DEAR FRIENDS, I’m proud and happy to welcome you to the first ever quarterly newsletter of the West Michigan Symphony. This is one of many ways we hope to stay connected with you and keep you in the know about our upcoming highlights. In this newsletter, you’ll find information not only about our orchestral concerts, but also about our groundbreaking programs at The Block. I also want to make sure you know about Lunch ‘n’ Learn, which we offer during every Masterworks week. This is my chance to talk extensively with you, in a small and informal setting, about my favorite parts of each program. (Over a bag lunch, of course!) For our opening night concert, I’m especially excited that we’ve been able to juxtapose piano concertos by George Gershwin and Maurice Ravel. Gershwin idolized great masters like Ravel, and he even traveled, as an American in Paris, to ask the Frenchman for composition lessons—Ravel refused. But it was Maurice Ravel who learned from Gershwin—Ravel’s piano concerto is clearly influenced by American jazz, with distinct echoes of Rhapsody in Blue! Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations is the main work on our November program

A particularly thrilling and varied hour at the NLAPW Biennial took place in the Priscilla R. Tyson Cultural Arts Center, a double event. Members’ art works — approximately 70 — were displayed along the walls of the spacious, high-ceilinged, light-filled hall; a few pieces showed Biennial Art Competition prizes.
Saturday, at five o’clock, a concert of performances of four prize-winning compositions was initiated by remarks from Co-Chairs Darlene Yeager-Torre and Bev Goldie; the latter’s post-performance comments transitioned well between works. Attendance was excellent. There were six performers, arrayed in the first row of seats, kids’-recital style. Attesting to the professional quality of each player were the bios printed in the informative, attractive eightpage program. The unfurling of the hour of sound attested to the wide range of musical ideas and experience that is represented in the music category of NLAPW’s three arts.
The savvy Biennial organizers elicited the generosity of the Johnstone Fund for New Music to support the performances. Five professional players were engaged, each of whose skills and experience gave full voice to the composers’ thoughts, with clear musical expressiv
