As the 2015-2016 season closes, I wanted to highlight some noteworthy Symphony activities in
and for our local community:
The Symphony Performs at South Port Square
Maestro Ponti continues his community outreach commitment “bringing music to audiences
aged 8 to 88”! On Valentine’s Day, the orchestra performed a special concert for the residents of
South Port Square, one of Port Charlotte’s exclusive senior living communities, offering beautiful
home accommodations, fine dining, plenty of activities and now a relationship with Charlotte
County’s own Symphony Orchestra.
South Port’s Executive Director, Richard Finn has a great appreciation for Maestro Ponti’s
connection with the community: “He makes a difference and is taking away the stereotype of
symphony audiences”. Mr. Finn remarked how honored he feels that the “first community
performance outside CPAC is at South Port”, and that he can “see a partnership for a long time”.
Following the concert, a reception provided residents and the management team an opportunity to
visit with Maestro Ponti.
Youth Concert 2016
On Friday, January 22, Maestro Ponti and the orchestra performed what may be the most fun
and satisfying concert of the season, the annual Youth Concert. This year, the main feature was
Saint-Saens’ CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS.
The hall was filled twice with third graders from all over Charlotte County – who had been
visited by the Maestro in their own schools. Participating in this special music and art program,
they were presented with music from the CARNIVAL and asked “what instrument is this?”
and “what animal is the music describing?” Hearing the entire work performed in concert was
at once familiar and thrilling. In addition, Maestro and his musicians introduced the families of
instruments that play in an orchestra and heard familiar works that were true crowd pleasers.
And the Winner Is…
Four local celebrities…John Wright, Punta Gorda Chamber President; Julie Mathis, Charlotte
County Chamber Executive Director; Pam Seay, Airport Authority Commissioner; and Ed Hill,
Englewood Chamber Executive Director…all competed in a fun and high-spirited fundraising
event for the Orchestra.
Contestants collected $10.00 “votes” from friends and colleagues who supported their
campaigns to conduct the Orchestra in a musical selection at the Symphony’s Valentine’s Day Pops
Concert.
And the winner was John Wright, a musician himself, dressed in traditional Scottish kilt.
John found that conducting the orchestra was no easy task, however, as Maestro Ponti had some
tricks up his sleeve. When John first raised the baton to begin Meredith Wilson’s Seventy Six
Trombones, the entire orchestra hit every wrong note possible in one burst, to create a cacophony
of sound that sent the audience into gales of laughter. Undaunted, John eventually brought all
under control for a very enjoyable experience.
Many thanks to the celebrity contestants. And as always, we appreciate the support of our
patrons and community. We look forward to many more exciting events and maybe even a few
surprises next season.

EMERALD POINTE MUSIC LOVERS
n 2004, Joan Lasley was asked to join
the Board of Directors of the Charlotte
Symphony. She was already an avid
audience member and knew that there
were many more in the Emerald Pointe
complex where she lived. It did not take
her long to get together a list of her season
subscriber neighbors. She invited everyone
to her home for a cocktail party with an
intention to raise enough money to sponsor
one orchestra ‘chair’ – at that time, $1,500.
In one evening, she and seventeen families
succeeded in raising enough to sponsor four
chairs – Concertmaster, Bassoon, Cello and
Timpani. Emerald Pointe Music Lovers
was off to a great start!
Today, there are eighteen contributing
families and the group will be sponsoring
the March 6 concert, presenting Brahms
Symphony #1 and the Sibelius Violin
Concerto with guest soloist Gary Levinson.
They have come a long way in the past
several years and continue to be excited
and enthused about the growth of the
Symphony. Joan has lived in Punta Gorda
for many years, and says that she and her
late husband used to travel some distance
for their symphonic concert experience.
But, when they were introduced to
the Charlotte Symphony and the new
performance space, they knew they would
not have to travel anymore. She comments
that, over the years, the performance levels
have continued to expand: “Everyone loved
Francis Wada and what he brought to the
music, then when Ponti arrived it just …
took off. I listen to these concerts and
think, wow – look what we have in little
Punta Gorda!”
Joan still hosts the Music Lovers’ annual
cocktail party and this year, Maestro Ponti
will be in attendance, mingling and talking
about next season.

INTERMISSION
JOHANNES BRAHMS
“I was raised with classical music. As
a child, Sunday dinners were pretty
formal and my father would play an LP
of some classical piece – he loved Debussy’s
Afternoon of a Faun. When I went to
college, I took my record player with me and
spent my ‘allowance’ on LPs. It is more than
wonderful to have live orchestral music of
such a high caliber so accessible and to be part
of making it happen!”

JEAN SIBELIUS
Violin Concerto, Opus 47 D minor
Finnish composer and violinist of the
in nature and Nordic mythology, especially
Sibelius (1865 – 1957) is widely recognized
of his major works continue to be performed
late Romantic and early-modern periods,
as Finland’s greatest composer and is often
credited with having helped his country
develop a national identity, through his
music, during its struggle for independence
from Russia.
In love with the violin at an early age, he
studied and practiced feverishly with the
dream of becoming a great violinist. Although
he enjoyed early success in performance and
composition, in his late 20s he came to realize
that his career was not to be the celebrated
soloist he had hoped to be, saying “My love for
the violin lasted quite long and it was a very
painful awakening when I had to admit that I
had begun my training for the exacting career
of a virtuoso too late.”
He married, began a family and entered a
long period of composition, conducting, travel,
indulgence and extravagance, which came to a
rather abrupt end in 1926. The last 30 years of
his life were virtually devoid of productivity,
or even any public discussion of his music.
the heroic legends of the national epic. All
and recorded in his home country and
internationally.
The Violin Concerto (his only concerto)
was written in 1904 and revised a year later.
The premiere of the work was not successful,
largely due to a late replacement for the
intended soloist and lack of preparation caused
by Sibelius having barely finished the work
in time for the premier concert. Sibelius
made significant revisions and premiered the
new version in 1905 with Richard Strauss
conducting. Once again, the soloist for
whom the piece was written was unable to
perform. Sibelius finally rededicated the work
to a young prodigy, who was not up to the
extraordinary technical demands. In 1924,
Sibelius himself performed the revised version
of the concerto, but it remained virtually
unknown to the world until 1991 when
Sibelius’ heirs permitted one live performance
and one recording.
Noteworthy in the symphonic concerto is

burned them in the fireplace of his living
room and found peace with closing the door
on this career.
Sibelius composed seven symphonies, but
some of his best-known compositions are
Finlandia, the Karelia Suite, Valse Triste
and the Violin Concerto. Other works
include over a hundred songs for voice and
piano, incidental music for numerous plays,
chamber music, piano music, Masonic ritual
music, and 21 publications of choral music.

(‘Adagio di molto’) begins with clarinets and
oboes, a solo voice accompanied by brass and
then flute. The third movement (‘Allegro ma
non tanto’) is widely considered one of the
greatest concerto movements ever written
for violin and has been described as original,
masterly and exhilarating. It begins with a
formidable showcase for the solo musician.
Then, the orchestra takes up a second theme,
and the clarinets and brass introduce the final
section. A brief orchestra tutti sets up the solo
violin for the thrilling finale.

JOHANNES BRAHMS
Symphony #1, opus 68, C minor
the pressure of his own internal comparison
with Beethoven. Although Beethoven
died five years before Brahms was born, he
was considered the master’s musical heir,
proclaimed by Robert Schumann as the one
carrying the torch of Beethoven. The burden
must have been almost crippling.
The connection between the two composers
is obvious. In fact, critical assessment dubbed
Brahms’ first symphony as “Beethoven’s
Tenth” noting the strong resemblances
throughout. Brahms was not pleased with
these ‘observations’, feeling that he was being
accused of plagiarism. He maintained that the
similarities were an act of conscious homage
to the composer he revered. It makes sense his
music would be a continuation of Beethoven’s
‘language’, as the young composer embarked on
the quest of his own voice.
The first symphony begins with a unique
introduction: low drumming, rising strings,
falling winds. Next, the Allegro section states
musical ideas, which are developed and restated
as their relationships are altered. The second
and third movements lighten the mood with a
gentle lyricism in the slow, Andante sostenuto,
evolving into a new treatment of the themes
from the first movement. Listen to the long
violin solo for shades of Beethoven, perhaps
the Missa Solemnis. The easy spirit of the
third movement is rich in complex rhythms
and interwoven textures.
The dramatic and moody introduction
of the Adagio freshens into the tune that
Brahms heard from an Alpine shepherd – of
which he wrote to Clara Schumann, “High
on the hill, deep in the dale, I send you a
thousand greetings!” and is reminiscent
of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. The last
section—Allegro non troppo, ma con brio—
contains the Beethoven-like main melody of
the grand finale.
I don’t want hymns at my funeral.
I want orchestra music.

DG¼QLW\
Brahms was a prolific German composer
who lived simply and spent his life composing
music. He loved nature and was devoted to
the people closest to him. Some of his most
cherished works are lighter compositions such
as the Hungarian Dances, which we heard in
the March 8, 2015 concert. Although some
critics feel that he was ‘at his best’ in smallscale compositions, he is perhaps best known
for large, complex musical structures. His
lifelong friend Clara Schumann said that he
was “one of those who came directly from
God” and that his true genius was in writing
for orchestra.
Our program features his Symphony #1,
which was written, from initial sketches to
finishing touches, over a period of twenty-one
years. At one point, Brahms considered it to
be a piano concerto, but time and continual
critical self-evaluation eventually sealed its
destiny as his first symphony. In 1868, he
sent a card to Clara, sketching an Alphorn
or London chimes tune that would become
the symphony’s finale. Even with its level of
development at this point, it would take eight
more years before the work’s premiere in 1876.
One of the strongest inhibitors for
Brahms in completing the symphony was

PROGRAM NOTES
March 20, 2016
MAURICE RAVEL
La Valse
Joseph Maurice Ravel (1875 –1937) was
a French composer, pianist and conductor
associated with Impressionism, along with
his elder contemporary Claude Debussy. In
the 1920s and ‘30s Ravel was internationally
regarded as France’s greatest living composer.
After studying in the conservative
environment of the Paris Conservatoire, he
developed his own style, which incorporated
elements of baroque, neoclassicism and jazz.
He composed pieces for piano, chamber
music, two piano concertos, ballet music, two
operas, and eight song cycles; many of his
works exist in two versions: piano score and
orchestration.
Ravel was among the first composers to
recognize the potential of recording to bring
their music to a wider public. From the
1920s, despite limited technique as a pianist
or conductor, he took part in recordings of
several of his works; others were made under
his supervision.
One of the composer’s most publicly known
works is Bolero, a seventeen minute orchestral
work that is, as he said, “without music - just
one long, very gradual crescendo”, yet he
referred to it as his “one masterpiece”. La
valse was written a bit earlier, completed in
1920, at a time of darkness in the composer’s
life, following the death of his mother, and a
war that deeply affected him. A choreographic
poem for orchestra, it was conceived as a
ballet, but became more often heard as a
concert work. It has been described as a tribute
to the waltz, a ‘one-movement design which
plots the birth, decay and destruction of a
musical genre’ and as ‘the most unexpected
of the compositions of Ravel, revealing to us
depths of Romanticism, power, vigor, and
rapture.’
There are many who say it is a metaphor
for the predicament of European civilization
in the aftermath of the Great War. Although
Ravel denied this intent, the music itself rather
tells the story – of a time of elegance, a worryfree lightness of life that becomes threatened,
frightening imminent danger, overwhelming
devastation, all despite an attempted coverup ‘this is just waltz, nothing is wrong’. The
audience is left to decide what it means, if it
means anything at all.
WILHELM RICHARD WAGNER
Tristan und Isolde, Prelude and Liebestod
Wagner (1813 –1883) was a German
composer, theatre director and conductor,
primarily known for his operas. Unlike
most opera composers, Wagner wrote both
the libretto and the music for each of his stage
works and revolutionized opera through his
concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk («total work
of art»), which was a synthesis of the poetic,
visual, musical and dramatic arts, with the
music subsidiary to drama. His compositions
are notable for their complex textures,
rich harmonies, orchestration, and the
elaborate use of leitmotifs (recurring themes
associated with a character, idea or situation).
His advances in musical language greatly
20 |
influenced the development of classical music.
Wagner’s life was characterized by political
exile from his beloved Germany, turbulent
love affairs, poverty and repeated flight from
creditors. His strong opinions were expressed
in controversial writings on music, drama and
politics, the effects and influences of which
can be traced in many of the arts throughout
the 20th century.
There is no doubt of Wagner’s place in
the operatic world, his legendary works
such as Tannhauser, Die Meistersinger,
Lohengrin, Das Rheingold, Die Walkure,
The Ring Cycle, and Tristan und Isolde live
on in testament to the composer’s innovative
musicianship, intellectual prowess and
personal passion. While his personal life,
politics or philosophies may be unsavory for
some, his music is sublime.
On this program, we will hear the “Prelude”
and the “Liebestod” (the love song of Isolde
upon Tristan’s death) from Wagner’s tragic
PROGRAM NOTES
love story, Tristan und Isolde, completed
in 1864. The opera holds a special place in
musical history; many view the work as laying
the foundation for the direction of classical
music in the 20th century, introducing
March 20, 2016
new ideas in harmony, melodic process and
operative structure. Some music historians
date the beginning of modern classical music
to the first notes of Tristan, which include
the reputed “Tristan Chord”. So much has
been written about (and by) Wagner’s life and
music; lovers of music history and theory can
read for hours – perhaps years! For many of
us, we will simply let the sumptuous music
wash over us and take us to another world.
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN
Symphony #7, opus 92, A major
The phenomenon that was Beethoven has
been the subject of many books and films;
a recording of his music was sent into outer
space with the two Voyager probes, along
with samples of images, languages and sounds
of Earth. He remains one of the most famous
and influential of all composers, and was
crucial in the transition between the Classical
and Romantic eras of Western music.
Beethoven composed nine symphonies,
the Seventh between 1811 and 1812. At its
premiere, the composer remarked that it was
one of his best works. Critics have called it
‘one of the most perfect symphonies ever
written’, and that it ‘gives us a feeling of true
spontaneity…. we (the audience) are borne
along on a floodtide of inspired invention’.
But what does it mean? In its own time,
analysts suggested scenes from a masquerade,
harvest merry-makers, the melancholy
of young love, a peasant wedding, even a
political revolution!
Beethoven himself rejected all
interpretations and, eventually the work
was proclaimed “untranslatable”. In 1935,
British musicologist Donald Francis Tovey
proclaimed that this symphony could be
viewed only “as abstract art….about melodic
shapes, tunes and vestiges of tunes, about
harmony and the effect that a new chord
can make and build up, about keys and the
effect one key can have on another, about
the relationship of wind to string to brass
instruments.” In that spirit, critic Richard
Freed describes the Seventh as “a triumphant
discourse by a man intoxicated with the spirit
of creativity itself ”.
Conductor
This is Raffaele Ponti’s third season
as Maestro of our Charlotte Symphony
Orchestra, which has grown and flourished
under his leadership. His superb musicianship
and dynamic personality have attracted
professional musicians and guest artists
from around the world, resulting in sold-out
concerts for the past two seasons.
Ponti’s professional career began at an
early age. At seventeen, he performed
in the trumpet section of the Rochester
Philharmonic and two years later, he became
assistant principal trumpet to Bernard
Adelstein of the Cleveland Orchestra.
He is the former Principal Conductor and
Music Director of the Italia Konzert Opera
International, where he continues as a regular
Guest Conductor. For ten seasons, he served
as Conductor of Education and Outreach with
the Austin Symphony. Currently, he appears
with prominent orchestras around the United
States and Europe and also is the Artistic
Director and Conductor of the Paducah
Symphony in Paducah, Kentucky.
Maestro Ponti is a champion of music
education in the community and is responsible
for the establishment of the orchestra’s
“Symphony Kids” program, which includes
Maestro Visits to every third grade class in
Charlotte County each season, culminating
in a free Youth Concert. His community
outreach also extends to adults, with preconcert classes and his innovative program
“The Symphony as a Business Model” which
has attracted new businesses and patrons to
the orchestra.
His drive and vision on the podium,
as well as in the community have led the
symphony to earn the prestigious Charlie
award for “Outstanding Achievement in the
Arts”, Florida Weekly’s “Best” and Harbor
Style Magazine’s “Best Performing Arts”
organization. Last year, he was honored with
a Proclamation given by the Mayor and City
Council Members of Punta Gorda.
Raffaele Ponti’s reviews have dubbed him
a “rising star”, “charismatic”, “electrifying”,
“empowering” and his audiences agree. We in
Southwest Florida are indeed fortunate that
he has made this his home.

GARY LEVINSON
G
Guest Artist
ary Levinson and Raffaele Ponti
met last year in Miami, through a
mutual friend, and as Gary says, “It
was almost pre-determined that we would
work together”. The two men clearly share a
taste for many types of music, have the same
passion for performance and music education.
When Maestro Ponti extended the invitation
to perform the Sibelius concerto, one of the
works with which Levinson is most often
associated, it was a natural ‘fit’.
No stranger to ‘fate’ or ‘pre-determination’,
Gary was born to a musical family in St.
Petersburg (then Leningrad), Russia. His
father is the renowned Double Bassist Eugene
Levinson, whose musical career brought him
to the U.S. in 1977, where he was Principal
Bass with the Minnesota Orchestra. Eight
years later he moved to the New York
Philharmonic, joining his son in the city and
all the musical opportunity it had to offer!
Before completion of Gary’s undergraduate
study at Julliard, he was chosen by Zubin
Mehta to join the New York Philharmonic.
Then, in 1991, upon graduating with his
Master’s of Music, he made his solo debut
under the baton of Erich Leinsdorf. By this
time in his career, he had won the top prize
at the 1986 Romano Romanini International
Violin Competition in Brescia, Italy, as well
as being the top American at the 1987 Jacques
Thibaud International Violin Competition in
Paris, France. 22 |
In 1998, he became first violinist of the
prestigious Elysium String Quartet in New
York City and performed at the inaugural
season of the Mykonos International Music
Festival, as well as a gala concert honoring
the Elysium String Quartet at the United
States Ambassador’s Residence in Athens,
Greece. Since 2002, he has served as the
Senior Principal Associate Concertmaster of
the Dallas Symphony and, in 2013, he was
appointed Artistic Director of the Chamber
Music Society of Fort Worth.
Throughout his career, he has been active
in various music festivals in the United States
and abroad, including the Aspen Music
Festival, the Strings Festival in Steamboat
Springs, Colorado, Sunflower Music Festival,
the Florida Music Festival in Sarasota, Utah
Music Festival and the Arcady Music Festival
in Maine. Currently, Gary is the Senior
Violin Professor and Director of Strings of
the Miami Summer Music Festival in Miami,
Florida.
One of the many unique characteristics
of this violinist is his instrument. Gary
Levinson performs on an Antonio Stradivari
violin, which was crafted in 1726. The
storied instrument was stolen from the Dallas
Symphony Orchestra’s concertmaster in 1985,
resurfacing 20 years later at an auction and
recovered by the Orchestra. Its first public
performance was given by the Trio Virtuosi,
with Gary on the violin, at the Brooks Center
for the Performing Arts in Clemson, Texas.
In describing the experience, he says, “Each
Stradivarius is special in its own way and this
one fits me exceptionally well.” It was another
pre-determined moment for the musician.
When he was offered the instrument for his
exclusive use, he said, “I knew in the first five
minutes that this was an instrument I should
play.”
Available CDs are Classics for Everyone with
harpist Merry Miller, Vivaldi Four Seasons,
Tchaikovsky Souvenir with the Minnesota
Sinfonia Chamber Orchestra, and My New
York Years, which includes selections with his
father, and the Complete Beethoven Violin and
Piano Sonatas with acclaimed pianist Daredjan
Kakouberi.

RICHARD CONDON
n December 3, 2015, the Symphony lost a dear friend with the passing of Dick
Condon. Dick was a member of our Board of Directors and also had served as
Treasurer.
Dick was born in New Haven, CT in 1935. He graduated from Trinity College in 1957 with
degrees in Chemistry and Physics. He was married in 1958 to Tricia Alexander and was the
father of four children.
Dick was employed by the Perkin-Elmer Corporation for 20 years in Connecticut and
Illinois, progressing from research and development where he was a pioneer in the invention
of analytical instruments, then rising to senior management. Later in his career he served as
president, board member and consultant for several analytical instrument companies.
Dick’s true calling was the water and his love of sailing began when he was a student at
Trinity college. During the summer he started sailing small boats, gradually moving up to
crewing on 40-50 foot boats. With his experience, he and his friends crewed on any racing boat
they could find. Dick was happiest at the helm in red shorts, sockless, with topsiders on his feet
and a salty breeze in his hair.
Dick was active in civic affairs and served as Commodore of the Isles Yacht Club where he
contributed to the post-Charlie build of its new clubhouse and campus.
Music was of major interest to Dick. When he was very young he was an active orchestral
percussionist. Needless to say, when he discovered the growing development and quality of
music the musicians under the direction of Maestro Ponti can produce, he was thrilled to be
able to participate in supporting this wonderful asset to our community.

FROM THE PODIUM classes may
go because of their interest in music,
or because a friend told them to, or spouses
have dragged them there, harboring long ago
memories of Music Appreciation Class…
along with rolling eyes, yawns and watching
the clock.
Once in the room, seeing the Maestro in
action as a combination of musician, standup comic and all-around charmer, they are
usually – well – shocked. It is clear there is no
boredom in this class!
Maestro is dedicated to building his
audience, and in a way that does not just put
people in the seats at a concert. He wants to
get people ‘turned on’ to the entire experience.
He wants them to know the composers, what
makes them unique, why their music has stood
the test of time. He wants them to know how
to ‘listen’ and the pay-off is the enhanced
experience these happy students have when
they attend the concert a few days later.
Whether or not participants are new to the
Symphony or have grown up with classical
music, Maestro Ponti has a gift for them – his
attention. One person commented, “I have
been a devoted concert-goer all my adult life
and we had a wonderful symphony orchestra.
In all those years, not once did the Conductor
speak to us – anywhere, any time. Maestro
Ponti makes a personal connection like no one
else. It makes all the difference.”

SouthWestern State College in Punta Gorda.

THE PRESCRIPTION IS MUSIC
by Nanette Crist
I
n 2011, Dr. Ramon “Tony” Gil
launched the Charlotte Symphony
Orchestra’s Medical Grand
Rounds program. The program’s
objective is to galvanize the medical
community’s support of the Orchestra
through presentations highlighting the
connection between medicine and the
arts (with a primary focus, of course, on
music).
The program has been both
financially successful—raising $110,000
in just four years—and popular with
medical professionals and lay people
alike.
programs as a means of combatting
physical, emotional and cognitive
disorders. Dr. Oliver Sacks’ use of music
with dementia patients is a striking
example that served as the subject of an
MGR presentation by Dr. Gil.
Rather than give a lecture, Dr.
Insights from our Maestros
The Physical Pleasure of Music
Dr. Gil often introduces Medical
Grand Rounds (MGR) events with
the tantalizing tidbit that dopamine
is released into your system when you
listen to music you enjoy. Dopamine
is a chemical compound associated
with pleasure and is similarly released
when you have a wonderful meal. The
thought that listening to the Charlotte
Symphony Orchestra perform could
have this effect on its audience is
powerful indeed.
From Neurology to Psychiatry
“The relationship between medicine
and the arts is fascinating,” Dr. Gil says.
“There are many different angles to
explore.”
The scope of MGR programming has
shown just how true this statement is.
Presentation topics have ranged from
the growing use of music therapy to the
effects of psychological conditions on
the creative process.
Increasingly, medical professionals
are incorporating music into treatment
26 |
Dr. Segundo Imbert from Florida
State University then applied forensic
psychiatry to connect those behaviors
to bipolar disorder. A look into Berlioz’
composition history revealed incredible
productivity during manic phases. The
session was rounded out with musicians
Gerardo Perez Capdevila and Remy
Tavares performing excerpts from
Berlioz’ music.
Dr. Ramon Gil
Gil used modern video technology
to allow Dr. Sacks himself to talk
about his research. “Music,” Dr. Sacks
said, “touches memory and emotion
otherwise completely inaccessible [to
patients].” The video went on to show
an Alzheimer’s patient transformed
from a nearly inanimate object to a
spirited person bobbing his head and
talking about the past when a song from
his youth was played. The impact on the
audience was palpable.
The most recent MGR presentation
hypothesized that composer Hector
Berlioz suffered from bipolar disorder.
Dr. Gil presented a biography of Berlioz
emphasizing behavioral problems
that suggested psychiatric issues.
While the Medical Grand Rounds
program is targeted to medical
professionals, the presentations are not
overly technical and can be enjoyed
by the general population. In fact, the
presenters themselves haven’t always
been doctors.
During his tenure as maestro, Francis
Wada gave a lesson about the varied
seating arrangements of orchestras
throughout history, analogizing the
functions of different orchestral sections
to those of the heart and lungs. More
recently, Maestro Raffaele Ponti spoke
about the personality traits that drive
musicians to choose the instruments
they play. (Readers may recall that
Maestro Ponti played the trumpet
before becoming a conductor. In his
talk, he characterized trumpet players as
the troublemakers in the orchestra.)
Audience Accolades
As both a doctor and a musician
(he plays clarinet and saxophone), Dr.
Douglas Joyce has a unique perspective
on the program.
The first Medical Grand Rounds
session he attended focused on how
musicians neurologically process music
differently than the man on the street.
He immediately recognized his own
reactions to music in the discussion.
“I can literally feel different parts
of my brain being triggered when I
start listening to or playing music,” he
said. “But it’s something I never really
thought about before.”
Surprisingly, Dr. Joyce and his wife
Michelle had never been to a Charlotte
Symphony Orchestra concert when
they attended this Medical Grand
Rounds presentation. They are now
avid supporters of the Symphony and
Medical Grand Rounds.
Punta Gorda Councilwoman Kim
Devine attended the program about
Berlioz after some arm-twisting by Dr.
Gil. She expected a dry lecture and a bit
of regret over giving up a portion of her
Saturday. She now says she can’t wait for
the next MGR session.
“There was not one boring moment,”
she said. “The combination of
neurologist, psychiatrist and musician
dissecting and interpreting Berlioz’
personality was fascinating. “
She continued by commenting, “If
people understood what the Medical
Grand Rounds program is, it would
definitely have more support.”
Creating a Cultural Legacy
While educating the public about
the relationship between the arts and
medicine is a worthy endeavor, this
isn’t what drove Dr. Gil to establish
the Medical Grand Rounds program.
When asked about his motivation,
he responded with his own question.
“What are we leaving behind as a
cultural legacy here in Charlotte
County?” he asked.
“It’s our responsibility to enhance the
level of culture,” he said. “This is crucial
to our ability to keep young people in
our community and to draw doctors
and other professionals to our area.” Dr.
Gil believes the Charlotte Symphony
Orchestra is synonymous with local
culture and that the financial support
the Medical Grand Rounds program
provides the Symphony is a direct
contribution to the future of the county.
Other Medical Grand Rounds
supporters agree. “Charlotte County has
benefited so much from the Symphony,”
Dr. Joyce said. “I see my contributions
to the orchestra as a way to support the
community.”
Dr. Gil’s hope is that other groups
will get on the bandwagon. “I’d love to
see local lawyers and other professionals
create their own vehicle to support
the Charlotte Symphony,” he said. For
now, Dr. Gil extends an invitation
to community members to see for
themselves what the Medical Grand
Rounds program is all about.
Best Wishes
for a successful

T
he Charlotte Symphony has lost
an enthusiastic advocate with the
passing of Charlie Scheu. A radio
professional for his entire career, Charlie was
a dedicated contributor to the Seaview 104.9
station in Punta Gorda for many years. He
was champion of the arts and, in particular, a
friend to the Charlotte Symphony, hosting our
Artistic Directors and symphony executives
frequently on his three hour morning
broadcast. Concert-goers also heard his
mellifluous voice in the pre-concert welcome
at each Symphony program.
His true calling was in radio. Charlie met
and married his soul mate Bev in Indiana in
1964. Charlie dazzled audiences in Indiana,
North Carolina, and New Hampshire and hit
the big time with WPGC in Washington,
D.C. Eventually they ended up in Punta
Gorda where Charlie decided to get a
retirement job to keep him busy. Some 30
years later he had become “The Voice of
Charlotte County”.
Charlie was deeply respected by his
colleagues, many of whom were given their
professional start by him, and many who
became life-long friends. He will be missed
by all his radio show fans and those who had
the honor of knowing him.
Symphony Chairman Ken Barber said,
“Charlie did so much for the Symphony.
At a time when even the existence of our
fine orchestra was not well known in the
community he invited Maestro Ponti and
Regina Buckley onto his radio broadcast
before each concert. He was instrumental
in ‘getting the word out’ on the Symphony. Whenever we had the chance to meet and
talk, he always asked how he could do
more for us. He did so much. We’ll always
remember how much he contributed. He was a
big man with a giant heart.”

SELBY FOUNDATION AWARDS GRANT
TO
T
he William G. Selby and Marie
Selby Foundation of Sarasota
announced the award of a grant
to the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
for $60,000 to repair and modernize the
sound system at the Charlotte Performing
Arts Center.
CPAC, built in 2002, is managed by
Charlotte County Public Schools, and is
the performance home of the orchestra,
the high school’s music and drama
productions, and other organizations,
including the Charlotte Players, Charlotte
Chorale and Gulfshore Opera. In
2004, Hurricane Charley damaged
the audio system internally, including
the sound board which controls the
system. A lack of adequate funds has
prevented the Charlotte schools from
making permanent improvements and
the Orchestra has had to hire an outside
sound company for each performance to
improve the audio quality of the center.
Last June, Ellen Harvey, Curriculum
& Instruction specialist in the Fine
Arts for the school system, and Regina
Buckley, Charlotte Symphony Orchestra’s
Executive Director, who had worked
together on state grants for the schools
and the Orchestra’s children’s concerts,
got together to seek a solution to the
sound system problem. Ms. Buckley
submitted the proposal in August.
The Orchestra received approval for
the $60,000 in December from Dr. Sarah
Pappas, foundation president, who, in an
interview with the Charlotte Sun, said:
“We like to reward proposals from groups
that collaborate and partner. Partnerships
in the community are important.” She said
A Spiritual home
the awards process was “very competitive,
and the proposal was scored highly by our
board.”
Pappas said the fact that so many other
groups other than the Symphony and
the school system benefit from the use of
the facility added weight to the scoring
process. Also, she said, “we like to serve
the people of Charlotte County.”
As a clincher, she added, “it’s such a
beautiful performance place, and the need
was great.”
Symphony Board Chairman Ken Barber
said, “I want to sincerely thank the Selby
Foundation for their generous grant, and
the Charlotte County schools for their
participation in this collaborative effort,
which made the grant possible.
I’m also pleased that this project will
benefit not only the Symphony, but
everyone who uses CPAC. It is very
important to everyone who needs superior
clarity and volume control for both music
and voice.”

YOUR FIRST SERVICE WITH THIS AD

Most individuals are familiar with the
benefits of making lifetime donations to
charitable causes and organizations. In
addition to outright gifts during your lifetime,
there are additional estate planning techniques
that can be used to achieve significant tax
benefits while furthering your philanthropic
support of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.
Bequest in your Will or Trust. One
way to fulfill your philanthropic goals is to
provide for a particular charitable cause or
organization in your estate plan. The amount
going to charity can be stated as a fixed dollar
amount or as a percentage of the remaining
assets. If you are inclined to support a
particular cause, you can often designate
the purpose for which the bequest is to be
used. Generally, charitable bequests in your
will or trust result in an income or estate tax
deduction for your estate or trust.
Direct Gift of Appreciated Assets. Before
making a lifetime gift of cash to a charitable
organization, consider donating appreciated
stock or other appreciated long-term capital
assets. Subject to certain limitations, you
receive an income tax charitable deduction
equal to the fair market value of the asset and
do not recognize gain on the donation or sale
of the asset. The charitable organization can
sell the appreciated asset without recognizing
capital gain on the sale.
Individual Retirement Accounts
(“IRAs”). Traditional IRAs and other
retirement accounts are generally taxdeferred holdings that grow income tax
free. Income tax is paid as you withdraw
from the account over your life expectancy.
Often, the IRA is not fully withdrawn
during the owner’s lifetime, and it is left
to a beneficiary at the owner’s passing. If
the IRA is left to an individual (i.e. not to a
charitable organization), the individual will
pay income tax as she or he takes money out
of the account (and may also be subject to
estate tax). On the other hand, if you name a
charitable organization as the beneficiary of
your IRA, the charitable organization receives
the account and with no income or estate tax
levied on the assets held in the IRA. In years
past, lifetime rollovers of retirement accounts
were a great way to make charitable gifts from
pre-tax money. This option expired at the
beginning of 2015, although it is possible that
Congress may re-introduce this opportunity.
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust
(“CRAT”). A CRAT can be thought of
as a fixed annuity—usually expressed as a
percentage of the fair market value of the
property that was initially deposited in the
trust. Again, the payout can be made over
your life, the lives of additional beneficiaries,
or a term of years. At the end of the annuity
term, the remaining assets in the trust pass
to a charitable organization. You receive an
income tax charitable deduction in the year of
its creation, based on the estimated value of
the remainder that will eventually go to the
charitable organization.
Charitable Remainder Unitrust
(“CRUT”). A CRUT can be thought of as
a variable annuity. You make an irrevocable
transfer of assets into the trust and the trust
pays you a percentage of the value of the trust
assets recalculated each year. Therefore,
the amount that you receive can go up or
down depending on the value of the assets in
the Trust. At the end of the trust term, the
remaining assets will pass to the charitable
organization you have chosen. Again, you
receive an income tax charitable deduction
in the year the trust is created equal to the

Charitable Lead Annuity Trust
(“CLAT”). A CLAT approaches the whole
idea of charitable giving from a different point
of view. In a CLAT, the charity receives
income for a certain term or for your life. At
the end of that term, or at the end of your
life, the assets in the trust then pass on to
your beneficiaries. As the donor, you receive
an income tax deduction in the year that
you create the CLAT for the amount that
is estimated as going to the charity over the
annuity term. However, during the term of
the CLAT, you pay income tax on the amount
of income going to the charity even though
you are not receiving it, but instead the charity
is receiving it.

MAESTRO CONDUCTS THE
CHARLOTTE HIGH SCHOOL BANDS
n 2011, there was one band in Charlotte
High School – the Silver Kings marching
and concert band – with fifty students
participating. In 2012, the Jazz Band was
formed, and last year the Honors Band, which
was the brainchild of the Band Directors of
Pt. Charlotte, Lemon Bay and Charlotte High
Schools, was initiated. Today, there are about
120 students in the combined programs. Band
Director Paul Montanari says that his only
goal is to get more kids involved and enjoying
music – at whatever level they want - and to
keep growing! Paul moved to Pt. Charlotte
five years ago. Originally from Plymouth
Massachusetts, he has lived in Ohio,
Wyoming and New Mexico, gaining teaching
and musical experience along the way.
His commitment to the program is obvious
and he is open to new ways of stimulating
and nurturing his young musicians, including
working alongside Maestro Raffaele Ponti in
their rehearsal sessions.
Paul says that having the Maestro share his
wisdom and love for music with the various
bands is great. “The kids like it. Working with
different people gives them fresh perspective.
Maestro seems to really enjoy the kids – he’s
really terrific with them.” Paul added, “I learn
new things too – it’s good for everyone!”
Maestro Ponti’s work in the high school
is sponsored by a grant from the National
Endowment for the Arts. Beginning last
November, he has had a full schedule,
dividing his time between the Freshman,
Concert, Symphonic, Jazz and Honors bands
and will continue through March.

TEMPO VISITS
THE CHARLOTTE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
I
“Charlotte Community
Foundation proudly supports The
Charlotte Symphony Orchestra,
and thanks Maestro Raffaele Ponti
and all the magnificent musicians
who bring beautiful music to life for
the residents of Charlotte County!” have driven by this building several
times a week, and have actually been
inside it many times. I watched it being
built. But I never really knew what was going
on inside the walls. I did not know what a
‘Community Foundation’ was. The tagline
reads “Connecting People Who Care With
Causes That Matter’. Lovely. Well, I care. I
have causes that matter – to me. So, how does
the Community Foundation fit into my life?
There are a lot of people in our community
who have a philanthropic desire. They may
be at a time in their lives when gratitude
has kicked in – for what they have been
given, for organizations or individuals
who have profoundly affected their lives.
They may have developed deep concern
for the environment, a great love for the
Arts, a personal attachment to a healthcare
cause. They may simply wish to support a
community that they love. “People Who
Care”.
The Community Foundation provides
personalized services and consultation to these
people – and it is important to note that we do
not have to be millionaires - in establishing
permanent funds that will enable them to
contribute to organizations near and dear to
their hearts, today and forever. “Causes that
matter.”
The Community Foundation then serves
as a resource to non-profit groups within
our community, providing needed funds for
specific goals. In 2015, the Community
Foundation awarded $515,184 in grants and
scholarships in Charlotte County.
Perhaps the most important role the CF
serves is the “Connecting” part: establishing
partnerships with professional advisors
who work with their clients on a daily basis
creating personal and family legacies, reaching
out to individuals with special interests,
making them aware of specific projects
and providing what they call ‘convening’ bringing people in the community together to
combine resources for common goals.
CEO Julia Steele is passionate about the
Community Foundation, ready and willing to
sit down and tell anyone about the work they
do and how easy it can be for ‘people who care’
to make a difference in their community.
So, sometime when you’re driving down
Olympia and you see the lovely Community
Foundation building on the corner of Cross
Street, take the next left on Sullivan, pull
into their parking lot and go pay a visit to the
office. Pick up some information from Jan or
Julia. You will have one more reason to love
where you live.
