So, I was at the Prairie earlier this month and was struck by this really familiar looking guy... So, who is this guy? I was told he was Jeff Johnson's intern (in Group Sales) for the summer... and, as he walked up closer, I realized it was Dylan Riley who soloed with the ISO on a Side-By-Side concert several years ago. OMG! Of course!! (I haven't gotten older, have I? Only he has, right?)
Side-By-Side is an annual ISO Learning Community program for high school musicians. Students audition, train, rehearse and perform with their professional counterparts from the ISO and the result is an awesome concert with 100+ people on the Hilbert Circle Theatre stage and a concerto solo or two.
Dylan is now a Marketing Major at Butler University and was one of our student concerto soloists on the Side-By-Side concert in 2005. He performed Koussevitsky's Movement 1 from Concerto in F-sharp minor for Contrabass and Orchestra.
Below is a pic of his performance with us. Richard Clark from Butler University was the SxS conductor and in the background you can see Nami Akamatsu and Greg Dugan from the ISO bass section and the tops of Michael Strauss and Nancy Agres' heads from the ISO viola section...
But wait!! There's more!! Andrew Lannerd (ISO house manager) has an intern out at Prairie too this summer! It's this guy with a beard... Wait, it can't be!? It's Jack Musick who was also in Side-By-Side! Below is a pic from the 2006 SxS orchestra with Alfred Savia conducting. Jack is sitting at the 2nd cello stand with ISO cellist Perry Scott.
Unbelievable!
It's a wonderful thing to have students involved in past ISO programming return to our organization to give of their time and talents and learn along the way!! We are extremely fortunate to have talented interns in our midst keeping us all on our toes!
There must be something special about these past Side-By-Side students and the ISO... Current ISO Learning Community staff member, Laura Spelde Leverton was also a Side-By-Side student many moons ago... her senior year "side-by-side" experience was actually my first day of work at the ISO in 2000. She went off to college and came back to intern with us several years later. Now, she's been employed here for about 4 years as our Community Liaison. Brian Seitz, our Box Office Manager, was a SxS student many moons ago!!
Wow! Small world! It's nice to have 'em all back!!!
