It\u2019s a welcome sensation: the extraordinary variety and vibrancy of music-making in 2019 is undeniable, yet so is the constant hand-wringing that now seems to be a permanent feature of the classical music discourse. But if the futures of arts education and Western concert music are really as dire as they sometimes appear, why are the seventy northeastern Ohio high-schoolers in this room so psyched to be playing music nobody\u2019s ever played before?

I first crossed their path as a graduate student around seven years ago; they must have seen <a href=\"https:\/\/nmbx.newmusicusa.org\/author\/colinholter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my byline<\/a> here on NewMusicBox and assumed that I was a bona fide member of the field (an extension of the benefit of the doubt that no student composer could forget). It\u2019s safe to say Arlene and Larry are the biggest fans of contemporary music in the United States who are not personally in the business. To practitioners who inhabit our small world, that <em>anyone <\/em>not in it for themselves could be a fan can come as a mild surprise: it\u2019s a difficult world to love sometimes, exasperating even when everyone is treating each other with civility (which they don\u2019t, always). But Arlene and Larry are indefatigable advocates both for what new music is and\u2014crucially\u2014for what it should be.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">Arlene and Larry Dunn are indefatigable advocates both for what new music is and\u2014crucially\u2014for what it should be.<\/div>\n<p>The Dunns have found a vector for that advocacy in the Northern Ohio Youth Orchestra, on whose board Larry has served. \u201cFor us, it is essential that the NOYO composer-in-residence program is specifically focused on commissioning work from a composer of underrepresented status: people of color, women, LGBTQ,\u201d says Arlene. \u201cThe only way we are going to move towards racial and gender equity in the arts, or anywhere else, is by taking such concrete steps.\u201d Showing young musicians that composers are not found exclusively in the ranks of the white male dead is a vital part of NOYO\u2019s mission to provide exceptional musical education through a variety of performance opportunities for participants of all backgrounds in an inclusive community of learning and growth. When NOYO\u2019s artistic staff puts a composition on a high school musician\u2019s stand by a composer who looks like them, that\u2019s not just a way to broaden their sonic horizons: it\u2019s a way to demonstrate that anyone can be a composer, that everyone has an aesthetic position to take, and that those positions warrant respect.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_357071\" style=\"width: 4520px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-ArleneLarryDunn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-357071\" class=\"size-full wp-image-357071\" src=\"https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-ArleneLarryDunn.jpg\" alt=\"Arlene and Larry Dunn\" width=\"4510\" height=\"3007\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-357071\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arlene and Larry Dunn. (Photo by Tina Tallon)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>To that end, the Dunns decided to take action with a transformative gift to NOYO: a contribution to the organization\u2019s 50th anniversary endowment campaign that will endow the position of composer-in-residence in perpetuity. Each season, NOYO solicits proposals from Oberlin Conservatory composition students\u2014students, in particular, from underrepresented populations\u2014to write a piece for NOYO\u2019s advanced Philharmonia Orchestra to premiere on its March concert. The selected composers will now each be known as an Arlene and Larry Dunn Composer-In-Residence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">The Dunns&#8217; transformative gift to NOYO will endow the position of composer-in-residence in perpetuity.<\/div>\n<p>Why now? As it happens, 2019 doesn\u2019t just mark NOYO\u2019s 50th anniversary\u2014it also marks Arlene and Larry\u2019s. \u201cIt\u2019s a delightful synchronicity that NOYO\u2019s 50th anniversary and our 50th wedding anniversary are happening in the same year,\u201d Arlene explains. \u201cWe were looking for opportunities to celebrate our 50th that benefit the community, and giving to the NOYO endowment campaign to secure the future of the composer-in-residence program was a perfect fit.\u201d For NOYO\u2019s part, the organization is readier now than ever for such a program. \u201c[Former executive director] Mike Roest asked me to join the board in 2014 to help re-energize the organization after some lean years,\u201d says Larry. \u201cWhat NOYO has accomplished since then, under Mike\u2019s leadership and the team that has succeeded him, is truly remarkable, in terms of number of participants and the growing breadth of program offerings.\u201d And the position that NOYO has staked out with regard to new work is bold: in addition to the Dunn Composer-In-Residence Program, NOYO offers its high-school-age participants the opportunity to invent their own music in the Lab Group, a collaborative composing ensemble, and to hear their compositions played by Oberlin Conservatory musicians through a composition competition. \u201cOne of my ambitions as a board member was to encourage the organization to engage more with the music of right now, by commissioning and creating new works,\u201d Larry recalls. \u201cTo see this come to fruition with the composer-in-residence program and the Lab Group is very gratifying.\u201d Arlene concurs: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be supporting NOYO in two dimensions that deeply resonate with us: striving for social justice and equity in serving the community and sparking and unleashing young people\u2019s creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But NOYO\u2019s young musicians, who come to Oberlin from all over northern Ohio each week to rehearse, aren\u2019t the only beneficiaries of the program. Oberlin Conservatory composition professor Jesse Jones can vouch for the residency\u2019s value to his students, including current composer in residence Kari Watson and 2017-18 composer-in-residence <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soominkimcomposer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soomin Kim<\/a> (retroactively included in the program):<\/p>\n<p>I have witnessed first-hand the artistic and professional growth this incredible program has provided them; they are afforded the rare opportunity to workshop ideas and receive feedback on their works in progress; they build a professional working relationship with both the conductors and instrumentalists; they get to practice effective verbal communication with a large ensemble; they even gain first-hand teaching experience by mentoring budding composers within the ensemble. The Dunn residency is an indispensable part of our young composers&#8217; education here at Oberlin, and I know Kari and Soomin both view it as a high point in their burgeoning musical careers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_357070\" style=\"width: 726px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-357070\" class=\"size-large wp-image-357070\" src=\"https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-KariWatson-716x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Kari Watson\" width=\"716\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-KariWatson-716x1024.jpg 716w, https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-KariWatson-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-KariWatson-768x1098.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-KariWatson-1075x1536.jpg 1075w, https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-KariWatson-1433x2048.jpg 1433w, https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-KariWatson-915x1308.jpg 915w, https:\/\/newmusicusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/15-KariWatson-scaled.jpg 1791w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-357070\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kari Watson<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Watson and Kim have approached the prospect of composing for NOYO\u2019s Philharmonia Orchestra as an invitation to reflect on their own experiences as high school musicians and reacquaint themselves with the joy that youth music-making can bring. \u201cWhen I went to rehearsals, it really reminded me of when I was young,\u201d says Kim. \u201cI used to play the piano when I was young, and my parents would come to every single little concert I had at school. [Attending NOYO rehearsals] just reminded me a lot of my family and how they used to support me, seeing the parents sitting at the lounge waiting for the kids.\u201d Referring to the upcoming premiere of her <em>Morning Music for Fish<\/em>, Watson notes that \u201cthis piece was a very joyful thing to write. I started this year with aims to write a different dark piece, working slowly and not feeling that much excitement. This piece and the experience refueled my creative love for music making. Going to NOYO rehearsals made me so happy, and I haven\u2019t felt as much joy surrounding music as I have there in so long.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">\u201cThe key to success for arts organizations is to make yourself essential to your community.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>The Arlene and Larry Dunn Composer-In-Residence Program is an initiative that weaves together the Dunns\u2019 passions for contemporary music and social justice with NOYO\u2019s mission of access and inclusion. \u201cI\u2019ve long thought that the key to success for arts organizations and other non-profits is to make yourself essential to your community,\u201d says Larry. \u201cAnd the best way to do that is to deliver something of value to their children, which is exactly what NOYO is doing.\u201d In this case, the \u201csomething\u201d is new music\u2014and to the young musicians of the Northern Ohio Youth Orchestra, its value is self-evident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why are the seventy northeastern Ohio high-schoolers in this room so psyched to be playing music nobody\u2019s ever played before?
