Organizational Profile
The Chapel Hill Philharmonia(CHP), originally named the Village Orchestra,was
formed in 1983 to provide a setting for local amateur musicians to meet and perform together
as a symphony orchestra. The CRP's four-fold mission has remained consistent over time:
• Offer accomplished volunteer adult and student instrumentalists an opportunity to
play together in an orchestra
• Provide an environment that allows orchestra members to develop their musical
talents
• Inspire both adults and children to appreciate, study, and play classical music by
providing free classical music concerts
• Encourage musicians of all ages to strive for musical excellence
In the CUP's early years active membership was approximately 50 players and the
group played two or three concerts per season. In the last 15 years,under the leadership of
Prof. Donald Oehler,the orchestra has grown to more than 75 active players and now
presents four concerts per season,reaching a total audience of around 1200 people each year.
The CHP is open to musicians without audition and draws members from Chapel Hill,
Carrboro,Pittsboro,Durham,Apex, Cary,Raleigh,Wake Forest, Sanford,Burlington, and
Mebane. Musicians span a wide range of occupations, including scientists, engineers,
teachers,physicians,homemakers, students, and faculty members. The youngest players are
usually in their teens,while the oldest are over 80. What they all share is a love of music
and a commitment to playing it for their enjoyment and the enjoyment of others.
In addition to growing in size,the orchestra has broadened the scope of its activities in
recent years. Starting in 2001,the group has performed numerous concertos with
professional soloists,including hornists Kimberly van Pelt and Kurt Kellan;trumpeters,Paul
Neebe and Tim Hudson; cimbaiom player Petra Berenyi;pianists Barbara Rowan,Fritz
Whang,Elizabeth Tomlin, Greg McCallum, and Thomas Otten; saxophonist Matthew
McClure; and violinists Yoram Youngerman and Jennifer Curtis(partially funded by an
Orange County Arts grant). Beginning in 2005,the group has given a few premieres of new
works by contemporary composers,including Eddie Bass (partially funded by an Orange
County Arts grant), Terry Mizesko,Jay Greenberg, Garth Molyneux, and Ann Millikan. In
2008,the orchestra first teamed with vocal students from the UNC Music Department to
present a concert of opera arias and ensembles. Repeated again in 2012 and 2014,these
"Divafest'programs have allowed developing singers the rare opportunity to appear with full
orchestral accompaniment. The orchestra has also occasionally collaborated with other area
ensembles,including the Chapel Hill Community Chorus (2009),the Piedmont Youth
Orchestra(2012), and the Chapel Hill Youth Violin Ensemble(2012). The group presents an
annual children's concert,which is described in detail under Proposed Uses of Grant Funds.
The orchestra has always been primarily supported by member donations. The CHP
started a small endowment fund in 2013 and has also had some success with local grants.
Unfortunately, in 2013-2014, due to university budget constraints,the CHP began paying an
annual rental bill of$1500 for the use of space at the UNC Music Department, adding more
than 10%to its annual expenses. This year Hill Hall Auditorium will be under renovations,
so the group will incur still more costs to rent venue space for its performances. The group's
revenue plan for the current year is 70%from member donations, 10%from endowment
returns, and 20%from outside sources.

Current Programs and Services
The CHP is planning four different concert programs for 2015-2016 and is also
supporting its annual Young Artist Competition. Detailed programs and exact dates are still
to be determined.
• October 25,2015:. A children's concert with guest conductor Evan Feldman featuring
music associated with Halloween.
• December 2015: A classical concert with guest conductor Evan Feldman.
• February 2016: Auditions for 2016 Young Artists Competition. Winner performs in
concert with the orchestra in May 2016. Runners-up read their repertoire with the
orchestra in rehearsal.
• February 2016: A classical concert with conductor Donald Oehler.
• May 2016: A classical concert with conductor Donald Oehler featuring Hindemith's
"Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes By Carl Maria von Weber"and the winner
of the 2016 Young Artists Competition.
Proposed Uses of Grant Funds
Under the leadership of guest conductor Andrew McAfee,the orchestra initiated a
children's concert in 2007 and has made it an annual event since 2009. With attendance of
around 300 (evenly split between elementary-school-aged children and adults),this concert in
particular reaches beyond traditional classical music audiences. Held in the informal setting
of Kenan Rehearsal Hall,the children's programs are designed to entertain, educate, and
inspire, especially encouraging active listening and engagement with the music.
Scheduled for October 25,2015,this year's concert will be similar to prior CHP
children's programs. Because the concert is free,the audience tends to be more diverse in
income level than most classical music audiences. A typical children's program includes a
combination of some of the following elements:
• A musical introduction to individual instruments or orchestral sections
• Selections of recognizable repertoire or music with broad appeal
• Visual components (for example animations or photo sequences) demonstrating
music's capacity to enrich visual images
• Music used in combination with narration to show how music tells a story
• Opportunities for audience participation with the music through sing-a-longs,
clapping,kazoos, etc.
• Chances for children to try their hands at conducting the orchestra
• Musical appearances by young performers
• An instrumental"petting zoo"after the concert, allowing children to see,hear, and try
instruments up close
The attached sample CD includes short examples from past CHP children's programs. Also
attached are a sample program, sample mini-flyer,and photos from past children's programs.
Grant funds have been requested to help pay the salary of the music director,rental
costs for the use of UNC Music Department facilities, a stipend for a guest harpist, and music
rental costs. Remaining expenses for the concert(not covered by the grant request)include
program printing costs, salaries of technical staff,and costs of our archival recording.

Past Reviews Spring 2015 Arts Program Application
"Chapel Hill Philharmonia and Soloists Bring Mozart to Children"
Chelsea Huber, CVNC
Review of October 2014 Concert
"Kenan Rehearsal Hall at UNC Chapel Hill was nearly filled to capacity with children
and parents eager to hear the Chapel Hill Philharmonia play selections from Mozart's famous
opera Die Zauberflote, or The Magic Flute. An array of soloists,mostly current students or
graduates of UNC Chapel Hill,performed the various roles of the opera with the
Philharmonia. Since the concert was geared towards young children, it was more interactive;
rather than sitting in chairs with their parents, children sat in a group directly in front of the
orchestra and soloists, allowing the soloists to sing directly to their young audience.Narrator
Stafford Wing explained the opera's story in between each number,often speaking his
synopsis in the form of humorous rhymed verse.
The first selection was,naturally,the Overture to the opera; a playful flute melody
was introduced among the other instruments,hinting at the theme of the opera. The first vocal
selection was Papageno's aria"Der Vogelfanger bin ich ja," sung by Evan Adair with
humorous expression. Costuming was minimal,but the half-bird-half-man Papageno was
depicted with several colorful feathers.When Adair mimicked playing the flute with a
sparkly party whistle,he was successful in making the children laugh, involving them in the
storyline of Mozart's work. The prince Tamina's first aria"Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd
schon"was sung by Drew Meyer,who provided a contrast to the previous selection with a
wistful love song.
One of the highlights of the afternoon was decidedly the performance of Diana
Thompson, a professional coloratura soprano who played the role of the powerful Queen of
the Night. With"O zitt're nicht,"she introduced herself as a mysterious and stately character,
but later, in"Der H611e Rache,"she was convincingly angry and devious. Both of these arias
contained impressive vocal runs, showcasing the difficulty of operatic singing clearly to
children,parents, and the rest of us. Thompson depicted the duplicity of the Queen,whose
composed anger sometimes leads to desperation.
The Queen's character is contrasted with the character of her(supposed) daughter
Pamina, especially with the aria"Ach, ich Mhl's, es ist verschwunden."Slow string pulses
accompanied the mournful tune, sung convincingly by Charlotte Jackson.Kayla Hill also
shared in played Pamina, singing the duet"Bei Mannern,welche Liebe Mhlen"along with
Nick Danker as Papageno. This duet,in an elegant slow waltz tempo,is romantic and
pastoral.Notably, a beautiful horn melody is interwoven between phrases here. In addition,
the expert dynamic control of both singers and the orchestra was apparent.
To close the concert,the Philharmonia performed Strauss's energetic"Radetsky
March," and the children were invited to play little plastic flutes and dance around to the
music,which was quite charming. Also, conductor Donald L. Oehler allowed several children
to"conduct"the orchestra in his place,which rounded out the interactive event..."
"The Gift of Music"
Sandra Marlow
Letter To Chapel Hill News
"Last night I was lucky to attend one of the most delightful concerts of my life. The
Chapel Hill Philharmonia was performing a free concert in the Kenan Music Building. I did
not expect to find the room so crowded or the large number of children. One of the adults
whispered to me it was a children's concert. The children were of all ages and so well
behaved. It was a pleasure to watch how they and their parents were equally enjoying the
music. The conductor,Donald Oehler, explained each piece before the orchestra performed
