on-campus library privileges. His
dad, Leon Burke Jr., a special-
education teacher and eventually, a
job-placement consultant, stressedthe value of education, too.
As a teen, Burke enrolled at
Clayton’s Mark Twain Summer
Institute for gifted youngsters. He
took both science (“I wanted to design
spaceships”) and music. For the
latter, Schatzkamer was his teacher.
Forever after, the musical
backdrop of Burke’s life would be
expanded. Although raised on jazz
recordings by a dad who’d played
saxophone at Sumner High School,
the younger Burke fell in love
with the classics, with Beethoven,
Bach, Stravinsky and others, whose
recordings he bought and whose
scores he rapturously followed.
As a requirement for campgraduation, Schatzkamer made each
student conduct “The Star-Spangled
Banner.”
Burke excelled, to the extent that
Schatzkamer told him: “You have aair for conducting.”
“Thank you,” an energized Burke
replied, then dashed to Washington
University, where he proceeded to
devour the contents of “every book on
orchestral conducting, on conducting
period. I read them from cover to
cover.”
While the Burke family lived in
the city, Leon attended McBride High
School. The family moved not long
before the school was shuttered in themid-‘70s, to unincorporated St. Louis
County. There, Burke went to John
Burroughs School.
With a straight-A average, perfect
SAT exam scores, steady rounds of
piano lessons, classes and a position
as keyboardist for the St. Louis
Symphony Youth Orchestra, Burke
also had a singular accomplishment.
He had composed and orchestrated
his own symphony, which Leonard
Slatkin, then with the youth
orchestra and later, maestro of the
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, had
him conduct.
Paraguay BeckonsHeady stuff, for sure, but not
enough to keep Burke in St. Louis,
at least not then. Instead, he wentto Oberlin Conservatory of Music
in Ohio and earned a doctorate in
music at University of Kansas. As
a Fulbright Fellow, he studied in
Paraguay.
All this despite warnings, perhaps
to test his resolve, from mentor
Schatzkamer: Don’t go into music. It’s
a terrible life. You don’t make money.
Now, fast-forward to today. Mar-
ried 25 years to Olivia Burke and
with three daughters, Burke has onhis resume, along with the non-prot
University City symphony: conductor
of the Belleville Philharmonic Youth
Orchestra, assistant director of the
St. Louis Symphony Chorus, choir di-rector at Kirkwood’s Eliot Unitarian,
a cover conductor for the St. Louis
Symphony, voice and music teacher
and, not long ago, bass soloist for
Handel’s “Messiah” in Harvard, Mass.
Oh, he also plays piano and organ,
and sings at weddings and funerals.
Is this the “terrible life,” worsened
by dwindling funding sources
and greater need for grants and
donations, that he’d been warned
about? Not at all, laughs Burke,
at which point he’s out the door,
relishing the thought of four hours of
teaching, to be followed by a two-hour
rehearsal.
Maestro Leon Burke III and the University City Symphony Orchestra rehearse
for the March 6 “The Seeds Continue to Flower” concert.
