Welcome to the 2022-2023 Season of the Sinfonietta!
|
Sinfonietta President,
Susan Buffum Welcome to the Verde Valley Sinfonietta’s 18th Season!
We are so pleased to welcome you back to a new and exciting season - our “Season of the Audition”. While we were sorry to say good bye in May to our retiring music director and conductor Kevin Kozacek, we are excited to begin a new chapter for the Sinfonietta. |
This season we are auditioning four stellar candidates to become our new music
director/conductor - Scott Seaton, William White, Daniel O’Bryant and Janna Hymes. These
candidates are the finalists from a pool of ninety-nine candidates who applied for the position.
You, our audience, will play an important role in choosing our new director. Audience members
will be given a survey at each concert and your feedback will be a vital component in our
evaluation of the candidates.
The finalists have each chosen a repertoire and a guest soloist to perform with the Sinfonietta.
They are a very talented and diverse group of musicians. Music selections range from familiar
classics to some fairly recent compositions. Every concert is certain to delight and maybe even
introduce you to something new that expands your musical horizons.
I hope you can attend each of our concerts this season and evaluate all four of our candidates.
Please be sure to fill out the survey at the end of each concert.
I encourage you to visit our website at www.vvsinfonietta.org for information about the
Sinfonietta, to listen to excerpts from past concerts, purchase tickets and make a donation.
Ticket revenue only covers a small portion of our concert expenses so your financial support is
always deeply appreciated.
Sadly, the Sinfonietta mourns the passing this past year of three of our advisory board members
- Marilyn Thaden-Dexter, Mille Leenhouts and Lelia Schoenberg (one of our founders). All three
women were exemplary supporters of the arts in Sedona and shared a great love for classical
music and the Sinfonietta. We will miss them dearly.
Finally, I want to offer a word of gratitude to all my fellow music lovers - audience members,
donors, advertisers, grantors, volunteers, staff, board and, of course, our wonderful musicians.
You make beautiful music possible in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Gratefully yours,
