FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE

Recently while overseas in Jordan to sing the baritone solo in Orffrsquos Carmina Burana I had the privilege of getting to know an American family now living in Amman One night after a rehearsal we shared a bottle of wine plenty of laughs and countless stories including how the 911 attacks altered their lives forever

The mother of the family was a successful high-level investment banker working only a street away from the World Trade Center in September 2001 She literally felt the planes hit She saw the smoke clouds forming She watched people gasping for air while hanging out skyscraper windows Elevators closed she ran down flights of stairs to people clotting the streets She tripped over and screamed with colleagues friends and strangers

REMEMBERING 911

She walked home to Brooklyn as many did that day crossing the Brooklyn Bridge on foot In a surreal moment she realized that she had run walked cried and worried mdash on adrenaline mdash for literally an entire day

Upon arriving home in the dark she was exhausted in a way she had never experienced She was greeted by a simple but beautiful sense of connectedness caring and love Her answering machine was entirely full with messages like ldquoAre you okayrdquo ldquoPlease callrdquo ldquoI love yourdquo and one of the most powerful ldquoI am still alive Are yourdquo Messages had poured in from family friends colleagueshellip from everyone Standing in an apartment alone and in the dark she and so many others were reminded that they were loved

Through a teary-eyed cloud I shared my 911 story as well and we experienced a visceral and emotional connection rooted in the national crisis forever etched in our respective memories As often happens making music together had created a connectedness and closeness that allowed us to share in a mutual vulnerability

I will forever remember my time in Jordan the beautiful set of performances of Carmina Burana vulnerable and beautiful new friends and the nearly 14-year anniversary remembrance of 911

Share your 911 and musical remembrance experiences with us at infoclassicalmusicindyorg

FOOD AND WINE

After the cold dark days of winter the light of summer brings with it an air of celebration Farmersrsquo markets dot the city with displays of fresh fruits vegetables and flowers our gardens are alive with color the Monon Trail is packed with people of all walks of life and our neighborhoods are filled with the smell of outdoor cooking The city is in full bloom with festivals outdoor concerts and more that are usually accompanied by vast and tempting food choices that arenrsquot always healthy

Some events like the CMI audience favorite Symphony on the Prairie allow you to bring your own food a perfect opportunity to concoct your own delicious and healthy eats For a healthier version of the cheese and wine picnic spread try topping healthy crackers like Maryrsquos Gone Crackers (gluten-free) with organic raw cheese or locally-made Capriole goat cheese from Greenville Indiana For a dairy-free option try hummus or other bean dip Consider imbibing with an organic wine that is free from the heavy pesticides Many of these varieties are also sulfite-free and all are readily available around town Complete your concert spread with fruit purchased from your local farmersrsquo market

For other outdoor venues with plentiful (but unhealthy) food options consider bringing body-fueling snacks in a sealable bag or reusable container like a smoothie mix that can easily be added to a water bottle or a homemade trail mix with nuts seeds dark chocolate pieces banana chips goji berries coconut flakes and other goodies Dates stuffed with peanut butter are another healthy delicious filling and easy-to-pack snack

When I need to eat meals on the go or know Irsquom going to a place that serves cuisine Irsquod rather not eat I pack quinoa salads green salads and vegetarian wraps that keep well in a cooler in my car for quite some time Whether you are a merrymaker at one of the many festivals and concerts this summer or simply a person with a hectic lifestyle you can be healthy on the go

PACK IT UP BEFORE YOU GO-GO

When I take a break from the daily hustle I turn to food and music Since most of what I cook comes from a long line of Spaniards here are three Spanish musical favorites yoursquoll find me swaying to as I cook

ldquoBaila Me [Dance for me]rdquo Gipsy KingsA staple in my Abuelitorsquos [Grandfatherrsquos] kitchen this song is something I remember dancing to with family from an early age It is a sure-fire hit for revving up your appetite and starting any dinner party off right

ldquoEste Seu Olhar [Your Eyes]rdquo performed by Nara LeatildeoOkay so itrsquos Brazilian but count on this recording by the Musa da Bossa Nova [Muse of the Bossa Nova] to set the tone for a romantic dine-in night

Joaquin Rodrigorsquos Concierto de AranjuezThe energy with which the guitar stands on its own against full orchestra in the first movement the mystifyingly beautiful melody of the Adagio and the exemplification of how music sheds light during the political upheaval (as was the case in Spain when this renowned work was conceived) make it one of my favorite pieces of all time

While you listen you can also try your hand at my recipe for Tortilla Espantildeola Find this recipe and more at wwwindyfoodmaventumblrcom Buen provecho [bon appetite] and happy listening

PAIRINGS

PAIRING WINE AND MUSIC

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra presentsVivaldirsquos The Four SeasonsJuly 16 at Holliday Park July 17 amp 18 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer Born in Venice Vivaldi is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers The Four Seasons is arguably his most beloved and celebrated composition

Fun Fact Antonio Vivaldi was a victim of identity theft Nicolas Cheacutedeville another lesser-known composer sold his own works claiming that they were original Vivaldi compositions To this day ldquoIl Pastor Fidordquo is regularly and wrongly attributed to Vivaldi

Hear the Music Find ldquoAcademy of St Martin in the Fields with Violinist Julia Fischerrdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Not to tip my hand here but whenever the other Charles (CMIrsquos CEO) gives me a chance to plug an Italian wine I am going to take that chance Why Because Italian wine doesnrsquot seem to get the respect that those from France or Spain do which is a shame Itrsquos perfect for any season full of indigenous varietals not found anywhere else and usually cheaper And for some reason those who say ldquoI donrsquot like white winerdquo always seem to change their tune when it comes to Italian whites Therefore I think you should try Tenuta Ibidinirsquos 2012 Insolia from Sicily Itrsquos a great mix of acidity citrus grass and herbs (yes all those things) and it rings up at about $14 a bottle I picked up my last one at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe This wine recently achieved a landslide win in a blind tasting with our wine group The Circle City Sippers Pair with a light seafood dish or pasta with a white sauce

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra presents

Movie Music of John WilliamsJuly 23 24 25 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer John Williams is one of the most famous and prolific living composers His work focuses predominantly on film scores and his music is as eclectic as the films on which he has collaborated Indiana Jones Star Wars Jaws Jurassic Park Close Encounters of the Third Kind Superman and ET to name a few

Fun Fact Drafted in 1952 Williams spent three years conducting and arranging music for the US Air Force Band He also worked as a pianist in jazz clubs and studios most notably for Henry Mancini

Hear the Music Find ldquoThe Best Music of John Williams Part Onerdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Seeking a wine that soars like a Williams score but one you can drink under the summer heat on the Prairie Bubbly it is Itrsquos getting hard to find value Champagne with everyone catching on that Prosecco and Cava are in many cases just as good as Champagne but values abound if yoursquore willing to spend around $20 I would suggest a sparkling wine made in the traditional method from of all places New Mexico Gruet Blanc de Noirs (or the Gruet Roseacute or the Sauvage) is quickly becoming recognized as the top flight sparkling wine The price has gone up a few dollars in the past few years due to its popularity but it is still worth it Available at just about any locally owned wine shop (and really thatrsquos where you need to be buying your wine people)

Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra presentsConduct UsAugust 5 at City Market Plaza

The Event Have you ever wanted to conduct professional musicians Join the Chamber Orchestra at City Market for your chance to be the Maestro and interact with the ICOrsquos musicians

Wine Light nimble with enough depth to make you contemplate what yoursquore drinking is what you need to pair with a fun event like this If yoursquore conducting for the first time you might want a sip of something to loosen up A Sauvignon Blanc is a natural choice but let me direct you instead to another varietal that drinks like a Sauvignon Blanc (and which many of us in a blind tasting swore was one) the 2013 Cox Colombard from the Languedoc in France Colombard is a wine that is becoming more well-known as a single varietal bottling as opposed to its earlier uses as a blending grape or to distill to make Cognac This one is zippy with notes of passion fruit and grapefruit zest Perfect for drinking by itself on a summer patio and itrsquos only $13 at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe

Ensemble Music Society presents

Kelemen QuartetOctober 20 at Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center

The Quartet Violinist Barnabas Kelemen founded the quartet with his wife and two musician friends He studied with the late virtuoso violinist Isaac Stern The group won the prestigious Gramophone Award for Best Chamber Music CD of 2013

Fun Fact Barnabas Kelemen from Hungary talks openly about the importance of honoring the Romani ldquogypsyrdquo heritage Due to discrimination against the Roma community in Hungary and elsewhere in central Europe many Romani people are not willing to talk about their ldquogypsyrdquo backgrounds

Their Music Find ldquoKelemen Quartet Beacutela Bartoacutek String Quartet No5rdquo on YouTubecom

Wine This music calls for a wine that is fluid and supple yet not too intense Pinot Noir it is The 2013 Acacia Pinot Noir is a great example of Carneros Pinot Noir with lots of cherry thyme and floral notes and a great underpinning of bramble fruit Carneros typically makes lighter Pinot Noirs than other California regions and this is no exception which makes it a perfect red wine to enjoy before the cold sets in Widely available for around $25

Indy Baroque presents

Barthold Kuijken conducting a program centered on Mozartrsquos ldquoEine kleine Nachtmusikrdquo October 25 at Indiana Landmarks Center October 26 at University of Indianapolis

Fun Fact Mozart wasnrsquot Baroquehellipso we wonrsquot fix him Sorry we couldnrsquot resist When Mozart began composing music was dominated by a simpler style mdash a reaction against the intricacy of the Baroque era Mozart studied the manuscripts of Baroque masters Bach and Handel Thanks to Mozart contrapuntal complexities emerged once more in new forms

The Music Find ldquoMozartrsquos Eine kleine Nachtmusik with graphical scorerdquo on YouTubecom for a fun listening (and viewing) experience

Wine Mozart brings back complexity so we want to bring back red winersquos stepchild Merlot Do we still have ldquomerlot haterdquo ten years after the movie Sideways If I can get over Michelle Kwan not winning the Olympics you can try Merlot Letrsquos go to Italy once more which has the perfect example of what Merlot can bring to a blend in the Piccini Memoro from Venoto Blackberries dominate with stewed cherries and coffee on the back palate Perfect with game or short ribs Available at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe and Cork and Cracker

only around $12 (when you can find it that is because this sells quick)

Indiana University Opera presents

Rossinirsquos Barber of Seville September 18 19 25 26 at Musical Arts Center

Composer Gioacchino Rossini is quoted as having said ldquoEvery kind of music is good except the boring kindrdquo Known for boisterous and passionate music Rossinirsquos best-known operas include the comedies Il Barbiere di Siviglia [The Barber of Seville] La Cenerentola [Cinderella] and Guillaume Tell [William Tell]

Fun Fact A tendency for inspired song-like melodies is evident throughout his scores which led to the nickname ldquoThe Italian Mozartrdquo

The Music Search for ldquoSimon Keenlyside Largordquo on YouTubecom

Wine Forget the wine Rossini inspires such joy in me that I want to sip my favorite aperitif Lemoncello Yes you can mix it in a cocktail but a great lemoncello will stand on its own I usually make my own but after my friends have demolished those bottles I buy Gioia Luisa for around $25 a bottle If you just canrsquot bring yourself to drink it straight buy their version with cream Itrsquos a boozy lemon dreamsicle when served very cold Yoursquore worth it And yoursquore welcome

TicketsInfo Call or visit Indiana Universityrsquos Musical Arts Center 812-855-7433

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

LIVENOTE The Philadelphia Orchestra invites audience members to turn ON their phones and explore masterpieces by favorite composers during their new vibrant mid-week one hour tech savvy concert series LiveNote Nights This unique series featuring the recently launched LiveNote app engages you in an interactive and informative forum including an electrifying performance of the music

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE

Recently while overseas in Jordan to sing the baritone solo in Orffrsquos Carmina Burana I had the privilege of getting to know an American family now living in Amman One night after a rehearsal we shared a bottle of wine plenty of laughs and countless stories including how the 911 attacks altered their lives forever

The mother of the family was a successful high-level investment banker working only a street away from the World Trade Center in September 2001 She literally felt the planes hit She saw the smoke clouds forming She watched people gasping for air while hanging out skyscraper windows Elevators closed she ran down flights of stairs to people clotting the streets She tripped over and screamed with colleagues friends and strangers

REMEMBERING 911

She walked home to Brooklyn as many did that day crossing the Brooklyn Bridge on foot In a surreal moment she realized that she had run walked cried and worried mdash on adrenaline mdash for literally an entire day

Upon arriving home in the dark she was exhausted in a way she had never experienced She was greeted by a simple but beautiful sense of connectedness caring and love Her answering machine was entirely full with messages like ldquoAre you okayrdquo ldquoPlease callrdquo ldquoI love yourdquo and one of the most powerful ldquoI am still alive Are yourdquo Messages had poured in from family friends colleagueshellip from everyone Standing in an apartment alone and in the dark she and so many others were reminded that they were loved

Through a teary-eyed cloud I shared my 911 story as well and we experienced a visceral and emotional connection rooted in the national crisis forever etched in our respective memories As often happens making music together had created a connectedness and closeness that allowed us to share in a mutual vulnerability

I will forever remember my time in Jordan the beautiful set of performances of Carmina Burana vulnerable and beautiful new friends and the nearly 14-year anniversary remembrance of 911

Share your 911 and musical remembrance experiences with us at infoclassicalmusicindyorg

FOOD AND WINE

After the cold dark days of winter the light of summer brings with it an air of celebration Farmersrsquo markets dot the city with displays of fresh fruits vegetables and flowers our gardens are alive with color the Monon Trail is packed with people of all walks of life and our neighborhoods are filled with the smell of outdoor cooking The city is in full bloom with festivals outdoor concerts and more that are usually accompanied by vast and tempting food choices that arenrsquot always healthy

Some events like the CMI audience favorite Symphony on the Prairie allow you to bring your own food a perfect opportunity to concoct your own delicious and healthy eats For a healthier version of the cheese and wine picnic spread try topping healthy crackers like Maryrsquos Gone Crackers (gluten-free) with organic raw cheese or locally-made Capriole goat cheese from Greenville Indiana For a dairy-free option try hummus or other bean dip Consider imbibing with an organic wine that is free from the heavy pesticides Many of these varieties are also sulfite-free and all are readily available around town Complete your concert spread with fruit purchased from your local farmersrsquo market

For other outdoor venues with plentiful (but unhealthy) food options consider bringing body-fueling snacks in a sealable bag or reusable container like a smoothie mix that can easily be added to a water bottle or a homemade trail mix with nuts seeds dark chocolate pieces banana chips goji berries coconut flakes and other goodies Dates stuffed with peanut butter are another healthy delicious filling and easy-to-pack snack

When I need to eat meals on the go or know Irsquom going to a place that serves cuisine Irsquod rather not eat I pack quinoa salads green salads and vegetarian wraps that keep well in a cooler in my car for quite some time Whether you are a merrymaker at one of the many festivals and concerts this summer or simply a person with a hectic lifestyle you can be healthy on the go

PACK IT UP BEFORE YOU GO-GO

When I take a break from the daily hustle I turn to food and music Since most of what I cook comes from a long line of Spaniards here are three Spanish musical favorites yoursquoll find me swaying to as I cook

ldquoBaila Me [Dance for me]rdquo Gipsy KingsA staple in my Abuelitorsquos [Grandfatherrsquos] kitchen this song is something I remember dancing to with family from an early age It is a sure-fire hit for revving up your appetite and starting any dinner party off right

ldquoEste Seu Olhar [Your Eyes]rdquo performed by Nara LeatildeoOkay so itrsquos Brazilian but count on this recording by the Musa da Bossa Nova [Muse of the Bossa Nova] to set the tone for a romantic dine-in night

Joaquin Rodrigorsquos Concierto de AranjuezThe energy with which the guitar stands on its own against full orchestra in the first movement the mystifyingly beautiful melody of the Adagio and the exemplification of how music sheds light during the political upheaval (as was the case in Spain when this renowned work was conceived) make it one of my favorite pieces of all time

While you listen you can also try your hand at my recipe for Tortilla Espantildeola Find this recipe and more at wwwindyfoodmaventumblrcom Buen provecho [bon appetite] and happy listening

PAIRINGS

PAIRING WINE AND MUSIC

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra presentsVivaldirsquos The Four SeasonsJuly 16 at Holliday Park July 17 amp 18 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer Born in Venice Vivaldi is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers The Four Seasons is arguably his most beloved and celebrated composition

Fun Fact Antonio Vivaldi was a victim of identity theft Nicolas Cheacutedeville another lesser-known composer sold his own works claiming that they were original Vivaldi compositions To this day ldquoIl Pastor Fidordquo is regularly and wrongly attributed to Vivaldi

Hear the Music Find ldquoAcademy of St Martin in the Fields with Violinist Julia Fischerrdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Not to tip my hand here but whenever the other Charles (CMIrsquos CEO) gives me a chance to plug an Italian wine I am going to take that chance Why Because Italian wine doesnrsquot seem to get the respect that those from France or Spain do which is a shame Itrsquos perfect for any season full of indigenous varietals not found anywhere else and usually cheaper And for some reason those who say ldquoI donrsquot like white winerdquo always seem to change their tune when it comes to Italian whites Therefore I think you should try Tenuta Ibidinirsquos 2012 Insolia from Sicily Itrsquos a great mix of acidity citrus grass and herbs (yes all those things) and it rings up at about $14 a bottle I picked up my last one at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe This wine recently achieved a landslide win in a blind tasting with our wine group The Circle City Sippers Pair with a light seafood dish or pasta with a white sauce

Movie Music of John WilliamsJuly 23 24 25 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer John Williams is one of the most famous and prolific living composers His work focuses predominantly on film scores and his music is as eclectic as the films on which he has collaborated Indiana Jones Star Wars Jaws Jurassic Park Close Encounters of the Third Kind Superman and ET to name a few

Fun Fact Drafted in 1952 Williams spent three years conducting and arranging music for the US Air Force Band He also worked as a pianist in jazz clubs and studios most notably for Henry Mancini

Hear the Music Find ldquoThe Best Music of John Williams Part Onerdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Seeking a wine that soars like a Williams score but one you can drink under the summer heat on the Prairie Bubbly it is Itrsquos getting hard to find value Champagne with everyone catching on that Prosecco and Cava are in many cases just as good as Champagne but values abound if yoursquore willing to spend around $20 I would suggest a sparkling wine made in the traditional method from of all places New Mexico Gruet Blanc de Noirs (or the Gruet Roseacute or the Sauvage) is quickly becoming recognized as the top flight sparkling wine The price has gone up a few dollars in the past few years due to its popularity but it is still worth it Available at just about any locally owned wine shop (and really thatrsquos where you need to be buying your wine people)

Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra presentsConduct UsAugust 5 at City Market Plaza

The Event Have you ever wanted to conduct professional musicians Join the Chamber Orchestra at City Market for your chance to be the Maestro and interact with the ICOrsquos musicians

Wine Light nimble with enough depth to make you contemplate what yoursquore drinking is what you need to pair with a fun event like this If yoursquore conducting for the first time you might want a sip of something to loosen up A Sauvignon Blanc is a natural choice but let me direct you instead to another varietal that drinks like a Sauvignon Blanc (and which many of us in a blind tasting swore was one) the 2013 Cox Colombard from the Languedoc in France Colombard is a wine that is becoming more well-known as a single varietal bottling as opposed to its earlier uses as a blending grape or to distill to make Cognac This one is zippy with notes of passion fruit and grapefruit zest Perfect for drinking by itself on a summer patio and itrsquos only $13 at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe

Ensemble Music Society presents

Kelemen QuartetOctober 20 at Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center

The Quartet Violinist Barnabas Kelemen founded the quartet with his wife and two musician friends He studied with the late virtuoso violinist Isaac Stern The group won the prestigious Gramophone Award for Best Chamber Music CD of 2013

Fun Fact Barnabas Kelemen from Hungary talks openly about the importance of honoring the Romani ldquogypsyrdquo heritage Due to discrimination against the Roma community in Hungary and elsewhere in central Europe many Romani people are not willing to talk about their ldquogypsyrdquo backgrounds

Their Music Find ldquoKelemen Quartet Beacutela Bartoacutek String Quartet No5rdquo on YouTubecom

Wine This music calls for a wine that is fluid and supple yet not too intense Pinot Noir it is The 2013 Acacia Pinot Noir is a great example of Carneros Pinot Noir with lots of cherry thyme and floral notes and a great underpinning of bramble fruit Carneros typically makes lighter Pinot Noirs than other California regions and this is no exception which makes it a perfect red wine to enjoy before the cold sets in Widely available for around $25

Indy Baroque presents

Barthold Kuijken conducting a program centered on Mozartrsquos ldquoEine kleine Nachtmusikrdquo October 25 at Indiana Landmarks Center October 26 at University of Indianapolis

Fun Fact Mozart wasnrsquot Baroquehellipso we wonrsquot fix him Sorry we couldnrsquot resist When Mozart began composing music was dominated by a simpler style mdash a reaction against the intricacy of the Baroque era Mozart studied the manuscripts of Baroque masters Bach and Handel Thanks to Mozart contrapuntal complexities emerged once more in new forms

The Music Find ldquoMozartrsquos Eine kleine Nachtmusik with graphical scorerdquo on YouTubecom for a fun listening (and viewing) experience

Wine Mozart brings back complexity so we want to bring back red winersquos stepchild Merlot Do we still have ldquomerlot haterdquo ten years after the movie Sideways If I can get over Michelle Kwan not winning the Olympics you can try Merlot Letrsquos go to Italy once more which has the perfect example of what Merlot can bring to a blend in the Piccini Memoro from Venoto Blackberries dominate with stewed cherries and coffee on the back palate Perfect with game or short ribs Available at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe and Cork and Cracker

only around $12 (when you can find it that is because this sells quick)

Indiana University Opera presents

Rossinirsquos Barber of Seville September 18 19 25 26 at Musical Arts Center

Composer Gioacchino Rossini is quoted as having said ldquoEvery kind of music is good except the boring kindrdquo Known for boisterous and passionate music Rossinirsquos best-known operas include the comedies Il Barbiere di Siviglia [The Barber of Seville] La Cenerentola [Cinderella] and Guillaume Tell [William Tell]

Fun Fact A tendency for inspired song-like melodies is evident throughout his scores which led to the nickname ldquoThe Italian Mozartrdquo

The Music Search for ldquoSimon Keenlyside Largordquo on YouTubecom

Wine Forget the wine Rossini inspires such joy in me that I want to sip my favorite aperitif Lemoncello Yes you can mix it in a cocktail but a great lemoncello will stand on its own I usually make my own but after my friends have demolished those bottles I buy Gioia Luisa for around $25 a bottle If you just canrsquot bring yourself to drink it straight buy their version with cream Itrsquos a boozy lemon dreamsicle when served very cold Yoursquore worth it And yoursquore welcome

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE

Recently while overseas in Jordan to sing the baritone solo in Orffrsquos Carmina Burana I had the privilege of getting to know an American family now living in Amman One night after a rehearsal we shared a bottle of wine plenty of laughs and countless stories including how the 911 attacks altered their lives forever

The mother of the family was a successful high-level investment banker working only a street away from the World Trade Center in September 2001 She literally felt the planes hit She saw the smoke clouds forming She watched people gasping for air while hanging out skyscraper windows Elevators closed she ran down flights of stairs to people clotting the streets She tripped over and screamed with colleagues friends and strangers

REMEMBERING 911

She walked home to Brooklyn as many did that day crossing the Brooklyn Bridge on foot In a surreal moment she realized that she had run walked cried and worried mdash on adrenaline mdash for literally an entire day

Upon arriving home in the dark she was exhausted in a way she had never experienced She was greeted by a simple but beautiful sense of connectedness caring and love Her answering machine was entirely full with messages like ldquoAre you okayrdquo ldquoPlease callrdquo ldquoI love yourdquo and one of the most powerful ldquoI am still alive Are yourdquo Messages had poured in from family friends colleagueshellip from everyone Standing in an apartment alone and in the dark she and so many others were reminded that they were loved

Through a teary-eyed cloud I shared my 911 story as well and we experienced a visceral and emotional connection rooted in the national crisis forever etched in our respective memories As often happens making music together had created a connectedness and closeness that allowed us to share in a mutual vulnerability

I will forever remember my time in Jordan the beautiful set of performances of Carmina Burana vulnerable and beautiful new friends and the nearly 14-year anniversary remembrance of 911

FOOD AND WINE

After the cold dark days of winter the light of summer brings with it an air of celebration Farmersrsquo markets dot the city with displays of fresh fruits vegetables and flowers our gardens are alive with color the Monon Trail is packed with people of all walks of life and our neighborhoods are filled with the smell of outdoor cooking The city is in full bloom with festivals outdoor concerts and more that are usually accompanied by vast and tempting food choices that arenrsquot always healthy

Some events like the CMI audience favorite Symphony on the Prairie allow you to bring your own food a perfect opportunity to concoct your own delicious and healthy eats For a healthier version of the cheese and wine picnic spread try topping healthy crackers like Maryrsquos Gone Crackers (gluten-free) with organic raw cheese or locally-made Capriole goat cheese from Greenville Indiana For a dairy-free option try hummus or other bean dip Consider imbibing with an organic wine that is free from the heavy pesticides Many of these varieties are also sulfite-free and all are readily available around town Complete your concert spread with fruit purchased from your local farmersrsquo market

For other outdoor venues with plentiful (but unhealthy) food options consider bringing body-fueling snacks in a sealable bag or reusable container like a smoothie mix that can easily be added to a water bottle or a homemade trail mix with nuts seeds dark chocolate pieces banana chips goji berries coconut flakes and other goodies Dates stuffed with peanut butter are another healthy delicious filling and easy-to-pack snack

When I need to eat meals on the go or know Irsquom going to a place that serves cuisine Irsquod rather not eat I pack quinoa salads green salads and vegetarian wraps that keep well in a cooler in my car for quite some time Whether you are a merrymaker at one of the many festivals and concerts this summer or simply a person with a hectic lifestyle you can be healthy on the go

When I take a break from the daily hustle I turn to food and music Since most of what I cook comes from a long line of Spaniards here are three Spanish musical favorites yoursquoll find me swaying to as I cook

ldquoBaila Me [Dance for me]rdquo Gipsy KingsA staple in my Abuelitorsquos [Grandfatherrsquos] kitchen this song is something I remember dancing to with family from an early age It is a sure-fire hit for revving up your appetite and starting any dinner party off right

ldquoEste Seu Olhar [Your Eyes]rdquo performed by Nara LeatildeoOkay so itrsquos Brazilian but count on this recording by the Musa da Bossa Nova [Muse of the Bossa Nova] to set the tone for a romantic dine-in night

Joaquin Rodrigorsquos Concierto de AranjuezThe energy with which the guitar stands on its own against full orchestra in the first movement the mystifyingly beautiful melody of the Adagio and the exemplification of how music sheds light during the political upheaval (as was the case in Spain when this renowned work was conceived) make it one of my favorite pieces of all time

While you listen you can also try your hand at my recipe for Tortilla Espantildeola Find this recipe and more at wwwindyfoodmaventumblrcom Buen provecho [bon appetite] and happy listening

PAIRING WINE AND MUSIC

Composer Born in Venice Vivaldi is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers The Four Seasons is arguably his most beloved and celebrated composition

Hear the Music Find ldquoAcademy of St Martin in the Fields with Violinist Julia Fischerrdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Not to tip my hand here but whenever the other Charles (CMIrsquos CEO) gives me a chance to plug an Italian wine I am going to take that chance Why Because Italian wine doesnrsquot seem to get the respect that those from France or Spain do which is a shame Itrsquos perfect for any season full of indigenous varietals not found anywhere else and usually cheaper And for some reason those who say ldquoI donrsquot like white winerdquo always seem to change their tune when it comes to Italian whites Therefore I think you should try Tenuta Ibidinirsquos 2012 Insolia from Sicily Itrsquos a great mix of acidity citrus grass and herbs (yes all those things) and it rings up at about $14 a bottle I picked up my last one at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe This wine recently achieved a landslide win in a blind tasting with our wine group The Circle City Sippers Pair with a light seafood dish or pasta with a white sauce

Movie Music of John WilliamsJuly 23 24 25 at Symphony on the Prairie

Wine Seeking a wine that soars like a Williams score but one you can drink under the summer heat on the Prairie Bubbly it is Itrsquos getting hard to find value Champagne with everyone catching on that Prosecco and Cava are in many cases just as good as Champagne but values abound if yoursquore willing to spend around $20 I would suggest a sparkling wine made in the traditional method from of all places New Mexico Gruet Blanc de Noirs (or the Gruet Roseacute or the Sauvage) is quickly becoming recognized as the top flight sparkling wine The price has gone up a few dollars in the past few years due to its popularity but it is still worth it Available at just about any locally owned wine shop (and really thatrsquos where you need to be buying your wine people)

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

Deep breathing mdash it helps keep me calm and in the moment Short phrases like ldquostay here nowrdquo really help me focus

What is one quirky thing about you that few people know (and yoursquore willing to share)

I love to dance and sing Irsquom not good at either but I enjoy both

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

Al comienzo de mi carrera soliacutea decirle a la gente que era compositor y si me lo preguntaban soliacutea decir que era cubano Luego comenceacute a notar que su intereacutes claramente se disipaba cuando les deciacutea que componiacutea muacutesica claacutesica y no cubana Me he resistido siempre a encasillar a las personas pero por otro lado no estaba dispuesto a permitir que la muacutesica cubana dejara de ser fuente de inspiracioacuten para miacute Maacutes tarde fusioneacute estilos cubanos con algunas de mis composiciones musicales

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE

Recently while overseas in Jordan to sing the baritone solo in Orffrsquos Carmina Burana I had the privilege of getting to know an American family now living in Amman One night after a rehearsal we shared a bottle of wine plenty of laughs and countless stories including how the 911 attacks altered their lives forever

The mother of the family was a successful high-level investment banker working only a street away from the World Trade Center in September 2001 She literally felt the planes hit She saw the smoke clouds forming She watched people gasping for air while hanging out skyscraper windows Elevators closed she ran down flights of stairs to people clotting the streets She tripped over and screamed with colleagues friends and strangers

REMEMBERING 911

She walked home to Brooklyn as many did that day crossing the Brooklyn Bridge on foot In a surreal moment she realized that she had run walked cried and worried mdash on adrenaline mdash for literally an entire day

Upon arriving home in the dark she was exhausted in a way she had never experienced She was greeted by a simple but beautiful sense of connectedness caring and love Her answering machine was entirely full with messages like ldquoAre you okayrdquo ldquoPlease callrdquo ldquoI love yourdquo and one of the most powerful ldquoI am still alive Are yourdquo Messages had poured in from family friends colleagueshellip from everyone Standing in an apartment alone and in the dark she and so many others were reminded that they were loved

Through a teary-eyed cloud I shared my 911 story as well and we experienced a visceral and emotional connection rooted in the national crisis forever etched in our respective memories As often happens making music together had created a connectedness and closeness that allowed us to share in a mutual vulnerability

I will forever remember my time in Jordan the beautiful set of performances of Carmina Burana vulnerable and beautiful new friends and the nearly 14-year anniversary remembrance of 911

FOOD AND WINE

After the cold dark days of winter the light of summer brings with it an air of celebration Farmersrsquo markets dot the city with displays of fresh fruits vegetables and flowers our gardens are alive with color the Monon Trail is packed with people of all walks of life and our neighborhoods are filled with the smell of outdoor cooking The city is in full bloom with festivals outdoor concerts and more that are usually accompanied by vast and tempting food choices that arenrsquot always healthy

Some events like the CMI audience favorite Symphony on the Prairie allow you to bring your own food a perfect opportunity to concoct your own delicious and healthy eats For a healthier version of the cheese and wine picnic spread try topping healthy crackers like Maryrsquos Gone Crackers (gluten-free) with organic raw cheese or locally-made Capriole goat cheese from Greenville Indiana For a dairy-free option try hummus or other bean dip Consider imbibing with an organic wine that is free from the heavy pesticides Many of these varieties are also sulfite-free and all are readily available around town Complete your concert spread with fruit purchased from your local farmersrsquo market

For other outdoor venues with plentiful (but unhealthy) food options consider bringing body-fueling snacks in a sealable bag or reusable container like a smoothie mix that can easily be added to a water bottle or a homemade trail mix with nuts seeds dark chocolate pieces banana chips goji berries coconut flakes and other goodies Dates stuffed with peanut butter are another healthy delicious filling and easy-to-pack snack

When I need to eat meals on the go or know Irsquom going to a place that serves cuisine Irsquod rather not eat I pack quinoa salads green salads and vegetarian wraps that keep well in a cooler in my car for quite some time Whether you are a merrymaker at one of the many festivals and concerts this summer or simply a person with a hectic lifestyle you can be healthy on the go

When I take a break from the daily hustle I turn to food and music Since most of what I cook comes from a long line of Spaniards here are three Spanish musical favorites yoursquoll find me swaying to as I cook

ldquoBaila Me [Dance for me]rdquo Gipsy KingsA staple in my Abuelitorsquos [Grandfatherrsquos] kitchen this song is something I remember dancing to with family from an early age It is a sure-fire hit for revving up your appetite and starting any dinner party off right

ldquoEste Seu Olhar [Your Eyes]rdquo performed by Nara LeatildeoOkay so itrsquos Brazilian but count on this recording by the Musa da Bossa Nova [Muse of the Bossa Nova] to set the tone for a romantic dine-in night

Joaquin Rodrigorsquos Concierto de AranjuezThe energy with which the guitar stands on its own against full orchestra in the first movement the mystifyingly beautiful melody of the Adagio and the exemplification of how music sheds light during the political upheaval (as was the case in Spain when this renowned work was conceived) make it one of my favorite pieces of all time

While you listen you can also try your hand at my recipe for Tortilla Espantildeola Find this recipe and more at wwwindyfoodmaventumblrcom Buen provecho [bon appetite] and happy listening

PAIRING WINE AND MUSIC

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra presentsVivaldirsquos The Four SeasonsJuly 16 at Holliday Park July 17 amp 18 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer Born in Venice Vivaldi is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers The Four Seasons is arguably his most beloved and celebrated composition

Fun Fact Antonio Vivaldi was a victim of identity theft Nicolas Cheacutedeville another lesser-known composer sold his own works claiming that they were original Vivaldi compositions To this day ldquoIl Pastor Fidordquo is regularly and wrongly attributed to Vivaldi

Hear the Music Find ldquoAcademy of St Martin in the Fields with Violinist Julia Fischerrdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Not to tip my hand here but whenever the other Charles (CMIrsquos CEO) gives me a chance to plug an Italian wine I am going to take that chance Why Because Italian wine doesnrsquot seem to get the respect that those from France or Spain do which is a shame Itrsquos perfect for any season full of indigenous varietals not found anywhere else and usually cheaper And for some reason those who say ldquoI donrsquot like white winerdquo always seem to change their tune when it comes to Italian whites Therefore I think you should try Tenuta Ibidinirsquos 2012 Insolia from Sicily Itrsquos a great mix of acidity citrus grass and herbs (yes all those things) and it rings up at about $14 a bottle I picked up my last one at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe This wine recently achieved a landslide win in a blind tasting with our wine group The Circle City Sippers Pair with a light seafood dish or pasta with a white sauce

Movie Music of John WilliamsJuly 23 24 25 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer John Williams is one of the most famous and prolific living composers His work focuses predominantly on film scores and his music is as eclectic as the films on which he has collaborated Indiana Jones Star Wars Jaws Jurassic Park Close Encounters of the Third Kind Superman and ET to name a few

Fun Fact Drafted in 1952 Williams spent three years conducting and arranging music for the US Air Force Band He also worked as a pianist in jazz clubs and studios most notably for Henry Mancini

Hear the Music Find ldquoThe Best Music of John Williams Part Onerdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Seeking a wine that soars like a Williams score but one you can drink under the summer heat on the Prairie Bubbly it is Itrsquos getting hard to find value Champagne with everyone catching on that Prosecco and Cava are in many cases just as good as Champagne but values abound if yoursquore willing to spend around $20 I would suggest a sparkling wine made in the traditional method from of all places New Mexico Gruet Blanc de Noirs (or the Gruet Roseacute or the Sauvage) is quickly becoming recognized as the top flight sparkling wine The price has gone up a few dollars in the past few years due to its popularity but it is still worth it Available at just about any locally owned wine shop (and really thatrsquos where you need to be buying your wine people)

Fun Fact Mozart wasnrsquot Baroquehellipso we wonrsquot fix him Sorry we couldnrsquot resist When Mozart began composing music was dominated by a simpler style mdash a reaction against the intricacy of the Baroque era Mozart studied the manuscripts of Baroque masters Bach and Handel Thanks to Mozart contrapuntal complexities emerged once more in new forms

Fun Fact A tendency for inspired song-like melodies is evident throughout his scores which led to the nickname ldquoThe Italian Mozartrdquo

The Music Search for ldquoSimon Keenlyside Largordquo on YouTubecom

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

REMEMBERING 911

She walked home to Brooklyn as many did that day crossing the Brooklyn Bridge on foot In a surreal moment she realized that she had run walked cried and worried mdash on adrenaline mdash for literally an entire day

Upon arriving home in the dark she was exhausted in a way she had never experienced She was greeted by a simple but beautiful sense of connectedness caring and love Her answering machine was entirely full with messages like ldquoAre you okayrdquo ldquoPlease callrdquo ldquoI love yourdquo and one of the most powerful ldquoI am still alive Are yourdquo Messages had poured in from family friends colleagueshellip from everyone Standing in an apartment alone and in the dark she and so many others were reminded that they were loved

Through a teary-eyed cloud I shared my 911 story as well and we experienced a visceral and emotional connection rooted in the national crisis forever etched in our respective memories As often happens making music together had created a connectedness and closeness that allowed us to share in a mutual vulnerability

I will forever remember my time in Jordan the beautiful set of performances of Carmina Burana vulnerable and beautiful new friends and the nearly 14-year anniversary remembrance of 911

FOOD AND WINE

After the cold dark days of winter the light of summer brings with it an air of celebration Farmersrsquo markets dot the city with displays of fresh fruits vegetables and flowers our gardens are alive with color the Monon Trail is packed with people of all walks of life and our neighborhoods are filled with the smell of outdoor cooking The city is in full bloom with festivals outdoor concerts and more that are usually accompanied by vast and tempting food choices that arenrsquot always healthy

Some events like the CMI audience favorite Symphony on the Prairie allow you to bring your own food a perfect opportunity to concoct your own delicious and healthy eats For a healthier version of the cheese and wine picnic spread try topping healthy crackers like Maryrsquos Gone Crackers (gluten-free) with organic raw cheese or locally-made Capriole goat cheese from Greenville Indiana For a dairy-free option try hummus or other bean dip Consider imbibing with an organic wine that is free from the heavy pesticides Many of these varieties are also sulfite-free and all are readily available around town Complete your concert spread with fruit purchased from your local farmersrsquo market

For other outdoor venues with plentiful (but unhealthy) food options consider bringing body-fueling snacks in a sealable bag or reusable container like a smoothie mix that can easily be added to a water bottle or a homemade trail mix with nuts seeds dark chocolate pieces banana chips goji berries coconut flakes and other goodies Dates stuffed with peanut butter are another healthy delicious filling and easy-to-pack snack

When I need to eat meals on the go or know Irsquom going to a place that serves cuisine Irsquod rather not eat I pack quinoa salads green salads and vegetarian wraps that keep well in a cooler in my car for quite some time Whether you are a merrymaker at one of the many festivals and concerts this summer or simply a person with a hectic lifestyle you can be healthy on the go

When I take a break from the daily hustle I turn to food and music Since most of what I cook comes from a long line of Spaniards here are three Spanish musical favorites yoursquoll find me swaying to as I cook

ldquoBaila Me [Dance for me]rdquo Gipsy KingsA staple in my Abuelitorsquos [Grandfatherrsquos] kitchen this song is something I remember dancing to with family from an early age It is a sure-fire hit for revving up your appetite and starting any dinner party off right

ldquoEste Seu Olhar [Your Eyes]rdquo performed by Nara LeatildeoOkay so itrsquos Brazilian but count on this recording by the Musa da Bossa Nova [Muse of the Bossa Nova] to set the tone for a romantic dine-in night

Joaquin Rodrigorsquos Concierto de AranjuezThe energy with which the guitar stands on its own against full orchestra in the first movement the mystifyingly beautiful melody of the Adagio and the exemplification of how music sheds light during the political upheaval (as was the case in Spain when this renowned work was conceived) make it one of my favorite pieces of all time

While you listen you can also try your hand at my recipe for Tortilla Espantildeola Find this recipe and more at wwwindyfoodmaventumblrcom Buen provecho [bon appetite] and happy listening

PAIRING WINE AND MUSIC

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra presentsVivaldirsquos The Four SeasonsJuly 16 at Holliday Park July 17 amp 18 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer Born in Venice Vivaldi is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers The Four Seasons is arguably his most beloved and celebrated composition

Fun Fact Antonio Vivaldi was a victim of identity theft Nicolas Cheacutedeville another lesser-known composer sold his own works claiming that they were original Vivaldi compositions To this day ldquoIl Pastor Fidordquo is regularly and wrongly attributed to Vivaldi

Hear the Music Find ldquoAcademy of St Martin in the Fields with Violinist Julia Fischerrdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Not to tip my hand here but whenever the other Charles (CMIrsquos CEO) gives me a chance to plug an Italian wine I am going to take that chance Why Because Italian wine doesnrsquot seem to get the respect that those from France or Spain do which is a shame Itrsquos perfect for any season full of indigenous varietals not found anywhere else and usually cheaper And for some reason those who say ldquoI donrsquot like white winerdquo always seem to change their tune when it comes to Italian whites Therefore I think you should try Tenuta Ibidinirsquos 2012 Insolia from Sicily Itrsquos a great mix of acidity citrus grass and herbs (yes all those things) and it rings up at about $14 a bottle I picked up my last one at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe This wine recently achieved a landslide win in a blind tasting with our wine group The Circle City Sippers Pair with a light seafood dish or pasta with a white sauce

Movie Music of John WilliamsJuly 23 24 25 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer John Williams is one of the most famous and prolific living composers His work focuses predominantly on film scores and his music is as eclectic as the films on which he has collaborated Indiana Jones Star Wars Jaws Jurassic Park Close Encounters of the Third Kind Superman and ET to name a few

Fun Fact Drafted in 1952 Williams spent three years conducting and arranging music for the US Air Force Band He also worked as a pianist in jazz clubs and studios most notably for Henry Mancini

Hear the Music Find ldquoThe Best Music of John Williams Part Onerdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Seeking a wine that soars like a Williams score but one you can drink under the summer heat on the Prairie Bubbly it is Itrsquos getting hard to find value Champagne with everyone catching on that Prosecco and Cava are in many cases just as good as Champagne but values abound if yoursquore willing to spend around $20 I would suggest a sparkling wine made in the traditional method from of all places New Mexico Gruet Blanc de Noirs (or the Gruet Roseacute or the Sauvage) is quickly becoming recognized as the top flight sparkling wine The price has gone up a few dollars in the past few years due to its popularity but it is still worth it Available at just about any locally owned wine shop (and really thatrsquos where you need to be buying your wine people)

Wine Light nimble with enough depth to make you contemplate what yoursquore drinking is what you need to pair with a fun event like this If yoursquore conducting for the first time you might want a sip of something to loosen up A Sauvignon Blanc is a natural choice but let me direct you instead to another varietal that drinks like a Sauvignon Blanc (and which many of us in a blind tasting swore was one) the 2013 Cox Colombard from the Languedoc in France Colombard is a wine that is becoming more well-known as a single varietal bottling as opposed to its earlier uses as a blending grape or to distill to make Cognac This one is zippy with notes of passion fruit and grapefruit zest Perfect for drinking by itself on a summer patio and itrsquos only $13 at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe

Kelemen QuartetOctober 20 at Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center

The Quartet Violinist Barnabas Kelemen founded the quartet with his wife and two musician friends He studied with the late virtuoso violinist Isaac Stern The group won the prestigious Gramophone Award for Best Chamber Music CD of 2013

Fun Fact Barnabas Kelemen from Hungary talks openly about the importance of honoring the Romani ldquogypsyrdquo heritage Due to discrimination against the Roma community in Hungary and elsewhere in central Europe many Romani people are not willing to talk about their ldquogypsyrdquo backgrounds

Their Music Find ldquoKelemen Quartet Beacutela Bartoacutek String Quartet No5rdquo on YouTubecom

Wine This music calls for a wine that is fluid and supple yet not too intense Pinot Noir it is The 2013 Acacia Pinot Noir is a great example of Carneros Pinot Noir with lots of cherry thyme and floral notes and a great underpinning of bramble fruit Carneros typically makes lighter Pinot Noirs than other California regions and this is no exception which makes it a perfect red wine to enjoy before the cold sets in Widely available for around $25

Indy Baroque presents

Barthold Kuijken conducting a program centered on Mozartrsquos ldquoEine kleine Nachtmusikrdquo October 25 at Indiana Landmarks Center October 26 at University of Indianapolis

Fun Fact Mozart wasnrsquot Baroquehellipso we wonrsquot fix him Sorry we couldnrsquot resist When Mozart began composing music was dominated by a simpler style mdash a reaction against the intricacy of the Baroque era Mozart studied the manuscripts of Baroque masters Bach and Handel Thanks to Mozart contrapuntal complexities emerged once more in new forms

Rossinirsquos Barber of Seville September 18 19 25 26 at Musical Arts Center

Composer Gioacchino Rossini is quoted as having said ldquoEvery kind of music is good except the boring kindrdquo Known for boisterous and passionate music Rossinirsquos best-known operas include the comedies Il Barbiere di Siviglia [The Barber of Seville] La Cenerentola [Cinderella] and Guillaume Tell [William Tell]

Fun Fact A tendency for inspired song-like melodies is evident throughout his scores which led to the nickname ldquoThe Italian Mozartrdquo

The Music Search for ldquoSimon Keenlyside Largordquo on YouTubecom

Wine Forget the wine Rossini inspires such joy in me that I want to sip my favorite aperitif Lemoncello Yes you can mix it in a cocktail but a great lemoncello will stand on its own I usually make my own but after my friends have demolished those bottles I buy Gioia Luisa for around $25 a bottle If you just canrsquot bring yourself to drink it straight buy their version with cream Itrsquos a boozy lemon dreamsicle when served very cold Yoursquore worth it And yoursquore welcome

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

ART IS AN ARTICULATION OF OUR TIME AND HOW WE EXPERIENCE THE WORLD ITrsquoS ALL POLITICAL INCLUDING THE ONES THAT CHOSE TO ABSTAIN FROM THAT DIALOG THAT IS ALSO A POLITICAL POSITION NEUTRALITY IS A MYTHmdash Artur Silva

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

As a Haitian-American woman music plays a major role in my daily life When hanging out with friends I often listen to Kompa a form of Haitian music characterized by its steady brass orchestra that maintains a danceable beat a big band feel and a solid melody I also listen to many other genres depending on my mood

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

I remember growing up in Haiti as a little girl and watching huge crowds of people marching by our house once a year during carnival season I tried to join the crowd but my grandmother never allowed me to do so The costumes and the loud music were absolutely enticing and all participants seemed genuinely happy I really wanted to join the crowd and dance the night away

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

I have many memorable musical experiences listening to music at international functions or while visiting a foreign country There is something magical when you can enjoy the pleasures of music even if you donrsquot understand the words or lyrics You are simply enjoying the music in the purest sense You can get a first-hand and genuine understanding of how music is a natural connector between cultures I remember a time sitting in a small cafeacute in southern Spain listening to a Spanish guitar group It was a small simple quaint setting filled with an intensity of culture Experiences like those are hard to beat

KEVIN WHITEDExecutive Director INDYCOG

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

INDYCOG is a bicycle advocacy group mdash we work to make Indianapolis more bicycle friendly for recreational and transportation purposes INDYCOG promotes an active bicycle culture through its programs that focus on advocacy collaboration education and culture While listening to music while biking isnrsquot encouraged for safety reasons I try to incorporate music into our work in other ways I recently organized a bike ride starting at the Upland Brewing Company Tasting Room to attend the Interpol concert at the Egyptian Room I also envision using music to eventually create a bicycle safety PSA since audiences remember messages more readily when they are attached to music

How else do you enjoy music

I really love music and always have music in my ears except when Irsquom on my bike I fall asleep and wake to music and something is always playing in the background at home when wersquore not watching TV or a movie I mainly listen to alternative jazz some folk and classical My favorite classical composer is Rachmaninoff I also attend a lot of live shows

Licensed Acupuncturist

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

How else do you enjoy music

I love to dance and especially enjoy when a DJ spins old-school hip-hop or a drummer plays the congos mdash you canrsquot help but jump up to dance and feel alive I love cooking to flamenco Bollywood and other ethnic forms of music because the energy you bring to your cooking is communicated through the food you prepare To feel sassy I love listening to a good-looking man that can sing falsetto like Justin Timberlake Adam Levine Bruno Mars Miguel and Maxwell mdash I even have a ldquoHot Guy Falsettordquo playlist To concentrate I prefer listening to classical music

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart

FOOD AND WINE

After the cold dark days of winter the light of summer brings with it an air of celebration Farmersrsquo markets dot the city with displays of fresh fruits vegetables and flowers our gardens are alive with color the Monon Trail is packed with people of all walks of life and our neighborhoods are filled with the smell of outdoor cooking The city is in full bloom with festivals outdoor concerts and more that are usually accompanied by vast and tempting food choices that arenrsquot always healthy

Some events like the CMI audience favorite Symphony on the Prairie allow you to bring your own food a perfect opportunity to concoct your own delicious and healthy eats For a healthier version of the cheese and wine picnic spread try topping healthy crackers like Maryrsquos Gone Crackers (gluten-free) with organic raw cheese or locally-made Capriole goat cheese from Greenville Indiana For a dairy-free option try hummus or other bean dip Consider imbibing with an organic wine that is free from the heavy pesticides Many of these varieties are also sulfite-free and all are readily available around town Complete your concert spread with fruit purchased from your local farmersrsquo market

For other outdoor venues with plentiful (but unhealthy) food options consider bringing body-fueling snacks in a sealable bag or reusable container like a smoothie mix that can easily be added to a water bottle or a homemade trail mix with nuts seeds dark chocolate pieces banana chips goji berries coconut flakes and other goodies Dates stuffed with peanut butter are another healthy delicious filling and easy-to-pack snack

When I need to eat meals on the go or know Irsquom going to a place that serves cuisine Irsquod rather not eat I pack quinoa salads green salads and vegetarian wraps that keep well in a cooler in my car for quite some time Whether you are a merrymaker at one of the many festivals and concerts this summer or simply a person with a hectic lifestyle you can be healthy on the go

When I take a break from the daily hustle I turn to food and music Since most of what I cook comes from a long line of Spaniards here are three Spanish musical favorites yoursquoll find me swaying to as I cook

ldquoBaila Me [Dance for me]rdquo Gipsy KingsA staple in my Abuelitorsquos [Grandfatherrsquos] kitchen this song is something I remember dancing to with family from an early age It is a sure-fire hit for revving up your appetite and starting any dinner party off right

ldquoEste Seu Olhar [Your Eyes]rdquo performed by Nara LeatildeoOkay so itrsquos Brazilian but count on this recording by the Musa da Bossa Nova [Muse of the Bossa Nova] to set the tone for a romantic dine-in night

Joaquin Rodrigorsquos Concierto de AranjuezThe energy with which the guitar stands on its own against full orchestra in the first movement the mystifyingly beautiful melody of the Adagio and the exemplification of how music sheds light during the political upheaval (as was the case in Spain when this renowned work was conceived) make it one of my favorite pieces of all time

While you listen you can also try your hand at my recipe for Tortilla Espantildeola Find this recipe and more at wwwindyfoodmaventumblrcom Buen provecho [bon appetite] and happy listening

PAIRING WINE AND MUSIC

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra presentsVivaldirsquos The Four SeasonsJuly 16 at Holliday Park July 17 amp 18 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer Born in Venice Vivaldi is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers The Four Seasons is arguably his most beloved and celebrated composition

Fun Fact Antonio Vivaldi was a victim of identity theft Nicolas Cheacutedeville another lesser-known composer sold his own works claiming that they were original Vivaldi compositions To this day ldquoIl Pastor Fidordquo is regularly and wrongly attributed to Vivaldi

Hear the Music Find ldquoAcademy of St Martin in the Fields with Violinist Julia Fischerrdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Not to tip my hand here but whenever the other Charles (CMIrsquos CEO) gives me a chance to plug an Italian wine I am going to take that chance Why Because Italian wine doesnrsquot seem to get the respect that those from France or Spain do which is a shame Itrsquos perfect for any season full of indigenous varietals not found anywhere else and usually cheaper And for some reason those who say ldquoI donrsquot like white winerdquo always seem to change their tune when it comes to Italian whites Therefore I think you should try Tenuta Ibidinirsquos 2012 Insolia from Sicily Itrsquos a great mix of acidity citrus grass and herbs (yes all those things) and it rings up at about $14 a bottle I picked up my last one at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe This wine recently achieved a landslide win in a blind tasting with our wine group The Circle City Sippers Pair with a light seafood dish or pasta with a white sauce

Movie Music of John WilliamsJuly 23 24 25 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer John Williams is one of the most famous and prolific living composers His work focuses predominantly on film scores and his music is as eclectic as the films on which he has collaborated Indiana Jones Star Wars Jaws Jurassic Park Close Encounters of the Third Kind Superman and ET to name a few

Fun Fact Drafted in 1952 Williams spent three years conducting and arranging music for the US Air Force Band He also worked as a pianist in jazz clubs and studios most notably for Henry Mancini

Hear the Music Find ldquoThe Best Music of John Williams Part Onerdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Seeking a wine that soars like a Williams score but one you can drink under the summer heat on the Prairie Bubbly it is Itrsquos getting hard to find value Champagne with everyone catching on that Prosecco and Cava are in many cases just as good as Champagne but values abound if yoursquore willing to spend around $20 I would suggest a sparkling wine made in the traditional method from of all places New Mexico Gruet Blanc de Noirs (or the Gruet Roseacute or the Sauvage) is quickly becoming recognized as the top flight sparkling wine The price has gone up a few dollars in the past few years due to its popularity but it is still worth it Available at just about any locally owned wine shop (and really thatrsquos where you need to be buying your wine people)

Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra presentsConduct UsAugust 5 at City Market Plaza

The Event Have you ever wanted to conduct professional musicians Join the Chamber Orchestra at City Market for your chance to be the Maestro and interact with the ICOrsquos musicians

Wine Light nimble with enough depth to make you contemplate what yoursquore drinking is what you need to pair with a fun event like this If yoursquore conducting for the first time you might want a sip of something to loosen up A Sauvignon Blanc is a natural choice but let me direct you instead to another varietal that drinks like a Sauvignon Blanc (and which many of us in a blind tasting swore was one) the 2013 Cox Colombard from the Languedoc in France Colombard is a wine that is becoming more well-known as a single varietal bottling as opposed to its earlier uses as a blending grape or to distill to make Cognac This one is zippy with notes of passion fruit and grapefruit zest Perfect for drinking by itself on a summer patio and itrsquos only $13 at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe

Fun Fact Barnabas Kelemen from Hungary talks openly about the importance of honoring the Romani ldquogypsyrdquo heritage Due to discrimination against the Roma community in Hungary and elsewhere in central Europe many Romani people are not willing to talk about their ldquogypsyrdquo backgrounds

Their Music Find ldquoKelemen Quartet Beacutela Bartoacutek String Quartet No5rdquo on YouTubecom

Wine This music calls for a wine that is fluid and supple yet not too intense Pinot Noir it is The 2013 Acacia Pinot Noir is a great example of Carneros Pinot Noir with lots of cherry thyme and floral notes and a great underpinning of bramble fruit Carneros typically makes lighter Pinot Noirs than other California regions and this is no exception which makes it a perfect red wine to enjoy before the cold sets in Widely available for around $25

Indy Baroque presents

Barthold Kuijken conducting a program centered on Mozartrsquos ldquoEine kleine Nachtmusikrdquo October 25 at Indiana Landmarks Center October 26 at University of Indianapolis

Fun Fact Mozart wasnrsquot Baroquehellipso we wonrsquot fix him Sorry we couldnrsquot resist When Mozart began composing music was dominated by a simpler style mdash a reaction against the intricacy of the Baroque era Mozart studied the manuscripts of Baroque masters Bach and Handel Thanks to Mozart contrapuntal complexities emerged once more in new forms

Composer Gioacchino Rossini is quoted as having said ldquoEvery kind of music is good except the boring kindrdquo Known for boisterous and passionate music Rossinirsquos best-known operas include the comedies Il Barbiere di Siviglia [The Barber of Seville] La Cenerentola [Cinderella] and Guillaume Tell [William Tell]

Fun Fact A tendency for inspired song-like melodies is evident throughout his scores which led to the nickname ldquoThe Italian Mozartrdquo

The Music Search for ldquoSimon Keenlyside Largordquo on YouTubecom

Wine Forget the wine Rossini inspires such joy in me that I want to sip my favorite aperitif Lemoncello Yes you can mix it in a cocktail but a great lemoncello will stand on its own I usually make my own but after my friends have demolished those bottles I buy Gioia Luisa for around $25 a bottle If you just canrsquot bring yourself to drink it straight buy their version with cream Itrsquos a boozy lemon dreamsicle when served very cold Yoursquore worth it And yoursquore welcome

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

When I take a break from the daily hustle I turn to food and music Since most of what I cook comes from a long line of Spaniards here are three Spanish musical favorites yoursquoll find me swaying to as I cook

ldquoBaila Me [Dance for me]rdquo Gipsy KingsA staple in my Abuelitorsquos [Grandfatherrsquos] kitchen this song is something I remember dancing to with family from an early age It is a sure-fire hit for revving up your appetite and starting any dinner party off right

ldquoEste Seu Olhar [Your Eyes]rdquo performed by Nara LeatildeoOkay so itrsquos Brazilian but count on this recording by the Musa da Bossa Nova [Muse of the Bossa Nova] to set the tone for a romantic dine-in night

Joaquin Rodrigorsquos Concierto de AranjuezThe energy with which the guitar stands on its own against full orchestra in the first movement the mystifyingly beautiful melody of the Adagio and the exemplification of how music sheds light during the political upheaval (as was the case in Spain when this renowned work was conceived) make it one of my favorite pieces of all time

While you listen you can also try your hand at my recipe for Tortilla Espantildeola Find this recipe and more at wwwindyfoodmaventumblrcom Buen provecho [bon appetite] and happy listening

PAIRING WINE AND MUSIC

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra presentsVivaldirsquos The Four SeasonsJuly 16 at Holliday Park July 17 amp 18 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer Born in Venice Vivaldi is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers The Four Seasons is arguably his most beloved and celebrated composition

Fun Fact Antonio Vivaldi was a victim of identity theft Nicolas Cheacutedeville another lesser-known composer sold his own works claiming that they were original Vivaldi compositions To this day ldquoIl Pastor Fidordquo is regularly and wrongly attributed to Vivaldi

Hear the Music Find ldquoAcademy of St Martin in the Fields with Violinist Julia Fischerrdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Not to tip my hand here but whenever the other Charles (CMIrsquos CEO) gives me a chance to plug an Italian wine I am going to take that chance Why Because Italian wine doesnrsquot seem to get the respect that those from France or Spain do which is a shame Itrsquos perfect for any season full of indigenous varietals not found anywhere else and usually cheaper And for some reason those who say ldquoI donrsquot like white winerdquo always seem to change their tune when it comes to Italian whites Therefore I think you should try Tenuta Ibidinirsquos 2012 Insolia from Sicily Itrsquos a great mix of acidity citrus grass and herbs (yes all those things) and it rings up at about $14 a bottle I picked up my last one at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe This wine recently achieved a landslide win in a blind tasting with our wine group The Circle City Sippers Pair with a light seafood dish or pasta with a white sauce

Movie Music of John WilliamsJuly 23 24 25 at Symphony on the Prairie

Composer John Williams is one of the most famous and prolific living composers His work focuses predominantly on film scores and his music is as eclectic as the films on which he has collaborated Indiana Jones Star Wars Jaws Jurassic Park Close Encounters of the Third Kind Superman and ET to name a few

Fun Fact Drafted in 1952 Williams spent three years conducting and arranging music for the US Air Force Band He also worked as a pianist in jazz clubs and studios most notably for Henry Mancini

Hear the Music Find ldquoThe Best Music of John Williams Part Onerdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Seeking a wine that soars like a Williams score but one you can drink under the summer heat on the Prairie Bubbly it is Itrsquos getting hard to find value Champagne with everyone catching on that Prosecco and Cava are in many cases just as good as Champagne but values abound if yoursquore willing to spend around $20 I would suggest a sparkling wine made in the traditional method from of all places New Mexico Gruet Blanc de Noirs (or the Gruet Roseacute or the Sauvage) is quickly becoming recognized as the top flight sparkling wine The price has gone up a few dollars in the past few years due to its popularity but it is still worth it Available at just about any locally owned wine shop (and really thatrsquos where you need to be buying your wine people)

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

LIVENOTE The Philadelphia Orchestra invites audience members to turn ON their phones and explore masterpieces by favorite composers during their new vibrant mid-week one hour tech savvy concert series LiveNote Nights This unique series featuring the recently launched LiveNote app engages you in an interactive and informative forum including an electrifying performance of the music

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

iquestCoacutemo ha influido el trasfondo cultural en tu carrera profesional

Al comienzo de mi carrera soliacutea decirle a la gente que era compositor y si me lo preguntaban soliacutea decir que era cubano Luego comenceacute a notar que su intereacutes claramente se disipaba cuando les deciacutea que componiacutea muacutesica claacutesica y no cubana Me he resistido siempre a encasillar a las personas pero por otro lado no estaba dispuesto a permitir que la muacutesica cubana dejara de ser fuente de inspiracioacuten para miacute Maacutes tarde fusioneacute estilos cubanos con algunas de mis composiciones musicales

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Hasta el momento el pico de mi carrera profesional ha sido la produccioacuten de mi oacutepera Before Night Falls [Antes Que Anochezca] a cargo del Festival de Oacutepera de Fort Worth que precisamente estaacute basada en la memoria del famoso escritor cubano disidente Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS una fundacioacuten que respalda el trabajo de los artistas de ascendencia cubana me ha premiado con dos becas y estoy orgulloso de que hayan reconocido mi trabajo

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

Always Mozart concerti and I feel relief to hear some great live jazz

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

Composer Born in Venice Vivaldi is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers The Four Seasons is arguably his most beloved and celebrated composition

Hear the Music Find ldquoAcademy of St Martin in the Fields with Violinist Julia Fischerrdquo on YouTubecom

Wine Not to tip my hand here but whenever the other Charles (CMIrsquos CEO) gives me a chance to plug an Italian wine I am going to take that chance Why Because Italian wine doesnrsquot seem to get the respect that those from France or Spain do which is a shame Itrsquos perfect for any season full of indigenous varietals not found anywhere else and usually cheaper And for some reason those who say ldquoI donrsquot like white winerdquo always seem to change their tune when it comes to Italian whites Therefore I think you should try Tenuta Ibidinirsquos 2012 Insolia from Sicily Itrsquos a great mix of acidity citrus grass and herbs (yes all those things) and it rings up at about $14 a bottle I picked up my last one at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe This wine recently achieved a landslide win in a blind tasting with our wine group The Circle City Sippers Pair with a light seafood dish or pasta with a white sauce

Movie Music of John WilliamsJuly 23 24 25 at Symphony on the Prairie

Wine Seeking a wine that soars like a Williams score but one you can drink under the summer heat on the Prairie Bubbly it is Itrsquos getting hard to find value Champagne with everyone catching on that Prosecco and Cava are in many cases just as good as Champagne but values abound if yoursquore willing to spend around $20 I would suggest a sparkling wine made in the traditional method from of all places New Mexico Gruet Blanc de Noirs (or the Gruet Roseacute or the Sauvage) is quickly becoming recognized as the top flight sparkling wine The price has gone up a few dollars in the past few years due to its popularity but it is still worth it Available at just about any locally owned wine shop (and really thatrsquos where you need to be buying your wine people)

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

LIVENOTE The Philadelphia Orchestra invites audience members to turn ON their phones and explore masterpieces by favorite composers during their new vibrant mid-week one hour tech savvy concert series LiveNote Nights This unique series featuring the recently launched LiveNote app engages you in an interactive and informative forum including an electrifying performance of the music

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

LIVENOTE The Philadelphia Orchestra invites audience members to turn ON their phones and explore masterpieces by favorite composers during their new vibrant mid-week one hour tech savvy concert series LiveNote Nights This unique series featuring the recently launched LiveNote app engages you in an interactive and informative forum including an electrifying performance of the music

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

Because the storyline was so rooted in political commentary of the time the play Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] was banned by the Emperor of Austria That fact lit a fire for Mozart to ask his favored librettist Lorenzo daPonte to adapt the play into an opera libretto Mozart spent the next year composing the opera secretly Aside from his wicked sense of humor Mozartrsquos political and social commentary showed up in musical form in a number of his major works

Musicians throughout history have found intriguing ways to create a dialogue around political and social happenings Curious about what that creative political commentary would look like CMI reached out to a few visual artists whose work is both beautiful and steeped in their own respective commentary Enjoy this opportunity to see freedom of expression

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

iquestCoacutemo ha influido el trasfondo cultural en tu carrera profesional

Al comienzo de mi carrera soliacutea decirle a la gente que era compositor y si me lo preguntaban soliacutea decir que era cubano Luego comenceacute a notar que su intereacutes claramente se disipaba cuando les deciacutea que componiacutea muacutesica claacutesica y no cubana Me he resistido siempre a encasillar a las personas pero por otro lado no estaba dispuesto a permitir que la muacutesica cubana dejara de ser fuente de inspiracioacuten para miacute Maacutes tarde fusioneacute estilos cubanos con algunas de mis composiciones musicales

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Hasta el momento el pico de mi carrera profesional ha sido la produccioacuten de mi oacutepera Before Night Falls [Antes Que Anochezca] a cargo del Festival de Oacutepera de Fort Worth que precisamente estaacute basada en la memoria del famoso escritor cubano disidente Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS una fundacioacuten que respalda el trabajo de los artistas de ascendencia cubana me ha premiado con dos becas y estoy orgulloso de que hayan reconocido mi trabajo

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

Always Mozart concerti and I feel relief to hear some great live jazz

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

ART IS AN ARTICULATION OF OUR TIME AND HOW WE EXPERIENCE THE WORLD ITrsquoS ALL POLITICAL INCLUDING THE ONES THAT CHOSE TO ABSTAIN FROM THAT DIALOG THAT IS ALSO A POLITICAL POSITION NEUTRALITY IS A MYTHmdash Artur Silva

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

LIVENOTE The Philadelphia Orchestra invites audience members to turn ON their phones and explore masterpieces by favorite composers during their new vibrant mid-week one hour tech savvy concert series LiveNote Nights This unique series featuring the recently launched LiveNote app engages you in an interactive and informative forum including an electrifying performance of the music

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

THE BEAUTY OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY

ART IS AN ARTICULATION OF OUR TIME AND HOW WE EXPERIENCE THE WORLD ITrsquoS ALL POLITICAL INCLUDING THE ONES THAT CHOSE TO ABSTAIN FROM THAT DIALOG THAT IS ALSO A POLITICAL POSITION NEUTRALITY IS A MYTHmdash Artur Silva

Warren Miller Struggle

Artur Silva Lincoln

Warren Miller Big Brother wwwwarrenmillerartcom

Artur Silva What Matters Half Dozen

wwwartursilvacom

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

Licensed Acupuncturist

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart

Growing up my father would often remind me ldquotherersquos no free lunch in Americardquo as if for all the opportunity he saw in this country there wasnrsquot one worth having that didnrsquot come with strings attached Another of his wisdoms mdash ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo mdash echoed a similarly cautionary sentiment about ulterior motives lurking behind every opportunity

My father grew up in Nigeria and came to the United States on a scholarship to Columbia University My mother who at home had received free education as a nurse came with him They put down roots in Harlem New York where they lived through the 1970s It was a time when racial tensions in America were high housing discrimination was rampant and childcare was hard to come by Through this environment a mistrust and cautiousness was bred in my father as my parents navigated their path towards a better life Still music was able to soothe the struggles of daily life My family straddled cultures as all immigrants do making pounded yam out of potato starch letting the voices of Fela Kuti and Dolly Parton alike fill our living room telling secrets in front of us in my motherrsquos tongue

As our national celebration of Independence Day draws closer I think about my parents and all the others like them in this country who have had to struggle fiercely to

partake in the promised freedoms of America

America promises freedom the Statue of Liberty symbolically stands on its shores and the Declaration of Independence literally states ldquoall men are created equalrdquo but for many this promise isnrsquot delivered The ldquoAmerican Dreamrdquo is the carrot that dangles over the heads of the workforce and yet this vision has remained unattainable for many generations of Americans oppressed through racial gender and socioeconomic discrimination and political and religious suppression Historically there have always been those lacking equitable access to opportunity Their needs invisible their bodies hungry and tired they keep fighting their way towards the promise of independence

While many experience personal oppression hardships and disadvantage the notion of freedom remains intact Freedom is a highly esteemed ideal something to strive for and it offers possibilities greater than what came before Through this sense of striving we can better understand why immigration to America remains a dream and why so many of those who arrive like my parents choose to stay Despite flaws and disappointments America continues to be seen as a land of opportunity for freedom and betterment

As a result of my parentsrsquo hard work and dedication I have enjoyed greater

opportunities in education career and daily life For me my family and many others like us Independence Day is not only about celebrating the freedoms we already have but also the freedoms that are possible There are some who claim that freedom can be grasped easily and that those who struggle for an equal shot at success simply arenrsquot smart enough or industrious enough This mindset frequently leads to mistrust discrimination and exploitation As my father put it ldquopeople donrsquot put cheese in the mousetrap because they love the mouserdquo Through my own life experience I have come to understand this saying in my own right

Our country and notions of freedom have broadened and must continue to evolve The process of achieving the kind of freedom that truly belongs to all people is a constant one Even as we celebrate Independence Day we must keep adapting and evolving our ideals of independence creating greater access to freedom for all

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

LIVENOTE The Philadelphia Orchestra invites audience members to turn ON their phones and explore masterpieces by favorite composers during their new vibrant mid-week one hour tech savvy concert series LiveNote Nights This unique series featuring the recently launched LiveNote app engages you in an interactive and informative forum including an electrifying performance of the music

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

I worked for Keep Indianapolis Beautiful for six years as a Youth Tree Team member and became Pruning Coordinator in March Through the years music has been a big part of my work environment I like to sing songs when I am working outside or freestyle to whatever task I am doing that day at work

How else do you enjoy music

I listen to music more than I watch television I clean drive run and sometimes even fall asleep listening to music My family is music oriented my mother worked for a music company when I was younger and my father is a disc jockey I also think listening to music while eating makes the meal a lot more enjoyable

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

Recently I got to see Rihanna perform for free at White River State Park I never thought I would be able to see her in concert let alone for free It was awesome singing along with her and the crowd It was an experience I will never forget

KEVIN WHITEDExecutive Director INDYCOG

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

INDYCOG is a bicycle advocacy group mdash we work to make Indianapolis more bicycle friendly for recreational and transportation purposes INDYCOG promotes an active bicycle culture through its programs that focus on advocacy collaboration education and culture While listening to music while biking isnrsquot encouraged for safety reasons I try to incorporate music into our work in other ways I recently organized a bike ride starting at the Upland Brewing Company Tasting Room to attend the Interpol concert at the Egyptian Room I also envision using music to eventually create a bicycle safety PSA since audiences remember messages more readily when they are attached to music

How else do you enjoy music

I really love music and always have music in my ears except when Irsquom on my bike I fall asleep and wake to music and something is always playing in the background at home when wersquore not watching TV or a movie I mainly listen to alternative jazz some folk and classical My favorite classical composer is Rachmaninoff I also attend a lot of live shows

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

Years ago when I lived in Chicago I saw Love Spit Love (a band comprised of the remaining members of The Psychedelic Furs) at Metro After the show I ended up hanging out with lead singer Richard Butler and guitarist Richard Fortus We shared beers and conversation for hours

Licensed Acupuncturist

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

How else do you enjoy music

I love to dance and especially enjoy when a DJ spins old-school hip-hop or a drummer plays the congos mdash you canrsquot help but jump up to dance and feel alive I love cooking to flamenco Bollywood and other ethnic forms of music because the energy you bring to your cooking is communicated through the food you prepare To feel sassy I love listening to a good-looking man that can sing falsetto like Justin Timberlake Adam Levine Bruno Mars Miguel and Maxwell mdash I even have a ldquoHot Guy Falsettordquo playlist To concentrate I prefer listening to classical music

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

LIVENOTE The Philadelphia Orchestra invites audience members to turn ON their phones and explore masterpieces by favorite composers during their new vibrant mid-week one hour tech savvy concert series LiveNote Nights This unique series featuring the recently launched LiveNote app engages you in an interactive and informative forum including an electrifying performance of the music

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

Fun Facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

Favorite food are you kidding I have way too many favorites but ok mdash Irsquoll say Indian cuisine

Al comienzo de mi carrera soliacutea decirle a la gente que era compositor y si me lo preguntaban soliacutea decir que era cubano Luego comenceacute a notar que su intereacutes claramente se disipaba cuando les deciacutea que componiacutea muacutesica claacutesica y no cubana Me he resistido siempre a encasillar a las personas pero por otro lado no estaba dispuesto a permitir que la muacutesica cubana dejara de ser fuente de inspiracioacuten para miacute Maacutes tarde fusioneacute estilos cubanos con algunas de mis composiciones musicales

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Hasta el momento el pico de mi carrera profesional ha sido la produccioacuten de mi oacutepera Before Night Falls [Antes Que Anochezca] a cargo del Festival de Oacutepera de Fort Worth que precisamente estaacute basada en la memoria del famoso escritor cubano disidente Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS una fundacioacuten que respalda el trabajo de los artistas de ascendencia cubana me ha premiado con dos becas y estoy orgulloso de que hayan reconocido mi trabajo

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

Always Mozart concerti and I feel relief to hear some great live jazz

iquestCoacutemo crees que ha contribuido tu trabajo al desarrollo de la comunidad hispana

He tenido contacto con la comunidad hispana pero siempre creo que como hispano debo fusionarme con la comunidad de Indianaacutepolis como artista y si esto mejora

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

In April I attended my first Museums and the Web conference in Chicago (MW2015) In addition to producing annual conferences across the globe Museums and the Web provides research archived conference presentations and an online hub for conversation and information-sharing to museumsrsquo media and technology staff

Several hundred professionals in a wide array of fields attended MW2015 Those of us working in the arts and media could greatly benefit from learning what museums are doing to successfully engage audiences My conference experience illuminated how museums are reaching new audiences and ensuring far-reaching impact in ways that can be (and should be) easily replicated by other arts organizations

1 Museums making deep investments in technology are evolving how they think about technologyrsquos role in marketing development programming visitor services finance and audience engagement With these areas improved by way of investment the audience experience and level of engagement is elevated as well

2 Added technological savvy also results in extensive growth in project management capabilities team empowerment and efficiency and cross-department (or community partner) collaborations In other words capacity is increased by way of improved efficiency and efficacy The improvements have a ripple effect well beyond technology and they infuse organizationsrsquo management helping them become more operationally nimble Museums are becoming more capable of quickly responding to community need and change

3 Museums empower audiences to not only ldquopartakerdquo but also to ldquotake partrdquo in programming through digital engagement Digital engagement is opening museums to new audiences new ideas and new revenue using

social media apps websites and in-gallery interactive experiences Engaging audiences via technology can be welcoming playful and inclusive and has positive spillover effects for these institutionsrsquo respective mindsets and relationship to the community

While technology integration is still new to some in the classical music sector there are some shining examples of ambitious digital strategy playing out successfully in the classical universe

bull The Detroit Symphony has a vision to be ldquothe most accessible orchestra on the planetrdquo and is utilizing digital engagement to drive this vision in fresh new ways

bull The New York Philharmonic is in the process of digitizing its entire physical archive making annotated scores used by legendary conductors letters among staff and donors 100 years of programs and other interesting source materials easily accessible to the public

bull The Curtis Institute of Music is enrolling tens of thousands of people in its online courses (ldquoMOOCsrdquo) that feature esteemed faculty in courses like ldquoExploring Beethoven Sonatasrdquo with pianist Jonathan Biss or ldquoThe World of the String Quartetrdquo with Arnold Steinhardt of the Guarneri Quartet

Despite these impressive examples classical musicrsquos field-wide efforts to become multi-sensory and part of the digital age donrsquot seem as innovative or as pervasive as the strategies being widely pursued in museums Audience members are hungry for more and museums (and other cultural offerings) are being transformed into more welcoming transparent and creative institutions Surely the power of music can and will venture down the same path

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Music is a significant part of the international and cultural festivals events and performances in our city The opportunities to hear live world music in Indy are amazing International music is increasing in Indy so residents donrsquot need to travel far to hear terrific new sounds and discover new instruments Mayor Ballardrsquos office has created several of these events We also promote cultural events to encourage folks to attend and discover these wonderful cultures here in our community

How else do you enjoy music

I love music When itrsquos live itrsquos even better Growing up I was fortunate to have piano and guitar lessons and I was the 1st chair saxophone in my high school band Every Sunday I enjoy singing in my church choir I enjoy many genres of music I love jazz to relax at home in the evenings I love live concerts where you can see the emotions and passion and I really enjoy performances in outdoor venues on summer evenings

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

I have many memorable musical experiences listening to music at international functions or while visiting a foreign country There is something magical when you can enjoy the pleasures of music even if you donrsquot understand the words or lyrics You are simply enjoying the music in the purest sense You can get a first-hand and genuine understanding of how music is a natural connector between cultures I remember a time sitting in a small cafeacute in southern Spain listening to a Spanish guitar group It was a small simple quaint setting filled with an intensity of culture Experiences like those are hard to beat

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

INDYCOG is a bicycle advocacy group mdash we work to make Indianapolis more bicycle friendly for recreational and transportation purposes INDYCOG promotes an active bicycle culture through its programs that focus on advocacy collaboration education and culture While listening to music while biking isnrsquot encouraged for safety reasons I try to incorporate music into our work in other ways I recently organized a bike ride starting at the Upland Brewing Company Tasting Room to attend the Interpol concert at the Egyptian Room I also envision using music to eventually create a bicycle safety PSA since audiences remember messages more readily when they are attached to music

Licensed Acupuncturist

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

CMIrsquoS ONGOING PARTNER

Scott Stulen Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance

Indianapolis Museum of Art

Time flies I have been at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for a year and a half I was hired to enliven the programming at the museum bring in new audiences and enhance the performance offerings Personally over the last eighteen months my wife and our son Erlend changed cities states jobs schools and homes and welcomed the first native Hoosier to our family with the birth of our son Oliver last December

As a musician performer and passionate hoarder of all types of recordings creating musical offerings at the center of the IMArsquos new ARTx lineup was natural To date we have hosted unique culinary and musical experiences like the Avant Brunch series diverse performances from Jazz to Indie Rock and personal DJ parties in cozy museum nooks The Autumn Equinox Community Day last September featured commissioned sound works by local artists including Stuart Hyattrsquos 75-piece electric guitar ldquobandrdquo to perform ldquoE is for Equinoxrdquo under a sculptural solar clock For this yearrsquos edition on September 19 we are commissioning new works by Seattle musician Nat Evans San Francisco artist and composer Chris Kallmyer and an immersive installation by Robin Cox (a recent Indy transplant and nationally recognized composer and violinist) along with works by Indy favorites John McCormick Jordan Munson and Michael Drews

A frequently asked question is ldquoHow do you maintain ambitious programs with limited time and resources without sacrificing quality or burning out staffrdquo The answer Build a network of equally talented partners and friends We are honored that Classical Music Indy is a core partner who shares our appetite for risk experimentation and upending the expectations of what constitutes a cultural experience While many of our joint programs are in the early stages of development we launched Mixtape Matchmaker this spring (profiled last issue) and will unveil the VINDY project this fall which will dispense local music and art via retooled vending machines mdash the first housed at the IMA Plans are in place for an ongoing partnership between CMI IMA and IUPUI to host live performances focusing on contemporary composers and experimental music We kick off with concert pianist Vicky Chow and sound artist Tristan Perich on September 11 This is just the start mdash stay tuned for big announcements We donrsquot sleep so there will be plenty of interesting things to experience in the coming months

CMI MUSICAL INNOVATION TOP PICK

LIVENOTE The Philadelphia Orchestra invites audience members to turn ON their phones and explore masterpieces by favorite composers during their new vibrant mid-week one hour tech savvy concert series LiveNote Nights This unique series featuring the recently launched LiveNote app engages you in an interactive and informative forum including an electrifying performance of the music

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

While many of us intrinsically understand that a linkage between music education and academic achievement exists numerous studies over the last decade confirm the science behind this According to study results from the Royal Academy of Music music education has vast benefits for a childrsquos cognitive development Childrenrsquos engagement in musical training not only accelerates oral language development and reading skills but aids in the development of emotional health (including empathy and social awareness) motor coordination focus and memory In fact the multisensory engagement required through learning and performing an instrument creates stronger neural connections in the brain

For our back to school segment we decided there was no better way to highlight the impact of music education than to talk to Indianapolis native Nick Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Blue Engine a Brooklyn-based educational non-profit successfully tackling the achievement gap for low-income and minority high school students

Growing up in a musical family involvement in music for Nick Ehrmann was not a question of ldquoifrdquo but ldquowhenrdquo Ehrmann colorfully describes being surrounded by music as far back as he can remember He learned from his family and through his own music-making a life of engagement with and passion for music That path led to as he puts it ldquofalling in love with music in the purest senserdquo

As early as four years old Nick would hide behind the couch fascinated by his aunt Adriana Contino practicing cello He began Suzuki method music classes around five years old He certainly learned the technical aspects of music but it was a passion for music that so quickly became instilled

Nickrsquos great-grandfather Ferruccio Corradetti was a renowned baritone and voice teacher His grandmother (Ferruciorsquos daughter) Fiora Contino was a trailblazing musician and opera conductor who studied her craft in Europe received her doctorate from the Indiana University School of Music and chaired the Universityrsquos choral department

Nickrsquos fondest memories were during his time in the New World Youth Orchestra led by Susan Kitterman He describes it as a life-changing experience through

AN INTERVIEW WITH INDY NATIVE NICK EHRMANN mdash FOUNDER AND CEO OF BLUE ENGINE

which his music-making became integral to building his educational philosophy team-building multisensory engagement integration of complex information leadership roles and the value of interdisciplinary learning These philosophies led to his founding of Blue Engine Nickrsquos organization partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare more students for post-secondary success View a summary of Blue Enginersquos transformative results at BlueEngineorgprogramimpact Even with an intensive focus on academic achievement the Blue Engine BETAs (teaching assistants assigned to each partnering school) are a highly creative bunch many of whom lead afterschool clubs encouraging studentsrsquo engagement in music and the arts through musical theater drama singing and dance Blue Engine staff members recognize that involvement in the arts is integral to academic and personal development

Blue Engine and student Estiven Rodriguez were recognized in President Obamarsquos 2014 State of the Union address Blue Enginersquos approach has been praised by Forbes Magazine The New York Times TIME magazine and The Today Show Nick personally has been a recipient of the GQ 2014 Leader Awards and GOOD Magazinersquos ldquo2014 Good 100rdquo and he was inducted into the North Central High School Hall of Fame in 2014

Blue Enginersquos transformative work inspires us at CMI to continue bringing lifelong learning opportunities through music to our own diverse communities in Indianapolis

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

ENGAGING CHILDREN IN MUSIC

TIPS FROM NICK

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

I used to play the piano and clarinet and I would like to take up piano again

How else does music play a role in your life

I like Country music Spanish music Christian music and Hip-hop

What techniques do you use to stay motivated and focused on the court

Deep breathing mdash it helps keep me calm and in the moment Short phrases like ldquostay here nowrdquo really help me focus

What is one quirky thing about you that few people know (and yoursquore willing to share)

I love to dance and sing Irsquom not good at either but I enjoy both

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

We are often told that a caring community is essential to maximizing childrenrsquos growth and learning but we seldom hear how that caring environment can be accomplished A ldquoCulture of Caringrdquo is not just an educational philosophy but a means of fostering an open accepting and inclusive environment

These communities donrsquot just happen Instead they must be carefully and intentionally developed over time The process begins with dedicating oneself to skills like attentive listening mutual respect the right to pass (declining to personally share on occasion) and expressing appreciations while avoiding ldquoput-downsrdquo If we all could adhere to such assurances these simple expectations could be very powerful in developing a culture of caring in any community

A positive school culture is characterized by the ease with which students interact with adults In this environment a culture of respect and equality exists among students between adults and students and among adults It involves allowing students to have a voice and ensuring leadership and lifelong learning is promoted for all Teamwork reflection and open honest communication are critical elements

Another key to constructing a caring community is changing ldquoat riskrdquo studentsrsquo framework to ldquoat promiserdquo meaning that the students focus less on risk and challenge and more on their promise and potential Everyone needs to know that someone is in his or her corner and is ready to provide support encouragement and motivation

Finally all members of the community have to be authentically engaged Learning through the arts is a perfect vehicle for that For an example of the arts being used as a means of delivering an engaged and powerful message visit wwwengageinchangecom and watch the video entitled ldquoEngage in Changerdquo written and performed by Indy-based singer-songwriter Chad Mills For more information regarding positive school cultures visit wwwtribescom

CREATING A TRUE LEARNING COMMUNITY

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

Years ago when I lived in Chicago I saw Love Spit Love (a band comprised of the remaining members of The Psychedelic Furs) at Metro After the show I ended up hanging out with lead singer Richard Butler and guitarist Richard Fortus We shared beers and conversation for hours

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

How else do you enjoy music

I love to dance and especially enjoy when a DJ spins old-school hip-hop or a drummer plays the congos mdash you canrsquot help but jump up to dance and feel alive I love cooking to flamenco Bollywood and other ethnic forms of music because the energy you bring to your cooking is communicated through the food you prepare To feel sassy I love listening to a good-looking man that can sing falsetto like Justin Timberlake Adam Levine Bruno Mars Miguel and Maxwell mdash I even have a ldquoHot Guy Falsettordquo playlist To concentrate I prefer listening to classical music

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart

Throughout 20 years of teaching and deeply impacting the lives of countless teens as an assistant principal and principal in the Indianapolis Public Schools Bob Guffin knows a thing or two about the influence culture and a sense of place have on studentsrsquo abilities to succeed Among his career achievements Guffin was responsible for the transformative reversal of HL Harshman

Magnet Middle School from a failing school to a model program for student achievement During his time as Harshman Principal over ninety percent of his students were living in low-income households and eighty-two percent were minority students who frequently suffered from cultural underrepresentation Guffin understands the achievement gap that exists for minority students and has a true gift for creating a school community where all students have the chance to achieve academically while exploring diverse creative pursuits Here he shares with us the key tenants to culturally inclusive learning environments and why this matters

RESPECT STUDENT INDIVIDUALITY An environment that honors individuals sends an underlying message that where you come from what you bring with you and those who nurture you are important A consistent message that you are valued special and respected must exist

HONOR PARENTS Respect and appreciate the voices of those who bring the students to the school community Teachers and school leaders need to share a common goal with parents and guardians and commit together

to advance each studentrsquos learning and development Secondly set the expectations of students that they also honor the voices of their parents and respect their familyrsquos hopes and dreams for them

DIVERSIFY CURRICULUM Supplement the traditional curriculum with reading materials and assignments that reflect the cultural makeup of students

DIVERSIFY STAFF A culturally diverse staff reflective of the diversity within the student body enhances the school community and class conversations with a multitude of viewpoints and cultural perspectives

CREATE MULTICULTURAL RECOGNITION Celebrate important cultural events with the students and ensure community-wide awareness of significant historical and contemporary events Small recognitions to school-wide celebrations help build multicultural recognition but respect for a multitude of cultures needs to extend beyond ldquowhat we dordquo and be ldquowho we arerdquo

INFUSE SCHOOL CULTURE WITH DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THE ARTS Music and the arts support the creative expression of individuals sustain varied cultural heritage and provide fun and dynamic ways to engage students and further promote cultural diversity As Guffin says ldquoGreat arts teachers promote a disciplined effort from their students and provide positive frameworks for each to create their successful enterpriserdquo The teamwork and collaborative efforts required for musical performance and art exhibits allow students the chance to be part of something greater than themselves Opportunities to attend professional musical performances in the community result in an awareness of the effort required for quality work and exposure to new great styles of music Studentsrsquo cultural heritages are enriched through involvement in the arts As appreciation of the arts grows so do the individualsrsquo understandings of their own cultural backgrounds and the vital role this plays in a healthy diverse community

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

Always Mozart concerti and I feel relief to hear some great live jazz

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianista Profesor de Muacutesica de la Universidad de Indianaacutepolis

iquestCoacutemo ha influido el trasfondo cultural en tu carrera profesional

Siempre he sentido que mi punto de vista diferente sobre lo que la expresividad la disciplina y la apreciacioacuten de las oportunidades significan estaacute relacionado con mi trasfondo cultural

iquestCoacutemo crees que ha contribuido tu trabajo al desarrollo de la comunidad hispana

He tenido contacto con la comunidad hispana pero siempre creo que como hispano debo fusionarme con la comunidad de Indianaacutepolis como artista y si esto mejora

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

Al comienzo de mi carrera soliacutea decirle a la gente que era compositor y si me lo preguntaban soliacutea decir que era cubano Luego comenceacute a notar que su intereacutes claramente se disipaba cuando les deciacutea que componiacutea muacutesica claacutesica y no cubana Me he resistido siempre a encasillar a las personas pero por otro lado no estaba dispuesto a permitir que la muacutesica cubana dejara de ser fuente de inspiracioacuten para miacute Maacutes tarde fusioneacute estilos cubanos con algunas de mis composiciones musicales

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Hasta el momento el pico de mi carrera profesional ha sido la produccioacuten de mi oacutepera Before Night Falls [Antes Que Anochezca] a cargo del Festival de Oacutepera de Fort Worth que precisamente estaacute basada en la memoria del famoso escritor cubano disidente Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS una fundacioacuten que respalda el trabajo de los artistas de ascendencia cubana me ha premiado con dos becas y estoy orgulloso de que hayan reconocido mi trabajo

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

I love music When itrsquos live itrsquos even better Growing up I was fortunate to have piano and guitar lessons and I was the 1st chair saxophone in my high school band Every Sunday I enjoy singing in my church choir I enjoy many genres of music I love jazz to relax at home in the evenings I love live concerts where you can see the emotions and passion and I really enjoy performances in outdoor venues on summer evenings

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

I have many memorable musical experiences listening to music at international functions or while visiting a foreign country There is something magical when you can enjoy the pleasures of music even if you donrsquot understand the words or lyrics You are simply enjoying the music in the purest sense You can get a first-hand and genuine understanding of how music is a natural connector between cultures I remember a time sitting in a small cafeacute in southern Spain listening to a Spanish guitar group It was a small simple quaint setting filled with an intensity of culture Experiences like those are hard to beat

ANYEacute CARSONPruning Coordinator Keep Indianapolis Beautiful

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music in your work

I worked for Keep Indianapolis Beautiful for six years as a Youth Tree Team member and became Pruning Coordinator in March Through the years music has been a big part of my work environment I like to sing songs when I am working outside or freestyle to whatever task I am doing that day at work

How else do you enjoy music

I listen to music more than I watch television I clean drive run and sometimes even fall asleep listening to music My family is music oriented my mother worked for a music company when I was younger and my father is a disc jockey I also think listening to music while eating makes the meal a lot more enjoyable

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

Recently I got to see Rihanna perform for free at White River State Park I never thought I would be able to see her in concert let alone for free It was awesome singing along with her and the crowd It was an experience I will never forget

KEVIN WHITEDExecutive Director INDYCOG

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

INDYCOG is a bicycle advocacy group mdash we work to make Indianapolis more bicycle friendly for recreational and transportation purposes INDYCOG promotes an active bicycle culture through its programs that focus on advocacy collaboration education and culture While listening to music while biking isnrsquot encouraged for safety reasons I try to incorporate music into our work in other ways I recently organized a bike ride starting at the Upland Brewing Company Tasting Room to attend the Interpol concert at the Egyptian Room I also envision using music to eventually create a bicycle safety PSA since audiences remember messages more readily when they are attached to music

How else do you enjoy music

I really love music and always have music in my ears except when Irsquom on my bike I fall asleep and wake to music and something is always playing in the background at home when wersquore not watching TV or a movie I mainly listen to alternative jazz some folk and classical My favorite classical composer is Rachmaninoff I also attend a lot of live shows

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

Years ago when I lived in Chicago I saw Love Spit Love (a band comprised of the remaining members of The Psychedelic Furs) at Metro After the show I ended up hanging out with lead singer Richard Butler and guitarist Richard Fortus We shared beers and conversation for hours

Licensed Acupuncturist

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

How else do you enjoy music

I love to dance and especially enjoy when a DJ spins old-school hip-hop or a drummer plays the congos mdash you canrsquot help but jump up to dance and feel alive I love cooking to flamenco Bollywood and other ethnic forms of music because the energy you bring to your cooking is communicated through the food you prepare To feel sassy I love listening to a good-looking man that can sing falsetto like Justin Timberlake Adam Levine Bruno Mars Miguel and Maxwell mdash I even have a ldquoHot Guy Falsettordquo playlist To concentrate I prefer listening to classical music

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart

Are you a musician or have you ever played an instrument

I canrsquot imagine my life without music I taught myself to play the piano I wish I could sing well My sister can

What techniques do you use to stay motivated and focused on the court

I use affirmations keywords and visualization

I write take photos read and listen to music I love to make movies and scrapbooks on my computer

What is one quirky thing about you that few people know (and yoursquore willing to share)

When I was in 5th grade I learned how to code HTML and design my own website I did a blueprint of my dream house

LAUREN DAVISAre you a musician or have you ever played an instrument

I used to play the piano and clarinet and I would like to take up piano again

How else does music play a role in your life

I like Country music Spanish music Christian music and Hip-hop

What techniques do you use to stay motivated and focused on the court

Deep breathing mdash it helps keep me calm and in the moment Short phrases like ldquostay here nowrdquo really help me focus

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

Aproximadamente el 10 de la poblacioacuten de Indianaacutepolis es de origen hispan o latino Las escenas y los sonidos latinos encontraron su lugar en el lado occidental de la ciudad El aacuterea de Lafayette Square conocida comuacutenmente como el ldquoMercado Internacionalrdquo cobra vida por las noches transformaacutendose en un mundo latino de muacutesica y comidas Indiana puede encontrarse alejada de los paiacuteses natales de nuestros residentes de origen hispano pero la cultura latina ha llegado bailando a nuestros espacios y escenarios Para celebrar el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana les hice una entrevista a Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando y Camille Zamora y descubriacute coacutemo sus raiacuteces han inspirado sus trabajos y conformado sus objetivos de vida

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

Always Mozart concerti and I feel relief to hear some great live jazz

iquestCoacutemo crees que ha contribuido tu trabajo al desarrollo de la comunidad hispana

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Classical Music Indy (CMI) works passionately to connect with diverse communities While not always an easy task we believe it is essential to make classical music relevant and culturally inclusive CMIrsquos recently awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant will be used for our Music Unites suite of programs that reach communities in need of greater cultural engagement and recognition In honor of National Hispanic Heritage month we connected with a few movers and shakers in the local and national music scene Music like life is better when we embrace more than just the familiar Enjoy learning about these amazing music-makers

National Hispanic Heritage Month observed from September 15 to October 15 is a time to celebrate those in our community whose histories and cultures stem from Spain Mexico the Caribbean and Central and South America Traditional foods dancing and clothing with dazzling colors are just part of the celebration itrsquos also a time to remember those who have helped build our country and reflect on issues like immigration that remain unresolved

Almost 10 of Indyrsquos population is of a Hispanic or Latin origin Latin sights and sounds have found a home on Indyrsquos Westside The Lafayette Square area commonly referred to as the ldquoInternational Marketplacerdquo comes alive at night transforming into a Latin world of music and food Indiana may be far away from the countries of our Hispanic residentsrsquo origin but Latin culture has danced its way into our venues and onto our stages To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month I talked with Jorge Martiacuten Eugenio Urrutia Borlando and Camille Zamora and learned how their backgrounds have inspired their work and shaped their purpose in life

Classical Music Indy (CMI) trabaja con pasioacuten para establecer contacto con diversas comunidades Aunque no siempre es tarea sencilla creemos que es esencial lograr que la muacutesica claacutesica se vuelva un tema relevante que permita contemplar la diversidad cultural La beca del Fondo Nacional para las Artes recientemente otorgada a CMI se utilizaraacute para nuestra serie de programas Music Unites [La Muacutesica Une] destinados a llegar a las comunidades con mayores necesidades de compromiso y reconocimiento cultural En honor al Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana nos contactamos con algunos de los artistas maacutes influyentes de la muacutesica local y nacional La muacutesica al igual que la vida es mejor cuando trascendemos los liacutemites de aquello que nos resulta familiar iexclDisfrutemos de aprender sobre estos asombrosos compositores

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

Fun Facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

iquestCoacutemo ha influido el trasfondo cultural en tu carrera profesional

Al comienzo de mi carrera soliacutea decirle a la gente que era compositor y si me lo preguntaban soliacutea decir que era cubano Luego comenceacute a notar que su intereacutes claramente se disipaba cuando les deciacutea que componiacutea muacutesica claacutesica y no cubana Me he resistido siempre a encasillar a las personas pero por otro lado no estaba dispuesto a permitir que la muacutesica cubana dejara de ser fuente de inspiracioacuten para miacute Maacutes tarde fusioneacute estilos cubanos con algunas de mis composiciones musicales

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Hasta el momento el pico de mi carrera profesional ha sido la produccioacuten de mi oacutepera Before Night Falls [Antes Que Anochezca] a cargo del Festival de Oacutepera de Fort Worth que precisamente estaacute basada en la memoria del famoso escritor cubano disidente Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS una fundacioacuten que respalda el trabajo de los artistas de ascendencia cubana me ha premiado con dos becas y estoy orgulloso de que hayan reconocido mi trabajo

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

Always Mozart concerti and I feel relief to hear some great live jazz

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianista Profesor de Muacutesica de la Universidad de Indianaacutepolis

iquestCoacutemo ha influido el trasfondo cultural en tu carrera profesional

Siempre he sentido que mi punto de vista diferente sobre lo que la expresividad la disciplina y la apreciacioacuten de las oportunidades significan estaacute relacionado con mi trasfondo cultural

iquestCoacutemo crees que ha contribuido tu trabajo al desarrollo de la comunidad hispana

He tenido contacto con la comunidad hispana pero siempre creo que como hispano debo fusionarme con la comunidad de Indianaacutepolis como artista y si esto mejora

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

JORGE MARTIacuteNInternationally Renowned Composer

How has your cultural background influenced your career

At the beginning of my career Irsquod tell people I was a composer and when asked Irsquod answer I was from Cuba Then I saw their interest visibly die when I said I wrote concert music not ldquoCubanrdquo music Irsquove always resisted pigeonholing but on the other hand I did not want to be kept from using Cuban music as an inspiration Later I integrated Cuban styles into some of my music

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

The peak of my professional career thus far has been the production by the Fort Worth Opera Festival of my opera Before Night Falls which as it happens is based on the memoir of the famous Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS a foundation supporting the work of artists of Cuban lineage has awarded me with two fellowships and I am proud of their recognition of my art

Fun Facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

Favorite food are you kidding I have way too many favorites but ok mdash Irsquoll say Indian cuisine

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

JORGE MARTIacuteNCompositor

iquestCoacutemo ha influido el trasfondo cultural en tu carrera profesional

Al comienzo de mi carrera soliacutea decirle a la gente que era compositor y si me lo preguntaban soliacutea decir que era cubano Luego comenceacute a notar que su intereacutes claramente se disipaba cuando les deciacutea que componiacutea muacutesica claacutesica y no cubana Me he resistido siempre a encasillar a las personas pero por otro lado no estaba dispuesto a permitir que la muacutesica cubana dejara de ser fuente de inspiracioacuten para miacute Maacutes tarde fusioneacute estilos cubanos con algunas de mis composiciones musicales

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Hasta el momento el pico de mi carrera profesional ha sido la produccioacuten de mi oacutepera Before Night Falls [Antes Que Anochezca] a cargo del Festival de Oacutepera de Fort Worth que precisamente estaacute basada en la memoria del famoso escritor cubano disidente Reinaldo Arenas CINTAS una fundacioacuten que respalda el trabajo de los artistas de ascendencia cubana me ha premiado con dos becas y estoy orgulloso de que hayan reconocido mi trabajo

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

Always Mozart concerti and I feel relief to hear some great live jazz

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianista Profesor de Muacutesica de la Universidad de Indianaacutepolis

iquestCoacutemo ha influido el trasfondo cultural en tu carrera profesional

Siempre he sentido que mi punto de vista diferente sobre lo que la expresividad la disciplina y la apreciacioacuten de las oportunidades significan estaacute relacionado con mi trasfondo cultural

iquestCoacutemo crees que ha contribuido tu trabajo al desarrollo de la comunidad hispana

He tenido contacto con la comunidad hispana pero siempre creo que como hispano debo fusionarme con la comunidad de Indianaacutepolis como artista y si esto mejora

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

EUGENIO URRUTIA BORLANDOPianist University of Indianapolis Professor of Music

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I have always felt that my different view on what is expressiveness discipline and the appreciation of opportunities is related to my cultural background

How do you think your work has contributed to the Hispanic community

I have had some contact to the Hispanic community but I also believe that as a Hispanic I must blend into the community of Indianapolis as an artist and if that enhances the presence of the Latino community in a positive way then I feel proud to give my best both as a musician and as a resident

What do you hope to teach your music students about Hispanic art music etc

I am always aiming to teach something that is new to them Articulation the influence of language and literature the influence of Latin art of food and how as much as we are culturally different we aim for the same beauty in our art and lifestyle

What are some of your major professional accomplishments

I believe that every concert is crucial For respect to the audience and my colleagues I make it a point that it has to be very important to give a great musical experience I will never forget performing in Germany or in Russia simply because of the audiencersquos cultural knowledge but I have had wonderful concerts with amazing musicians in many parts of the world

Whatrsquos a fond Indianapolis music memory

The premiere of Juan Orrego-Salasrsquos Piano Quintet and the performance of Brahmsrsquos First with the Butler Symphony under Stanley DeRusha are fond memories Clowes Hall was packed I was shocked to walk on stage at such a young age

Fun Facts Favorite food

I love Italian food and seafood from Chile

Favorite music

Always Mozart concerti and I feel relief to hear some great live jazz

Siempre he sentido que mi punto de vista diferente sobre lo que la expresividad la disciplina y la apreciacioacuten de las oportunidades significan estaacute relacionado con mi trasfondo cultural

iquestCoacutemo crees que ha contribuido tu trabajo al desarrollo de la comunidad hispana

He tenido contacto con la comunidad hispana pero siempre creo que como hispano debo fusionarme con la comunidad de Indianaacutepolis como artista y si esto mejora

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

I remember growing up in Haiti as a little girl and watching huge crowds of people marching by our house once a year during carnival season I tried to join the crowd but my grandmother never allowed me to do so The costumes and the loud music were absolutely enticing and all participants seemed genuinely happy I really wanted to join the crowd and dance the night away

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

I have many memorable musical experiences listening to music at international functions or while visiting a foreign country There is something magical when you can enjoy the pleasures of music even if you donrsquot understand the words or lyrics You are simply enjoying the music in the purest sense You can get a first-hand and genuine understanding of how music is a natural connector between cultures I remember a time sitting in a small cafeacute in southern Spain listening to a Spanish guitar group It was a small simple quaint setting filled with an intensity of culture Experiences like those are hard to beat

How else do you enjoy music

I listen to music more than I watch television I clean drive run and sometimes even fall asleep listening to music My family is music oriented my mother worked for a music company when I was younger and my father is a disc jockey I also think listening to music while eating makes the meal a lot more enjoyable

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

INDYCOG is a bicycle advocacy group mdash we work to make Indianapolis more bicycle friendly for recreational and transportation purposes INDYCOG promotes an active bicycle culture through its programs that focus on advocacy collaboration education and culture While listening to music while biking isnrsquot encouraged for safety reasons I try to incorporate music into our work in other ways I recently organized a bike ride starting at the Upland Brewing Company Tasting Room to attend the Interpol concert at the Egyptian Room I also envision using music to eventually create a bicycle safety PSA since audiences remember messages more readily when they are attached to music

How else do you enjoy music

I really love music and always have music in my ears except when Irsquom on my bike I fall asleep and wake to music and something is always playing in the background at home when wersquore not watching TV or a movie I mainly listen to alternative jazz some folk and classical My favorite classical composer is Rachmaninoff I also attend a lot of live shows

Licensed Acupuncturist

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

How else do you enjoy music

I love to dance and especially enjoy when a DJ spins old-school hip-hop or a drummer plays the congos mdash you canrsquot help but jump up to dance and feel alive I love cooking to flamenco Bollywood and other ethnic forms of music because the energy you bring to your cooking is communicated through the food you prepare To feel sassy I love listening to a good-looking man that can sing falsetto like Justin Timberlake Adam Levine Bruno Mars Miguel and Maxwell mdash I even have a ldquoHot Guy Falsettordquo playlist To concentrate I prefer listening to classical music

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart

AN INTERVIEW WITH

KYLE LONGDJ FOUNDER OF CULTURAL CANNIBALSGrowing up in the Indianapolis suburbs during the lsquo90s was like being in a cultural vacuum Desperate for cultural stimuli I discovered public radio and the public library early on Through these I developed an addiction to hearing unfamiliar sounds My interest in a particular genre or regional music style would ultimately lead me into a deeper investigation of the culture and history behind the sounds

Today I have strong partnerships with Hispanic groups like the Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance perform at events in our Hispanic community and report (through NUVO) on the significant contributions Latinos are making to Hoosier culture I hope my NUVO column provides an accurate representation of the full spectrum of Indianapolis music Therersquos a robust immigrant music culture here that deserves attention from the local music press I frequently cover events happening within the Asian African and Latin American communities of Indianapolis For me itrsquos not only important to convey the importance of a specific artist or music tradition to readers I also feel a responsibility to comment on broader social issues that may intersect with a particular topic

la presencia de la comunidad latina de manera positiva entonces me siento orgulloso de dar lo mejor como muacutesico y como residente de la ciudad al mismo tiempo

iquestCoacutemo esperas ensentildearles a tus alumnos de muacutesica sobre el arte hispaacutenico la muacutesica hispaacutenica etc

Siempre intento ensentildearles algo que sea nuevo para ellos La articulacioacuten la influencia del idioma y la literatura la influencia del arte latino de la comida y coacutemo aunque existe diversidad cultural todos buscamos la belleza en nuestras obras y estilos de vida

iquestCuaacuteles son algunos de tus mayores logros profesionales

Creo que cada concierto es clave Por respeto a la audiencia y a mis colegas destaco que debe ser muy importante brindar una experiencia musical grandiosa Nunca olvidareacute mis presentaciones en Alemania o en Rusia por el simple hecho de los conocimientos culturales de los que estaacute dotada la audiencia pero he dado maravillosos conciertos con excelentes muacutesicos en muchas partes del mundo

iquestQueacute recuerdo agradable tienes de la muacutesica de Indianaacutepolis

El estreno del Quinteto para Piano de Juan Orrego-Salas y el show en el que interpretamos la Primera Sinfoniacutea de Brahms con la orquesta sinfoacutenica de Butler bajo la direccioacuten de Stanley DeRusha sin recuerdos muy gratos Clowes Hall estaba repleto de gente Me sentiacute conmocionado al salir a escena siendo tan joven

Algunos datos curiosos iquestCuaacutel es tu comida favorita

Amo la comida italiana y los mariscos chilenos

iquestCuaacutel es tu muacutesica favorita

Los conciertos de Mozart siempre y me hace sentir relajado escuchar buen jazz en vivo

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

CAMILLE ZAMORAOpera Singer Founder of Sing for Hope

How has your cultural background influenced your career

I think my passion for music is in many ways really rooted in my Hispanic heritage Some of my earliest musical memories are of singing songs with my dad and his beloved guitar mdash Spanish classics ranging from the ridiculous ldquoiexclNo me mates con tomate maacutetame con bacalao [Do not kill me with tomatoes kill me with cod]rdquo to the sublime Lorcarsquos folk songs For me there is something innately musical about the Spanish language mdash a certain lyricism and kind of poetic ease Of course this is the sensibility that I tap into when I am singing Zarzuela and Hispanic repertoire

How do you think your performanceswork with the arts have contributed to the Hispanic community

Irsquod like to think I have made a contribution to the Hispanic community in a couple of ways First I have made the exploration of lesser-known Spanish repertoire a constant throughout my career Secondly in my role as Co-Founder of Sing for Hope I have been fortunate enough to be involved in bringing dynamic arts educational programming to under-resourced Latino youth throughout the five boroughs of New York City

Fun facts Whatrsquos your favorite food

I have a major sweet tooth Pastel de tres leches [three milk cake] is my all-time fave

Whatrsquos your favorite song right now

I am preparing a concert of the music of Enrique Granados right now and am obsessed with his Canciones Amatorias [Love Songs] mdash perfect little songs with the delicacy and luminosity of a Renaissance painting

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

I remember growing up in Haiti as a little girl and watching huge crowds of people marching by our house once a year during carnival season I tried to join the crowd but my grandmother never allowed me to do so The costumes and the loud music were absolutely enticing and all participants seemed genuinely happy I really wanted to join the crowd and dance the night away

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

I have many memorable musical experiences listening to music at international functions or while visiting a foreign country There is something magical when you can enjoy the pleasures of music even if you donrsquot understand the words or lyrics You are simply enjoying the music in the purest sense You can get a first-hand and genuine understanding of how music is a natural connector between cultures I remember a time sitting in a small cafeacute in southern Spain listening to a Spanish guitar group It was a small simple quaint setting filled with an intensity of culture Experiences like those are hard to beat

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

INDYCOG is a bicycle advocacy group mdash we work to make Indianapolis more bicycle friendly for recreational and transportation purposes INDYCOG promotes an active bicycle culture through its programs that focus on advocacy collaboration education and culture While listening to music while biking isnrsquot encouraged for safety reasons I try to incorporate music into our work in other ways I recently organized a bike ride starting at the Upland Brewing Company Tasting Room to attend the Interpol concert at the Egyptian Room I also envision using music to eventually create a bicycle safety PSA since audiences remember messages more readily when they are attached to music

Licensed Acupuncturist

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

How else do you enjoy music

I love to dance and especially enjoy when a DJ spins old-school hip-hop or a drummer plays the congos mdash you canrsquot help but jump up to dance and feel alive I love cooking to flamenco Bollywood and other ethnic forms of music because the energy you bring to your cooking is communicated through the food you prepare To feel sassy I love listening to a good-looking man that can sing falsetto like Justin Timberlake Adam Levine Bruno Mars Miguel and Maxwell mdash I even have a ldquoHot Guy Falsettordquo playlist To concentrate I prefer listening to classical music

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart

As a Haitian-American woman music plays a major role in my daily life When hanging out with friends I often listen to Kompa a form of Haitian music characterized by its steady brass orchestra that maintains a danceable beat a big band feel and a solid melody I also listen to many other genres depending on my mood

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

I remember growing up in Haiti as a little girl and watching huge crowds of people marching by our house once a year during carnival season I tried to join the crowd but my grandmother never allowed me to do so The costumes and the loud music were absolutely enticing and all participants seemed genuinely happy I really wanted to join the crowd and dance the night away

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart

ANYEacute CARSONPruning Coordinator Keep Indianapolis Beautiful

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music in your work

I worked for Keep Indianapolis Beautiful for six years as a Youth Tree Team member and became Pruning Coordinator in March Through the years music has been a big part of my work environment I like to sing songs when I am working outside or freestyle to whatever task I am doing that day at work

How else do you enjoy music

I listen to music more than I watch television I clean drive run and sometimes even fall asleep listening to music My family is music oriented my mother worked for a music company when I was younger and my father is a disc jockey I also think listening to music while eating makes the meal a lot more enjoyable

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

Recently I got to see Rihanna perform for free at White River State Park I never thought I would be able to see her in concert let alone for free It was awesome singing along with her and the crowd It was an experience I will never forget

KEVIN WHITEDExecutive Director INDYCOG

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

INDYCOG is a bicycle advocacy group mdash we work to make Indianapolis more bicycle friendly for recreational and transportation purposes INDYCOG promotes an active bicycle culture through its programs that focus on advocacy collaboration education and culture While listening to music while biking isnrsquot encouraged for safety reasons I try to incorporate music into our work in other ways I recently organized a bike ride starting at the Upland Brewing Company Tasting Room to attend the Interpol concert at the Egyptian Room I also envision using music to eventually create a bicycle safety PSA since audiences remember messages more readily when they are attached to music

How else do you enjoy music

I really love music and always have music in my ears except when Irsquom on my bike I fall asleep and wake to music and something is always playing in the background at home when wersquore not watching TV or a movie I mainly listen to alternative jazz some folk and classical My favorite classical composer is Rachmaninoff I also attend a lot of live shows

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

Years ago when I lived in Chicago I saw Love Spit Love (a band comprised of the remaining members of The Psychedelic Furs) at Metro After the show I ended up hanging out with lead singer Richard Butler and guitarist Richard Fortus We shared beers and conversation for hours

Licensed Acupuncturist

Tell us about the work you do and how you involve music

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

How else do you enjoy music

I love to dance and especially enjoy when a DJ spins old-school hip-hop or a drummer plays the congos mdash you canrsquot help but jump up to dance and feel alive I love cooking to flamenco Bollywood and other ethnic forms of music because the energy you bring to your cooking is communicated through the food you prepare To feel sassy I love listening to a good-looking man that can sing falsetto like Justin Timberlake Adam Levine Bruno Mars Miguel and Maxwell mdash I even have a ldquoHot Guy Falsettordquo playlist To concentrate I prefer listening to classical music

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart

Specializing in womenrsquos issues sports medicine and facial rejuvenation I focus on searching for patterns that create pain stress illness or disease and use various modalities to bring the body back to balance Music plays a huge role as a therapeutic tool in my practice I find that classical music and nature sounds calm the mind and invite the opportunity for my patients to relax I have seen people match their breath to the sound of waves or release emotional tension to the melody of a piano or violin I enjoy performing massage techniques to the flow of a song because it helps me deliver a more fluid treatment as if I am dancing with my hands To me music is a powerful vibrational medicine

How else do you enjoy music

I love to dance and especially enjoy when a DJ spins old-school hip-hop or a drummer plays the congos mdash you canrsquot help but jump up to dance and feel alive I love cooking to flamenco Bollywood and other ethnic forms of music because the energy you bring to your cooking is communicated through the food you prepare To feel sassy I love listening to a good-looking man that can sing falsetto like Justin Timberlake Adam Levine Bruno Mars Miguel and Maxwell mdash I even have a ldquoHot Guy Falsettordquo playlist To concentrate I prefer listening to classical music

Tell us about your most memorable musical experience

It was autumn and I was driving with friends in Napa Valley After tons of laughs jokes stories and upbeat music I requested to hear the song ldquoCountryrdquo by Empire of the Sun Everyone sat back and quietly appreciated the beauty of the trees changing colors amidst the green grass and beautiful vineyards It was magical as if we were in our own Technicolor movie When I remember moments like this the music still plays on in my heart
