welcome!
It is my honor to serve
as President of the
SLO Symphony Board
of Directors for the
2020-21 season.
We started this year with exciting plans for
change and growth with the hiring of our
new Executive Director, Anna James Miller.
But, like everyone, we were soon faced
with the constraints of COVID-19.
Though these are difficult times, we are
determined to stay focused on one of the
core principles of the SLO Symphony, to
“contribute to the cultural vitality of the
Central Coast community”!
Things may look different, and we may not
be able to be together physically, but
current challenges have brought out the
best in our staff, musicians and
volunteers. Now, more than ever, we are
committed to continue the legacy of
providing great music and culture for
everyone.
The SLO Symphony has been an integral
part of this community for 60 years. The
work of the Symphony has always been a
collective effort, and this year is no
exception.
I want to thank our conductor Andrew
Sewell, members of the orchestra, staff,
committee volunteers and my fellow
board members, especially Mark Sherman,
our past board President.
I would also like to thank our
supporters. We could not carry out our
mission if it were not for the ongoing
generosity of our donors, sponsors and
underwriters.
I thank you for your ongoing trust and
support as we navigate this season
together and experience the music of the
San Luis Obispo Symphony in new ways.
Best wishes and continued health and well
being,
Jill LeMieux
President
SLO Symphony Board of Directors

Violin Gilles Apap
gilles apap Described by Yehudi Menuhin as ’’A true violinist of
the 21st century’’, Gilles is known for his virtuosity,
unique approach to music and the skill to bring joy
to every concert hall. He delivers distinctive
performances of the standard classical repertoire
combined with genres such as jazz and folk from
around the world and the result is unique
programming merging the borderlines between
musical styles.
Born in Algeria to a French family, Gilles started
playing music at an early age and began his studies
in France. Later, he moved to America and
continued his studies at the Curtis Institute,
choosing to settle in California. Very early in his
career he decided to move away from the
constraints of the international music industry,
looking for his own way beyond the conventions
and expectations related to a commercial career.
As a soloist Gilles has performed with orchestras
such as Leipzig Gewandhaus, San Francisco and
Vancouver Symphony, Hamburg Philharmonic,
Boston Philharmonic, Berliner Symphoniker,
Russian National Philharmonic, Israel
Philharmonic, often play directing as well as
performing an extensive list of violin concertos.
With his quartet ‘The Colors of Invention’ (violin,
accordion, double bass and cimbalom), Gilles
presents chamber music with fusion of classical
pieces from Vivaldi, Ravel and Bartok with
traditional folk tunes. The Ethno Jazz band
‘Meduoteran’ (violin, accordion and saz) is one of
the most recent projects in which Gilles is
involved, performing in various Jazz and folk
festivals around Europe. ‘The Transylvanian
Mountain Boys’ is another highly successful
crossover band formed by Gilles, together they
perform across the globe and have released 3
CDs for Sony Classical. Gilles was taking the
artistic leadership position at the Nordic Chamber
Orchestra until the 2017/2018 season.
Gilles has also collaborated with the Celtic fiddler
Kevin Burke, Indian violinist Dr. L. Subramanian,
gypsy violinist Roby Lakatos, jazz violinist Didier
Lockwood and contemporary flamenco dancer
Belen Maya, amongst others.
Alongside performance, Gilles is very involved in
education with his teaching philosophy
connecting strongly with cultural diversity and the
freedom of interpretation through improvisation
which in August Ariana Todes, former editor of
The Strad, reflected in an interview highlighting
these eclectic aspects of his career.
After participating in the International Menuhin
Competition in 1985, Gilles established a lifelong
relationship with Yehudi Menuhin. Together they
worked on Gilles’ legendary cadenza of Mozart’s
Third Violin Concerto, which was filmed and
directed by Bruno Monsaingeon. Known for his
documentaries about Gould, Richter and Oistrakh,
Monsaingeon directed two further films about
Gilles Apap and his approach to music, and
declared that the violinist’s “art represents music
in its greatest possible purity.”

executive director
Anna James Miller is
a former professional ballet
dancer and dance teacher
with over a decade of
performing arts leadership
experience.
The child of four-time
Grammy Award-winning
cellist and composer Eugene Friesen, music has
played a major role in their life since childhood.
Originally from the East Coast, Anna moved to the
Seattle area in 2000 and worked for organizations
including Seattle Opera, Northwest Chamber
Orchestra, Spectrum Dance Theatre, Icicle Arts,
Icicle Creek Theatre Festival, Federal Way
Symphony, Auburn Symphony, and Bremerton
Symphony. Most recently, Anna worked in a
communications role with Kitsap Community
Foundation, organizing a regional day of giving
which raised $2.2M for 337 local nonprofits, and
assisting with the launch of a COVID-19
community relief fund and resource directory.
With a deep passion for education as well as the
arts, Anna taught funding and grant writing for
nonprofits at Olympic College’s Business and
Technology Division and served as a teaching
assistant for graduate and PhD courses in
Gonzaga University’s School of Leadership Studies.
They hold a Bachelor of Arts in arts administration
from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, a
Master of Arts in organizational leadership from
Gonzaga University, and professional certificates in
advanced fundraising and grant and proposal
writing.
In 2020, Anna co-founded the Central Coast
Coalition of Arts Leaders to strengthen the local
arts community in response to the COVID-19
crisis.
Anna and their visual artist spouse Bryan, along
with their young daughter Cassidy, are excited to
be in San Luis Obispo. They are thrilled to partner
with Maestro Andrew Sewell and take the SLO
Symphony to new heights, and bring their arts
advocacy to aid SLO County’s cultural recovery
during this economically uncertain time.

music director
Maestro Andrew Sewell
enters his fourth season as
music director of the San
Luis Obispo Symphony and
twenty-first season with the
Wisconsin Chamber
Orchestra, having had long
tenures with the Wichita,
Toledo and Mansfield, Ohio
Symphonies.
Known for his innovative programming and knack
for discovering new talent, Sewell is a highly skilled
orchestra builder with a wide knowledge and range
of repertoire.
In demand as a guest conductor, he has led the
Toronto, Detroit, Milwaukee, Columbus, Syracuse,
Illinois, Monterey, Gulf Coast and Eugene Symphony
Orchestras, as well as the New Zealand Symphony
Orchestra, Auckland Philharmonia, Christchurch
Symphony, National Symphony of Mexico, Kyushu
Symphony (Japan), City Chamber Orchestra of Hong
Kong, OK Mozart Festival, WI Peninsula Music
Festival and Masterworks Festivals in the US and
London.
In 2019, Maestro Sewell returned to guest conduct

season.
A native of New Zealand, Maestro Sewell received his
music training on the violin, piano and cornet, and
began conducting at age 16. Six years later, he made
his professional opera debut with the Mercury Opera
and the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra. Winning
the Australian Guarantee Corporation’s Young
Achiever’s Award allowed him to further his studies
abroad. Sewell holds a Master of Music degree with
Honors in Conducting from the University of
Michigan. While not conducting, he enjoys cycling
and other outdoor pursuits and visiting family in
New Zealand. He and his wife, Mary have three
grown children and reside in Madison, Wisconsin.
Over the years he has been credited with numerous

Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestra, the 2005 Best
