Your expertise, dedication and passion in planning very successful Affiliate events and coping with the most challenging times with grace, inspires and amazes me. Continuing our commitment to the implementation of the Affiliate six-year Strategic Plan is an ongoing process. Thanks to Mary Deissler, Director, Campaign and Special Initiatives and her staff, along with Sheri Gill coordinating the event, for spearheading a fabulous Fundraising Workshop that surpassed our expectations. It was a true Affiliate/LAPA partnership. The Affiliates started off the 2012 year with a much needed and anticipated Membership Workshop. We were fortunate to experience the expertise of three panelists who addressed new ways to attract and retain new members and at the same time learned the demographics of today s volunteers. Thanks to Marilyn Kezirian and Kathie Dagermangy for organizing this unique and informative workshop. Let s continue the momentum and enthusiasm for the balance of the year by devoting our energies on the ongoing projects that are designed to further our mission of supporting our world class orchestra and its education programs. With utmost gratitude, Aida Gaona Aida Gaona
2 Page 2 The Mahler Project A Symphonic Cycle for the New World, Jan13-Feb 18, 2012 UPCOMING LA PHIL PROJECTS The LA Phil continues its extraordinary, landmark season with highlights including: The Mahler Project: January and February 2012 features The Mahler Project, a milestone celebration commemorating the centennial of Gustav Mahler s death and a multinational partnership between the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The project presents Gustavo Dudamel with the monumental task of conducting all nine of Mahler s symphonies in both Los Angeles and Caracas, Venezuela. Take A Stand: A partnership between the LA Phil, the Longy School of Music, and Bard College, this is an innovative initiative that supports social change through music. Inspired by El Sistema, Take A Stand supports national conferences and a Master of Arts in Teaching in Music degree program. The inaugural Take A Stand symposium, January 30-February 1, focuses on driving the El Sistema movement forward. Three hundred attendees from 10 countries and 22 states have registered to attend. Mozart/Da Ponte Trilogy: Music Director Gustavo Dudamel has chosen icons from the worlds of architecture and fashion to stage one Mozart/Da Ponte opera each year over the next three years. The first of the series, Don Giovanni, will debut this May and will feature set designs by Frank Gehry and costumes by the Rodarte designers. Much as Mozart and Da Ponte defined their own historical time and continue to influence our own, the LA Phil has turned to the artists of our time, who have shaped our contemporary landscape, to realize a Mozart-Da Ponte Trilogy for the 21st century. Join in all of these exciting events!
3 NEWS Page 3 A contingent of LA Phil Affiliates had the pleasure of visiting the site of YOLA@HOLA on December 5th. Present were Affiliate Chair Aida Gaona, Barbara Camilleri, President Margie Baker, Judy Munro, Charlotte Harvey and Glenda Burnett. They gathered in the general office building to view the administration of the HOLA activities. Then they proceeded to the adjoining school and were met by Dan Berkowitz, YOLA Manager, who escorted them on a most interesting tour of YOLA@HOLA in action. He explained YOLA s goals, the process of choosing children and YOLA s leading role in promoting youth orchestras in the US, based on Venezuela s El Sistema. For over two hours they visited classrooms where they observed 30+ wind instrument students practicing Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony for an upcoming performance. They saw the 1st and 2nd grade violinist and violists initially practicing their fingering in the air. Playing on the actual strings would come later. Other students were in choral rehearsal for a Christmas program and the rest were doing their homework. All in all it was a huge hive of activity. In anticipation of finding volunteers to assist the staff on a regular basis, Glenda Burnett, YOLA Liaison for the Affiliates, encourages everyone to take the opportunity to not only see a program of the YOLA orchestra, but to observe the process of reaching the goal by visiting the HOLA site. Contact Melanie Sanguinet for further information, msanguinet@laphil.org.

7 Page 7 ENDOWMENT REHEARSAL On December 8, 2011, our Affiliates group enjoyed our Philharmonic in rehearsal. The wonderful program,"the Hollywood Sound, was part of Pacific Standard Time, a cultural collaboration initiated by the Getty. The conductor, Thomas Wilkins, joined us at intermission and spoke about music s importance to cinema. Additionally, 400 students from the downtown area filed silently into the Terrace section. It was rewarding to see the rapt attention on these young faces and their obvious SYMPHONIES FOR SCHOOLS pleasure in what they were seeing and hearing, often for the first time. The rehearsal reflected well on the great contributions of motion picture scores created in L.A. The Affiliates Endowment Rehearsal is available once each year for those contributing $100 or more to the Fund between October 1 and September 30 of the following year. Contributions are cumulative and allow the donor and a guest to attend. Thank you for your support!

8 ENCORE Erika Riley's beautifully decorated San Marino home provided the perfect setting for Encore's annual Holiday Tea. A tall Christmas tree covered with elegant ornaments greeted members as they arrived in the entry hall, and Santa Clauses from Erika's collection were seen throughout. The dining table was a feast for the eyes as guests filled their plates with tea sandwiches and other savories, as well as cookies, candies, and scones with jams and cream. All the delicious items were made by the current board members some of the recipes being drawn from editions of Encore Eats, an annual compilation put together by Joy McCarthy of the superb foods prepared by board members for Encore gatherings. Past presidents poured tea, coffee, and an occasional Kahlua! The sounds of Christmas carols and other classical pieces could be heard throughout the dining and living rooms in lovely arrangements that added to the holiday spirit, provided by guitarist Kevin Philip Nash. Animated conversation filled the rooms as members enjoyed visiting and wishing one another happy holidays.

Elaine Berman, Inez Lopez, Lenore Rodah, Becky Novy, Rea Crane, Colleen Robertson, Stephanie Klopfleisch COPW is going through a rebranding process to closely align its purpose and activities to those of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the LA Philharmonic Association. We are featuring support of youth music education as a primary goal. A new motto will be unveiled in March. Brochures will be redone professionally to emphasize our support of YOLA/HOLA. Our brochures will also highlight our volunteer and financial support opportunities for members and friends. Our by-laws are being updated by COPW member, former Superior Court Judge Meredith Taylor. Our members are enthusiastic about the planned changes and we believe we are positioning our committee to increase our already significant contributions to the Philharmonic. In addition to our rebranding activities, COPW continues its tradition of lovely musical events for members and friends. We will enjoy a tea at the home of Esme Douglas on January 29 followed by a concert from the New West Symphony in Santa Monica. We anticipate an afternoon of fun, friendship, and exciting music.

10 Page 10 PENINSULA COMMITTEE Changing Lives Through Music When twelve year old Erica Mineo stopped by the Music Mobile display at our fall fundraiser, we could hear how our program touches lives. She first tuned all seven of our violins, and then played a Bach Concerto! Better yet, she remembered one of our Music Mobile sessions when she attended in third grade. We do change lives through our youth programs, and the winter season brings renewed focus on making music with the kids. Music Mobile, and the iconic van we donated in 2005, is the centerpiece of our activity. For 2012, we have expanded our reach to five new schools, and enlisted our men to join the fun. We reinforce this early exposure with a music festival for fifth graders at Norris Theatre, and embrace a wider audience of adults and children by providing tickets for purchase to the Toyota Symphonies for Youth. We also support our local El-Hi instrumental programs, and invite rising stars to perform at our events. Our goal is to bring the joy of music discovery to young people, and start them on a lifelong journey as music lovers. Our reward is the warm glow we get from reading letters from the kids. A cherished favorite is one that critiqued a docent s earnest effort to play an instrument with at least you tried.

"These men," his companion approvingly declared, "have been playing together for twelve years." "Surely," Shaw replied, "we have Shortly after George Gershwin's death, Oscar Levant was approached by a man who had written an elegy and wanted him to hear it. Levant reluctantly agreed... been here longer than that!" When words leave off, music begins. Heinrich Heine In music the passions enjoy themselves. Friedrich Nietzsche Music is a performance and needs the audience. Michael Tippett Music is the best means we have of digesting time. W. H. Auden When he was finished playing, the man turned to Levant for his opinion. "I think it would have been better," Levant declared, "if you had died and Gershwin had written the elegy." AFFILIATES AT LARGE Our Holiday Party at the Bowl Cottage was enhanced by a delicious international-themed dinner. Augmented with four new members, we are staffing this year s Toyota Symphonies For Youth and look forward to the Symphonies For Schools in March, and the Pasadena Showcase House of Design in spring.
