What do most youngsters do on a beautiful Sunday afternoon?
Head for the beach, maybe? Well, that’s not what some 150-200
youths who make up the Houston Youth Symphony do on their
Sunday afternoons. They make their way to the campus of the
University of Houston to study and rehearse under the direction of
outstanding teachers such as the celebrated Giscle Ben-Dor, the
highly acclaimed conductor who has conducted orchestras on
three continents.
Newly appointed music director and conductor of the Houston
Youth Symphony, Gisele Ben-Dor will conduct the 80-mcmbcr
orchestra when they open their 41st season Sunday, Nov. 13 at 7
p.m. at University of Houston’s recently renovated Cullen Audi-
torium.
Among the outstanding talents this year is current soloist 16-
year-old Stephanie Kurtzman, a residentof Meyerland and a violin
student of Fredell Lack, who last year distinguished herself as the
featured soloist performing the Brahms Violin Concerto with the
University of Houston Orchestra and on lour in Louisiana at
Louisiana Slate University. That same year she appeared in
concert with the University of Iowa at Ames and later added the
title of 1987 winner of the Corpus Christi International Siring
Competition to her list of credits.
“Rehearsals this year are really constructive, said Stephanie
Kurtzman. “Mrs. Ben-Dor is incredibly musical and accurate. She
communicates so well with the musicians making the rehearsals
fun, the way a learning experience should be. She has a wonderful
sense of humor and I love it.”
Stephanie Kurtzman began studying the violin at the age of four
and by the time she was 10 had joined the Houston Youth
Symphony. “I was instantly attracted to the violin,” explained
Stephanie, whose favorite piece is Beethoven’s Violin Concerto.
“I just really liked the sound of it,” she added. An eleventh
grader at Tenney School Stephanie has set her goal at becoming
a professional musician and guest soloist who will perform
concerts around the world.
Among tire selections on the
upcoming program, Stephanie
looks forward to performing
the exciting and imaginative
work “Pictures at an Exhibi-
tion” by Russian composer,
Moussorgsky which chal-
lenges the violin while provid-
ing major solos for saxophone,
trumpet, and euphonium. The
concert will also include
Mozart’s “Horn Concerto No.
4” and Lohengrin, “Prelude to
Act III” by Wagner. ‘These
works were chosen because
they each provide exciting
pans for all sections," slated Stephanie Kurtzman
conductor Gisele Ben-Dor,
