History

The Eugene Junior Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1934, supported by the newly-formed Eugene Junior Symphony Association.[2] Founders included Mrs. C.A. Horton and Genevieve Tugman.[3] The first conductor was Rex Underwood, and Delbert Moore was assistant conductor.[3] In 1946, Douglas Orme became conductor, and the association began providing scholarships to musicians for private lessons.[3]

The orchestra was renamed the Eugene Junior Symphony Association (EJSA) in 1959. EJSA sponsored a second orchestra, Junior Strings, conducted by Nathan Cammack, as a feeder orchestra for the Junior Symphony. In 1987, EJSA became the Eugene Youth Symphony Association (EYSA), with Richard Long its first music director. The Junior Strings added woodwinds, brass and percussion and became the Eugene Junior Orchestra.[3]

EYSA became the Arts Umbrella in 1994, broadening its scope to include dance and drama classes. In 1995, David Chinburg became conductor of the Junior Orchestra, and the organization also sponsored a Cadet Orchestra (now called the Little Symphony), led by Forrest Moyer. A fourth orchestra, Encore Strings, was added to the existing program, later becoming String Academy 2.[3]

The Arts Umbrella received the Fentress Award in 2004, for "exceptional work and achievement in the arts".[4]

Richard Long continued to serve as the director until the beginning of the 2009 season.[5] The 2009 season was directed by Dave Chinburg, and orchestra conductors included University of Oregon music professors Robert Ponto and Fritz Gearhart for the first half of the season, and Lane Community College music instructor Ron Bertucci for the last half of the season. Jason Duckles was hired then as Youth Symphony conductor.[5] Myra Tam became executive director.[3] In 2011 Michele Pound was appointed executive director and Dana Demant became Junior Orchestra conductor.[3]

The eightieth season, in 2013, saw the organization renamed yet again as the Eugene-Springfield Youth Orchestras (ESYO),[3] celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2014 with a "concert extravaganza". Alumna Tracy Bonham Fine debuted her new song, "We Are the Future," at the concert.[6]

Jason Duckles conducted the Youth Symphony from 2010–2015. He noted that the long tradition of nonprofit youth orchestras reflects the values of the community.[6]

Karen Doerfert became conductor of the Little Symphony in 2013, and in 2014 Holly Spencer was hired as ESYO's Executive Director.[3]

The orchestras are now funded by a Eugene-based non-profit organization that provides arts education opportunities for children in Lane County, Oregon. The Eugene Youth Symphony performs several concerts annually and has been conducted since 2017 by David Jacobs, director of orchestral studies at the University of Oregon.[7]

Programs

Modern programs of the Eugene-Springfield Youth Orchestras include two string academies, the Little Symphony, the Junior Orchestra, and the Youth Symphony.[8]
