Mission In the conviction that music nourishes the mind, body, and spirit of the individual and enriches the community, the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies provides a rigorous and inspiring orchestral experience for young musicians.

Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies (GTCYS) transforms young musicians of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds by breaking down barriers to music instruction and providing exceptional year-round orchestral experiences. Led by Artistic Director Mark Russell Smith, outstanding conductors, and coaches from the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra (SPCO) and Minnesota Orchestra, GTCYS serves more than 1,000 students ages 8-18 through nine school-year orchestras, two summer programs, and Harmony. Launched in 2016, Harmony provides before-school beginning violin and cello instruction to students at Riverview West Side School of Excellence in St. Paul’s West Side neighborhood.

Each year, GTCYS shares more than 30 concerts with 13,000 audience members at locations across the region, including Orchestra Hall, The Ordway, Ted Mann Concert Hall, plus free community concerts at local schools, homeless shelters, and care centers. Renowned for its rich international touring history, GTCYS’ Symphony tours biennially, most recently to Eastern Europe (2018), Argentina (2016), and Spain (2014). In total, GTCYS inspires more than 17,000 children and adults through our educational programs, free community activities, concerts, and special events each year.

Founded in 1972, GTCYS’ 16,000 alumni include leaders in every field who developed lifelong values of teamwork, discipline, and community engagement during their GTCYS experience. With the help of generous donors, GTCYS will award $100,000 in need-based scholarships for tuition and sponsored lessons this season. Through a unique partnership since 2011, GTCYS and the SPCO work together to strengthen our community, build audiences, provide educational opportunities for students, and promote the value of classical music.

ABOUT GTCYS


ARTISTIC DIRECTORA MESSAGE FROM THE

Dear GTCYS Friends and Families,

Among the multitudinous changes that the coronavirus has brought to our daily lives, perhaps there are some positive developments as well. For me, one of those positive things is a bit more time to sit down and reflect. Things are normally especially hectic this time of year for all students and their families, and while recognizing the new stresses that virtual school and virtual life bring, I hope we can all take a moment to reflect a bit.

All this is to say that I am deeply grateful for each and every GTCYS student and their family for the inspired work and tenacity this year. While it was of course a tremendous disappointment to not be together for our Spring Festival Concert, I salute the students, conductors, and staff for closing out a challenging spring on a positive note. I know that I personally have enjoyed remaining connected, albeit virtually, with the musicians in my orchestra, and I know that all conductors and staff share my sentiment.

I am so grateful for your commitment to GTCYS, to music and to the community that we have created together. Thank you, parents, for your continued support of our organization. Thank you, students, for adapting and auditioning and bravely facing the challenges that social distancing bring.

We are more committed than ever to offering next year’s (and this summer’s) GTCYS students an inspiring and enriching experience. The combination of music and community that GTCYS manifests is clearly vital for all of us in the coming weeks and months.

Thanks for your commitment to music, to bringing beauty into a world that desperately needs it, and to GTCYS.

I very much look forward to the time when we see each other again.

Until then, on behalf of the staff and conductors and Board of GTCYS, I send my very best wishes.

Mark Russell Smith Artistic Director

Mark Russell Smith, Artistic Director & Symphony Conductor

Whether conducting contemporary masterpieces or bringing fresh insights to the symphonies of Mozart, Beethoven, or Brahms, Mr. Smith demonstrates consummate musicianship and enthusiastic commitment to the art of music-making – qualities that have endeared him to audiences and musicians alike. He joined GTCYS as Artistic Director in 2012 with nearly 30 years of experience conducting and teaching. Under his leadership, GTCYS has experienced heightened artistic success, student engagement, and a mentor project with the University of Minnesota. Mr.

Smith also holds positions as Artistic Director of Orchestral Studies at the University of Minnesota (since 2007) and Music Director and Conductor of the Quad City Symphony Orchestra (since 2008). Previous positions include Director of New Music Projects for The SPCO and Conductor of the Richmond Symphony Orchestra.

In the winter and spring of 2012, Mr. Smith was the instigating artistic force behind the University of Minnesota School of Music’s Britten Peace Project, which combined musical and historical study and community engagement, culminating in critically acclaimed performances of Britten’s War Requiem in Europe and America, collaborating with German and American music students, professional musicians and the Nobel Peace Prize Forum. As a guest conductor, Mr. Smith enjoys a burgeoning international reputation that has brought him engagements and re-engagements with prestigious American orchestras, including the St. Louis Symphony, the Houston Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. A champion of the music of our time, Mr. Smith led The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra’s Engine 408 series, working closely with living composers and adding his unique perspective to enhance the orchestra’s great tradition of fostering new works. He has collaborated with YoYo Ma and members of the Chamber Music Society of Minnesota in Hún Qiáo (Bridge of Souls), a concert of remembrance and reconciliation featuring world premieres by Korean, Japanese, Chinese and American composers.

Mr. Smith grew up in a musical family in Phoenix, Arizona where he began the serious study of conducting while still in his teens. He is a graduate in cello performance of the Juilliard School, where he studied with Claus Adam, and of the Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied conducting with Max Rudolf and Otto-Werner Mueller. Mr. Smith resides in Minneapolis, where his wife, Ellen Dinwiddie Smith, is a horn player with the Minnesota Orchestra. They have two sons, Alexander and Noah. More at www.markrussellsmith.net.

VIRTUAL SEASON FINALE

Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity Gustav Holstfrom The Planets

Watch the performance here.

Premiered Sunday, May 17 at 7:00pm

#gtcysjupiter

Performing GTCYS’ season finale, Jupiter, is an annual hallmark that spans nearly 20 years. Bringing the entire GTCYS student body together in a mass performance is a moving demonstration of unity, community, and beauty. Typically performed at Orchestra Hall, students fill the stage, line the aisles, and stand antiphonally in the balconies enveloping the audience for a surround-sound experience. It is an unforgettable, lifechanging experience for musicians and audience members alike. Even though in-person performances aren’t possible this spring, we could not overlook this annual tradition and opportunity for students to come together and share their talents in a special way. We are thrilled to share GTCYS’ first-ever mass virtual performance in celebration of our wonderful students and the culmination of the 2019-20 season. 350 GTCYS’ musicians – almost half our student body across the nine orchestras – chose to participate and are included in this mass virtual orchestra. Special thanks to our conductors for supporting students during the process and to GTCYS’ staff for tackling the immense process of producing the video. We hope these talented young musicians bring you joy and help you find hope in the future. They are a daily inspiration to us, and we look forward to resurrecting this tradition at Orchestra Hall with everyone next year.

PLAY YOUR PART 45

Elizabeth Bergquist, cello 2019-20 Orchestra: Symphony Years in GTCYS: 5 Favorite GTCYS Memory: My favorite memory is the first time that I played Jupiter from on the stage, with the other Symphony musicians.

College Attending: Gustavus Adolphus College Major: Biochemistry, with a minor in music How has GTCYS helped prepare you for your future? GTCYS prepared me for the future by allowing me to be part of a community that made something greater than myself, and it taught me how amazing that feeling is and also how much work it takes.

Kaitlyn Blackburn, violin 2019-20 Orchestra: Philharmonic Years in GTCYS: 2 Favorite GTCYS Memory: My favorite GTCYS memory was Bring a Friend Night this past year.

College Attending: Luther College Major: Music Education How has GTCYS helped prepare you for your future?

Julian Calder, cello 2019-20 Orchestra: Symphony Years in GTCYS: 5 Favorite GTCYS Memory: My favorite GTCYS memory was from the Spring Festival last year, when I was in Philharmonic.

We then brought the cards back to Orchestra Hall and had the whole cello section sign them, and then gave them to show our appreciation. College Attending: Middlebury College Major: Computer Science, Math, or Physics How has GTCYS helped prepare you for your future? The most valuable thing GTCYS has taught me is how to take responsibility for coming prepared to rehearsal each week. This skill has extended into other areas of my life, as I know how crucial it is in all group settings to be prepared in order to have the most productive experience.
