Hi Media Professionals,

The Four Seasons Orchestra's Bach Concerto Competition on Saturday April 14th was a huge success.  We have six talented young winners this year.  They will be performing with the Four Seasons Orchestra on our season finale concert on Saturday May 19th at 7:30 PM at ASU Kerr Cultural Center in Scottsdale.  Here is a list of the Bach Competition Winners for your publication.  They are aged between 12 and 20 years young and all performed brilliantly at our competition. They will be performing selections from J.S. Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor; J.C. Bach's Concerto for Viola in C Minor; and J.S. Bach's Concerto for Violin in A Minor.  The competition winners will be accompanied by the Four Seasons Orchestra conducted by Carolyn Broe.  Tickets to this event will be only $15 for seniors/students and $18 for adults.  Tickets may be purchased by contacting the ASU Kerr Box Office 480 596-2660 or online at http://www.asukerr.com or in person at the ASU Kerr Center at 6110 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85253.

I am also sending you a flier with all of the information for our "Arizona Profiles" Music of Louise Lincoln Kerr CD release on May 19th at the Bach and Kerr Concert.  "Arizona Profiles" is an official Arizona Centennial Legacy Project.  This will be the very first CD ever produced of L.L. Kerr's music.  We will also be performing some of Kerr's beautiful Southwest Impressionist chamber music live at this concert on May 19th by members of the Four Seasons Orchestra.  This concert and CD project have been generously sponsored in part by The Arizona Commission on the Arts, The Scottsdale Cultural Council, The Arizona Lottery, The ASU Kerr Cultural Center, The Four Seasons Orchestra of Scottsdale, and Classics Unlimited Music.  The "Arizona Profiles" CD of Kerr's chamber music will be put on public display as part of the Arizona Centennial and then placed into the Arizona Historical Commission Archives for 100 years.  This time capsule will then be opened on February 14th 2112 as part of the bicentennial celebrations.  For more information about the Four Seasons Orchestra and Carolyn Broe please visit our website athttp://fourseasonsorchestra.org .

From Carolyn Broe: Bach Concerto Concert





Dear Jordan,

     The Four Seasons Orchestra is announcing our Bach Concerto Competition taking place on Saturday April 14th from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Phoenix.  We will also be holding a Bach Master Class where the winners can perform on the same day from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. Teachers, parents and other participating students are welcome (admission free). The actual concert with the Four Seasons Orchestra will take place on May 19th in Scottsdale.  Please take a look at the attached competition application and fliers for this event.  We have had to make some changes in the prize awards and the location of the competition, due to grant funding that did not come in.  You do not need to memorize your concerto as it is chamber music.  The ages are also different for the divisions.  Fifteen year old students can participate in the Junior Division.  We hope that you and your students will still be able to participate even with this late notice.  We appreciate all of your efforts to prepare your students to participate in the Bach Concerto Competition.  If you have any questions please give me a call or e-mail.  

     We are allowing compositions by J S Bach and his sons.  If you have a transcribed piece that is fine as long as you know there are orchestra parts available.  As always the orchestra will purchase those parts when we know who the winners are.  There is an organ and a piano available at the Church in case your student has a keyboard concerto and for the accompanists.  We are also allowing singers to participate since Bach was also a vocal composer.  Double and triple concertos are allowed.  We may not be able to accommodate triple keyboard concertos, but concertos for two or more string, brass or wind instruments should be fine.  The winners of double concerts will have to split their prize money, however they only need to pay one entrance fee.  If the ages of the two contestants in a double concerto are in two different divisions, then please sign up for the senior division.

We are looking forward to hearing the students perform on April 14th!

Sincerely,
Carolyn Broe
