Ravinia 2024 Issue 2

About Reach Teach Play Ravinia’s Reach Teach Play education programs serve thousands of young people across the Chicago area each year. Reach Teach Play’s many offerings provide underserved children and families with music education and live music performances in their schools, communities, and at Ravinia through a portfolio of high-quality and inclusive programs, including Sistema Ravinia. This transformational orchestral program fosters social development year-round through daily small-ensemble and orchestral training for 3rd–12th grade students in Chicago and Lake County public schools. National Seminario Ravinia extends the vision of Reach Teach Play to open doors for everyone to access and experience the positive impact of music and create pathways for continued success. “Bringing this diverse group of kids together from around the country is such a special experience,” said Christine Taylor Conda, Director of Ravinia’s Reach Teach Play education programs. “We hope that students will see that this movement, El Sistema, is much larger and more connected than just their local ensemble or community, that they will be challenged musically, and that they will develop lasting friendships.” NATIONAL SEMINARIO RAVINIA ORCHESTRA VIOLINS Linn Bergvall Carolyn Canty Lisa Chen + Ayden Chrisman Tomas Colmenares Kyriaki Driva Emilie Duncan Marycarmen Elizalde + Ana García Kristen Lee Naima Miller Daniel Moreno Matias Oyarzun Dylan Quintana Jennifer Ramos Alba Reyes Giselle Rodríguez Manny Salazar Samuel Solorzano Joseas Sosa Camila Villegas Tiffany Weng Kawtar Ajlani Melanie Becerra Mia Bergvall Isabella Cortez-Mendez Jazmine Dozal Andres García Gael Gomar Edwin Herrera Amara Izuakor Bailey Manley Adela Martínez Angel Martínez + Island Miles Carlos Mota Devin Neal Mariah Saban Rice Allan Salazar Kayane Simpson Malaika Sow Niarah Vinson-Kane VIOLAS Amare David Agboyi Emmalee Benton Violet Block Anthony Carrera Ian Chrisman Leah Díaz Alan Larsen Jimmy Mohl Isabella Monasterio Isaias Mora Soham Pradhan Jasmin Ramos Carlos Segura Geanelly Vallecillo Jancarlos Villatoro CELLOS Kayley Díaz Mario García Adrian González Kenneth González Hillary Hankins + Jeremias Jackson Giselle Mota Ashely Ortega Alexia Palencia Rafaela Palencia Isai Parra Isak Saucedo Xavier Smith Jason Sosa + Qing Yan Tang Jonathan Walker BASSES Samantha McDermott Maggie McDuff Shayla Mejía Madison Mitchell Juan Carlos Reverol Jason Samuels Alonso Sifuentes Adrian Suero FLUTES Michelle Argueta Ailyn Campos Kimberly Carbajal-Velásquez + Ariana Fajardo Ashley González + Iyana Henderson Emily Iniguez Aikaterini Leonti OBOES Shealtiel Mal’akiy Guadalupe Ramírez + Andrik Sánchez CLARINETS Vic Ducea Jada Israel Dalila Muñoz Fernando Quizhpi Deja Rubio Jenifer Sánchez Nathan Thomas ALTO SAXOPHONES Jordan Albarran Imani Johnson Janae Newberry Jean Rosa TENOR SAXOPHONE Luis Rosa BARITONE SAXOPHONES Carlos Astudillo Elijah McCullough BASSOONS Aaliyah Cain Viv Rolker HORNS Raina Chevarie-Munroe Nephi García Oriana Luc Chloe Perkins TRUMPETS José Daniel Carrero Luis Cruz Austin Garmon-Hatchett Aurian Schäring TROMBONES Jaden Chapman Eduardo de la Cruz James Hough Andres Marquez Daniel Muñoz EUPHONIUMS Crystal Rubio Andrew Salazar TUBAS Jacob Brady Jabari Woodson PERCUSSION Ky-Amor Adams Adrienne King Mia Montross Jorge Sena Lizeth Valdez PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS Accent Pontiac Austin Soundwaves Boston String Academy BSO OrchKids Chicago Arts and Music Project Chicago Metamorphosis Orchestra Project Dream Orchestra East River Children and Youth Orchestra El Sistema Austin El Sistema Colorado El Sistema Greece El Sistema Lehigh Valley El Sistema Oklahoma El Sistema Santa Cruz El Sistema Texas Empire State Youth Orchestra CHIME Program Harmony Program Harmony School of Music Intempo Juventud Sinfónica Tamaulipeca Kalamazoo Kids in Tune Kids 4 Harmony Kidznotes Miami Arts Studio 6–12 @ Zelda Glazer New Brunswick Youth Orchestra Paterson Music Project Play On Philly Project Music ROCmusic Sistema Ravinia Sistema Tulsa Sistema Utah Soundscapes Suburban Youth Symphony Orchestra Sunstate Orchestral Program The People’s Music School The Raleigh Music Collective Tocando – El Paso Symphony Orchestra Tuned In – The Peabody Institute United Children Music Project Upbeat NYC YOU – El Sistema Orlando YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) + Youth Leader All section musicians are listed alphabetically.
