Young Peoples Symphony Orchestra (YPSO) Winter Concert will feature two winners of the orchestras 2016-17 Concerto Competition, music director/conductor David Ramadanoff, and 102 young musicians in a program of Alexander Millers Scherzo Crypto, Weiniawskis Violin Concerto No. 2, Angela Wu, violin, Korngolds Violin Concerto, Jonathan Altman, violin, and Rimsky-Korsakovs Scheherazade.
Each season, YPSO offers all members who have been in the orchestra for at least one full season the opportunity to enter the Concerto Competition to compete for the opportunity to play one movement of a concerto with the orchestra at a regular concert. Angela Wu and Jonathan Altman are two of the five YPSO Concerto Competition winners for the 2016-17 season.
Angela Wu, 13, is a freshman at Berkeley High School. This is her third season with YPSO. Angela started playing violin at the age of 5. When she was 8 she went to the Crowden School, which is also where she was acquainted with her violin teacher now, Heghine Boloyan. In 2014, Angela went on tour with Crowden to Montreal, Canada, where she got to play for the concertmaster for the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. In addition, she also got to play for Noah Bendix-Baugley, the Kronos Quartet, and the Baumer String Quartet. Other than solo, Angela also enjoys playing chamber music.
Jonathan Altman is an 11th grade student at Enochs High School in Modesto. He currently plays French horn in YPSO, and violin at the San Francisco Conservatory Pre-College program, and in the SFSYO. Jonathan began piano studies at age 4, violin studies at age 6, and horn studies at age 11. Jonathan joined the Modesto Symphony Youth Orchestra's senior division as a violinist at age 9. He has been a part of YPSO since 2012, playing violin in the orchestra for the first two years, and was a past winner of the YPSO concerto competition in 2013, in duet with Tanaeya McCoy, on the Holst Double Violin Concerto. Jonathan wants to study music in college, and loves singing and musical theater as well as instrumental music and music theory. He studies violin with Doris Fukawa of the Crowden School and the San Francisco Conservatory, and with Victor Romasevich of the San Francisco Symphony. He studies horn with Alicia Telford.
Celebrating his 28th season as Music Director/Conductor, David Ramadanoff conducts 102 YPSO young musicians who range in age from 12 to 19, and hail from 32 Bay Area cities in eight counties.
Founded in Berkeley in 1936, YPSO is the oldest youth orchestra in California and the second oldest in the nation. The 2016-17 season is the 80th season since violinist and conductor Jessica Marcelli founded YSPO at the suggestion of Clarabelle Bell, an amateur harpist and Berkeley resident, who got the idea after hearing a youth orchestra on a trip to Portland, Oregon.
