Seraph Brass Brings Music with a Mission to 91ֱ��’s Finney Chapel Stage</h1> <article> <h1>Seraph Brass Brings Music with a Mission to 91ֱ��’s Finney Chapel Stage</h1> <p>srasmuss — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 21:00:08 +0000</p> <span>Seraph Brass Brings Music with a Mission to 91ֱ��’s Finney Chapel Stage</span> <span><span>srasmuss</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-10-02T17:00:08-04:00" title="Monday, October 2, 2023 - 17:00">Mon, 10/02/2023 - 17:00</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>It was this interest that prompted her to enter college at 14, ultimately earning her bachelor’s degree at the Curtis Institute of Music and her master’s degree at the Yale School of Music. Bowden won a position with the Richmond Symphony shortly thereafter. But, she longed to play as a soloist and chamber musician. Her dream of forming small ensembles first came to fruition with the formation of the Chrysalis Chamber Players, a collective that is based in south Florida.</p> <p>In 2014, building on the momentum from the experience with her first ensemble, she decided to move forward with a long-standing goal of forming an all-female brass quintet, and Seraph Brass was born. Bowden reached out to a fellow musician she met at Yale, and together they built the first roster of core performers. </p> <p>The ensemble’s mission is to showcase the excellence of female brass players and highlight musicians from marginalized groups both in personnel and in programming. They realize this in part by their roster of core and guest artists, and have gathered a number of up-and-coming artists who perform with the ensemble at various times. The ensemble also consistently programs and commissions works by under-represented composers.</p> <p>The current core members of the ensemble, in addition to Bowden, are trombonist Elisabeth Shafer, trumpet soloists Raquel Samayoa and Jean Laurenz, french horn soloist Rachel Velvikis, and tubist Robyn Black. </p> <p>Their October 13 concert in 91ֱ�� will begin with a new work, <em>Showcase</em>, by 91ֱ�� Conservatory professor Jeff Scott. The <a href="/events/artist_recital_series_seraph_brass">program</a> continues with a number of selections from contemporary female composers and composers of color. Interspersed in the program are classical works from more well-known composers, Edvard Grieg and Franz Liszt. The energetic, propulsive <em>Go!</em> by Anthony DiLorenzo closes the program. The ensemble will engage with the audience throughout the concert and offer commentary from the stage—a model fitting for an ensemble that considers education through performance an integral part of their mission. </p> <p>Bowden and the members of the ensemble have set the bar high for performing ensembles of any makeup. Seraph Brass was awarded the 2019 American Prize in Chamber Music and has been invited twice to Finland’s prestigious Lieksa Brass Week—a goal of Bowden’s when she first envisioned markers of success for the ensemble.</p> <p>“There have been a small number of very influential women brass players in the orchestral world for some time” remarks 91ֱ�� flute professor <a href="/alexa-still">Alexa Still</a>. “This concert is largely repertoire that they are recording this season, so we are being treated to a spectacular group playing really interesting repertoire, and it is wonderful and inspiring to see a brass quintet composed entirely of women enjoying such great success!” </p> <p><strong>91ֱ�� Student Engagement</strong><br> The ensemble will hold four <a href="https://calendar.oberlin.edu/search/events?past=1&search=%22seraph%22">master classes</a> for individual brass instruments and small ensembles between October 11 and 12. These classes will feature performances by students in the Conservatory's Brass Department and they are free and open to the public. </p> <p>Seraph Brass is a not-for-profit organization, with each of the core members providing specific administrative support in addition to performing. This forms the context for the group sharing their expertise and their experiences in entrepreneurship for 91ֱ�� students during a <a href="https://calendar.oberlin.edu/event/lunch_learn_conversation_seraph_brass_lunch_provided">lunch and learn session from 12:00-1 p.m. on Friday, October 13.</a> This session is sponsored by the Artist Recital Series and the 91ֱ�� Conservatory Professional Development Office. </p> <p>TICKETS<br> <a href="/tickets/event-details?EventId=6001">Reserved seating tickets </a>for the Seraph Brass performance are $35 for the general public.

The concert, held in conjunction with the U.N.’s 77th General Assembly, bears the title “A Watershed Moment: Transformative Solutions to Interlocking Challenges.” It features works spanning the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries: Adolphus Hailstork’s vivacious curtain-raiser Fanfare on "Amazing Grace;" Sergei Rachmaninoff’s peerlessly popular Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18; and Ludwig van Beethoven’s groundbreaking Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125, commonly known as the “Choral Symphony.”</p> <p>The December 2 concert is a private event presented for the U.N. A <a href="https://calendar.oberlin.edu/event/musical_union_and_oberlin_college_choir_with_oberlin_orchestra_8604">public performance</a> of the Carnegie Hall program is scheduled for 91ֱ��’s Finney Chapel on Tuesday evening, November 29.</p> <p>“At 91ֱ��, we believe deeply in the power of music, and the arts more broadly, to foster connections between individuals and facilitate expansive new opportunities and access,” says <a href="/node/49511">William Quillen</a>, dean of 91ֱ�� Conservatory. "We are deeply honored to join in the global conversation with our partners at UNITAR and the GFPA, and we are so very proud to share our belief in the transformative power of music through this remarkable concert experience for our students.”</p> <p>Annual concerts are a U.N. tradition, though previous performances have typically featured only professional musicians. This year’s event is made possible through the support of the U.N.’s presenting partners: the Member States of Costa Rica, Ecuador, Hungary, Monaco, Oman, Rwanda, and Singapore.</p> <p>Created in 1963, UNITAR is dedicated to developing high-quality learning opportunities for United Nations delegates. The organization believes that a sustainable world is one where people can escape poverty and enjoy decent work without harming the earth's essential ecosystems and resources. UNITAR’s partnership with 91ֱ�� represents the group’s first major foray into undergraduate cultural arts education. A longtime partner with UNITAR, the GFPA promotes education in the arts and support to individuals engaged in the performing arts through cross-cultural exchange.</p> <p>91ֱ�� is one of a small number of U.S. institutions of higher education invited to take part in the initiative—and the only higher ed partner focused on undergraduate study.</p> <p>The partnership will create new opportunities for students worldwide to know and discover 91ֱ��. The first students selected through the program may begin as early as fall 2023. The agreement may also extend to the implementation of joint programs based on performance, research, conferences, and other experiences. A separate facet of the partnership, focusing on teaching English for speakers of other languages, is also being developed and would be hosted at 91ֱ��.</p> <p>The December 2 concert at Carnegie Hall will be led by 91ֱ�� Professor of Conducting <a href="/node/6636">Raphael Jiménez</a>. It features artist Byron Wei-Xin Zhou as piano soloist for the Rachmaninoff, as well as four accomplished international vocal soloists: 91ֱ�� Conservatory alumni mezzo-soprano Kathryn Leemhuis ’05 and tenor Joshua Blue ’16, and a pair of world-renowned artists invited by UNITAR, baritone Marco Chingari and soprano Sarah Tisba of Italy.</p> <p>“We could not be more excited by the invitation to participate in such a special event,” says Jiménez, who also led the 91ֱ�� Orchestra in Carnegie Hall performances in 2019 and 2013. “Every aspect of it makes it a unique experience for our students: the occasion, the venue, the audience, and the repertoire, which includes the awe-inspiring Beethoven Symphony No. 9. I cannot think of a more appropriate occasion and place to play this universal hymn of brotherhood.”</p> <p>“Music is a universal language and a powerful tool for cultural exchange. Its many positive spirits are the elements required for transformative solutions, and it will help to lead us through this watershed moment,” says pianist Zhou, who performed a solo recital for the 2021 U.N. Gala at Carnegie Hall. “As a musician, I firmly believe that utilizing music could promote the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals and eventually lead us to a better future.”</p> <p>For 91ֱ��’s student musicians, the December U.N. concert marks the first of two engagements at Carnegie Hall in a span of less than two months: The orchestra and choral ensembles return for a public performance in Stern Auditorium on January 20.</p> <p>Learn more on the <a href="/united-nations-partnership">United Nations Partnership page at 91ֱ��.edu</a>.</p> <hr style="margin: 1.25rem 0;"> <p><em>The <strong>United Nations Institute for Training and Research</strong> (UNITAR) was established in 1963 pursuant to a United Nations General Assembly resolution.

The academy’s mission is to make the highest quality music education accessible to students around the country, no matter their financial situation. Through the program, Rubin and Steger were taught the basics of running a company, received mentors in their field, and eventually won a $10,000 grant to help launch their endeavour. Today, Virtu.Academy recruits teachers from conservatories and institutions from around the world in order to connect them with students for virtual, private music lessons.</p> <p>“From the beginning, we knew that virtual learning would play a key role in the future of education, but we never could have predicted how quickly that would happen,” says Steger, who studied biochemistry and trumpet performance at 91ֱ��.</p> <p>“There are so many students in rural locations who simply do not have access to music teachers, so we knew that this was an important field to expand,” continues Rubin, who majored in politics and environmental studies. “Because of the incredible educators around the world who have worked to make virtual learning effective for their students, people are much more comfortable with the idea of learning online than they were when we first started Virtu.”</p> <p>Read more about Virtu.Academy and its alumni cofounders in this After 91ֱ�� Q&A.</p> <hr> <p> </p> <p><strong>Did you pursue further education after 91ֱ��? </strong></p> <figure class="captioned-image obj-right"> <figcaption>Bryan Rubin '18 Photo credit: Alexandra Roman '19</figcaption> </figure> <p><strong>Rubin: </strong>I began a fellowship with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Multimedia, producing video and photo content for both internal and external use. I was there from November 2018 until June 2020, when we went full time with Virtu.Academy.</p> <p><strong>Steger:</strong> I started a research fellowship at the National Institutes of Health while applying to medical schools. I do plan on going back to school for an MD/PhD program, but we decided to delay that to continue working on Virtu full time.</p> <p><strong>How would you describe yourself and why?</strong></p> <p><strong>Rubin:</strong> I would describe myself as a creative who particularly enjoys visual storytelling. Essential to this and many other aspects of my life is the desire to keep learning new skills and workflows to improve whatever I may be working on—both for work and personal projects. And equally important, I enjoy having fun and taking a break from work to hang out with friends, even if that’s all virtual for the moment!</p> <p><strong>Steger:</strong> I love to learn! I think that is one of the most important things about me that has helped with running Virtu.Academy. While working on a startup, you have to do a little bit of everything, and I enjoyed learning the basics of skills like accounting, marketing, and web design that we needed to start the business. </p> <p><strong>What role/duties do you perform at Virtu.Academy?</strong></p> <figure class="captioned-image obj-right"> <figcaption>Benjamin Steger '18 Photo credit: Courtesy of Steger</figcaption> </figure> <p><strong>Rubin:</strong> From the beginning both Ben and I have had to handle everything. For a long time we had to provide many hours of support—from emails to live chat to phone channels—before going full time. Luckily we’ve been able to bring on an amazing support team to help us in the last year. Currently, my main role is working with our creative teams to produce marketing materials as well as maintain our social media presence. </p> <p><strong>Steger: </strong>Right now, I mostly focus on recruiting teachers, building our website and platform, and the financial side of things. We’ve had to learn the basics of accounting, customer service, web development, marketing, and many other things that we needed, before we could afford to hire anyone.</p> <p><strong>How many classes are held through VirtuAcademy?</strong></p> <p><strong>Steger and Rubin:</strong> Right now, we have about 150 instructors who teach around 5,000 lessons per month, but this has been growing by 20 to 30 percent most months since we started.</p> <p><strong>Where do you see Virtu.Academy in the future?</strong></p> <p><strong>Steger and Rubin:</strong> We want Virtu.Academy to continue growing so every student can have access to high quality music education, and talented musicians from around the world can continue to do what they love and spread their passion for music. We have some exciting plans that we’re working on, such as expanding our scholarship fund and providing more performance opportunities and learning experiences for our students. </p> <p><strong>Did you participate in any internships while at 91ֱ��?</strong></p> <p><strong>Rubin:</strong> The summer after sophomore year I was an intern with the EPA’s Office of Multimedia, as well as my junior year winter term. Both of these internships helped me get the position within the same office after college while working on Virtu.Academy on the side. </p> <p><strong>Steger:</strong> During my first winter term, I interned at St. Louis Symphony’s education department and an education program at Jazz St. Louis. After that, all of my internships were science-related. During a few summers, I interned in labs at Washington University and the National Institutes of Health.</p> <p><strong>Any advice for students who would like to pursue a career in your field?</strong></p> <p><strong>Rubin:</strong> If someone is interested in starting a business, while the beginning can seem daunting, it’s also the most exciting—and personally, the part I enjoyed the most! I think people might believe that in order to start something, you have to have everything figured out, or at least a majority of it, but I don’t believe that’s necessary. It can start small, just from the idea stage that you share with a friend and grow from there. And almost more importantly, what you start doesn’t have to be your area of study or your expertise, or what your life work’s always going to be. After all, I was a politics and environmental studies major.</p> <p><strong>Steger:</strong> For anyone who is interested in starting a business, I think the most important thing is just to take the first step, no matter how small it seems. It might sound cliche, but so many people have incredible ideas for a business, but very few people actually start one. Even the smallest first step, like registering an LLC or buying a website domain, will turn your idea into a real business. Things like that only take a couple hours, and you will be much more motivated to continue building your business once it’s real.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-01-21T12:00:00Z">Thu, 01/21/2021 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Yvonne Gay</div> <div class="text-content field field--name-field-intro-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Nearly a year ago many businesses and schools concerned about the spread of COVID-19 relocated onsite offices and classrooms to the internet.
