Santa Barbara Junior Orchestra

Welcome to the Santa Barbara Junior Orchestra!

Hello Friends,

What a marvelous year we have experienced! The addition of woodwinds and brass to the Junior Strings has expanded our sound and range to new heights. For our novice players, this new sound was a grand experience as well as being in an ensemble for the first time. Our more seasoned students have been great with helping them adjust to their new surroundings. All the students are such wonderful people. They demonstrate this character by sharing their knowledge with each other and by working together. It's a delight to watch this interaction.

Our program selections of classical music, pop tunes and chamber ensembles keep our students active and engaged. They always put forth their best effort. You can see the gleam in their eyes and the excitement in their faces when Team JO unifies their sound into one huge instrument.

Music has a way of bringing people together without speaking. When you hear a song, when you sing a song, one tends to smile. It places you in a better state of mind. To be a member of the community that helps expand the knowledge and special qualities of music is a privilege. Thank you for allowing me to share the subject that gives me continued joy.

Marisa McLeod Conductor, Junior Orchestra

Bienvenido a la Santa Barbara Orquesta Juvenil!

Hola Amigos,

Que año tan maravilloso hemos experimentado. Con la adición de instrumentos de viento y bronce al grupo de Junior Strings ha ampliado nuestro sonido y alcance a nuevas alturas. Para nuestros miembros, este nuevo sonido fue una gran experiencia, igual que siendo parte de un conjunto por primera vez. Nuestros estudiantes más avanzados han hecho un buen trabajo ayudando a los demás ajustarse sus nuevos alrededores. Todos los estudiantes son personas tan maravillosas. Ellos han demostrado este carácter, compartiendo su conocimiento con cada uno y trabajando juntos. Es un placer ver esta interacción.

Nuestra selección de programa, que incluye música clásica, melodías pop y conjunto de cámara, mantiene nuestros estudiantes activos e involucrados. Ellos siempre aportan su mejor esfuerzo. Pueden mirar el brillo en sus ojos y la emoción en sus rostros

La música tiene una manera de unir a las personas sin hablar. Cuando escuchas una canción, cuando cantas una canción, uno tiende a sonreír, lo coloca en un mejor estado de ánimo. Para ser un miembro de la comunidad que ayuda a ampliar el conocimiento y las cualidades especiales de la música es un privilegio. Gracias por permitirme compartir el tema que me da alegría que continua.

Marisa McLeod Conductor, Junior Orquesta

About Marisa McLeod Marisa McLeod, a native of Newark, New Jersey, began her studies of the violin at the age of 3. She received her bachelor of music degree at Montclair State University, and her master of music degree from the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music. She studied the Suzuki method and received her Suzuki certification from the Eastman School under Anastasia Jempelis. She has continued her Suzuki studies with Cathryn Lee, Edmund Sprunger, Sherry Cadow, Martha Shackford, and Mark Bjork. She was a member of the Anderson String Quartet for 10 years. She has studied the art of string quartet playing with the Cleveland Quartet with Peter Salaff as her private teacher, Juilliard String Quartet, American String Quartet, and Le Quatuor de Deux Monde, in Fontaineblau, France. Members of the Anderson Quartet were artists in residence and members of the music faculty at California State University, Los Angeles. She has also performed and recorded for such artists as Snoop Dog, Smokey Robinson, En Vogue, Moesha, Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind and Fire, and many others.

She presently performs with the California Philharmonic, Santa Barbara Symphony, and various orchestras in Southern California. She has taught strings for the Arts Council of Conejo Valley. She is presently a Suzuki and strings instructor at the Viewpoint School in Calabasas and adjunct professor at Westmont College. She also maintains private violin and viola studios in South Pasadena, Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, and Santa Barbara. For Marisa, performance is sustenance. She relishes the interdependence between art, the artist, and the audience. And as a teacher and coach, she finds herself in the enviable position of being able to pass on to others the how-to of creating this loving relationship.

Santa Barbara Youth Symphony

Welcome to the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony!

What a wonderful day to celebrate another great year!

Today is a celebration for the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony, and for music. As you sit in the beautiful Lobero Theatre, you might have already spent some time in front of the Theatre at the “Hands-On” event. Perhaps you attended the high tea honoring many of the Youth Symphony’s celebrated heroes, heard your musician practicing today, or hummed the tunes from yesterday’s Junior Orchestra concert.

Not every concert-goer has this much musical preparation for a concert! I hope today’s music will leave you with an additional musical taste that you can take with you. Surely you will leave with an added amount of respect for our wonderful musicians and realize how much preparation by staff and volunteers goes into such an event.

Our SBYS seniors, playing their final concert, have been practicing and performing for years. Today might be an important concert for them, but most will be playing in a new ensemble, maybe in a new location, within a couple of months. Our fine staff at the Santa Barbara Symphony is already working on next year’s program, finding new collaborations and getting ready for the next wave of musicians readying themselves for the SBYS experience.

Year-end concerts leave me feeling somewhat sad. It feels like the bittersweetness of finishing the last page of a great book. But the beauty of life as a musician or as a music lover, is that the next concert, the next song, the next season, is already being prepared. All are just waiting for someone to push the play button.

Thank you for being part of the SBYS family!

Andy Radford, Santa Barbara Youth Symphony Music Director

Bienvenidos a la Santa Bárbara Sinfónica Juvenil!

Qué día maravilloso para celebrar otro gran año!

Hoy es una celebración de la la Santa Barbara Youth Symphony , y para la música. Al sentarse en el hermoso Lobero Theater, es posible que ya haya pasado algún tiempo en frente del Teatro en el evento "Hands-On". Tal vez asistió a la merienda en honor a muchos de los héroes de Youth Symphony , oyó la práctica de su músico, o tarareaba las canciones del concierto de la Junior Orchestra de ayer.

No todos los que asisten conciertos tiene esta gran preparación musical para un concierto! Espero que la música de hoy le dejará con un gusto musical adicional que se puede llevar con usted.

Seguramente usted saldrá con una cantidad adicional de respeto a nuestros maravillosos músicos y darse cuenta de la cantidad de preparación del personal y los voluntarios de este evento.

Nuestros estudiantes de SBYS que están en su último año de terminar la preparatoria, tocando su último concierto, han estado practicando y presentando desde hace años. Hoy puede ser un concierto importante para ellos, pero más importante será tocar en un nuevo conjunto, tal vez en una nueva ubicación, dentro de un par de meses. Nuestro fabulosa personal de la Santa Barbara Symphony ya está trabajando en el programa del próximo año,encontrando nuevas colaboraciones y preparándose para la siguiente ola de músicos preparando para la experiencia SBYS.

Conciertos de fin de año me dejan sintiendo un poco triste. Se siente como el agridulce de término de la última página de un gran libro. Pero la belleza de la vida como músico o de un amante de la música, es que el siguiente concierto, la siguiente canción, la siguiente temporada, se está ya preparando. Todos están esperando para que alguien presione el botón de tocar.

Gracias por ser parte de la familia de la SBYS!
