HISTORICAL NOTE: The CSO debuted in 1993. The first clinic took place in a hot, cramped rehearsal space on the 2 nd floor of the Kentucky Center for the Arts. From 1994 on, the clinic/performance has been presented in the Commonwealth Convention Center (renamed the Kentucky International Convention Center in 2001.) The CSO was first envisioned by Myron McLain and coordinated by Nancy McLain with his assistance as a reading ensemble, a training group for the growing number of students narrowly missing the All-State Symphony Orchestra cut. From 1993-1999 it filled one of the Orchestra Division s clinic spots. In 2000 it was officially sanctioned by the KMEA board as an All-State ensemble. Thanks to Myron & Nancy s vision, dedication, and perseverance an additional 50-60 string students each year have the opportunity of an All-State Orchestra experience. 2004 Bob Phillips, Conductor Kelly Sikorski, Chairperson & Doug VanFleet, Chair-elect Capriol Suite, Warlock [Curwen & Sons] Mantras, Richard Meyer [Highland/Etling] Rhosymedre, Vaughan Williams [Galaxy] St. Paul s Suite, Jig, Holst [Schirmer, Curwen] Diversions, Bredan McBrien [Highland/Etling] Scottish Mist, Bonnie Rideout and Bob Phillips [Alfred Publishing, 2004] Janie Be Good, from Jazz Philharmonic, by Randy Sabien and Bob Phillips [Alfred Publishing] 2003 Jack Ranney, Conductor Karen Higdon, Chairperson & Kelly Sikorski, Chair-elect Short Overture for Strings, Jean Berger [Peters] String Symphony in Four Cycles, Tibor Serly [Southern] (Not Performed) Classical Romantic Impressionistic Contemporary Elegy, Samuel Jones [Carl Fischer] Divertimento in C Major, Mozart [Schott] 1.
