Barbecue to Benefit the Bozeman Symphony 6:30-8:30 July 4th
Presented with Gallatin Empire Lions Club
Celebrating his twentieth anniversary season as Music Director of the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Choir and continuing in his sixth season as Music Director of the Wyoming Symphony Orches-tra, MATTHEW SAVERY enjoys an expanding reputation for his multi-faceted career as an electrifying performer, dedicated orchestra builder and charismatic teacher.
Along with his regular duties with the Bozeman Symphony, where his innovative subscription, family and children’s programming earns con-sistent praise - and sold-out houses, Matthew Savery has established an active commissioning program, bringing compelling new compositional voices to his orchestra and its audiences, among them: Erik Santos - Karnak, ...in the Mines of Desire, Sun Road (Five Symphonic Dances for Orchestra); Elodie Lauten - Symphony 2001; James M. Stephenson, III - Concertino and Fanfare for Orchestra; Lowell Liebermann - Concerto for Clarinet. During his years with the orchestra, Mr. Savery has also presided over a ten-fold rate of financial growth, while regularly attracting over 4.3% of Bozeman’s population to its concerts. For several seasons, Matthew Savery offered the Montana’s schools a “Conductor in Residency” program that accounted for dozens of hours per school year. He is much in demand as both a competition adjudicator and an in-school clinician. Mr. Savery is a recipient of the Eugene and Sadie Power Award for the Performing Arts. In October 1998, he and the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra were the subjects of a special feature on “CBS Sunday Morning.”
Since his 2008 appointment to the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra, Matthew Savery and his notable artistic and organizational skills have refocused the greater-Casper area’s attention on the orchestra with gratifying results, among them a dramatic elevation of the orchestra’s artistic achievement and the quality of its guest artists, a broadening of the scope of the performance repertoire, a 30% increase in attendance and a 35% increase in the budget. With enthusiastic Board support, he introduces children’s and family concerts during the current season, while introducing “Music on the Move,” an outreach program, featuring chamber ensembles who serve as ambassadors from the orchestra to the community at large and “Conductor in Residency” – both programs offered to all educational levels, from primary to college. Of special pride to the entire organization are the plans to tour throughout the State of Wyoming, beginning with the 2013-2014 season.
A native of Western Massachusetts, just “down the road” from the famed Tanglewood Music Festival, Matthew Savery graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music and received his Master of Music Degree from the University of Michigan, where he was the recipient of a Teaching Assistant-ship to the prestigious studio of Gustav Meier and to which he returned in 2001 and 2006 as a Visiting Guest Lecturer. In addition to Mr. Meier, his principal teachers have been Pascal Verrot and Frank Battisti.
While at the University of Michigan, Matthew Savery was the founding Music Director of the University Campus Chamber Orchestra; subsequently, he served as Music Director of the Comic Opera Guild of Ann Arbor. He has also led performances with the Boise, Dayton, Fort Wayne, Long Island and Naples philharmonics, East Texas, El Paso, Greater Bridgeport (16 performances), Greater Lansing, Lake St. Clair, New Haven, Quad City, Saginaw Bay, Sioux City, Springfield (MA, MO and OH), South Dakota and Virginia symphony orchestras, Missouri Chamber Orchestra, Cape May Music Festival, Canada’s Victoria Symphony, Italy’s Orchestra Sinfonica di Bari and Turkey’s Presidential Symphony Orchestra. In 2001 he made a notable debut with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, opening its acclaimed summer series at Conner Prairie. Mr. Savery was a member of the first class of the International Institute for Conductors in Kiev, Ukraine, and has led that country’s National Symphony Orchestra in public performance.
Matthew Savery—Music Director and Conductor
A Letter from the Music Director and Conductor
Dear Friends,
As we come to the conclusion of our 2013-2014 concert season, I would like to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and encouragement of the Bozeman Symphony and Symphonic Choir. It is a tremendous honor for us to perform for such a friendly audience of true symphonic music lovers. We are grateful for your attendance at our concerts, for your engaged listening, and for your financial support. We simply could not do it without you!
At the conclusion of our 46th concert season, we bid farewell to a member of our orchestra who has been with the group for its entire existence. Lorna Nelson, our principal oboist, has been in the orchestra since the very first rehearsal, and will retire this weekend. A 46 year career is impressive indeed, but when one considers that all of the major oboe solos in the repertoire have been heard in Bozeman--for 46 years--via Lorna’s playing, then one realizes the profound impact that she has had on our community. Please join me in wishing all the best to Lorna, and thanking her for over four decades of great music.
We are excited to see a renovation to Willson Auditorium, and our deepest gratitude goes out to all who have both worked and contributed to make this happen. It means, however, that we won’t be performing here through much of next season. Instead, we will be at The Commons, on the corner of Baxter and Love. We are very happy to have found such a suitable location for our concerts. It’s brand new, spacious, and has state-of-the-art technology. We know it’s a few miles from downtown and this may cause some inconvenience, but we hope you will overlook any inconvenience to continue experiencing the magic of live symphonic music. We have an exciting season of performances planned in which we intend to utilize the technology available to make the concert experience even more vibrant and exciting. Please don’t miss one note!
Thank you again for being with us this season, and don’t forget to join us at the Fairgrounds on the 4th of July for our third appearance at The Festival of the Fourth.
Enjoy!
Matthew Savery

Support the Symphony
The support of the community, businesses, and individuals is vital to the livelihood and success of the Bozeman Symphony. Ticket sales cover less than 40% of our annual operating budget and we rely upon contributions in order to continue to present high quality musical presentations to Bozeman and surrounding areas. To ensure the continued vitality of the Bozeman Symphony we encourage you to become a Bozeman Symphony Supporter! There are many ways to become involved:
• Annual Fund Support: Any amount is helpful and appreciated to support our annual operating expenses.
• Symphony Underwriters program: Symphony Underwriters commit to a minimum annual contribution of $1200 ($100/month). In addition to a variety of benefits, our Underwriters are invited to use our Hospitality Room at Concerts and are invited to our annual Underwriter’s Appreciation Party and Season Sneak Preview.
• Up Close & personal: Sponsor A player: Each year our Symphony embarks on a campaign to support all of our dedicated Bozeman Symphony Musicians. Look for the Up Close & Personal: Sponsor A Player Campaign posters and information in the program and in the lobby.
• Concert and Event Sponsorship: This is the perfect opportunity for businesses and individuals to show support for a specific Concert or event. Sponsors receive many benefits such as complimentary tickets and advertising.
• Bozeman Symphony Endowment: Build a legacy of inspiring symphonic music by contributing to the permanent endowment fund. This fund will accumulate through the years to provide permanent operating support for the Bozeman Symphony and Symphonic Choir. Your gift will be preserved forever in this fund, leaving a lasting memory of music.
• planned Giving: Bozeman Symphony’s Mrs. Robert W. Martin, Jr. Legacy Society: Provide for the future of the Bozeman Symphony and Symphonic Choir and keep music alive for generations to come through a bequest, gift of securities, gift of retirement plan assets or a gift of life insurance. Call the Bozeman Symphony Office to request a brochure which describes the ways in which you can remember the Bozeman Symphony in your planned giving.
• Volunteer: We would never be able to accomplish all that we do without our amazing volunteers who support the Symphony with ushering and assisting at Concerts, providing refreshments to the musicians, providing event support and assisting the office staff.
We are fortunate to live in the beauty of the valleys and mountains that surround us. We are doubly blessed to have in our small community the magnificent music brought to us by the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra and Choir. This remarkable achievement is due to the unusual number of highly talented musicians living among us, and to their selfless dedication to the orchestra and choir. We all benefit in some way from our orchestra and choir. Those who hear them benefit the most, but all of us benefit from the way they enrich the entire community.
We, in turn, owe our orchestra and choir our generous and continuing support. For this reason, our Underwriters have committed to contributing a minimum of $1,200 to the Bozeman Symphony this year (the equivalent of $100 each month, exclusive of tickets or other benefits) and, if circumstances permit, in future years as well.
Please join the Bozeman Symphony Society in thanking the Underwriters for their ongoing commitment to the Symphony and its wellbeing, and consider becoming a member of our Underwriters Group to help provide a stable and secure base of funding for our orchestra for years to come.
Please contact us at 585-9774 for information about becoming an Underwriter.

PRAYER for PEACE TRIUMPHANT
Choral Text
Dona Nobis Pacem Ralph Vaughan Williams
I
Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world Dona nobis pacem. Grant us peace.
II
Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow! Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force, Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation, Into the school where the scholar is studying; Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride, Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing his field or gathering his grain, So fierce you whirr and pound you drums—so shrill you bugles blow.
Beat! beat! drums! —blow! bugles! blow! Over the traffic of cities—over the rumble of wheels in the streets; Are beds prepared for sleepers at night in the houses? No sleepers must sleep in those beds, No bargainers’ bargains by day—would they continue? Would the talkers be talking? would the singer attempt to sing? Then rattle quicker, heavier drums—you bugles wilder blow.
Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow! Make no parley—stop for no expostulation, Mind not the timid—mind not the weeper or prayer, Mind not the old man beseeching the young man, Let not the child’s voice be heard, nor the mother’s entreaties, Make even the trestles to shake the dead where they lie awaiting the hearses, So strong you thump O terrible drums—so loud you bugles blow.
-Walt Whitman
III Reconciliation
Word over all, beautiful as the sky, Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost, That the hands of the sisters Death and Night incessantly, softly, wash again and ever again this soiled world; For my enemy is dead, a man divine as myself is dead, I look where he lies white-faced and still in the coffin—I draw near, Bend down and touch lightly with my lips the white face in the coffin.
-Walt Whitman
IV Dirge for Two Veterans
The last sunbeam Lightly falls from the finished Sabbath, On the pavement here, and there beyond it is looking Down a new-made double grave.
Lo, the moon ascending, Up from the east the silvery round moon, Beautiful over the house-tops, ghastly, phantom moon, Immense and silent moon.
I see a sad procession, And I hear the sound of coming full-keyed bugles, All the channels of the city streets they’re flooding As with voices and with tears.
I hear the great drums pounding, And the small drums steady whirring, And every blow of the great convulsive drums Strikes me through and through.
For the son is brought with the father, In the foremost ranks of the fierce assault they fell, Two veterans, son and father dropped together, And the double grave awaits them.
And nearer blow the bugles, And the drums strike more convulsive, And the daylight o’er the pavement quite has faded, And the strong dead-march enwraps me.
In the eastern sky up-buoying, The sorrowful vast phantom moves illumined, ‘Tis some mother’s large transparent face, In heaven brighter growing.
O strong dead-march you please me! O moon immense with your silvery face you soothe me! O my soldiers twain! O my veterans passing to burial! What I have I also give you.
The moon gives you light, And the bugles and the drums give you music, And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans, My heart gives you love.
-Walt Whitman
V
The Angel of Death has been abroad throughout the land; you may almost hear the beating of his wings. There is no one as of old . . . to sprinkle with blood the lintel and the two side-posts of our doors, that he may spare and pass on.
-John Bright
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan; the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land . . . and those that dwell therein . . . The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved . . . Is there no balm in Gilead?; Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
-Jeremiah 8:15-22
Choral Text continued
VI
O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.
-Daniel 10:19
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former . . . and in this place will I give peace.
-Haggai 2:9
Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall there be war any more. And none shall make them afraid, neither shall the sword go through their land. Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will go into them. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled; and let them hear, and say, it is the truth. And it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see my glory. And I will set a sign among them, and they shall declare my glory among the nations. For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, so shall your seed and your name remain for ever. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will toward men.
-Micah 4:3, Leviticus 26:6, Psalms 85:10 and 118:19, Isaiah 43:9 and 66:18-22, and Luke 2:14
Dona nobis pacem. Grant us peace.

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958): Dona nobis pacem
You may be more familiar with Ralph Vaughan Williams (born in England, where his first name is pronounced “Rafe” and “Vaughan Williams” is an unhyphenated double surname) through his orchestral works Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (1910), a sixteenth-century English composer of secular and sacred music, and his Fantasia on “Greensleeves” (1934), an Elizabethan folk song. But much in his canon integrates voice and orchestra. Dona Nobis Pacem (1936) is only one of these. There are also five operas, one a setting of John Millington Synge’s play, Riders to the Sea (1927-1929); settings to poems by George Herbert (Five Mystical Songs, 1906-1911) and A. E. Housman’s A Shropshire Lad (On Wenlock Edge (1908-9); Mass in G-Minor (1920-1921); the oratorio Sancta Civitas (1923-1925); Flos Campi, verses from the Song of Solomon (1925); and three of his nine symphonies: A Sea Symphony (1910), Pastoral Symphony (1921), and Sinfonia Antarctica (1949-1951).
Vaughan Williams took his title Dona Nobis Pacem from the end of the sixth part of the medieval Roman Catholic Mass, “Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi Dona nobis pacem,” “Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, Grant us peace.” The first verses of this chant end with a different clause, “Miserere nobis,” “Have mercy upon us,” which is repeated multiple times in the Gregorian chant forms. Interestingly, Vaughan Williams has chosen to emphasize the “Dona nobis pacem” words, thereby secularizing them and removing them somewhat from the
pROGRAM NOTES
by Jack Kligermanoriginal liturgical context. Moreover, the verb “dona” is, grammatically, an imperative, a command, and it repeats as, simply, “dona” at various points throughout the cantata. It comes across less as a supplication than as a demand that peace be granted. Although it is a soprano who first intones the word, the sense of a demand will be emphasized when it is given to the full chorus.
For his text he also uses three poems from Walt Whitman’s collection Drum-Taps, “Beat! Beat! Drums!” (part II of the cantata), “Reconciliation” (part III), and “Dirge for Two Veterans” (part IV), all incorporated in the fourth edition of Leaves of Grass (1867). Vaughan Williams also drew on “The Angel of Death” passage from a speech against the Crimean War, given in the British House of Commons by MP John Bright in 1855, coupled with verses from Jeremiah 8:15-22 (part V); and excerpts from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament (part VI). The cantata ends with the words “dona nobis pacem.”
Vaughan Williams first set Whitman’s “Dirge for Two Veterans” to music between 1911 and 1914. The two veterans are a father and son who have been killed in the same battle during the Civil War, and are being interred together. To this point, Vaughan Williams’s experience of war had been through his reading and imagination. But he did afterwards serve in the ambulance corps in World War I, a time that colored his attitude towards war in general. Vaughan Williams took up the subject once more in 1935, incorporating Whitman’s “Dirge” in the larger work, Dona Nobis Pacem, which he finished in 1936.
In its overall design, the cantata takes the form of an elegy. The angry choral outburst of “Dona nobis pacem” in the first part begins a descent that reaches its lowest emotional point in the “Dirge for Two Veterans,” followed by the “Angel of Death” passage in part V, and the despair of the lines “Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?” But the mourner, the poet, the composer recovers in part VI, which offers hope, unlike the drums and bugles that led to war and death, hope for “Glory to God in the highest, and, on earth peace, good will toward men.” Nevertheless, in the last repetition of “Dona nobis pacem,” there is a counter movement. The soprano’s repetition of the words first glides upwards, but then falls. The wish for peace, so hopeful as chimes ring out in this part, at last disappears in the silence of the final syllable of “pacem.”
luDWig Van beethoVen (1770-1827): symphony no. 5, op. 67, c minoR
Near the end of James Baldwin’s short story “Sonny’s Blues,” Sonny, a young African-American man from Harlem, recovering from heroin addiction, has turned to a jazz piano to save his life: literally. In the last scene, Sonny is playing with a jazz quartet. His brother, the narrator of the story, a straight, uptight high school teacher, has come to a Greenwich Village nightclub at Sonny’s invitation to hear him. At one point in a set, Creole, the group’s bassist and leader, “stepped forward to remind them that what they were playing was the blues. . . . They were not about anything very new. He and his boys up there were keeping it new, at the risk of ruin, destruction, madness, and death, in order to find ways to make us listen.” Towards the end, led into it by Creole, Sonny
takes a solo. Earlier, Creole’s bass had had a dialogue with Sonny. Now “he wanted Sonny to leave the shoreline and strike out for the deep water. He was Sonny’s witness that deep water and drowning were not the same thing. . . . Listen, Creole seemed to be saying, listen. Now these are Sonny’s blues. . . . Creole wasn’t trying any longer to get Sonny in the water. He was wishing him Godspeed. . . . And Sonny went all the way back, he really began with the spare, flat statement of the opening phrase of the song. Then he began to make it his. It was very beautiful because it wasn’t hurried and it was no longer a lament. I seemed to hear with what burning he had made it his, with what burning we had yet to make it ours, how we could cease lamenting. Freedom lurked around us and I understood, at last, that he could help us be free if we would listen, that he would never be free until we did.”
Baldwin, I am sure, did not have Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in mind when he wrote these sentences. But the passage has a design that uncannily mirrors both the symphony and that of Beethoven’s life from October 6, 1802, to December 28, 1808. On the first date, he wrote his famous Heiligenstadt Testament, the letter to his brothers in which he despaired of his growing deafness (he had had symptoms since 1796) and even contemplated suicide: “but what a humiliation when one stood beside me and heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone heard the shepherd singing and again I heard nothing, such incidents brought me to the verge of despair, but little more and I would have put an end to my life--only art it was that withheld me, ah it seemed impossible to leave the world until I had produced all that I felt called upon me to produce. . . .” The latter date marks the premiere of the Fifth Symphony on December 28, 1808, in Vienna, in a concert that included among other works Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony,
PROGRAM NOTES (CONTINUED):
his Piano Concerto No. 4, a movement from his Mass in C Major, and his Choral Fantasy. And what a fertile time were the years in between: his Third and Fourth Symphonies, his Triple Concerto for violin, cello, and piano, his Violin Concerto in D Major, the Coriolan Overture, his three Leonore overtures, the Opus 59 “Rasumovsky” String Quartets, and the Piano Sonata No. 23, the “Appassionata,” and more. Beethoven had saved himself from drowning, as had Sonny, by striking out into deep waters in a creative burst like no other in musical history, before or after.
The opening theme of the Fifth Symphony drags one down. Unfortunately it has been called “Fate knocking at the door”--unfortunate because, when we compare it to the triumphant rise at the conclusion of the fourth movement, which reiterates but overcomes the first, the maladroit label draws us away from the internal struggle of the music itself as it works with the theme in a way no other composer had done before. Indeed, seen in that simplistic way, the design of both Beethoven’s life and this symphony might have been irretrievably lost. Beethoven had “found” this theme sometime in 1804 and 1805, after he had begun the Fifth Symphony but had put it aside to write what would become his Fourth, using it in both the Piano Concerto No. 4 (in a less recognizable way) and the “Appassionata” sonata, where it appears in the bass clef of the first movement. But he had yet to discover its potential. Beethoven, to be sure, was not the first composer to make use of short, repeated themes in his work. Two notable predecessors had begun first movements with themes of varying lengths: Mozart, in his Symphony No. 35, the “Haffner” (1782), and his last three symphonies, numbers 39, 40, and 41, this last, the “Jupiter,” in 1788; and Haydn, in his symphonies number 44, 46, 78, 95, and, especially, in his last symphony, number 104, the “London” (1795).
But neither of them would make use of the rhythm of their themes in the way Beethoven did in every movement of the Fifth. All three composers would follow the themes with a second, more lyrical, and longer part, but in different rhythms. In Beethoven’s case, the lyrical part of the opening theme is built out of the same rhythmic components. Even if the lyricism diverges from the four-beat rhythm, it persists somewhere in the background as he never lets it get far from our awareness. The dominant rhythm is clearly apparent in the second, the theme and variations movement, but notice how the last note in the sequence rises, rather than falls. And at the end of each variation, the four-beat rhythm appears, sometimes, to be sure, in the form of pulsations that can easily be divided by four. In the third, the Scherzo, the lyricism recedes while the rhythm of the opening is foregrounded. In the fourth movement, phrases of four beats, like iambic tetrameter poetry, carry the rhythm in a kind of subliminal echoing, until in the development section the opening phraseology of the theme recurs and we are brought back to the start of the first movement, but in a rising way that triumphs over the downward movement of the opening. This is essentially where Beethoven triumphs over the music itself, sets himself free, and brings to a close what has become, over time, both the signature symphony of his career and a high water mark of early romanticism. Beethoven had come through possible self-destruction and, though the familiarity of the Fifth Symphony’s opening has dulled its impact, risked his all in deep water and succeeded beyond compare.
Playing instruments and singing from an early age, Bass section leader Chip Ritter has been with the Bozeman Symphony Choir for three seasons. An “Army brat,” he grew up around the United States. His musical education started when he picked up his Dad’s trumpet in 4th grade.
Chip’s love of singing developed after seeing his friends in a high school production of “Guy and Dolls”. The very next semester he joined choir and landed a role in “Damn Yankees”. He went on to study voice with Jeanne Garson at San Jose State University in California, earning a bachelor’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology with a minor in Music-Vocal Performance. He continued singing while in graduate school at Michigan State University, where he earned a master’s in Student Affairs Administration.
Chip sang with the San Jose State University Chorale, Concert Choir, and Choraliers, all under the direction of Dr. Charlene Archibeque. He was in the 1994 Choraliers group that won the Grand Prix in Tallinn, Estonia. He also sang with the Michigan State University Chorale under Dr. Charles Smith and the Yale Camerata under Marguerite Brooks.
Chip met his wife, Nicole Rosenleaf Ritter—an alto in the Symphony Choir—while chaperoning the Montana Youth Choir under the direction of his uncle, Paul Ritter, in 1993. They have been singing and traveling together ever since! Chip and Nicole lived in the Czech Republic from 2000 until 2004, when they decided to settle in Montana.
While in Prague, they had their son, Connery. Daughter Emerson was born in Bozeman. They both attend Emily Dickinson School and love music!
When not on the slopes of Bridger Bowl, practicing Aikido at Big Sky Aikido, playing with his kids or making music, Chip works as a Customer Success Coach for Articulate, a leader in eLearning software and services.

v Yes, she has been performing with the orchestra since 1965, two years before the group was named “the Bozeman Symphony.” In fact, Lorna started playing in the Bozeman orchestra five years before she even moved to Bozeman, commuting from Big Timber (and that was before the Interstate was completed)!
Lorna, a native of Sidney Montana, has also played with the Helena Symphony, as well as with every other Montana orchestra at some time in her career. Locally, she has been principal oboist with the
Intermountain Opera, the Montana Ballet, and the Gallatin Chamber Orchestra (during its five-year existence). She has been a regular performer with Spokane’s Royal Fireworks Band for many years; and, for a season, performed as principal oboe with the Gladsaxe Orchestra in Copenhagen, Denmark.
As a founding member, in 1972, of the Bozeman-based Gallatin Woodwind Quintet, she has performed on tours to the Kumamoto area of Japan, to Singapore, and in many venues throughout the American Northwest. She has been involved in many excellent performances in the public schools, presenting concerts through the Bozeman Symphony’s “Far Afield” program with both the GWQ and with OBoze (a double-reed trio of which she also founded).
Lorna has been involved in many chamber music endeavors, including the ‘First Sunday Concert Series’ at St. James and the Nelson-Jacobson Duo (oboe, organ); and she is known as a fine accompanist on piano and organ for both singers and instrumental soloists. She loves traveling and has performed recitals and concerts in many places around the world – including Paris, Copenhagen, and even the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam. She has visited over 35 states and 37 countries. In her appearances as a soloist in front of orchestras, she has performed on oboe, oboe-d’amore, and English horn; and her repertoire has even included the difficult Richard Strauss Oboe Concerto, which she performed with the Bozeman Symphony.
Considering her fine performances on oboe, organ and piano, it is not surprising that she is also a fine teacher of music. Following her musical training at the University of Montana in Missoula (graduating with high honors), she taught instrumental music in the Great Falls Public Schools. She also studied both oboe and organ in Denmark with professors of the Danish Conservatory. Since then, she has devoted many years to the teaching of oboe and piano in her private studio, and the teaching of organ utilizing various church instruments. She served on the Music Faculty at Montana State for many years where she taught Oboe, Organ, Piano, Woodwind Techniques, and Piano Classes, until she retired in May of 2006,
Lorna has been a valued member of our musical community in Bozeman for many years. Her long dedication to the artful presentation of music is much appreciated by those of us who have performed by her side, and have listened to her ‘singing’ oboe over the years.
- Alan Leech, Principal Bassoonist of the Bozeman Symphony
