians from the San Diego Symphony, and an inspiring workshop with newly appointed SDYAS Artistic Advisor Jung-Ho Pak, who is also the Artistic Director and Conductor of Orchestra Nova.

The Young Artists Symphony has also greatly expanded its programs of service to the larger community. Our chamber groups visited area schools, the Del Mar Fair, San Diego Botanic Garden and dozens of retirement homes reaching people who cannot usually attend concerts such as this one today. Sometimes the reactions of our audiences are unpredictable. One of the activities directors at a retirement home put it this way, My residents kept talking about you days after the performance a pleasant surprise for families who think mom or dad has no short term memory. It is all about the sharing. Our youngsters cherish their audiences as much as the audiences cherish them.

On this special occasion, I also would like to thank the other stars in our SDYAS galaxy, the people whose gargantuan efforts make this concert as well as all our events possible: our devoted Board of Directors, our skilled, talented and caring artistic staff, our young artists -- and I would like to add special thanks to our awesome parents who not only tote our young artists back and forth from rehearsal every Saturday, encourage their children to practice, but also help with the numerous details of creating the top-notch youth orchestra of the region. Our parents deserve a round of applause as much as their talented youngsters -- kudos for a job well-done! Bravissimo!

We look forward to a stellar year in 2012! The new year includes a visit and master class by virtuoso violinist, Augustin Hadelich, another workshop with Maestro Pak, more community involvement and our culminating concert of the year on June 3, at the Garfield Theatre at the Jewish Community Center. But today, we mingle here in Copley Symphony Hall, a place originally constructed as a theater for motion pictures, to share some magical moments with our children. Let us allow our imaginations to drift to worlds where only music and the movies will take us.

Musically yours,

Catherine Nina Evarkiou

San Diego Young Artists Advanced Symphony

Hernan Constantino has worked with San Diego Young Artists Symphony for seven years. He now serves as Music Director and Conductor of the Intermediate and Advanced Orchestras.

Born and raised in the Philippines Mr. Constantino was inspired to take violin lessons because of his father's love of the instrument. He began his studies when he was eight years old under the tutelage of the late Professor Luis Valencia. At age 11 he became a scholar of the Music Promotion Foundation of the Philippines and at age 15, having recently joined the newly formed Cultural Center of the Philippines Philharmonic Orchestra, won first prize in the National Young Artists Competition. As a result, he was invited to perform for the President and Mrs. Marcos.

At nineteen, he left the Philippines for the United States, upon receiving a full scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts. He continued his violin studies under Dorothy DeLay, Hyo Kang and William DePasquale; chamber music under Joseph and William DePasquale; and conducting under Joseph Primavera. He has worked with famous conductors such as Ricardo Muti, Eugene Ormandy, and Klaus Tensthdeth.

SUZUKI ENSEMBLE

Described by the New York Times as a conductor who "radiates enthusiasm" and the Los Angeles Times as "a real grabber", Jung-Ho Pak is known for his unique vision of the role of classical music. Orchestra Nova San Diego appointed Mr. Pak as Artistic Director and Conductor in 2006, and in 2007 he was named Artistic Director and Conductor of the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra (second largest in Massachusetts to the Boston Symphony Orchestra). Since 2003, he has been Director of Orchestras and Music Director of the World Youth Symphony Orchestra and at the Interlochen Center for the Arts.

As a nationally recognized educator, he served as Music Director with the University of Southern California (USC) Symphony and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Orchestra. He has also served as Principal Conductor of the Emmy-nominated Disney Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra and as Music Director of the Debut Orchestra, International Chamber Orchestra, NEXT Chamber Orchestra, Colburn Chamber Orchestra, and Diablo Ballet. Guest conducting has taken him to Europe, the Soviet Union, South America and Asia. Mr. Pak is a frequent speaker on television and radio, as well as a clinician and conductor at national music festivals.

Jung-Ho Pak SDYAS Artistic Advisor

"I think it was a great thing to have someone so experienced conduct us. Mr. Pak helped us learn to watch each other and the conductor at the same time so we could play as one, tight orchestra."

-- Faith Campbell, Age 9

I was amazed to learn so much about the responsibilities of being a concert master I will try to use everything Maestro Pak said in my role as concert master at my middle school orchestra. It is also very exciting to see how quickly he improved our sound with small but important changes in our technique.

-- Cameron Wirtz, Age 14

I'm proud to be able to contribute in a small way to the remarkable success and growth of the Young Artists Symphony. Under the artistic leadership of Hernan Constantino, this organization is destined to become one of the most acclaimed youth orchestra programs in the country. Mr. Constantino is simply one of the finest conductors with whom I have ever worked, and with his kind and selfless personality, he is also one of the most inspiring teachers in the region.

YAS is a very unique program that caters to every age group and to every level of ability. The enthusiastic and experienced conductors have successfully integrated the internationally recognized Suzuki method into their program and introduced early ensembles in the teaching of their youngest students and beginner players. The intermediate and advanced musicians are exposed to challenging musical literature that advances their skill and promotes their musical development. YAS is, without a doubt, a superb institution that offers a complete musical education. I am pleased to share my expertise to further this organization's unending pursuit of excellence.

-- Jung-Ho Pak
