Third Street families, faculty, staff and friendsopened their arms, and their apartments, to hosta leading Swiss youth orchestra for 11 days lastMay. The 60 members of “il mosaico,” making

their first-ever trip to the U.S., were greeted with greatanticipation by the 30 members of our Philharmoniaorchestra. The Third Street students had been preparingsince the fall to perform two concerts with their Swisscounterparts: one at Washington Irving High Schooland one in White Plains, each with a professionalguest soloist. Another concert by “il mosaico” wouldfeature a Third Street student soloist.

“That first rehearsal at Washington Irving wasremarkable,” said Min Sun Kim, Chair of Third Street’sStrings Department. “It was as if they had been playingtogether for years.” Maestro Hermann Ostendarp, MusicDirector of “il mosaico,” conducted the combinedorchestras. The repertoire—selections from Bizet’s CarmenSuites, Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto No. 3 in B Minorand Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor,Op. 37—was challenging.

“I was a bit nervous to meet so many talented musi-cians,” confessed one Philharmonia member. Anotherobserved that the level of teamwork needed couldseem “daunting.” But three inspiring concerts and onefantastic farewell party later, all proclaimed the inter-national youth exchange a resounding success.

“I had high expectations, but the exchange was evengreater than I expected,” said violin student Camellia

Welcome to the 114th schoolyear! This year began with aspecial sense of renewal andexcitement. At our fall faculty andstaff meeting, I spoke about Third

Street’s dual commitment to access and excellence.Our faculty firmly believes in excellence, and inchallenging all students, regardless of their career aims,to reach their full artistic potential. And, our boardmembers and contributors help to ensure that everychild, regardless of financial circumstances, has accessto high quality music, dance and art instruction. Thesedual goals are an important part of what makes ThirdStreet so special.

Here are some updates and highlights since ourlast issue of the Third Street Beat:

Summer is usually a time for making building repairsand sprucing things up a bit. This summer, the effortswere far more extensive. From May until August, ourbuilding was shrouded in mesh and scaffolding asengineers probed for any possible water damageunderneath the bricks. Fortunately, very little repairwork was required. An upside of the probe was amuch-needed washing. Now, we’re sparkling insideand out!

At our Stowe C. Phelps Annual Student Concert inMay, nearly every area of the School—music, danceand the visual arts—had a moment in the spotlight.We congratulate the students who worked so hardthroughout the year and made Third Street shine.Next May, we will record and issue the concert on CD.

If you’ve never attended a faculty recital, you’rereally missing something special. Third Street’s facultymembers are some of New York City’s top performingartists. This year, we chose a new recital series name—Artist Performance Series—to better communicateour faculty’s exceptional talent to the public.

I believe a not-for-profit organization can only beas strong and effective as its board. We are delightedto welcome two new board members since the lastedition of this newsletter: Jeannie Park and RoniKohen-Lemle. You can read more about them onpage 3.

There’s a lot to look forward to this year and I amthrilled that you are a part of the Third Street family.

Withall best wishes,

ADULT NEW HORIZONS BAND MEMBERS shared a rehearsal with middle school beginners from Technology, Arts,and Sciences Studio, one of our partner public schools, at Third Street in March 2008. Jimmy Valentino (secondfrom right, front) had a great time with his fellow clarinet students. “Music is a great equalizer,” he said. “They canhelp me just as much as I can help them. It’s not about ‘Am I young, am I old, am I black, am I white,’ whatever.We are all looking for a “C” and we need to find that note at about the same time. When we do, that’s a high five.”

A Night to Remember

It wasn’t summer yet, but summerwas in the air. Our graduating highschool seniors took

their minds away fromcaps and gowns and plans for the futureto share one last evening as Third Streetstudents with their teachers, familiesand friends. The Anna-Maria KellenAuditorium was buzzing with excitement. Video cameras werebeing adjusted on tripods. Youngsiblings were settling into theirseats on the bleachers beside parents and grandparents. Seniorstudents dressed in recital-wearwere milling about with nervousness, sharing happyglances with family and friends, or wearing a pensive,far-away look while inwardly running through their music or dance steps.

It was June 10, 2008: Senior Night at Third Street. But itwas unlike any other from the past. More family and friendswere present than ever before. Some seniors asked to beadded to the program at the last minute, realizing that something special was about to happen. And as anticipated,the program of music and dance was wonderful and varied,with music ranging from voice to violin, guitar, drums andbeyond, and dance including tap and ballet. But it was what took place in between each performance that touchedeveryone’s hearts.

As the audience looked on, each seniorreceived a Third Street certificate, signed and

presented by Executive Director Lee Koonce andAssociate Director Mary Lou Francis. And then, joinedonstage by their teacher(s) and family members, they posedfor a photograph—a souvenir filled with a lifetime of memoriesat Third Street.

Although Third Street is 114 years old, a new traditionbegan that night. The joy was palpable and—at least amongthe grown-ups—there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was anight to remember. Forever.

IF YOU ARE GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEARplease sign up for Senior Night 2009 by contacting

Daniel Blakemore (212-777-3240, ext. 126 or dblakemore@thirdstreetmusicschool.org). The Third Street Senior Book,

a new publication launched last year, will include one page oneach student, including a photograph with his/her Third Streetteacher(s), a brief profile, a note about the student’s future

plans and a quote to be remembered by.

JAZZA

few years ago, “jazz at Third Street” was a handfulof wind and brass students who came intermittentlyto a Thursday Jazz Wind Workshop and who playedjazz songs and tried a little improvising at once-in-

a-blue-moon Blue Winds concerts. From these seeds, aflourishing jazz program has grown.

Last year 13 students enrolled in the School’s twoweekly jazz ensembles, and at the now twice-yearlyBlue Winds concerts. We had student pianists, guitarists,bassists and drummers backing up flutists, trumpeters,saxophonists and clarinetists, and even a violinist or two.

“Third Street jazz is jumping,” says Micah Killion, atrumpet teacher who coordinates the woodwind, brassand percussion departments. “Third Street students canget the full spectrum of the jazz experience” from les-sons to ensemble playing to performance coaching andtraining to playing gigs. As a result, Third Street studentjazz trios have played background music at severalSchool functions this past year.

The Tuesday evening and Saturday afternoon ensemblesare the heart of Third Street jazz, led, respectively, bypianist Neal Kirkwood and guitarist Scott Anderson.Both teachers work with the students on song forms,sight-reading, ear training, rhythm and improvisation,but they also keep their sessions informal so the studentsfeel the fun and freedom of jazz. In just two years, theensembles have evolved distinct styles: the Tuesday grouphas a big band sound; and the Saturday group has a cooljazz style—members wear all black in performance.

The Thursday Jazz Wind Workshop is continuing thisyear, led by Killion and saxophonist Loren Stillman, nowretooled as “farm team,” in Killion’s words, preparingyounger players to join our jazz ensembles.

Jazz at Third Street is growing. We have 9 studentsreturning and 6 students just getting started. For moreinformation, contact the Registration Office, 212-777-3240, ext. 130.

Help Us Find the Missing Score

Some twenty years ago, Avra Petrides, daughter of pioneering woman conductorFrédérique Petrides, contributed several boxes of books and music to Third Street. By mistake, she included David Diamond’s Concerto for Chamber Orchestra, a precious manuscript that had been part of her mother’slibrary and that she had intended to donate to a museum. If you have this missing score or know of its

whereabouts, please call 212-777-3240, ext. 126. We would like to return it to its rightful owner. Thank you.

Viola students had a special treat lastMarch: a master class led by ThirdStreet’s own alumnus, Masumi PerRostad. A Juilliard graduate and a

member of the acclaimed Pacifica Quartet,Masumi has been heralded as headed for“the big career” by New York Magazine. Itall started at Third Street, where he was astudent from age 3 through high schoolgraduation. “Third Street Music SchoolSettlement was like a second home forme,” he writes on the quartet’s Web site.“[It] was like a family. My brother [cellistEgil Rostad] and I would go there everySaturday and spend the entire day, andthen we’d go once a weekfor lessons.”

Masumi Per Rostad is the recipient of Third Street’sRising Star Award at thisyear’s AnniversaryLuncheon.

Music & MovementB Y N A N C Y M O R G A N

In early childhood classrooms across Manhattan’s LowerEast Side, children are singing, dancing and playing percussion and recorder through Third Street’s Music & Movement classes, a component of our School

Partnership Program. The program’s coordinator and master teacher is Monika Linkweiler. Monika teaches 26classes per week and trains Third Street’s early childhoodmusic instructors in a method drawn from the teachings of Carl Orff. (Back in the late 1950s, Third Street was thefirst music school in the U.S. to employ Kodály and Orffmusical education methods.) Orff used songs, games, poemsand dances as the basic materials of music education, teaching

children to accompany themselves on instruments like metalglockenspiels and wooden xylophones. He believed thatmusic, like language, should be taught by hearing and makingit first, then by reading and writing it later.

Monika, dressed in a colorful t-shirt and jeans, says thatshe first came to Third Street in 1976 to meet her husbandafter his opera rehearsals in the auditorium. “I was a flightattendant back then and used to wear a raccoon fur coatand smoke cigarettes in the lobby.” Monika stopped flyingwhen her son, Johann, was born. (She had long since quitsmoking and wearing fur!) Since she had loved singing inopera choruses near her home town of Vlaubeuren, Germany,she was determined that Johann should study music. Sheenrolled him at the age of three in an early childhood classat the Bloomingdale House of Music and happened to pickup a flyer there advertising an Orff teacher training class.Taking that class changed her life. In September of 1985,Monika was hired to teach three Music & Movement classesat Third Street. She has been here ever since.

Watching Monika and her colleagues teach is a joy. Their students, many of whom struggle to meet the academicdemands of their schools, relish their 45 minutes of musicmaking. Every year, Monika receives hundreds of handmadecards from appreciative students. One of her favorites said“Monika, you are the beast!”

The most rewarding aspect of Monika’s work is seeingMusic & Movement become the catalyst that prompts children to join Third Street’s free after-school program forpublic school students. Veronica Parrales, for example, startedout in Music & Movement, graduated from Third Street’safter-school program, earned a Master’s degree at HunterCollege and now teaches cello, violin and piano in ThirdStreet’s partner schools. The cycle continues.

Nancy Morgan is Third Street’s Director of School and CommunityPartnerships.

Philharmonia and “il mosaico” continued from cover

Hartman. “I was surprised at how well our groups interacted,” said Mei-LingRoberts. “It turned out that they’re just like us,” said Dahlia Amade, “except theylive a couple thousand miles away in a place that is very famous for chocolate!”

Third Street’s Sinfonia orchestra, conducted by Steven Rochen, opened the concert at Washington Irving High School. Guest violinist Nurit Pacht also performed at that venue. At the Community Unitarian Church in White Plains,guest pianist Adam Kent gave a masterful performance. Third Street student soloistLeo Singer played a movement from Shostakovich’s demanding Cello ConcertoNo. 1, Op. 107 both there and at St. Mark’s Church-in-the-Bowery.

A tour highlight was hearing violinist Sarah Chang and the Orpheus ChamberOrchestra perform at Carnegie Hall. For the Swiss and for several Philharmoniamembers, it was their first time to see the world-famous venue.

By the time “il mosaico” left, fast friendships had been forged. It was hard to say good-bye, but the young musicians have continued their friendships online. A concert tour to Switzerland is now number one on Philharmonia’s wish list!

Congratulations! We salute all those who, thanks to their talent, care, generosity and tireless efforts, madethis international exchange possible. Special thanks to “il mosaico” tour patrons Ambassador ChristophBubb, Consul General of Switzerland in New York, and Maestro David Zinman; to Anna Maria Baeza(woodwinds faculty), Ted White, “il mosaico” hosts, the farewell party hosts, Two Boots Pizza and WholeFoods. Extra special thanks to Min Sun Kim and Sibylle Johner for their extraordinary leadership.

Grown-Ups Night Out!

This fund-raiser, planned by and produced for parents andfamilies of Third Street’s preschool programs, was a hugesuccess by all accounts. Grown-Ups Night Out, held onApril 17, 2008, included an auction and raffle, which

grossed more than $18,000! Proceeds from the event providedsupport for tuition assistance for families in need, as well asprofessional development for staff, consultants for specialchild development needs and materials to help enrich theschool curriculum. One hundred lots were auctioned off thatnight from Yankees tickets to a Ferragamo handbag, and theraffle prize was a state-of-the-art iPhone. The food, music,conversation, and even the “bidding wars,” were fabulous!And that’s not all— the kids in the babysitting rooms had ablast, to quote one child who enjoyed “playing at schoolwhen it’s dark out!” It took more than 40 parent volunteers,and Joelle Duffy and Heidi DeRuiter as GNO Co-Chairs, toplan and produce this event, and we thank them all for theirtime, effort, ingenuity and endless enthusiasm. Planning forthis year’s Grown-Ups Night Out, set for April 30, 2009,begins this fall. Please contact Karen J. Booth, Director ofPreschool Programs, at 212-777-3240, ext. 116, if you areinterested in volunteering or would like to learn more aboutdonating items to the auction.

The Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, which is closing in 2009, has been astaunch supporter of Third Street for more than a quarter century. The Trustawarded Third Street two generous $250,000 challenge grants to ensure that itssupport continues in perpetuity. We met the first challenge—a grant to helpestablish the Barbara E. Field Chamber Music Fund—within less than a year.

Now, we are asking for your help to meet the second $250,000 challenge.No donation is too small. And because the Cary Trust will match your gift dollar fordollar, your gift is worth double to Third Street! Funds will go to our endowment insupport of the general purposes of the School.

As we go to press, we have identified more than 85% of the goal, and must raise anadditional $35,000 to meet the challenge.

Please consider making a special contribution today—over and above your annualgiving—to help secure Third Street’s future. Contributions by check and credit card arewelcome, as are gifts of securities. Please use the enclosed remittance envelope(write “Cary Challenge” inside) or call the Development Office at 212-777-3240,ext. 126 for more information. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
