He has guest conducted a wide variety of ensembles such as the Baltimore Symphony, Washington Sinfonietta, Hopkins Chamber Orchestra, Bismarck-Mandan Symphony, Maryland Classic Youth Chamber Orchestra, and RUCKUS, a contemporary music ensemble at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County where he taught conducting for seven years.

As a cellist Mr. Love has performed a wide array of concertos with orchestras including the North Carolina premiere of Tan Dun’s multi-media work, The Map. In recent seasons he has performed Shostakovich’s Concerto No. 1 with Piedmont Symphony, the Dvořák Concerto with the Frederick Symphony, and concertos by Haydn and Boccherini with the Columbia Summer Strings. His many chamber recitals include work with the Columbia Orchestra Piano Trio featuring Concertmaster Brenda Anna and pianist Nancy Smith, and the Franklin-Love Duo with pianist Rachel Franklin.

A highly respected educator, Mr. Love spends part of each summer conducting at the Baltimore String Orchestra Camp. In his eleven years on the faculty of the Governor’s School of North Carolina he taught Twentieth-Century music, philosophy, and other subjects to academically gifted high school students. He led the McDaniel Orchestra Camp in Westminster, MD for five years and conducted the Repertory Orchestra of the Chesapeake Youth Symphony in Annapolis, MD for four.

Born in Burlington, North Carolina, Love studied violoncello with Ronald Thomas and conducting with Frederik Prausnitz at the Peabody Conservatory. He is a Past President of the Peabody Alumni Association. His website is www.jasonlovemusic.com.

Conductor and cellist Jason Love leads the Columbia Orchestra in his twenty-second year as Music Director, the fourth person to have held that post in its forty-three seasons. Praised for his “intelligent and innovative programming,” the Baltimore Sun has called the orchestra “Howard County’s premier ensemble for instrumental music,” noting that “Love has the musicians playing not only with verve and passion, but with an awareness to enter into the emotional core of the works they perform.” He has received many recognitions including the American Prize for Orchestral Programming, a Peabody Alumni Award for Outstanding Contributions to Music in Maryland, and a “Howie”

MONTEL BUTLER

RYAN LI

G U E S T

A R T I S T SMontel Butler has been a sought after instructor in the Howard County area for the past two years. His students range from elementary school to pre professional adults with a passion for singing in various styles and genres. Several of his students have gone on to major universities and professional programs inside and outside of the United States. Montel works as an instructor for The Young Artists of America during their school year

and summer intensive programs. As his passion for teaching and building young artists is strong, he also maintains a performance career of his own. He has been seen on cruise ships, in various musical theatre productions both locally and nationally, and has performed internationally in various productions.

American soprano Emily Casey has been praised for the clarity, range, and flexibility of her voice as well as her skillful dramatic and acting abilities. She has been noted for her talent in embodying both dramatic and comic characters on the operatic stage and musical theater stage alike. Hailed as a “standout” and praised for her “musical lyricism” in a recent performance as Pamina in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Ms. Casey has performed many leading roles with companies across the United States, Canada, and Italy.

Ryan Li, age 15, currently attends Marriotts Ridge High School in Marriottsville, Maryland. Ryan has had many musical accomplishments. Most recently he was awarded first place in The Columbia Orchestra's 2020 Young Artist Competition Junior Division. When he is not playing violin, Ryan enjoys reading, drawing, solving rubik’s cubes, and most of all swimming competitively year round with the Eagle Swim Team.

Ms. Casey’s operatic engagements have included appearances as Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni), Juliette (Roméo et Juliette), Susannah (Susannah), Hannah Glawari (The Merry Widow), Lauretta (Gianni Schicchi), and La Voix in Poulenc’s vocally and dramatically demanding La Voix Humaine. In addition to her role debut as Gulnara in Verdi’s Il Corsaro in his hometown of Busseto, Italy this summer, she recently appeared as Musetta in La Bohemeand La Zelatrice (Suor Angelica) with Opera Niagara. A winner of several prestigious competitions including 1st place in the Xi’an Silk Road International Music Festival, Ms. Casey has appeared in concert with Maryland Lyric Opera, Piedmont Symphony Orchestra, and Frederick Symphony Orchestra. She has had the pleasure of working with some of the most famous names in opera including Aprile Millo, Richard Bonygne, Marco Gandini, Renée Fleming, and Sherrill Milnes. Ms. Casey looks forward to being back on the stage and will be competing in the Opera Pienza International Vocal Competition in Pienza, Italy this fall.
