President’s Letter

I am delighted to welcome you to Thursday

Musical’s 122nd season!

Over the summer our Thursday Musical

programmers have developed our three series,

and we have a fabulous season planned for you.

The opening concert of our Thursday Morning

Artist Series is October 3 at the Bloomington

Center for the Arts. Come early and enjoy

pastries and coffee from our TM silver service at

9:30 AM. The concert begins at 10:30 AM.

Our fall Home Programs will be on October

24 with four homes from which you may choose,

three in the morning and one in the evening.

What a delight to hear music performed in the

intimacy of a home! The Home Programs are

always some of my favorites.

Our Community Concerts are scheduled at

many venues and times across the Twin Cities.

See the Events of Note for times and locations or

check our website thursdaymusical.org for the

most up-to-date program information.

This fall Thursday Musical concerts will be

held in three locations: the Bloomington Center

for the Arts on October 3 and 17, MacPhail

Center for Music’s Antonello Hall on November

21 and at Concordia University’s Buetow Hall

on November 7. Each hall is beautiful and has

good acoustics. Come to the location near you!

At last May’s Annual Meeting, a complete

revision of the Bylaws was passed. The biggest

change implemented was the establishment of an

Executive Council, consisting of the President,

Vice President-Membership, Treasurer,

Secretary, a representative of the programmers

(Monica Murray, our Artist Series Chair) and

Sylvia Wilson, our Student Section Chair. We

met twice over the summer, dealing with the

day-to-day issues of Thursday Musical, as well as

beginning some strategic planning .

I look forward to seeing you at our opening

concert!

Thursday Morning

Artist Series Features New

Format and New Venue

In addition to the Bloomington Center for the

Arts and MacPhail Center for Music, the 2013-

2014 Thursday Morning Artist Series offers a

new beautiful concert venue, the Buetow Music

Auditorium located on the campus of Concordia

University, St. Paul.

With the exception of the opening concert,

programs will feature three performers instead

of four, allowing for more potential performance

time.

The popular Living Concert Notes returns once

again, which includes live, moderated discussion

with the performers about the music they are

performing. Moderators are composer and vocal-

ist Abbie Betinis (December 5) and MPR an-

nouncer Steve Staruch (February 20). Several

concerts will also feature winners from the 2013

Young Artist Scholarship Competition.

On October 3, the opening concert features

new performing member, pianist Min Jung Kim

who was born in South Korea and began piano

lessons at the age of six. A prize winning pianist,

she also has been a featured participant in

several summer workshops and chamber music

festivals, including Vienna International Summer

Music Festival, Spain Tenerife International

Music Festival, and Jeju Island Music Festival.

Recently, she won the third prize (bronze

medalist) at the 2013 Houston Symphony’s Ima

Hogg Competition and her live performance

with the Houston Symphony has been broadcast

nationally on KUHA in Houston. She

recently received her Doctor of Musical Arts

degree from the University of Minnesota where

she studied with Distinguished McKnight

Professor Lydia Artymiw.

Young Artist Program

New this year, all registrations for the Young

Artist Scholarship Competition will be done

online. There will be only one application and

one deadline, January 6, 2014. No late

The term Student Membership has been retired

tion—indicated as an application fee.

Membership

It is with great anticipation that I start my term

as Membership Vice President for Thursday

Musical. I am pleased to have a very capable

and energetic group of people serving on the

Membership Committee with me. Included

are: Sally Deke, Marian Hoffman, Susan Jones,

Mary Kirchner and Ona Pinnsoneault.

Our goals are to increase our membership

and to create ways in which to make Thursday

Musical more visible to our community and

region. There will be more to report over the

course of this coming year. Stay tuned!

We have worked to clarify our current

membership and to encourage past members

to renew. The concerts this past year were

spectacular and the coming season looks

outstanding as well. It is hoped that all of our

wonderful concerts and events can be enjoyed

by more people this coming year.

Thanks to Ona Pinnsoneault we now have

a Directory of Arts Organizations that will be a

resource for us in upcoming marketing of

Thursday Musical. Our plan is to network with

these arts organizations in ways that can be a

benefit to them as well as to Thursday Musical.

It is amazing that this organization is

nearing its 125th year and yet there are still

people in the arts community of our area and

region that do not know about us. Let’s see if

we can change that. I am asking that each and

every current member be an advocate for

Thursday Musical this year. Let friends and

acquaintances know about us! Tell them how

students, performers and audiences come

together to create unique and incredible

experiences. Invite them to attend a concert or

subscribe to the 2013-2014 season. This is a

rather effortless task that can truly make a

difference in so many ways.

Fall Home Programs

Audiences at Thursday Musical’s four Home

Programs on October 24 will be treated to a rich variety of

performances. Performers will include pianists, string and wind

players, vocalists, and even a classical guitarist. The roster

includes long-time and debuting Thursday Musical members.

Clarinetist Ona Pinsonneault will be performing the

Brahms Clarinet Sonata in E-flat Major with pianist James

Kurschner. Both are on the music faculty at Normandale

Community College in Bloomington, MN. Ona says that “the

composition shows Brahms as being mellow, gentle, wistful,

sweet and lyrical but also demanding forceful lion-hearted

loveliness.”

Tenor Jason Hernandez will be singing Vaughan Williams’

Songs of Travel and also works by Franz Schubert in his first

performance for Thursday Musical. He will perform these

same pieces as well as a set of French songs for his Junior recital

at the University of Minnesota on September 24.

Pianist Gail Olszewski will

play piano pieces from the early

20th century by five Finnish

composers: Sibelius, Merikanto,

Palmgren, Madetoja, and Hanni-

kainen. Gail says, “These are

wonderful little descriptive late

Romantic gems - they're reminis-

cent of Grieg's Lyric Pieces or

Mendelssohn's Songs without

Words. They have really interest-

ing harmonies and there's lots of

variety.”

Duo pianists Ann Buran and Lynn Shackelford have been

playing together since the 1970s. According to Ann, “We

continue to have a stimulating and adventurous collaboration.

We will be playing Romance del Plata (a sonatina for four hands)

by the amazing Argentinian composer, Carlos Guastavino.

Melodies, rhythms and passion have propelled him to interna-

tional prominence and we are thrilled to have discovered his

music!”

Mark Bussey, classical guitarist, is president of the

Minnesota Guitar Society. He will be playing selections from a

Bach cello suite, transcribed for guitar, along with works from

the late 20th century by Andrew York. Mark is especially

looking forward to playing on the Home Programs. “While it's

always a thrill to play on the big stage at the Bloomington

Center for the Arts,” Mark says, “classical guitar is really a very

intimate chamber instrument. It's a delight to get to play in a

location where the audience can more directly experience the

nuances of the instrument.”

For complete schedule for the October 24 Home Programs,

please refer to the Events of Note. Since seating is limited,

reservations must be made at thursdaymusical.org or by phone

at 612-333-0313.

have included solo appearances with the National Symphony and Concert Orchestras of Ireland and the

Eastman Philharmonia, and recitals at Ireland’s National Concert Hall and the Eastman School’s

It was a great experience for me to perform

for Baby Blue Arts. Thank you! - Hyun Jin Cho, First Place, College Piano

Hyun graduated this spring from the Carlson School of

Business at the University of Minnesota. She had stopped play-

ing piano for several years, but decided to take lessons again

while at the University. She played Toccata by Debussy for the

taping. The next day she flew home to Korea.

Three first prize winners of Thursday Musical’s 2013

Young Artist Scholarship Competition were videotaped on

July 12 for broadcast on the cable TV program Baby Blue Arts

Presents. The complete 30 minute program was featured on the

Internet in August at babybluearts.com and will be airing on

local television and on local TV stations throughout the

country beginning this fall. The individual performances will

remain on the site indefinitely. The featured students were:

Kristina Meanley, clarinet (First Place College Winds), Sarah

Knott, mezzo-soprano (First Place College Advanced Voice)

and Hyun Jin Cho, piano (First Place College Piano). They

were professionally displayed in three exciting performances,

and each received a free copy of the DVD. The taping was

done at the Schmitt Music Auditorium at their Brooklyn Center

store.

Winning a Thursday Musical Young Artist

Scholarship has allowed me to pursue additional

opportunities and training. In addition to the

scholarship, Thursday Musical offers many performing

opportunities to share music and connect with other

highly talented emerging artists. I am very fortunate to

be recognized by an organization that truly promotes

young talent. - Sarah Knott, First Place, College Advanced Voice

Sarah performed “Voi lo sapete” from Cavalleria Rusticana

by Pietro Mascagni and “Iris Hence Away” from Semele by

George Frideric Handel. She was accompanied by Nanyi

Qiang. She recently moved to the Twin Cities from Duluth and

won First Prize in the 2012 Schubert Club Bruce P. Carlson

Scholarship Competition. At the 2012 Vancouver International

Song Institute in Vancouver, Canada, Ms. Knott was selected

to attend the Theatre of Art Song: Advanced Program Studies

as an emerging artist.

Thursday Musical performing member Laurie Patton heads

this program for Baby Blue Arts. The mission of Baby Blue

Arts is to showcase Minnesota musicians. Done by volunteers,

who give of their time and considerable talents, local artists are

presented in a visually appealing setting with high quality

audio. The session went very well. Laurie Patton and the other

volunteers were wonderful about patiently working with the

students and were impressed with the high level of artistry.

Almost all performances required only one take - the students

were very well prepared and very excited!

I am so thankful and blessed to have received a

scholarship from Thursday Musical which allowed me

to fund my travel expenses to take on a few professional

orchestra auditions. The experiences I gained at these

auditions were as real as it gets and have brought me

steps closer to understanding what it will take for me to

achieve my dream of winning a symphony orchestra

clarinet position. Thank you! - Kristina Meanley, First Place, College Winds

Kristina is a DMA candidate at the University of Minnesota

in Clarinet Performance. She performed three movements of

the Francis Poulenc Clarinet Sonata accompanied by Jerrod

Wendland.
