Organizational Profile
The Chapel Hill Philharmonia(CHP), originally named the Village Orchestra, was
formed in 1903 to provide a setting for local amateur musicians to meet and perform together
as a symphony orchestra. The CHP's mission has remained consistent over time:
• Offer accomplished volunteer adult and student instrumentalists an opportunity to
play together in an orchestra
• 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 CHP's early years active membership was approximately 50 players and the
group played two or three concerts per season. Since the year 2000, under the leadership of
Prof. Donald Oehler, the orchestra has grown to more than 85 active players and now
presents four free concerts per season, reachi 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
sometimes still 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 e joyment and the enjoyment of others.
In addition to growing in size, the orchestra has broadened the scope of its activities in
recent years:
• Beginning in 2005, the group has given a few premieres of new works by
contemporary composers, including Eddie Bass(partially funded by an OCAC 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.
• 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.
The 2015 children's program was partially funded by an OCAC grant.
• Starting in 2015, the orchestra has sponsored summer chamber music concerts
featuring orchestra members. Though this program is still in its infancy,the CHP
hopes to reach audiences in smaller, less formal venues through these concerts.
• 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 orchestra has always been primarily supported by member donations. In the past
few seasons the CHP has tried to diversify its funding sources, starting a small endowment
fund in 2013, selling some advertising in our programs, applying for local grant funding, and
collecting small donations at concerts. The group's revenue plan for the current year is 60%
from member donations, 10%from endowment returns, 15% from grants and 15% from
outside sources.
The CHP is governed by a board of directors elected from the ranks of the orchestra.
Most organizational chores are performed by volunteers, though the music librarians and
stage managers are paid a nominal fee.

Current Programs and Services
The CHF' is planning five different programs for 2017-2018 and is also supporting its
annual Young Artist Competition:
• October 22, 2017: A children's concert with guest conductor Evan Feldman.
• December 10, 2017: A classical concert featuring music from Khachaturian's
"Masquerade" and Beethoven's Symphony#2.
• February 2018: Auditions for 2018 Young Artists Competition. Winner performs in
concert with the orchestra in May. Runners-up read their repertoire with the orchestra
in rehearsal.
• February 25, 2010: A classical concert featuring Respighi's"Fountains of Rome"and
with guest soloist Anna Lampidis performing Mozart's Oboe Concerto (see below).
• May 6, 2018: A classical concert featuring Dvorak's Symphony#7 and the winner of
the 2018 Young Artists Competition.
• Summer 2018: Chamber music concerts with members of the CHP.
Proposed Uses of Grant Funds
The grant is requested for our February program, partially covering costs for six
weekly rehearsals, the dress rehearsal, and the concert. The February program provides an
opportunity for the orchestra to perform with a professional guest artist selected by the music
director. Working with a soloist offers the chance for the group to reach for higher standards
of performance both in terms of technical polish and musical expression. Past soloists
include hornists Kimberly van Pelt and Kurt Kellan;trumpeter Tim Hudson; cimbalom player
Petra Berenyi; pianists Barbara Rowan, Fritz Whang, Elizabeth Tomlin, Greg McCallum,
Thomas Otten, and Dana Protopopescu; saxophonist Matthew McClure; clarinetist Donald
Oehler; and violinist Yoram Youngerman. OCAC grants have been used to partially fund
trumpeter Paul Neebe; violinist Jennifer Curtis; and singers&rseuiu0ciok)e�, Marc Callahan,
Fischer, Eugene Galvin, Melissa Martin, Jay Pierson, Emily Scheuring,
and Timothy
Sparks.
Our soloist for February, Dr. Anna Lampidis, is on the faculty of the UNC
Department of Music. In addition to her teaching duties, [Jr. Lampidis is an established artist
actively performing all over the world (see Artist Profiles). The CUP offers its soloists a
small honorarium of$1000 for their services. Along with the scheduled concerto, the
orchestra will perform Respighi's"Fountains of Rome", one of the seminal classical
compositions of the 2/ �y century.
The concert will be held in Moeser Auditorium, with an estimated audience of 250-
300 people. Because the program is free, the audience is socio-economically diverse,
offering a live music experience to many who cannot afford a traditional classical concert.
The dress rehearsal (on Saturday morning) is also open to the public, serving those with
children who may feel uncomfortable in a more formal concert setting and those who are
unable to attend an evening concert.. A modest free reception follows the concert, giving a
chance for the audience to meet the musicians.
Grant funds have been requested to help pay the salary of the music director, rental
costs for the use of UNC Music Department facilities, stipends for harpists, and an
honorarium for the soloist. Remaining expenses for the p 'ect(not covered by the grant
0 include program printing costs, salaries of technical staff, and reception costs.
The
nf-ruoutb flyers, online calendars, newspaper lisitings, an e-mail list, and social media to
promote our events.
The CHP does not have a formal process for evaluati our concerts. However, the
main thrust of the orchestra's efforts during the year is continuous improvement for both
individuals and the ensemble. The group makes archive recordings of each concert, allowing
musicians the chance to assess their performance.

"From Shadow to Light: Chapel Hill Philharmonia Performs with Great Heart"
Karen E. Moorman, CVNC
Review of February 2015 Concert �
"...The Omtoftvvo guest artists, Jennifer Curtis, performed BLn|phl/uughanV�/\\iuonx' "The
Lark }\oceudin&." A favorite of violin aficionados,the composition leaves plenty of room for
artistic expression. Curtis took advantage of this, playing with great assurance and glorious
tone. She bowed every note from what seemed ioben palette o[infiuito color— and with
such ease! What puts her in a league of great improvisers is her ability to stretch and
compress time, almost imperceptibly. The o,obaa1rav/us exceptionally responsive, and the
audience was genuinely moved.
...Otten played Mozart's Concerto No. 20 in D minor(1785) with utmost authority. He
immediately allayed my angst about performing this with such a large orchestra. To my
delight, the orchestra carried it off. Each of the piano solos was like a jewel in a crown,
Otten's phrasing was luxurious, with buoyant rhythmic precision; and his embellishments,
like freshly ironed lace, were articulate and clean. It was a superb performance and the
perfect conclusion for this part of the concert. ,,
...This program was supported by the Orange County Arts Commission."
"Want Some Potato Dumplings with That? The CHP Visits Middle Europe"
John Lambert, CVNC
Review of February 2014 Concert �
^^ The last p/orkvvnu Bartok's Piano Concerto No. 3, called hyn1uoyY�o�b Carolinians
"The Asheville Concerto" because it was in part composed there and because embedded in it
are musical imitations of the bird calls the composer heard while in the Western NC town. It
was played by Greg McCallurn, one of our best resident concert artists... McCallum and the
orchestra were triumphant at every turn in this wonderful but still too-little-appreciated
masterwork. (It often reminds one of Prokoiiev's Third.)The orchestra and soloist played
with technical polish and with enthusiasm bordering on exuberance, resulting in a rip-
snorting performance of the fiery parts with more than sufficient love pouring forth from the
reflective sections, including that gorgeous slow movement (marked "Adagio religioso"). It
was in retrospect easily among the best work of the CHP to date that I have heard — and from
McCallum, too... Udxrvosocnooerttorernomhcc"
"Pianist Elizabeth Tomlin Shines in Schumann with Chapel Hill Philharmonia"
John Lambert, CVNC
Review of December 2009 Concert
"Duke-based pianist Elizabeth Tomlin was trained, in part, at UNC, so it was something of a
homecoming for her to play Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto in Hill Hall, accompanied by
the Chapel Hill Philharmonia. She's a wonderful artist, and she made a very strong case for
this potentially problematic work, one in which the soloist has so many heartwarming turns if
only the orchestra can avoid engulfing the guest. Happily, that was the case on this occasion—
conductor Donald L. Oehler seemed to take just the right approach with his substantial
orchestra, urging them to lay low during the soloist's prime bits. The CHP did so, admirably,
resulting in one of the more felicitous performances of this tried-and-true concerto heard here
in many moons. Only the horns seemed to miss the mark, and then only occasionally. It was
so good, indeed, that I'd urge anyone to go out of the way to hear Tomlin again. And indeed,
it was good on the orchestra's part, too— this was surely among its best performances to date.

Review of December 2006 Concert

orchestra, playing the department's matched pair of Steinways (which, ironically, are singers—Terry Rhodes and Stafford Wing). This concerto is one of Mozart's most
felicitous inventions, and the interplay between the soloists and with the orchestra was
wonderful to experience... The Chapel Hill performance was warmly received —
The second half of the concert was devoted to a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No.
5... Oehler and his musicians threw themselves into the music, and the results were
amazingly fine, with solid contributions from the horns and other wind and brass sections and
with inspiring resonance coming from the lower strings, in particular. The audience loved it,
demonstrating once again ibnmodtofoonomooityo,choo1zupedbrouuoceso[ihoc|noyiox, oi

"Chapel Hill Philharmonia Stretches its Envelope"
John Lambert, CVNC
Review of February 2005 Concert
"^ The pièce de resistance of the evening was the world premiere of a trumpet concerto by
Eddie Bass, distinguished Professor Emeritus of Composition at UNCG, whose music has on
several occasions been premiered in Chapel Hill. This time, the commission was engineered
by soloist Paul Neebe and funded in part by the Orange County Arts Commission .... The
clincher for the CH Philharmonia was that the OCAC stipulated the piece be premiered by a
community orchestra, and Oehler and Co.jumped at the opportunity, for as the Maestro noted
in his pre-concert comments, musicians can spend whole lifetimes in the trenches
withoutever participating iuu"first parfornnunce."
The new work, Suite ('oncertante, is a trumpet concerto in all but name, but it is in four
movements, presented in the format of a suite as opposed to the traditional three-movement
concerto. The movements Alborada, March, Nocturne, and Caccia are, as the
composer's brief program note states, rich in character— richer, indeed, and more varied that
one might expect from a more traditional concerto. Neebe is a spectacular player whose work
this writer has long admired, and ii he were an organist, one would be tempted to say he
pulled out all the stops, for he played three different instruments-- a standard trumpet, a
horn with alto characteristics, and what looked and sounded like a version of a baroque
trumpet— during the course of the work. The slow third movement is intimate and
reflective, as its name implies; it involves a small jazz ensemble, and for it drummer Thomas
Stevens joined Neebe at the front of the stage. All the music is tonal, immediately accessible,
and engaging Dnrutbeoutscta|| (bevvoyh` itsb|miogDour, undNcebcuudtbe CHP clearly
gave it their all, delivering an impressive performance that had all the requisite qualities --
good balance with the soloist and within the band, solid ensemble, considerably clarity, and
lots of dynamic contrasts. It's something of a tradition to say ofanew piece that's really good
that one would welcome the chance to hear it again-- and it's often safe to say, 1on, since
repeat performances of contemporaly works are so rare, but this one merits reprogramming,
and here's hoping the CHIP and other groups will take it up post-haste. ..."
