Santa Barbara Junior Orchestra
Welcome to the Santa Barbara Junior
Orchestra!
Hello Friends,
What a marvelous year we have experienced! The addition of woodwinds
and brass to the Junior Strings has expanded our sound and range to new
heights. For our novice players, this new sound was a grand experience as
well as being in an ensemble for the first time. Our more seasoned students
have been great with helping them adjust to their new surroundings. All the
students are such wonderful people. They demonstrate this character by
sharing their knowledge with each other and by working together. It's a
delight to watch this interaction.
Our program selections of classical music, pop tunes and chamber
ensembles keep our students active and engaged. They always put forth their
best effort. You can see the gleam in their eyes and the excitement in their
faces when Team JO unifies their sound into one huge instrument.
Music has a way of bringing people together without speaking. When you
hear a song, when you sing a song, one tends to smile. It places you in a
better state of mind. To be a member of the community that helps expand the
knowledge and special qualities of music is a privilege. Thank you for
allowing me to share the subject that gives me continued joy.

Conductor, Junior Orchestra
Bienvenido a la Santa Barbara Orquesta
Juvenil!
Hola Amigos,
Que año tan maravilloso hemos experimentado. Con la adición de
instrumentos de viento y bronce al grupo de Junior Strings ha ampliado
nuestro sonido y alcance a nuevas alturas. Para nuestros miembros, este
nuevo sonido fue una gran experiencia, igual que siendo parte de un
conjunto por primera vez. Nuestros estudiantes más avanzados han hecho un
buen trabajo ayudando a los demás ajustarse sus nuevos alrededores. Todos
los estudiantes son personas tan maravillosas. Ellos han demostrado este
carácter, compartiendo su conocimiento con cada uno y trabajando juntos.
Es un placer ver esta interacción.
Nuestra selección de programa, que incluye música clásica, melodías pop y
conjunto de cámara, mantiene nuestros estudiantes activos e involucrados.
Ellos siempre aportan su mejor esfuerzo. Pueden mirar el brillo en sus ojos y
la emoción en sus rostros
La música tiene una manera de unir a las personas sin hablar. Cuando
escuchas una canción, cuando cantas una canción, uno tiende a sonreír, lo
coloca en un mejor estado de ánimo. Para ser un miembro de la comunidad
que ayuda a ampliar el conocimiento y las cualidades especiales de la música
es un privilegio. Gracias por permitirme compartir el tema que
me da alegría que continua.

About Marisa McLeod
Marisa McLeod, a native of
Newark, New Jersey, began her studies of
the violin at the age of 3. She received her
bachelor of music degree at Montclair
State University, and her master of music
degree from the University of Rochester’s
Eastman School of Music. She studied the
Suzuki method and received her Suzuki
certification from the Eastman School under Anastasia Jempelis. She has
continued her Suzuki studies with Cathryn Lee, Edmund Sprunger, Sherry
Cadow, Martha Shackford, and Mark Bjork.
She was a member of the Anderson String Quartet for 10 years.
She has studied the art of string quartet playing with the Cleveland
Quartet with Peter Salaff as her private teacher, Juilliard String Quartet,
American String Quartet, and Le Quatuor de Deux Monde, in
Fontaineblau, France. Members of the Anderson Quartet were artists in
residence and members of the music faculty at California State University,
Los Angeles. She has also performed and recorded for such artists as
Snoop Dog, Smokey Robinson, En Vogue, Moesha, Stevie Wonder, Earth,
Wind and Fire, and many others.
She presently performs with the California Philharmonic, Santa
Barbara Symphony, and various orchestras in Southern California. She has
taught strings for the Arts Council of Conejo Valley. She is presently a
Suzuki and strings instructor at the Viewpoint School in Calabasas and
adjunct professor at Westmont College. She also maintains private violin
and viola studios in South Pasadena, Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, and
Santa Barbara.
For Marisa, performance is sustenance. She relishes the
interdependence between art, the artist, and the audience. And as a
teacher and coach, she finds herself in the enviable position of being
able to pass on to others the how-to of creating this loving relationship.

Santa Barbara Youth Symphony
Welcome to the Santa Barbara
Youth Symphony!
What a wonderful day to celebrate another great year!
Today is a celebration for the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony, and for music.
As you sit in the beautiful Lobero Theatre, you might have already spent some
time in front of the Theatre at the “Hands-On” event. Perhaps you attended
the high tea honoring many of the Youth Symphony’s celebrated heroes,
heard your musician practicing today, or hummed the tunes from yesterday’s
Junior Orchestra concert.
Not every concert-goer has this much musical preparation for a concert! I
hope today’s music will leave you with an additional musical taste that you
can take with you. Surely you will leave with an added amount of respect for
our wonderful musicians and realize how much preparation by staff and
volunteers goes into such an event.
Our SBYS seniors, playing their final concert, have been practicing and
performing for years. Today might be an important concert for them, but
most will be playing in a new ensemble, maybe in a new location, within a
couple of months. Our fine staff at the Santa Barbara Symphony is already
working on next year’s program, finding new collaborations and getting
ready for the next wave of musicians readying themselves for the SBYS
experience.
Year-end concerts leave me feeling somewhat sad. It feels like the
bittersweetness of finishing the last page of a great book. But the beauty of
life as a musician or as a music lover, is that the next concert, the next song,
the next season, is already being prepared. All are just waiting for someone
to push the play button.
Thank you for being part of the SBYS family!
Andy Radford, Santa Barbara Youth Symphony Music Director
Bienvenidos a la Santa Bárbara
Sinfónica Juvenil!
Qué día maravilloso para celebrar otro gran año!
Hoy es una celebración de la la Santa Barbara Youth Symphony , y para la música. Al
sentarse en el hermoso Lobero Theater, es posible que ya haya pasado algún tiempo
en frente del Teatro en el evento "Hands-On". Tal vez asistió a la merienda en honor a
muchos de los héroes de Youth Symphony , oyó la práctica de su músico, o tarareaba
las canciones del concierto de la Junior Orchestra de ayer.
No todos los que asisten conciertos tiene esta gran preparación musical para un
concierto! Espero que la música de hoy le dejará con un gusto musical adicional que
se puede llevar con usted.
Seguramente usted saldrá con una cantidad adicional de respeto a nuestros
maravillosos músicos y darse cuenta de la cantidad de preparación del personal y los
voluntarios de este evento.
Nuestros estudiantes de SBYS que están en su último año de terminar la
preparatoria, tocando su último concierto, han estado practicando y
presentando desde hace años. Hoy puede ser un concierto importante para
ellos, pero más importante será tocar en un nuevo conjunto, tal vez en una
nueva ubicación, dentro de un par de meses. Nuestro fabulosa personal de
la Santa Barbara Symphony ya está trabajando en el programa del próximo
año,encontrando nuevas colaboraciones y preparándose para la siguiente ola
de músicos preparando para la experiencia SBYS.
Conciertos de fin de año me dejan sintiendo un poco triste. Se siente como el
agridulce de término de la última página de un gran libro. Pero la belleza de la vida
como músico o de un amante de la música, es que el siguiente concierto, la siguiente
canción, la siguiente temporada, se está ya preparando. Todos están esperando para
que alguien presione el botón de tocar.
Gracias por ser parte de la familia de la SBYS!
