Festival at a Glance

Welcome to concerts I’ve created to grab you, thrill you. You will watch artists of international stature, up close, crafting each note to perfection in an intimate setting.

Each year I watch hours of videos and talk to musicians I know and trust before inviting new artists into our merry band. Beyond playing exceptionally well, Methow artists must have charisma and the desire to both give and take in a musical setting.

These qualities inspire their colleagues to make music with them on a personal level.

I’ve written before of my thoughts on the current fashion of thematic programs. It is certainly possible to come up with themes that can somehow tie a well-balanced

program together, but more often than not, it seems that the musical selections suffer in order to satisfy the theme. Instead, I take

the playwright’s approach: the experience should touch on all the primary human emo-

tions and it should have an arc.

That leaves me with other, perhaps more subtle ways of connecting the festival

programs, at least in my own mind. On one occasion, only moments after I had been

remarking on the popularity of the cello, a colleague of mine cruelly reminded me that

the piano was far more popular than the cello. That got me thinking about the cello’s lonely place at number three on the popularity scale, behind the piano and violin, and before you

know it, I had invited twice the normal number of pianists and violinists to this year’s Festival.

I’ve always loved the way piano sounds in our barn. This year’s Festival features a lot of it, played by four unique and wonderful pianists, each with a vastly different voice,

in ensembles both large and small.

And the violin! It appears this year in virtuosic solo format, in duos with another violin, viola, or cello, and, of course, sitting atop the traditional large mixed

ensembles we all love.

I’m excited to present this year’s Festival! Thank you so much for allowing me to share this incredible music with you. Your encouragement keeps me going and your

support makes the music happen.

Fellowship Quartet

Each summer the Methow Valley Chamber Music Festival selects members of the Fellowship Quartet, a scholarship program made possible through a generous grant from the Betti Foundation. The quartet members are college students who are majoring in instrumental performance

and planning to become professional musicians. Participating in the Festival gives these students opportunities to perform, teach, hone their skills and learn the technical aspects of concert production. For the two weeks of the Festival, the Fellowship Quartet perform free concerts at local venues around the Methow Val-ley, serving as the Festival’s outreach ensemble. The students take lessons from the Festival’s professional musicians and work backstage during the Centerstage concerts. They also practice their own instructional skills by working with string students at the Pipestone Summer Music Camp.

The 2016 Fellowship Quartet members are students at Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Oberlin, OH. Founded in 1865, Oberlin is the oldest continually operating music conservatory in the United States. This year’s members are Asher Wulfman, violin; Delaney Meyers, violin; Stephen Hart, viola; and Miriam Liske-Doorandish, cello.

Lynette Westendorf, lecturer

Emmy-award winning composer Dr. Lynette Westendorf has been com-posing and performing her original works in creative jazz and modern classical music for over forty years. She has � ve CDs of original works to her credit, and her experience has encompassed works for the recital stage, modern dance, theater, sound installation, documentary � lm,

and audio recordings. From her earliest compositions, she has embraced multi-ple musical styles—from traditional folk, avant-garde jazz, modern classical, free improvisation, popular and eclectic styles. She designed and made a xylophone out of hub caps. Collaborating with the late sculptor Bernard Hosey, she recorded extensively, playing a 300-foot long aeolian harp. She often combines atypical styles into her unique artistic voice and readily seeks out creative collaborators. A successful composition, to Lynette, is one that cannot be described according to established norms.

Among her works are two orchestra commissions—her award-winning � rst symphony was premiered in Idaho in 1984, and the second was commissioned in 2009. Since that time, she has composed many works for choir, voice, piano, chamber ensembles of various instrumentation, and many jazz pieces in smaller form. Her works have been performed throughout the U.S., in England, Spain,

artists

29

Germany, and British Columbia. Throughout her life, Lynette has been a dedicat-ed music teacher. She has maintained a private piano studio since the 1970s—in Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, and Washington. She has taught college level theory, as well as music theory and fundamentals on a community level, and she has coached ensembles in many styles of music. She has presented numerous pre-concert lecture/demos pertaining to modern music and is a sought-after accom-panist.

Lynette is an outdoor enthusiast, rock collector, and a quilter.
