I’m proud to welcome you to another amazing line-

up of guest artists and incredible music in our new

season of concerts. And this year, we’re celebrating

the 15th anniversary of our performance home, the

Francis Winspear Centre for Music.

My friend Bill Dimmer - Assistant Principal

Trumpet of the ESO - likes to say that the hall

is the 57th member of the orchestra. There’s no

doubt the incredible acoustics of our hall have

made us a better orchestra. We’re so grateful

for the visionary hard work and dedication of so

many community volunteers and supporters who

created one of the greatest performance spaces

in the world.

This year also marks the 10th anniversary

of the Winspear Centre’s crown jewel, the

Davis Concert Organ. Please make a point

of taking in a performance that features this

stunning instrument.

These milestones are not possible without the

continuing support, faith, and investment of this

community in what we do. We’re thrilled to offer

you our 2012-2013 ESO Season and thank you

for continuing to come along for the ride.

Be proud of this hall, Edmonton! We love our

home and invite you to experience the ESO at the

Winspear Centre this year.

Peace,

Bill Eddins, Music Director

31Education Concerts

Each season, the ESO presents weekday education concerts for nearly 25,000 children between Kindergarten and Grade 12 from Edmonton and surrounding areas. These educational programs, aligned with Alberta curriculum, offer unique, varied and interactive learning opportunities about music for students of all ages. Teachers receive study guides in advance to prepare their classes and stimulate discussion about orchestra instruments, composers, rhythm patterns and more!

Upbeat!

Schools with modest budgets can apply for grants through Upbeat! to help cover the costs of attending ESO Education concerts. With support from a generous donor, we may be able to provide classrooms with complimentary tickets and transportation.

For more information about these programs, visit EdmontonSymphony.com/Education, or email to [email protected].

Musicians in the Making

Ready to reveal your talent and gain that all-important experience of performing before live audiences? We’re looking for student soloists and small ensembles to perform half-hour showcases in the Winspear Centre lobby prior to selected ESO performances. Participants are then invited to a complimentary concert. Musicians also have the opportunity to perform at the Edmonton International Airport.

Young Composers Project

The ESO invites high school students passionate about composing to apply for the rare opportunity to receive compositional mentorship with the ESO’s Composer in Residence, Robert Rival. One student will receive a $1,000 bursary towards post-secondary studies, compose a new work and hear it performed by the ESO for more than 2,000 patrons at Symphony Under the Sky.

Musicians in the Classroom

Schools across Edmonton and surrounding areas have the unique opportunity to have ESO musicians in their classroom.

From elementary Education Concerts to junior and senior high school programs, we want to give all students the chance to experience the ESO Live at the Winspear Centre.

“I feel blessed. Where else would a 17-year old high school kid who comes from a non-musical family get to compose a piece on his piano one summer day, and a year later have it performed by an entire professional orchestra in front of a sold-out crowd?”

- Sean Doherty, YCP Recipient 2010

Our Performance HomeThe Francis Winspear Centre for Music is a world-class venue, rehearsal, library and administration space for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. This hub of creativity also serves as a venue of choice for many private and corporate functions, local community groups, arts organizations and travelling performers. We are proud to celebrate its 15th anniversary this year of the Francis Winspear Centre for Music.

The jewel of the Winspear Centre is the Davis Concert Organ, the largest concert organ in Canada. We celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Davis Concert Organ in our 2012-2013 ESO Season with special performances featuring this stunning instrument.

ESO Musicians in the CommunityMany ESO musicians teach private lessons and as part of music programs at the University of Alberta, Grant MacEwan University, Alberta College and other institutions. They are also involved with many local ensembles, from Alberta Baroque Ensemble to jazz trios. The impact on the musical vibrancy of a community by having a professional symphony orchestra is immeasurable!

Giving BackThe musicians and staff of the ESO & Winspear Centre are personally and corporately concerned with many social causes and support other charitable groups serving our community. Edmonton’s Food Bank, Kids Up Front, Ronald McDonald House, and the Christmas Bureau are just a few of the charities that directly benefit from the ESO and Winspear Centre each year.

cOMMUNitYGovernment FundersThe ESO would like to thank the following government agencies for their support of live symphonic music in Edmonton.
