Welcome to the 15th Annual
Jazz in the Pines
On behalf of the Associates of Idyllwild Arts Foundation and
the Idyllwild Arts students who will benefit directly with scholarship
funds from the 15th-annual Jazz in the Pines festival, I would like to
welcome you. This event could not be possible without the support
of more than 250 volunteers, dozens of community organizations
and our sponsors who have all understood the value of the festival,
since its inception the summer of 1994.
Weekend festivities begin with the annual Patron’s Dinner Dance
Friday, Aug. 22, with entertainment by Yve Evans, Bob Boss and
Ali Haltam, along with Idyllwild Arts alumni Jason Jackson, Evan
Christopher and the Graham Dechter Trio. Tickets for this incredible
evening are $235 and include admission to both days of the festival,
special patron’s seating and parking. Patrons will be pampered with
incredible gourmet food, fine wine and many special surprises.
This year, we’ve brought a bit more refinement to the overall
festival with boxed lunches from Bristol Farms, wine tasting from
Trinchero Family Estates and bottled water from Solé Water all
near the Picnic in the Pines area. Make sure you purchase a Jazz in
the Pines commemorative glass. Now in its second year, the popular
Saturday night BBQ and jam session costs only $20 and is held in
the Idyllwild Arts Nelson Dining Hall. Seating is very limited.
The Associates and the Jazz Committee are pleased to present a
weekend of many of the best jazz groups in the music industry today.
On Saturday, Aug. 23, Lee Ritenour will headline and Sunday, Aug.
24, Dave Koz will take to the stage. Our illustrious musical director,
Janice Hope
Massage Therapist for over 15
years in Idyllwild.
“I love my work, helping
people feel better! Clients feel
so uplifted when they leave, it is
a delight to see! Emotional wellbeing is a result of a physical de-stressing and an
opening to the love that you are and the Vast Love
that is with us.”
Practical Massage for de-stressing daily living, using a unique blend of techniques to assist the body
(“Issues in the Tissues”) feeling clearer in thought,
and a renewed sense of well-being.

one of the original creators of the festival, Marshall Hawkins has
once again assembled a stellar line-up of straight-ahead jazz, bebop,
blues, pop and even a little classical jazz for the tried and true fans.
Relax with a glass of wine and a nosh, and take in the breathtaking scenery of the towering pines while enjoying live jazz in one of
three outdoor venues, Holmes Amphitheatre, the French Quarter and
Stephens Recital Hall. Check the schedule of acts in this program
as you won’t want to miss a single performance. Schedule is subject
to change. In between watching acts, stroll along the path to find
dozens of artists and artisans with a wide spectrum of hand-crafted
merchandise to choose from.
As an added attraction, take a few minutes to explore the free
“Katrina Through the Eyes of Children” art exhibit in Meadow #7.
This thought-provoking art is a traveling exhibit from the kids who
had first-hand accounts of what it was like to survive a hurricane.
Your patronage is important to us and I hope we delivered on our
promise. Tell your friends about Jazz in the Pines and keep the vision
of education for talented young children alive. We’d like to extend
a special thanks to all of our sponsors and to our local merchants,
Café’ Aroma and Mountain Harvest Market, for their support of
the festival.
Each year the Jazz in the Pines Committee works diligently to
bring you, our supporter, a memorable experience. I think you’ll agree
that the 15th-annual festival is the best yet. Have a great time!

Ritenour’s Skills Extend From Jazz to Classical
Lee Ritenour is no stranger to Idyllwild. He performed at both the 1999 and 2004 Jazz in the Pines.
And he has filled smaller venues, such as Two Babes in
the Woods. A close friend and associate of local jazz
keyboardist Barnaby Finch of Idyllwild, Ritenour is very
popular on the Hill.
Ritenour, also known as “Captain Fingers,” has
more than 15 Grammy nominations. He has been playing guitar since he was 8. “I was always interested in the
guitar, even a rubber band on a broomstick,” he said.
“At 12, I told my father, ‘I think this is what I want to
be.’”
By then, he had gone through several guitar teachers. His father called Duke Miller, a well-known guitarist at USC, and said, “I have a talented son.” Talented
and dedicated, he should have said.
“As a teenager, sometimes I would practice eight to
10 hours a day. Now, it’s three to four hours, but not
every day,” Ritenour lamented. “I don’t have enough
time to practice much now.”
Ritenour, whose style is labeled smooth jazz, studied
classical guitar. “I wanted to learn as much as I could
about the guitar. There were no barriers stylistically for
me.
“I can enjoy the guitar work in the Beatles’ music as
well as Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery, Chet Atkins or
Christopher Parkening, an American classical guitarist.
If it was good guitar, I could listen.
“The classical technique is different
from jazz. You can’t blend them. But I do
try to use it,” he said.
His latest CD, “Smoke N’ Mirrors,” is
true to its intriguing and provocative title.
It takes listeners on a magical, multifaceted global journey unlike any
other in the legendary guitarist’s
three-decade, nearly 40-album
career. Inspired by his very first
trip to South Africa in 2005,
where he performed five hugely successful concerts at festivals in Johannesburg and
Capetown, with “Smoke
N’ Mirrors,” Ritenour
takes an expansive,
polyrhythmic approach,
working with musicians from
South Africa, Cameroon-West
Africa, Brazil, Columbia, Peru
and India.
Also joining him on this recording is an exciting
mix of old friends who happen to be some of America’s
top jazz performers. Among them are pianists Dave
Grusin and Patrice Rushen; drummer Vinnie Colaiuta;
and bassists John Patitiucci, Brian Bromberg,
Abraham Laboriel and Richard Bona. Eight
percussionists are on the record including
Sheila E., Alex Acuna and Paulinho Da Costa;
and on tables is Satnam Ramgotra
of India. Ever the innovator, Ritenour employs a total of 12 guitars,
his most ever, to achieve what can
only be described as sonic perfection.
These include the Gibson Lee Ritenour
model and a wide variety of baritone,
steel and high-string guitars.
“Smoke N’ Mirrors” also marks
the American recording debut of South
African singing sensation Zamajobe on three
songs, as well as the composing and recording
debut of Ritenour’s 13-year-old son Wesley,
a highly talented drummer. Wes adds brushes
to Zamajobe’s original song, the exotic call and
response anthem “Memeza,” and also composed
the graceful melody of the soulful and atmospheric “Stone Cool.”
Ritenour goes onstage at the Holmes Amphitheatre at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at the 2008 Jazz in
the Pines.

Many Talents Form Dave Koz’s Diverse Career
By Betty Bailey
Contributor
Dave Koz is a man of many hats: saxophonist,
composer, platinum recording artist, radio show host,
philanthropist and recording industry entrepreneur.
Next year, he will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame. This summer, Koz is Sunday’s star headliner at
the 2008 Jazz in the Pines Festival.
As master of tenor, soprano and alto saxophones,
Koz is regarded as one of the most expressive of contemporary musicians. His smooth jazz style has earned
Koz six Grammy nominations and the admiration of
audiences worldwide.
A native of Southern California’s San Fernando
Valley, Koz majored in mass communications at UCLA
but pursued his true passion of music immediately after
graduation. He toured as a band member with smooth
jazz vocalist Bobby Caldwell and with singer-songwriter
Richard Marx. He also played sessions with jazz pianist
Jeff Lorber and, since then, has performed with a long
list of famed musicians that includes Ray Charles, Burt
Bacharach, Rod Stewart, Celine Dion and Luther Vandross.
Koz went solo back in 1990, signing a recording contract with Capitol Records. With Capitol, he
released his debut album “Dave Koz” and later “Lucky
Man,” “The Dance” and “Saxophonic.” Four years later,
Koz called upon his communications background to
host a syndicated radio show, “Personal Notes,” which
later became “The Dave Koz Radio Show.”
Currently, “The Dave Koz Radio Show” is a twohour weekend show that features Koz’s favorite soft jazz
music and interviews with top jazz artists. The show can
be heard on 120 radio stations throughout the nation.

In Los Angeles, Koz’s show is broadcast on
94.7 FM, The Wave. Koz also is the host
of a nationally distributed afternoon
show on the Smooth Jazz Network.
Koz is co-founder of the independent
recording company
Rendezvous
Entertainment, which
represents a host of smooth jazz
artists, but he spends most of
his time on tour. His year-round
schedule includes a summer tour,
holiday tour and even a “Dave Koz
Cruise” tour with Holland America
Cruise Line.
Koz the philantropist holds the
title of Global Ambassador for the Starlight Children’s
Foundation, an organization dedicated to enriching the
lives of seriously ill children. He also served four years
on the Grammy Foundation Artists Committee and is a
National Trustee for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS). He also is a member of
the Board of Governors for the Grammy® Foundation.
When the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced its Walk of Fame nominees
for 2009, Koz’s name was on the list. Soon, he
will join the 2,000 celebrities and characters
whose names are embedded, in
five-point stars, in the sidewalks
of Hollywood. When Jazz in
the Pines 2008 is over, and Koz
continues his illustrious global
career, he will truly be part
of Idyllwild’s history. And, if
he’s like most of our mountain visitors, a piece of his
heart will remain here.

Three Jazz Cats Plus One Equals Fourbits
Fourbits is a creative expansion of the Southern
California band Triorbits (tree-OR-bits) by adding
trombonist Joey Sellers to the mix. The Triorbits are Paul
Carman on saxophones, Chris Symer on acoustic bass
and Kendall Kay on drums. The trio has a long history
that started with playing a weekly gig in Laguna Beach
for three years and recording the critically acclaimed CD
“What Are They Doing in There.” This led to becoming
the house band at the underground jazz series at the ARC
from 1999 to 2002, and playing most, if not all, of the
underground (and many above ground) jazz venues on
the West Coast. All three played with Sellers in other Los
Angeles jazz projects over the years. When it became time
for a fresh approach to the band, adding Sellers (and his
incredible compositions) to the group was a unanimous
decision, and Fourbits was born.
Carman (at right) has been playing jazz “his way”
around Los Angeles for more than 35 years. He is a
veteran of the Frank Zappa Band of the late 1980s. He
toured with Zappa and recorded on the aforementioned
CD plus “Make a Jazz Noise Here” and “Broadway the
Hardway.” Carman has led many of his own original
jazz groups over the years, including Mother Tongue,
E.S.P., Triorbits, Flying V and Fourbits. He has released
three critically acclaimed CDs under his name, and has
recorded and composed music for films.
Carman also is passionate and committed to jazz
education, having taught at USC, UC Irvine,
Cal State Fullerton, Saddleback College and
numerous high schools around the country.
He is the developer of the jazz teaching tool
“CD Metronome,” used in virtually every jazz
school in the world. He also mentors young
students into the jazz world. Carman
is a jazz instructor and saxophone
teacher at Idyllwild Arts Academy in
Idyllwild, where he resides with his
family.
Sellers has played and recorded with such notables as Dave
Liebman, Joe LaBarbara, Conrad Herwig, Bobby Shew, Mike
Formanek, Clay Jenkins, Toshiko
Akiyoshi’s Jazz Orchestra and the
Kenny Wheeler Large Ensemble.
He also is an award-winning jazz and
classical composer, receiving the Gil Evans Fellowship
in Jazz Composition, the Sammy Nestico Award and,
most recently, the Julius Hemphill Composition Award.
He is the only artist in history to have received all three
awards. Sellers was assistant professor of Jazz Studies at
Northern Illinois University (2001-2004) and is director
of Jazz Studies at Saddleback College (2004-2008).
Symer, originally from Santa Barbara, spent several
years on the L.A. scene playing with Robben Ford,
John Rapson, Bennie Maupin, Kei Akagi and
countless others. Since relocating to Seattle in
2002, Symer has developed a broad résumé by
adding fly-fishing and mountain biking to an
already diverse list of interests. Although
a complete list of jazz luminaries he has
played with would be woefully short,
he seems to show up in some wonderful situations nonetheless.
Kay was born in Durban, South
Africa, where he performed with
major African artists, including Steve
Kekana, Mike Makelemele, Johnny
Fourie, Alan Kwela and Izzio Gross.
In 1983, Kay moved to Texas to
study at North Texas State University,
graduating with a degree in jazz studies. Kay moved to Los Angeles in 1987
and has been playing and recording there ever since.
He has toured and recorded with Kenny Burrel, Phil
Upchurch, Bob Sheppard, Jeff Beale, Rickie Lee Jones,
Allan Broadbent, Kyle Eastwood, Bobby She, and many
others. He has virtually become “everybody’s favorite drummer” in the L.A. jazz scene. Kay is currently
endorsing D.W. Drums, Remo Drum Heads, Vic Firth
Sticks and Paiste Cymbals.

Peter Sprague’s Bands Explore a Musical Palette
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on Oct. 11, 1955, Peter
Sprague was raised in Colorado until 1963, when his
family moved to Del Mar. Inspired by his father’s love
of jazz, he took up the guitar when he was 12. By age
15 he was devoting all his time and energy to learning
music. He studied with San Diego jazz guitarist Bill
Coleman, played in his high school stage band, and
formed his first group, the Minor Jazz Quartet.
Following a year’s study at the Interlochen Arts
Academy, Sprague studied privately and performed
around the San Diego area until 1976. That year found
him moving to Boston to study with many notable
musicians, including Pat Metheny, Madame Chaloff and
Albin Czak (a classical guitarist).
Sprague returned to San Diego in 1978 and formed
a jazz group called The Dance Of The Universe Orchestra that featured Kevyn Lettau, John Leftwich, and
Sprague’s brother, Tripp Sprague, on saxophone.
Sprague has recorded many of his own albums
on Concord, Xanadu, and SBE record labels, and has
been a guest artist on many other records. Chick Corea,
Hubert Laws, David Benoit and Sergio Mendes are but
a few of the many great artists Sprague has worked with.
His debut with Corea’s band was a series of concerts
at Disneyland on Memorial Day weekend. In a review
the following day in the Los Angeles Times, Leonard
Feather called Sprague “... one of the emergent great
guitarists.” Sprague also worked with Corea on the film
score to the movie “The Cat Chasers” starring Kelly
McGillis.
Sprague is active in the music book world, having
self-published nine books: “The Sprague Technique,”
“SpragueSongs,” “Soliloquy Songbook,” “Blurring the
Edges Songbook,” “Brazil Jazz Songbook,” “Jazz Solos
of Charlie Parker,” “Jazz Solos of Sonny Rollins,” “Jazz
Solos of McCoy Tyner” and “Assorted Jazz Solos.”
Sprague’s “The Jazz Solos of Chick Corea” is published
nationally with Sher Music. Sprague also is the chief
organizer and transcriber for Corea’s music books. Hal
Leonard Publishing has released “Chick Corea’s Light
Years,” “The Eye Of The Beholder,” “Inside Out,”
“Chick Corea Collections,” “Beneath The Mask” and
“Paint the World,” all books executed by Sprague.
Sprague has been involved with GRP Records on a
number of projects. He arranged Corea’s song, “Spain,”
for the GRP All-Star Big Band record and video. This
tune was played by the likes of Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour, Dave Weckl, Ernie Watts, etc.
He was featured on Benoit’s GRP releases “Letter To Evan” and “Shaken, Not Stirred.” Also on GRP,
Sprague played with Eric Marienthal, Russell Ferrante,
Pilates
Strength Training
Injury Rehabilitation
Craniosacral Therapy

“This is going to be something tremendous,” said festival co-founder and musician
Marshall Hawkins. “African drums; storytelling in the song and the dance. You’re going to
see the reflection of the culture through the
song and the dance.”
Agindotan is no stranger to the mountains. He has been assisting with master classes
at Idyllwild Arts Academy since 1988 and is
a frequent performer at Jazz in the Pines. “He’s been
performing off and on for the past 15 years,” Hawkins
said. “This group that he’s bringing is a group of African
people. This is their own sound and their own message.”
When he was just a child, Agindotan, the son of a
Urhobo tribal chieftan, showed great promise as a drummer. With his father, Agindotan performed at Nigerian
national festivals and took part in drumming, dancing
and theater performances throughout West Africa. Agindotan studied with Nigerian music star Fela Kuti, whose
“Afrobeat” music combined African dance moves with
funk guitars and African beats. When Agindotan’s father
died, Kuti adopted Agindotan as his godson in a ritual
ceremony.

‘Katrina Through the Eyes of Children’
By Betty Bailey
Contributor
Renaissance Village was not a romantic outpost,
as the name would imply. It was a trailer park on the
outskirts of Baton Rouge, La., the largest of many communities set up by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency to house evacuees from Hurricane Katrina.
Renaissance Village was the temporary home of more
than 600 families.
“It was built on what used to be a cow pasture,”
said Megan Perez, manager of the “Katrina Through the
Eyes of Children” exhibit. “They took out all the greenery and laid down a bunch of rock and put out trailers
side by side. They [children] were traumatized from losing their homes and they were re-traumatized once they
moved to Renaissance Village.”
In the days after Hurricane Katrina, when survivors
were still coming to grips with the life-altering disaster,
Idyllwild Arts offered support. The school sponsored 11
Renaissance Village teens to attend the 2006 Summer
Youth Arts program and teacher volunteers traveled to
Renaissance Village to offer art therapy to the displaced
children.
Mental health professionals use art therapy, which
has proven to be effective in treating trauma and its
symptoms of anxiety and depression. The belief behind
it is that the creative process of self-expression helps
people achieve insight that can help solve problems.
Art therapy allows the creator to express thoughts and
feelings about their personal trauma in a safe environment, which provides empowerment and structure, and
facilitates closure.
As one would expect, the art produced by the children displaced by Katrina was heartfelt and intense. The
artwork of
the average
child often
features
houses,
trees, flowers
and pets.
The typical
artwork of
the Katrina
kids includes
helicopters
and rescue
boats, and is
punctuated with dead birds, alligators and snakes. When
constructing a cardboard town that included civic buildings, a school and a church, a 6-year-old insisted there
be a cemetery to bury lost relatives and pets.
“When we showed them at the jazz festival in New
Orleans, it’s the first time I have seen so many grown
men cry,” said Sister Judith Brun, Community Initiatives Foundation executive director. “This collection
certainly is overwhelming in the loss and fear that we see
in these children. Not only was it the loss and fear that
they experienced immediately, but the loss and fear that
they will be dealing with their whole lives.”
The poignant art created during the art therapy
sessions was first shown to the public in September
2007, when the “Katrina Through the Eyes of Children”
exhibit opened at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The
exhibit included drawings, photographs and three-dimensional artwork as well as videotaped interviews with
the kids.
The exhibit shown at Jazz in the Pines will feature
prints of the original artwork, which is being displayed
Lisa Falls (right) one of the team of art therapists who
accompanied local art therapist Karla Leopold to Grooms
Road, Renaissance Village, north of Baton Rouge, La.

Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Ga.
“We want to guard these prints well,” said Brun.
“We don’t usually let out the prints but Idyllwild Arts
has been so wonderful to us.”
Brun noted that the exhibit is not for everyone,
especially children. “These are not for people to casually
come and view. They are disturbing to see. We would
not want children stumbling upon them.”
Organizers hope that by sharing the artwork and
stories of these children they can help promote art
therapy as an effective tool for helping children dealing
with trauma. They hope to create a trauma center for
children and teens, where programs will be developed
and health care professionals, teachers and artists can be
trained to respond to disaster situations and trauma in
children.

Students, Pros Make Up Seahawk Jazz Orchestra
By Betty Bailey
Contributor
The Seahawk Modern Jazz Orchestra is unlike any
other. It’s made up of professionals, teachers and students
from all parts of the globe who unite once a year at Jazz in
the Pines.
The “Hawk” in Seahawk is orchestra founder Marshall
Hawkins, who also co-founded Jazz in the Pines. Hawkins
fell in love with music at an early age. Born in Washington,
D.C., in 1939, his childhood home was filled with the
music of Bach, Verdi, Puccini, Duke Ellington, Nat King
Cole and gospel artists.
“I knew when I was 5 years old that something was
there,” said Hawkins. “I got goose pimples playing a toy
piano. It’s called the zone. You know when that message
comes through.”
Hawkins sampled many instruments, playing the organ in church and singing in the choir. He also played the
drums and, at age 12, won first place in a talent show for
playing the piano. It wasn’t until age 24 that he found what
would be his ideal instrument, the bass.
In the late 1960s, Hawkins traveled throughout the
country as part of the Miles Davis Quintet. In 1971,
he formed the Marshall
Hawkins Quintet and
played near D.C. for nearly
a decade. In the late 1970s,
Hawkins moved to California, where he played with
the late jazz vocalist Eddie
Jefferson and jazz saxophonist Richie Cole. In 1986,
Hawkins helped launch the
jazz program at Idyllwild
Arts and continues to serve as head of the department.
Five years ago, Hawkins started the Seahawk Modern
Jazz Orchestra. Each year, the orchestra honors a musician for his or her contributions to the art. This year, the
orchestra will play in honor of Sam Karam, from the class
of 1989, who was Idyllwild Arts Academy’s first five-year
student and the first academy student to graduate from
Juilliard School of Music in New York.
“It [the concert] is unique because the kids get a
chance to perform with the pros and some of the alumni
that are professionals,” Hawkins said. Hawkins said a record number of alumni are returning to the campus to play
in this year’s festival. They total at least 18.
“Benjamin Maas attended and graduated from
Idyllwild Arts Academy and
is now an incredible recording engineer,” said Hawkins.
“He’ll be in the orchestra with Evan Christopher, the
department’s first graduate from the class of 1987. Evan
Christopher [clarinetist] is about to finish his master’s at
Tulane, where he is a professor of jazz studies. And Jason
Jackson, from the class of 1989, who is one of the top
trombone players in New York.”
The music the orchestra plays is as varied as its members. “We play jazz standards and original music,” Hawkins
said. “We do stuff that’s Latin and stuff that’s Africanbased. We do stuff that’s Duke Ellington, John Coltrane.
We don’t just specialize in one idiom of jazz.” Even with
the variety, he said jazz is the common thread. “Jazz is an
American art form,” said Hawkins, “a true American art
form.”

Festival’s Success Depends on Associates
Who Are the Associates?
The Associates are a dedicated group of individuals,
families and businesses who support the educational
programs of Idyllwild Arts. More than 300 members,
both in Idyllwild and off the Hill, share a belief in the
vital role of the arts in our society.
Mission Statement
The Associates of Idyllwild Arts Foundation is a
group of more than 200 dedicated volunteers who organize fund-raising events each year to raise monies for
scholarships for Idyllwild Arts students. The Associates’
fund-raisers include concerts, auctions and the popular
two-day Jazz in the Pines, now in its 15th year. Jazz in
the Pines is staffed by Associates as well as many volunteers from the Idyllwild and surrounding communities,
and brings in audiences from throughout Southern
California and beyond. All proceeds from each of the
Associates’ events go directly to scholarships.
What Do the Associates Do?
• Raise funds for Summer Program and Arts
Academy scholarships through annual membership
contributions and fund-raising events.
• Maintain a special endowment fund for future
scholarships.
• Provide volunteer service to the school.
• Sponsor cultural activities for members and the
community at large.
How Does Jazz in the Pines Fit in?
All Jazz in the Pines profits are used directly for
Idyllwild Arts scholarships, both for the regular
school year and the Summer Program, providing an
opportunity to learn or polish skills in a variety of
arts disciplines, including jazz! Scholarships are based
on financial need, talent, and a program’s need to
strengthen a particular area. Funds also are dedicated
to children of single-parent families and to encourage
increased multicultural diversity in the summer.
Why You Should Join Us
Reasons for joining the Associates are as varied as
the individual members. Some join just to support
the scholarship program. Perhaps equally important
is working with others who care about music, theater,
dance and other arts. Some members love jazz and want
to get involved with our prestigious festival. If you are
new to our community, joining the Associates may be
your way to meet people and get acquainted. Whatever
reason, you’ll be joining a group of people committed to
giving talented young artists financial help.
Add a new dimension to your life.
Join us!

Idyllwild Arts Students: Beneficiaries of Jazz
Idyllwild Arts Foundation
Mission Statement
The mission of the Idyllwild Arts Foundation is to
promote and advance artistic and cultural development
through education in a beautiful, natural environment
conducive to positive personal growth.
The Idyllwild Arts Academy provides pre-professional training in the arts and a comprehensive college
preparatory curriculum to a diverse student body of
gifted young artists from all over the world.
The Idyllwild Arts Summer Program provides arts
instruction and experiences of the highest caliber to a
diverse student population of all ages and abilities.
History
Idyllwild Arts (formerly Idyllwild School of Music
and the Arts or ISOMATA) was founded by Dr. Max
Krone and his wife, Beatrice. Visionaries with a dream
of a remote place where people of all backgrounds could
come together to experience the arts, they established
the Idyllwild Arts Foundation in 1946 and purchased
acreage in the scenic San Jacinto Mountains on which to
build. In 1950, about 100 adult students began attending summer classes in the arts.
Over the years, summer activities have continued
to grow, expanding to include programs for children of
all ages, a special Family Camp, and the Distinguished
Artist Residency series. Classes in music, dance, theatre,
visual arts, writing and Native American arts are offered
to students from ages 5 to 85. Each year more than
1,800 adults and children attend Idyllwild Arts Summer
Program courses.
In 1964, the school was given to the University
of Southern California under the terms of an agree-
ment with the Idyllwild Arts Foundation. In 1983, the
Foundation exercised its option to resume independent
management and resumed sole ownership of the school.
In 1985, Dr. and Mrs. Richard H. MacNeal became
major benefactors of the school and provided the funds
to realize a long-time dream: the establishment of the
first independent boarding high school for the arts in the
western United States, the Idyllwild Arts Academy.
The Academy opened
in the fall of 1986 with
a student body of 70
students, grades 8–12. In
that first year, students
attended a nearby school
each morning for college-preparatory academic
Serving:
classes and returned to the
Steaks, Seafood, Lamb,
Idyllwild Arts Academy
campus to receive preDuck, Pastas, Lobster,
professional training in
Lobster Tacos,
the arts each afternoon.
Homemade Desserts
By 1990, academic classes
were held on the IAA
Cocktails
campus. In a remarkably
short time, the school
began attracting some of
the most talented young
artists from around the
Since 1973
world.
Today, the Academy is
a fully-accredited college preparatory school
in its own right and

the world. Headmaster William Lowman, deans and
faculty scour the U.S. and the globe to bring the most
talented students from Europe, Asia, Australia, South
America, Africa and North America back to California.
The Academy boasts a student-teacher ratio of 8:1, with
almost 50% of students receiving some form of financial
aid (an annual total of more than $2.5 million). During the Summer Program, the Academy has more than
1,800 students representing 45 countries.

Anne Finch-Volunteer of the Year:
Musician, Outspoken Leader and a Darn Good Friend
By Jeff Hocker
Executive Producer
Jazz in the Pines
If you ask the people who surround
Anne Finch about her personality, quite
a few adjectives are mentioned again and
again. Sparkling, intelligent, witty, fun,
exciting, talented, multi-faceted and most
of all, how does she get it all done?
A devoted Associate working tirelessly
on the annual Jazz in the Pines festival,
her mark has been left on virtually every
aspect of the event. Anne has always
taken her role seriously while keeping a
seemingly perpetual smile. Her business
and accounting background has given her
the savvy to know where to cut expenses
and find revenue opportunities. This is
no easy task for an event that has over
5,000 annual attendees, 300 volunteers,
35 committee members and over 100
vendors, sponsors and supporters.
Finch began her jazz fest philanthropy
by parking cars and has worked in many
of the different jobs necessary to produce
what is now known as one of the top
jazz festivals with a reputation of one that
transcends all cultures.
“Her extensive investment of time
has yielded significantly more revenues for the
Associates and its scholarship mission to continually
increase the level of donation given to Idyllwild
Arts Academy and Summer Program,” said Suzi
Capparelli, close friend, Associate and Jazz in the
Pines French Quarter organizer.

Anne and her incredibly talented musician
husband Barnaby, were chosen co-Associates of the
Year in 2006 for their dedication and hard work
with the Associates of Idyllwild Arts Foundation.
Anne often says that if it weren’t for her two little
beautiful papillons and two horses, she would travel
constantly. Some of her favorite travel destinations
include San Diego, New York or their
recent month-long trek to explore the
Atlantic Ridge from South Georgia Island
to the Canaries. If there’s adventure or a
good time out there, sign her up!
A passionate musician in her own right,
Anne’s latest love is the violin, which will
never take the place of her other favorite
instruments, the bass and banjo.
A lover of many genres of music, but
particularly fond of jazz, Anne is an avid
supporter of her legendary composer
and musician husband Barnaby, traveling
often with him to see his gigs. Barnaby
Finch, by the way, has toured with Lee
Ritenour.
“Each year, Anne and Barnaby produce
a fund-raising concert to continue to help
the Associates in their mission of raising
scholarship money for the incredibly
talented students attending Idyllwild
Arts. Their ongoing efforts allow the
entire community to come together for
a common vision and goal while at
the same time giving friends a chance
to laugh, dance and support a worthy
cause,” said Jan Goldberg, President
of the Associates of Idyllwild Arts
Foundation.
Anne Finch is one of those people
who instantly becomes a lifelong friend and
confidant. As the former Executive Director of
the festival, Anne has built a framework that will
allow us to continue to build on her legacy in our
ultimate goal of providing scholarship funding to
Idyllwild Arts.
