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 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, 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
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.
• The CHP has engaged professional soloists including hornists Kimberly van Pelt and
Kurt Kellan; trumpeter Tim Hudson; cimbalom player Petra Berenyi; pianists Barbara
Rowan, Fritz Whang, Elizabeth Tomlin, Greg McCallum, Thomas Often, 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 Arsenia Brickley, Marc Callahan, Jeanne
Fischer, Eugene Galvin, M lissa Martin, Jay Pierson, Emily Scheuring, and Timothy
Sparks.
• 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.
• 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 CHP 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 (see
below).
• 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, 2018: A classical concert featuring Respighi's "Fountains of Rome"and
with guest soloist Anna Lampidis performing Mozart's Oboe Concerto.
• May 6, 2018: A classical concert featuring Dvorak's Symphony#6 and the winner of
the 2018 Young Artists Competition.
• Summer 2018: Chamber music concerts with members of the Cl-IF.
Proposed Uses of Grant Funds
The grant is requested for the October children's program, partially covering costs for
seven weekly rehearsals,the dress rehearsal, and the concert. This year's program is centered
around the narrated composition"The Composer is Dead", with music by Nathaniel Stookey
and story by Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket. The piece introduces the various
instruments of the orchestra in the context of a mystery investigation featuring the
characteristic dark humor of Lemony Snicket. Like Prokofiev's"Peter and the Wolf',the
piece is a deft mixture of entertainment and musical education. Premiered by the San
Francisco Symphony in 2006, "The Composer Is Dead" has since been performed by major
orchestras across the United States. TbeCHP has a special connection to the composer—
Stookey lived in Chapel Hill in the early 2000's and was a member of the orchestra's second
violin section.
Guest conductor Andrew McAfee initiated the first children's program in 2007 and it
has been an annual event since 2009. Past concerts have included works such as Rossini's
"William Tell Overture", Saint-Saens's"Carnival of the Animals", and Britten's"Young
Person's Guide to the Orchestra". The orchestra also mixes in contemporary music like John
Williams's"Harry Potter" and Klaus Badelt's "Pirates of the Caribbean". Though the theme
of the concert varies from year to year, the goal is always to inspire, educate, and entertain
young listeners. The children's concert traditionally draws the CHP's most diverse
audiences, evenly split between elementary-school-aged children and adults.
The October program will be held in the informal space of Kenan Rehearsal Hall,
allowing the audience of 250-300 people close access to the orchestra. Because the concert 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.
Grant funds have been requested to help pay the salary of the music director, a harpist,
rental costs for performance and rehearsal venues, and rental costs for the music. Remaining
expenses for the p ject(not covered by the grant request) include program printing costs and
salaries of the technical staff.
The orchestra pursues a low-cost approach to publicity for our programs, using word-
of-nuoutb, flyco, 00|iuuco|cudurs, novvspoperliodnDo, oue+nui| |ist, dhe PeachJar school
calendar, and social media to promote our events.
The CUP does not have a formal process for evaluating 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.

"Chapel Hill Philharmonia and Soloists B 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. Costumi 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 bezaubemd
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 "0 zitt're oicbt," she introduced herself as a mysterious and stately character,
but later, in "Der Hölle 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 uriu^^Aub, ich Mill'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 duot^^0ei Mauucmm, vvn|cbeLiche fUb\oo"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 evcut..."
"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

it. Mr. Oehler handed his baton to a young boy. The boy stood up and began using the baton
to the beat of the music. Soon a quiet group of children stood behind him. Without a word
the boy handed the baton to the next child. Never have I seen such enthusiasm for music or
witnessed such well-behaved children... The Chapel Hill Philharmonia has brought a great
gift to our region, sharing its love of classical modern music with an audience of all ages."
"Halloween Treat is a treat for Chapel Hill children"
Chloe Lackey, Daily Tar Heel
Article from October 2015 Concert
It was all treat and no trick.
Children of the Chapel Hill community were invited to listen and take part in the
Chapel Hill Philharrnonia's latest concert, "Halloween Treats."
The concert was held yesterday in Kenan Music Building, and both children and
adults attended. Guest conductor Evan Feldman not only led the performers but also
encouraged audience participation.
The Chapel Hill Philharmonia, which consists of only volunteers, hosts performers of
all ages and professions.
`^I think it's our mission to reach out to the community and bring them classical
music," said Chapel Hill Philharmonia President Rosalind Goodwin. "They can come and
enjoy it, learn from it, and participate in something tbo1ixby the community."
Goodwin is also part of the orchestra, playing violoncello.
The program featured nine Halloween-inspired pieces. To further enhance the
atmosphere, members of the symphony dressed in costumes, like the Statue of Liberty and
Charlie Brown.
Children in the audience were given a special treat by being invited to sit on the floor
at the front of the room, right next to the orchestra.
Orchestra member Elizabeth Johnson said she appreciated how each piece had an
element of interactivity and fun.
"I think it's wonderful to bring kids into classical music in an accessible, fun and
interactive way," she said.
The first piece, "March of the Little Goblins" by Adam Glaser, had the orchestra
members marching into the room.
Other pieces featured the clicks and dings of a typewriter, the sounds of the audience
cheering and the noise of rattling maracas wielded by audience members. The Philharmonia
took great lengths to make sure the children and audience members were engaged and
involved.
Even adults were asked to take part in Beethoven's^^Storm"from his"Pastoral"
Symphony No. 6. Those with phones were prompted to guess what the piece was about and
send a text with their ideas, displayed on the screen overhead.
Elias and Solomon, Sons of Johnson, both agreed on their favorite piece.
"'Pirates of the Caribbean' was my favorite," Elias said,jumping with excitement.
At the end, Strauss' "Thunder and Lightning"was reprised, and kids who volunteered
were allowed to conduct the audience after being taught how to conduct. A long line of
children formed next to the conductor's podium, and Feldman assisted in helping each one
wave the baton.
"This really is wonderful for children, because they can see instruments afterward and
conduct," Goodwin said. "They really get to hear a concert, but it's directed toward them."
