on-campus library privileges. His

dad, Leon Burke Jr., a special-

education teacher and eventually, a

job-placement consultant, stressedthe value of education, too.

As a teen, Burke enrolled at

Clayton’s Mark Twain Summer

Institute for gifted youngsters. He

took both science (“I wanted to design

spaceships”) and music. For the

latter, Schatzkamer was his teacher.

Forever after, the musical

backdrop of Burke’s life would be

expanded. Although raised on jazz

recordings by a dad who’d played

saxophone at Sumner High School,

the younger Burke fell in love

with the classics, with Beethoven,

Bach, Stravinsky and others, whose

recordings he bought and whose

scores he rapturously followed.

As a requirement for campgraduation, Schatzkamer made each

student conduct “The Star-Spangled

Banner.”

Burke excelled, to the extent that

Schatzkamer told him: “You have aair for conducting.”

“Thank you,” an energized Burke

replied, then dashed to Washington

University, where he proceeded to

devour the contents of “every book on

orchestral conducting, on conducting

period. I read them from cover to

cover.”

While the Burke family lived in

the city, Leon attended McBride High

School. The family moved not long

before the school was shuttered in themid-‘70s, to unincorporated St. Louis

County. There, Burke went to John

Burroughs School.

With a straight-A average, perfect

SAT exam scores, steady rounds of

piano lessons, classes and a position

as keyboardist for the St. Louis

Symphony Youth Orchestra, Burke

also had a singular accomplishment.

He had composed and orchestrated

his own symphony, which Leonard

Slatkin, then with the youth

orchestra and later, maestro of the

St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, had

him conduct.

Paraguay BeckonsHeady stuff, for sure, but not

enough to keep Burke in St. Louis,

at least not then. Instead, he wentto Oberlin Conservatory of Music

in Ohio and earned a doctorate in

music at University of Kansas. As

a Fulbright Fellow, he studied in

Paraguay.

All this despite warnings, perhaps

to test his resolve, from mentor

Schatzkamer: Don’t go into music. It’s

a terrible life. You don’t make money.

Now, fast-forward to today. Mar-

ried 25 years to Olivia Burke and

with three daughters, Burke has onhis resume, along with the non-prot

University City symphony: conductor

of the Belleville Philharmonic Youth

Orchestra, assistant director of the

St. Louis Symphony Chorus, choir di-rector at Kirkwood’s Eliot Unitarian,

a cover conductor for the St. Louis

Symphony, voice and music teacher

and, not long ago, bass soloist for

Handel’s “Messiah” in Harvard, Mass.

Oh, he also plays piano and organ,

and sings at weddings and funerals.

Is this the “terrible life,” worsened

by dwindling funding sources

and greater need for grants and

donations, that he’d been warned

about? Not at all, laughs Burke,

at which point he’s out the door,

relishing the thought of four hours of

teaching, to be followed by a two-hour

rehearsal.

Maestro Leon Burke III and the University City Symphony Orchestra rehearse
