On behalf of the Associates of Idyllwild Arts Foundation and the Idyllwild Arts students who will benefi t directly with scholarship funds from the 15th-annual Jazz in the Pines festival, I would like to welcome you. Th is event could not be possible without the support of more than 250 volunteers, dozens of community organizations and our sponsors who have all understood the value of the festival, since its inception the summer of 1994. Weekend festivities begin with the annual Patron’s Dinner Dance Friday, Aug. 22, with entertainment by Yve Evans, Bob Boss and Ali Haltam, along with Idyllwild Arts alumni Jason Jackson, Evan Christopher and the Graham Dechter Trio. Tickets for this incredible evening are $235 and include admission to both days of the festival, special patron’s seating and parking. Patrons will be pampered with incredible gourmet food, fi ne wine and many special surprises.

Th is year, we’ve brought a bit more refi nement to the overall festival with boxed lunches from Bristol Farms, wine tasting from Trinchero Family Estates and bottled water from Solé Water all near the Picnic in the Pines area. Make sure you purchase a Jazz in the Pines commemorative glass. Now in its second year, the popular Saturday night BBQ and jam session costs only $20 and is held in the Idyllwild Arts Nelson Dining Hall. Seating is very limited. Th e Associates and the Jazz Committee are pleased to present a weekend of many of the best jazz groups in the music industry today. On Saturday, Aug. 23, Lee Ritenour will headline and Sunday, Aug. 24, Dave Koz will take to the stage. Our illustrious musical director,

Welcome to the 15th Annual

Jazz in the Pinesone of the original creators of the festival, Marshall Hawkins has once again assembled a stellar line-up of straight-ahead jazz, bebop, blues, pop and even a little classical jazz for the tried and true fans. Relax with a glass of wine and a nosh, and take in the breathtak-ing scenery of the towering pines while enjoying live jazz in one of three outdoor venues, Holmes Amphitheatre, the French Quarter and Stephens Recital Hall. Check the schedule of acts in this program as you won’t want to miss a single performance. Schedule is subject to change. In between watching acts, stroll along the path to fi nd dozens of artists and artisans with a wide spectrum of hand-crafted merchandise to choose from. As an added attraction, take a few minutes to explore the free “Katrina Th rough the Eyes of Children” art exhibit in Meadow #7. Th is thought-provoking art is a traveling exhibit from the kids who had fi rst-hand accounts of what it was like to survive a hurricane. Your patronage is important to us and I hope we delivered on our promise. Tell your friends about Jazz in the Pines and keep the vision of education for talented young children alive. We’d like to extend a special thanks to all of our sponsors and to our local merchants, Café’ Aroma and Mountain Harvest Market, for their support of the festival. Each year the Jazz in the Pines Committee works diligently to bring you, our supporter, a memorable experience. I think you’ll agree that the 15th-annual festival is the best yet. Have a great time!

Idyllwild Jazz in the Pines 2008 - Page 5

Lee Ritenour is no stranger to Idyllwild. He per-formed at both the 1999 and 2004 Jazz in the Pines. And he has fi lled smaller venues, such as Two Babes in the Woods. A close friend and associate of local jazz keyboardist Barnaby Finch of Idyllwild, Ritenour is very popular on the Hill. Ritenour, also known as “Captain Fingers,” has more than 15 Grammy nominations. He has been play-ing guitar since he was 8. “I was always interested in the guitar, even a rubber band on a broomstick,” he said. “At 12, I told my father, ‘I think this is what I want to be.’” By then, he had gone through several guitar teach-ers. His father called Duke Miller, a well-known guitar-ist at USC, and said, “I have a talented son.” Talented and dedicated, he should have said. “As a teenager, sometimes I would practice eight to 10 hours a day. Now, it’s three to four hours, but not every day,” Ritenour lamented. “I don’t have enough time to practice much now.” Ritenour, whose style is labeled smooth jazz, studied classical guitar. “I wanted to learn as much as I could about the guitar. There were no barriers stylistically for me. “I can enjoy the guitar work in the Beatles’ music as well as Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery, Chet Atkins or Christopher Parkening, an American classical guitarist.

If it was good guitar, I could listen. “The classical technique is different from jazz. You can’t blend them. But I do try to use it,” he said. His latest CD, “Smoke N’ Mirrors,” is true to its intriguing and provocative title. It takes listeners on a magical, multi-faceted global journey unlike any other in the legendary guitarist’s three-decade, nearly 40-album career. Inspired by his very fi rst trip to South Africa in 2005, where he performed fi ve huge-ly successful concerts at fes-tivals in Johannesburg and Capetown, with “Smoke N’ Mirrors,” Ritenour takes an expansive, polyrhythmic approach, working with musicians from South Africa, Cameroon-West Africa, Brazil, Columbia, Peru and India. Also joining him on this recording is an exciting mix of old friends who happen to be some of America’s top jazz performers. Among them are pianists Dave Grusin and Patrice Rushen; drummer Vinnie Colaiuta;

and bassists John Patitiucci, Brian Bromberg, Abraham Laboriel and Richard Bona. Eight percussionists are on the record including Sheila E., Alex Acuna and Paulinho Da Costa;

and on tables is Satnam Ramgotra of India. Ever the innovator, Riten-our employs a total of 12 guitars, his most ever, to achieve what can

only be described as sonic perfection. These include the Gibson Lee Ritenour

model and a wide variety of baritone, steel and high-string guitars.

“Smoke N’ Mirrors” also marks the American recording debut of South

African singing sensation Zamajobe on three songs, as well as the composing and recording debut of Ritenour’s 13-year-old son Wesley, a highly talented drummer. Wes adds brushes

to Zamajobe’s original song, the exotic call and response anthem “Memeza,” and also composed

the graceful melody of the soulful and atmospher-ic “Stone Cool.”

Ritenour goes onstage at the Holmes Amphi-theatre at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at the 2008 Jazz in the Pines.

Dave Koz is a man of many hats: saxophonist, composer, platinum recording artist, radio show host, philanthropist and recording industry entrepreneur. Next year, he will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This summer, Koz is Sunday’s star headliner at the 2008 Jazz in the Pines Festival. As master of tenor, soprano and alto saxophones, Koz is regarded as one of the most expressive of con-temporary musicians. His smooth jazz style has earned Koz six Grammy nominations and the admiration of audiences worldwide. A native of Southern California’s San Fernando Valley, Koz majored in mass communications at UCLA but pursued his true passion of music immediately after graduation. He toured as a band member with smooth jazz vocalist Bobby Caldwell and with singer-songwriter Richard Marx. He also played sessions with jazz pianist Jeff Lorber and, since then, has performed with a long list of famed musicians that includes Ray Charles, Burt Bacharach, Rod Stewart, Celine Dion and Luther Van-dross. Koz went solo back in 1990, signing a record-ing contract with Capitol Records. With Capitol, he released his debut album “Dave Koz” and later “Lucky Man,” “The Dance” and “Saxophonic.” Four years later, Koz called upon his communications background to host a syndicated radio show, “Personal Notes,” which later became “The Dave Koz Radio Show.” Currently, “The Dave Koz Radio Show” is a two-hour weekend show that features Koz’s favorite soft jazz music and interviews with top jazz artists. The show can be heard on 120 radio stations throughout the nation.

In Los Angeles, Koz’s show is broadcast on 94.7 FM, The Wave. Koz also is the host of a nationally distributed afternoon show on the Smooth Jazz Network. Koz is co-founder of the independent recording company Rendezvous Entertain-ment, which represents a host of smooth jazz artists, but he spends most of his time on tour. His year-round schedule includes a summer tour, holiday tour and even a “Dave Koz Cruise” tour with Holland America Cruise Line. Koz the philantropist holds the title of Global Ambassador for the Starlight Children’s Foundation, an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of seriously ill children. He also served four years on the Grammy Foundation Artists Committee and is a National Trustee for the National Academy of Record-ing Arts and Sciences (NARAS). He also is a member of

Many Talents Form Dave Koz’s Diverse Careerthe Board of Governors for the Grammy® Founda-

tion. When the Hollywood Chamber of Com-merce announced its Walk of Fame nominees for 2009, Koz’s name was on the list. Soon, he will join the 2,000 celebrities and characters

whose names are embedded, in fi ve-point stars, in the sidewalks of Hollywood. When Jazz in the Pines 2008 is over, and Koz continues his illustrious global career, he will truly be part of Idyllwild’s history. And, if he’s like most of our moun-tain visitors, a piece of his heart will remain here.

Dave Koz’s much anticipat-ed “Greatest Hits” album is due out in September.

Fourbits is a creative expansion of the Southern California band Triorbits (tree-OR-bits) by adding trombonist Joey Sellers to the mix. The Triorbits are Paul Carman on saxophones, Chris Symer on acoustic bass and Kendall Kay on drums. The trio has a long history that started with playing a weekly gig in Laguna Beach for three years and recording the critically acclaimed CD “What Are They Doing in There.” This led to becoming the house band at the underground jazz series at the ARC from 1999 to 2002, and playing most, if not all, of the underground (and many above ground) jazz venues on the West Coast. All three played with Sellers in other Los Angeles jazz projects over the years. When it became time for a fresh approach to the band, adding Sellers (and his incredible compositions) to the group was a unanimous decision, and Fourbits was born. Carman (at right) has been playing jazz “his way” around Los Angeles for more than 35 years. He is a veteran of the Frank Zappa Band of the late 1980s. He toured with Zappa and recorded on the aforementioned CD plus “Make a Jazz Noise Here” and “Broadway the Hardway.” Carman has led many of his own original jazz groups over the years, including Mother Tongue, E.S.P., Triorbits, Flying V and Fourbits. He has released three critically acclaimed CDs under his name, and has recorded and composed music for fi lms. Carman also is passionate and committed to jazz

education, having taught at USC, UC Irvine, Cal State Fullerton, Saddleback College and numerous high schools around the country. He is the developer of the jazz teaching tool “CD Metronome,” used in virtually every jazz school in the world. He also mentors young students into the jazz world. Carman is a jazz instructor and saxophone teacher at Idyllwild Arts Academy in Idyllwild, where he resides with his family. Sellers has played and record-ed with such notables as Dave Liebman, Joe LaBarbara, Con-rad Herwig, Bobby Shew, Mike Formanek, Clay Jenkins, Toshiko Akiyoshi’s Jazz Orchestra and the Kenny Wheeler Large Ensemble. He also is an award-winning jazz and classical composer, receiving the Gil Evans Fellowship in Jazz Composition, the Sammy Nestico Award and, most recently, the Julius Hemphill Composition Award. He is the only artist in history to have received all three awards. Sellers was assistant professor of Jazz Studies at Northern Illinois University (2001-2004) and is director of Jazz Studies at Saddleback College (2004-2008). Symer, originally from Santa Barbara, spent several

Three Jazz Cats Plus One Equals Fourbitsyears on the L.A. scene playing with Robben Ford, John Rapson, Bennie Maupin, Kei Akagi and countless others. Since relocating to Seattle in 2002, Symer has developed a broad résumé by

adding fl y-fi shing and mountain biking to an already diverse list of interests. Although

a complete list of jazz luminaries he has played with would be woefully short, he seems to show up in some won-derful situations nonetheless. Kay was born in Durban, South Africa, where he performed with major African artists, including Steve Kekana, Mike Makelemele, Johnny Fourie, Alan Kwela and Izzio Gross. In 1983, Kay moved to Texas to

study at North Texas State University, graduating with a degree in jazz stud-

ies. Kay moved to Los Angeles in 1987 and has been playing and recording there ever since. He has toured and recorded with Kenny Burrel, Phil Upchurch, Bob Sheppard, Jeff Beale, Rickie Lee Jones, Allan Broadbent, Kyle Eastwood, Bobby She, and many others. He has virtually become “everybody’s favor-ite drummer” in the L.A. jazz scene. Kay is currently endorsing D.W. Drums, Remo Drum Heads, Vic Firth Sticks and Paiste Cymbals.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on Oct. 11, 1955, Peter Sprague was raised in Colorado until 1963, when his family moved to Del Mar. Inspired by his father’s love of jazz, he took up the guitar when he was 12. By age 15 he was devoting all his time and energy to learning music. He studied with San Diego jazz guitarist Bill Coleman, played in his high school stage band, and formed his first group, the Minor Jazz Quartet. Following a year’s study at the Interlochen Arts Academy, Sprague studied privately and performed around the San Diego area until 1976. That year found him moving to Boston to study with many notable musicians, including Pat Metheny, Madame Chaloff and Albin Czak (a classical guitarist). Sprague returned to San Diego in 1978 and formed a jazz group called The Dance Of The Universe Or-chestra that featured Kevyn Lettau, John Leftwich, and Sprague’s brother, Tripp Sprague, on saxophone. Sprague has recorded many of his own albums on Concord, Xanadu, and SBE record labels, and has been a guest artist on many other records. Chick Corea, Hubert Laws, David Benoit and Sergio Mendes are but a few of the many great artists Sprague has worked with. His debut with Corea’s band was a series of concerts at Disneyland on Memorial Day weekend. In a review the following day in the Los Angeles Times, Leonard Feather called Sprague “... one of the emergent great guitarists.” Sprague also worked with Corea on the film score to the movie “The Cat Chasers” starring Kelly McGillis. Sprague is active in the music book world, having self-published nine books: “The Sprague Technique,” “SpragueSongs,” “Soliloquy Songbook,” “Blurring the Edges Songbook,” “Brazil Jazz Songbook,” “Jazz Solos of Charlie Parker,” “Jazz Solos of Sonny Rollins,” “Jazz Solos of McCoy Tyner” and “Assorted Jazz Solos.” Sprague’s “The Jazz Solos of Chick Corea” is published nationally with Sher Music. Sprague also is the chief organizer and transcriber for Corea’s music books. Hal Leonard Publishing has released “Chick Corea’s Light Years,” “The Eye Of The Beholder,” “Inside Out,” “Chick Corea Collections,” “Beneath The Mask” and “Paint the World,” all books executed by Sprague. Sprague has been involved with GRP Records on a number of projects. He arranged Corea’s song, “Spain,” for the GRP All-Star Big Band record and video. This tune was played by the likes of Dave Grusin, Lee Riten-our, Dave Weckl, Ernie Watts, etc. He was featured on Benoit’s GRP releases “Let-ter To Evan” and “Shaken, Not Stirred.” Also on GRP, Sprague played with Eric Marienthal, Russell Ferrante,

Jimmy Haslip, Alex Acuna and Ivan Lins on Marienthal’s GRP record “One Touch.” Sprague toured with Benoit worldwide for three years, and taught music at both the Musicians Institute in Hollywood and the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles for three years. One of Sprague’s musical groups called Blurring the Edges released its CD and was awarded the Best Con-

temporary Jazz Recording of 1994 from the San Diego Music Awards. Sprague’s CD, “Nikki’s Rose,” was nominated for the Best Jazz CD in 2000 by the San Diego Music Awards (SDMA). SDMA voted Sprague Best Jazz Musician of the Year in 2000. The Drum released its debut CD in 2003 and SDMA nominated it for Best CD of the Year. The San Diego Reader voted Sprague’s band the Best Jazz Group for the 2002 Best of Issue. Sprague is also involved with producing other art-ists and has been part of more than 150 CD proj-ects. He runs a recording studio called SpragueLand and this is where you’ll find him wearing the hat of producer, engineer,

guitar player and arranger. He composed and performed a 20-minute guitar concerto in May 2000 with the Grossmont Symphony Orchestra and also with the San Diego Symphony in May 2002. Sprague has his own Web site at SpragueSprague.com. To find out about Sprague’s most current projects check the page on his Web site called The Sky.

A common thread runs through African mu-sic and Najite Agindotan weaves it brilliantly into his art. Born in Nigeria and raised in West African cul-tural traditions, Agindotan brings to the Idyllwild stage the very essence of Africa. “This is going to be something tremen-dous,” said festival co-founder and musician Marshall Hawkins. “African drums; storytell-ing in the song and the dance. You’re going to see the reflection of the culture through the song and the dance.” Agindotan is no stranger to the moun-tains. He has been assisting with master classes at Idyllwild Arts Academy since 1988 and is a frequent performer at Jazz in the Pines. “He’s been performing off and on for the past 15 years,” Hawkins said. “This group that he’s bringing is a group of African people. This is their own sound and their own message.” When he was just a child, Agindotan, the son of a Urhobo tribal chieftan, showed great promise as a drum-mer. With his father, Agindotan performed at Nigerian national festivals and took part in drumming, dancing and theater performances throughout West Africa. Agin-dotan studied with Nigerian music star Fela Kuti, whose “Afrobeat” music combined African dance moves with funk guitars and African beats. When Agindotan’s father died, Kuti adopted Agindotan as his godson in a ritual ceremony.

Weaving the Essence of African Music

Agindotan later moved to Los An-geles, where he lives today. In L.A., he’s worked with artists like Remi Kebaka and Hugh Masekela and earned grants and awards from the California Arts Council, the Nation-al Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National Endowment for the Arts. He was also awarded a Congressional Award for Cultural Excellence. Agindotan’s group performs Sunday, Aug. 24.

Renaissance Village was not a romantic outpost, as the name would imply. It was a trailer park on the outskirts of Baton Rouge, La., the largest of many com-munities set up by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to house evacuees from Hurricane Katrina. Renaissance Village was the temporary home of more than 600 families. “It was built on what used to be a cow pasture,” said Megan Perez, manager of the “Katrina Through the Eyes of Children” exhibit. “They took out all the green-ery and laid down a bunch of rock and put out trailers side by side. They [children] were traumatized from los-ing their homes and they were re-traumatized once they moved to Renaissance Village.” In the days after Hurricane Katrina, when survivors were still coming to grips with the life-altering disaster, Idyllwild Arts offered support. The school sponsored 11 Renaissance Village teens to attend the 2006 Summer Youth Arts program and teacher volunteers traveled to Renaissance Village to offer art therapy to the displaced children. Mental health professionals use art therapy, which has proven to be effective in treating trauma and its symptoms of anxiety and depression. The belief behind it is that the creative process of self-expression helps people achieve insight that can help solve problems. Art therapy allows the creator to express thoughts and feelings about their personal trauma in a safe environ-ment, which provides empowerment and structure, and facilitates closure. As one would expect, the art produced by the chil-dren displaced by Katrina was heartfelt and intense. The

artwork of the average child often features houses, trees, flowers and pets. The typical artwork of the Katrina kids includes helicopters and rescue boats, and is punctuated with dead birds, alligators and snakes. When constructing a cardboard town that included civic build-ings, a school and a church, a 6-year-old insisted there be a cemetery to bury lost relatives and pets. “When we showed them at the jazz festival in New Orleans, it’s the first time I have seen so many grown men cry,” said Sister Judith Brun, Community Initia-tives Foundation executive director. “This collection certainly is overwhelming in the loss and fear that we see in these children. Not only was it the loss and fear that they experienced immediately, but the loss and fear that they will be dealing with their whole lives.” The poignant art created during the art therapy sessions was first shown to the public in September 2007, when the “Katrina Through the Eyes of Children” exhibit opened at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The exhibit included drawings, photographs and three-di-mensional artwork as well as videotaped interviews with the kids. The exhibit shown at Jazz in the Pines will feature prints of the original artwork, which is being displayed

at the Global Health Odyssey at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Ga. “We want to guard these prints well,” said Brun. “We don’t usually let out the prints but Idyllwild Arts has been so wonderful to us.” Brun noted that the exhibit is not for everyone, especially children. “These are not for people to casually come and view. They are disturbing to see. We would not want children stumbling upon them.” Organizers hope that by sharing the artwork and stories of these children they can help promote art therapy as an effective tool for helping children dealing with trauma. They hope to create a trauma center for children and teens, where programs will be developed and health care professionals, teachers and artists can be trained to respond to disaster situations and trauma in children.

By Betty BaileyContributor The Seahawk Modern Jazz Orchestra is unlike any other. It’s made up of professionals, teachers and students from all parts of the globe who unite once a year at Jazz in the Pines. The “Hawk” in Seahawk is orchestra founder Marshall Hawkins, who also co-founded Jazz in the Pines. Hawkins fell in love with music at an early age. Born in Washington, D.C., in 1939, his childhood home was filled with the music of Bach, Verdi, Puccini, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole and gospel artists. “I knew when I was 5 years old that something was there,” said Hawkins. “I got goose pimples playing a toy piano. It’s called the zone. You know when that message comes through.” Hawkins sampled many instruments, playing the or-gan in church and singing in the choir. He also played the drums and, at age 12, won first place in a talent show for playing the piano. It wasn’t until age 24 that he found what would be his ideal instrument, the bass. In the late 1960s, Hawkins traveled throughout the country as part of the Miles Davis Quintet. In 1971,

he formed the Marshall Hawkins Quintet and played near D.C. for nearly a decade. In the late 1970s, Hawkins moved to Califor-nia, where he played with the late jazz vocalist Eddie Jefferson and jazz saxophon-ist Richie Cole. In 1986, Hawkins helped launch the jazz program at Idyllwild Arts and continues to serve as head of the department. Five years ago, Hawkins started the Seahawk Modern Jazz Orchestra. Each year, the orchestra honors a musi-cian for his or her contributions to the art. This year, the orchestra will play in honor of Sam Karam, from the class of 1989, who was Idyllwild Arts Academy’s first five-year student and the first academy student to graduate from Juilliard School of Music in New York. “It [the concert] is unique because the kids get a chance to perform with the pros and some of the alumni that are professionals,” Hawkins said. Hawkins said a re-cord number of alumni are returning to the campus to play in this year’s festival. They total at least 18.

“Benjamin Maas at-tended and graduated from Idyllwild Arts Academy and

is now an incredible recording engineer,” said Hawkins. “He’ll be in the orchestra with Evan Christopher, the department’s first graduate from the class of 1987. Evan Christopher [clarinetist] is about to finish his master’s at Tulane, where he is a professor of jazz studies. And Jason Jackson, from the class of 1989, who is one of the top trombone players in New York.” The music the orchestra plays is as varied as its mem-bers. “We play jazz standards and original music,” Hawkins said. “We do stuff that’s Latin and stuff that’s African-based. We do stuff that’s Duke Ellington, John Coltrane. We don’t just specialize in one idiom of jazz.” Even with the variety, he said jazz is the common thread. “Jazz is an American art form,” said Hawkins, “a true American art form.” For more information, contact Marshall Hawkins through the Seahawk Web site at www.seahawkmusic.com.

Who Are the Associates? The Associates are a dedicated group of individuals, families and businesses who support the educational programs of Idyllwild Arts. More than 300 members, both in Idyllwild and off the Hill, share a belief in the vital role of the arts in our society.

Mission Statement The Associates of Idyllwild Arts Foundation is a group of more than 200 dedicated volunteers who or-ganize fund-raising events each year to raise monies for scholarships for Idyllwild Arts students. The Associates’ fund-raisers include concerts, auctions and the popular two-day Jazz in the Pines, now in its 15th year. Jazz in the Pines is staffed by Associates as well as many volun-teers from the Idyllwild and surrounding communities, and brings in audiences from throughout Southern California and beyond. All proceeds from each of the Associates’ events go directly to scholarships.

What Do the Associates Do? • Raise funds for Summer Program and Arts Academy scholarships through annual membership contributions and fund-raising events. • Maintain a special endowment fund for future scholarships.

• Provide volunteer service to the school. • Sponsor cultural activities for members and the community at large.

How Does Jazz in the Pines Fit in? All Jazz in the Pines profits are used directly for Idyllwild Arts scholarships, both for the regular school year and the Summer Program, providing an opportunity to learn or polish skills in a variety of arts disciplines, including jazz! Scholarships are based on financial need, talent, and a program’s need to strengthen a particular area. Funds also are dedicated to children of single-parent families and to encourage increased multicultural diversity in the summer.

Why You Should Join Us Reasons for joining the Associates are as varied as the individual members. Some join just to support the scholarship program. Perhaps equally important is working with others who care about music, theater, dance and other arts. Some members love jazz and want to get involved with our prestigious festival. If you are new to our community, joining the Associates may be your way to meet people and get acquainted. Whatever reason, you’ll be joining a group of people committed to giving talented young artists financial help.

Festival’s Success Depends on Associates

Idyllwild Arts Foundation Mission Statement The mission of the Idyllwild Arts Foundation is to promote and advance artistic and cultural development through education in a beautiful, natural environment conducive to positive personal growth. The Idyllwild Arts Academy provides pre-profes-sional training in the arts and a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum to a diverse student body of gifted young artists from all over the world. The Idyllwild Arts Summer Program provides arts instruction and experiences of the highest caliber to a diverse student population of all ages and abilities.

History Idyllwild Arts (formerly Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts or ISOMATA) was founded by Dr. Max Krone and his wife, Beatrice. Visionaries with a dream of a remote place where people of all backgrounds could come together to experience the arts, they established the Idyllwild Arts Foundation in 1946 and purchased acreage in the scenic San Jacinto Mountains on which to build. In 1950, about 100 adult students began attend-ing summer classes in the arts. Over the years, summer activities have continued to grow, expanding to include programs for children of all ages, a special Family Camp, and the Distinguished Artist Residency series. Classes in music, dance, theatre, visual arts, writing and Native American arts are offered to students from ages 5 to 85. Each year more than 1,800 adults and children attend Idyllwild Arts Summer Program courses. In 1964, the school was given to the University of Southern California under the terms of an agree-

ment with the Idyllwild Arts Foundation. In 1983, the Foundation exercised its option to resume independent management and resumed sole ownership of the school. In 1985, Dr. and Mrs. Richard H. MacNeal became major benefactors of the school and provided the funds to realize a long-time dream: the establishment of the first independent boarding high school for the arts in the western United States, the Idyllwild Arts Academy.

The Academy opened in the fall of 1986 with a student body of 70 students, grades 8–12. In that first year, students attended a nearby school each morning for col-lege-preparatory academic classes and returned to the Idyllwild Arts Academy campus to receive pre-professional training in the arts each afternoon. By 1990, academic classes were held on the IAA campus. In a remarkably short time, the school began attracting some of the most talented young artists from around the world. Today, the Academy is a fully-accredited col-lege preparatory school in its own right and prepares artists for the finest conservatories and professional companies,

liberal arts colleges and universities. The Academy hosts 268 students from across the United States and around the world. Headmaster William Lowman, deans and faculty scour the U.S. and the globe to bring the most talented students from Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, Africa and North America back to California. The Academy boasts a student-teacher ratio of 8:1, with almost 50% of students receiving some form of financial aid (an annual total of more than $2.5 million). Dur-ing the Summer Program, the Academy has more than 1,800 students representing 45 countries.

By Jeff HockerExecutive ProducerJazz in the Pines

If you ask the people who surround Anne Finch about her personality, quite a few adjectives are mentioned again and again. Sparkling, intelligent, witty, fun, exciting, talented, multi-faceted and most of all, how does she get it all done? A devoted Associate working tirelessly on the annual Jazz in the Pines festival, her mark has been left on virtually every aspect of the event. Anne has always taken her role seriously while keeping a seemingly perpetual smile. Her business and accounting background has given her the savvy to know where to cut expenses and find revenue opportunities. This is no easy task for an event that has over 5,000 annual attendees, 300 volunteers, 35 committee members and over 100 vendors, sponsors and supporters. Finch began her jazz fest philanthropy by parking cars and has worked in many of the different jobs necessary to produce what is now known as one of the top jazz festivals with a reputation of one that transcends all cultures. “Her extensive investment of time has yielded significantly more revenues for the Associates and its scholarship mission to continually increase the level of donation given to Idyllwild Arts Academy and Summer Program,” said Suzi Capparelli, close friend, Associate and Jazz in the Pines French Quarter organizer.

Anne Finch-Volunteer of the Year: Musician, Outspoken Leader and a Darn Good Friend

Anne and her incredibly talented musician husband Barnaby, were chosen co-Associates of the Year in 2006 for their dedication and hard work with the Associates of Idyllwild Arts Foundation. Anne often says that if it weren’t for her two little beautiful papillons and two horses, she would travel constantly. Some of her favorite travel destinations

include San Diego, New York or their recent month-long trek to explore the Atlantic Ridge from South Georgia Island to the Canaries. If there’s adventure or a good time out there, sign her up! A passionate musician in her own right, Anne’s latest love is the violin, which will never take the place of her other favorite instruments, the bass and banjo. A lover of many genres of music, but particularly fond of jazz, Anne is an avid supporter of her legendary composer and musician husband Barnaby, traveling often with him to see his gigs. Barnaby Finch, by the way, has toured with Lee Ritenour. “Each year, Anne and Barnaby produce a fund-raising concert to continue to help the Associates in their mission of raising scholarship money for the incredibly talented students attending Idyllwild Arts. Their ongoing efforts allow the entire community to come together for a common vision and goal while at the same time giving friends a chance to laugh, dance and support a worthy cause,” said Jan Goldberg, President of the Associates of Idyllwild Arts Foundation. Anne Finch is one of those people

who instantly becomes a lifelong friend and confidant. As the former Executive Director of the festival, Anne has built a framework that will allow us to continue to build on her legacy in our ultimate goal of providing scholarship funding to Idyllwild Arts.
