Beginning with the 2015-2016 sea-son, the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra embarks on a three-year journey around the world. Each of the concerts will feature music from a different country

or world cul-tural center. They strive to engage and educate a u d i e n c e s through per-formances of music of var-ious styles, periods, and c o m p o s -ers. Their u p c o m i n g season will also feature

a mixture of genres that include sympho-nies, concertos, opera, and educational concerts.  Patrons are cordially invited to attend their pre-concert talks, where music patrons can learn about circum-stances and influences that shaped the works performed at the concert.

They begin the season with music of the three giants representing Classical period and First Viennese School - Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven. On the program are Haydn’s Clock symphony #101, Beethoven’s Eroica symphony and Mozart Piano concerto K 466 in d-minor will feature pianist Angela Kim.

Their second concert is dedicated to their young audiences and well known story of Peter and the Wolf (music by Prokofiev). On the program is also an instructional piece demonstrating how the orchestra works titled Upfront Concerto by Gwyneth Walker.

Their traditional Messiah performance in December will also feature music of Ralph Vaughan Williams (Fantasia on Greensleeves), and Lux Aeterna by Morten Lauridsen.

In the Spring the GLCO will cheer the audiences with music from Italy, namely Four Seasons violin concertos by Vivaldi and Suite III of Ancient Dances and Airs by Ottorino Respighi. To fin-ish the season with a “fanfare,” they will stage a well know opera by Bizet,

The Technology Committee has been developing an equipment inventory (computers, fax machines, printers, etc.) and a management process this summer. This should help us manage Bay View’s technology (and human) resources more effectively in the future. As part of this project, we wanted to clarify that the Association will no longer accept donations of used computers, printers, and other technology equipment. As you clean out your cottage and identify computer, electronics or other items you no longer need, you can take them to the Emmet County Transfer Station on Pleasantview Road. Here’s their website if you’d like more information: http://www.emmetrecycling.org/what-can-i-do-with/electronics-batteries-and-bulbs/

The Town Crier

As my fourth summer as Director of Worship and Religious Life nears its end, I feel good about what was for me at least the most stimulating summer I have experienced so far. It was a sum-mer when each of the program areas seemed to complement the others. I even got to make my debut on the Bay View Stage playing Bishop Wade in the Hall Auditorium celebration and J. P. Morgan in Ragtime. The lecturers and preachers brought us a wide variety of issues and perspectives to ponder and challenge

us. In worship, we were blessed by our first worship intern, Gina Robinson, from Candler School of Theology,- who shared meaningful children’s sermons and worked closely with our program-ming for children and youth. The music in worship ranged from classical to tradi-tional favorite hymns to global Christian music.

It was a summer where I had a chance to function as not only a director, but as a pastor, ministering in times of loss, making hospital visits, and performing a wedding. I have always considered it a holy privilege when people let me share significant moments in their lives either joyful or difficult. One powerful oppor-tunity came when one of our preacher/lecturers, Rev. Wanda Craner and I offered an afternoon healing service with opportunity for anointing and laying on

of hands. It was deeply moving for both of us as Crouse Chapel was filled with music, people, prayers and the powerful presence of the Spirit.

While the lectures have come to an end, two more worship services remain, August 30th and September 6th, with the Rev. Jack Harnish and the Rev. Earl Dunbar preaching. I will be returning to Pennsylvania following the service on August 30th. Both my wife, Margaret, and I are very grateful for your prayers, cards and gestures of concern during her recent surgery. She wanted me to let you all know she is doing well thanks in no small measure to your caring. Thank you all for your support of the 2015 season and I look forward to many rich times in the days to come.

Blessings, Pastor Daniel

Season’s Ending Thoughts

Voices Without Borders: Celebrating the Boundary-Breaking Joy of Music

Jack Kukuk, Director of Voices Without Borders announced today that Mr. Owen James has accepted the position of Music Director

of the Little Traverse Youth Choir’s Touring Choir. James is an outstanding choice to replace Aleta Watton, who has taken a full-time job and will not be able to return to work with the choir this year.

Owen James, a northern Michigan native, recently returned to Petoskey where, in addition to serving as the newly appointed Music Director of the Little Traverse Youth Choir, he is the Director of Music Ministries for First Presbyterian Church of Petoskey. Owen previously served as Director for the Little Traverse Choral Society. He returns to Petoskey from Portland, Oregon, where he was a well-known director, composer/arranger

and performing artist of both guitar and voice.

In addition to directing choral and worship music, Owen offers private voice and guitar lessons. He composes and performs under the stage name “Owen James,” a name so commonly used in his professional life it has become his name of choice. Longtime friends and associ-ates will remember him as Jim Owen.

Upon accepting his new position, Owen stated: “Voices Without Borders” is a name that captures the imagina-tion, and reflects my own experience in music and life: I grew up in Northern Michigan, and was taught and nurtured by many amazing and inspirational musi-cians. With the knowledge and exposure I received, I was able to take the joy of music with me into the world at large, and to share it and communicate—sometimes without words—with people from many countries and cultures. It is my hope and my privilege that, in turn, I might nurture and inspire young musi-

cians in Northern Michigan, that they, too, can carry the boundary-breaking joy of music with them wherever they go. With the Little Traverse Youth Choir, we can do that together.

The Little Traverse Youth Touring Choir is open to singers aged 13 to 19. No prior choral singing experience is required, just a love of singing, and an enjoyment of the friendship and sense of community music can build between individuals and across cultures. The first rehearsal of the upcoming season will be on Thursday, Sept. 17, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church, 501 E. Mitchell Street, across the street from the Petoskey District Library. All singers, ages 13-19 years, are invited to attend this first open rehearsal. Questions about the choir may be directed to him at ojames@littletra-verseyouthchoir.org.
