welcome!

It is my honor to serve

as President of the

SLO Symphony Board

of Directors for the

2020-21 season.

We started this year with exciting plans for

change and growth with the hiring of our

new Executive Director, Anna James Miller.

But, like everyone, we were soon faced

with the constraints of COVID-19.

Though these are difficult times, we are

determined to stay focused on one of the

core principles of the SLO Symphony, to

“contribute to the cultural vitality of the

Central Coast community”!

Things may look different, and we may not

be able to be together physically, but

current challenges have brought out the

best in our staff, musicians and

volunteers. Now, more than ever, we are

committed to continue the legacy of

providing great music and culture for

everyone.

The SLO Symphony has been an integral

part of this community for 60 years. The

work of the Symphony has always been a

collective effort, and this year is no

exception.

I want to thank our conductor Andrew

Sewell, members of the orchestra, staff,

committee volunteers and my fellow

board members, especially Mark Sherman,

our past board President.

I would also like to thank our

supporters. We could not carry out our

mission if it were not for the ongoing

generosity of our donors, sponsors and

underwriters.

I thank you for your ongoing trust and

support as we navigate this season

together and experience the music of the

San Luis Obispo Symphony in new ways.

Best wishes and continued health and well

being,

Jill LeMieux

President

SLO Symphony Board of Directors

Violin Gilles Apap

gilles apap Described by Yehudi Menuhin as ’’A true violinist of

the 21st century’’, Gilles is known for his virtuosity,

unique approach to music and the skill to bring joy

to every concert hall. He delivers distinctive

performances of the standard classical repertoire

combined with genres such as jazz and folk from

around the world and the result is unique

programming merging the borderlines between

musical styles.

Born in Algeria to a French family, Gilles started

playing music at an early age and began his studies

in France. Later, he moved to America and

continued his studies at the Curtis Institute,

choosing to settle in California. Very early in his

career he decided to move away from the

constraints of the international music industry,

looking for his own way beyond the conventions

and expectations related to a commercial career.

As a soloist Gilles has performed with orchestras

such as Leipzig Gewandhaus, San Francisco and

Vancouver Symphony, Hamburg Philharmonic,

Boston Philharmonic, Berliner Symphoniker,

Russian National Philharmonic, Israel

Philharmonic, often play directing as well as

performing an extensive list of violin concertos.

With his quartet ‘The Colors of Invention’ (violin,

accordion, double bass and cimbalom), Gilles

presents chamber music with fusion of classical

pieces from Vivaldi, Ravel and Bartok with

traditional folk tunes. The Ethno Jazz band

‘Meduoteran’ (violin, accordion and saz) is one of

the most recent projects in which Gilles is

involved, performing in various Jazz and folk

festivals around Europe. ‘The Transylvanian

Mountain Boys’ is another highly successful

crossover band formed by Gilles, together they

perform across the globe and have released 3

CDs for Sony Classical. Gilles was taking the

artistic leadership position at the Nordic Chamber

Orchestra until the 2017/2018 season.

Gilles has also collaborated with the Celtic fiddler

Kevin Burke, Indian violinist Dr. L. Subramanian,

gypsy violinist Roby Lakatos, jazz violinist Didier

Lockwood and contemporary flamenco dancer

Belen Maya, amongst others.

Alongside performance, Gilles is very involved in

education with his teaching philosophy

connecting strongly with cultural diversity and the

freedom of interpretation through improvisation

which in August Ariana Todes, former editor of

The Strad, reflected in an interview highlighting

these eclectic aspects of his career.

After participating in the International Menuhin

Competition in 1985, Gilles established a lifelong

relationship with Yehudi Menuhin. Together they

worked on Gilles’ legendary cadenza of Mozart’s

Third Violin Concerto, which was filmed and

directed by Bruno Monsaingeon. Known for his

documentaries about Gould, Richter and Oistrakh,

Monsaingeon directed two further films about

Gilles Apap and his approach to music, and

declared that the violinist’s “art represents music

in its greatest possible purity.”

executive director

Anna James Miller is

a former professional ballet

dancer and dance teacher

with over a decade of

performing arts leadership

experience.

The child of four-time

Grammy Award-winning

cellist and composer Eugene Friesen, music has

played a major role in their life since childhood.

Originally from the East Coast, Anna moved to the

Seattle area in 2000 and worked for organizations

including Seattle Opera, Northwest Chamber

Orchestra, Spectrum Dance Theatre, Icicle Arts,

Icicle Creek Theatre Festival, Federal Way

Symphony, Auburn Symphony, and Bremerton

Symphony. Most recently, Anna worked in a

communications role with Kitsap Community

Foundation, organizing a regional day of giving

which raised $2.2M for 337 local nonprofits, and

assisting with the launch of a COVID-19

community relief fund and resource directory.

With a deep passion for education as well as the

arts, Anna taught funding and grant writing for

nonprofits at Olympic College’s Business and

Technology Division and served as a teaching

assistant for graduate and PhD courses in

Gonzaga University’s School of Leadership Studies.

They hold a Bachelor of Arts in arts administration

from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, a

Master of Arts in organizational leadership from

Gonzaga University, and professional certificates in

advanced fundraising and grant and proposal

writing.

In 2020, Anna co-founded the Central Coast

Coalition of Arts Leaders to strengthen the local

arts community in response to the COVID-19

crisis.

Anna and their visual artist spouse Bryan, along

with their young daughter Cassidy, are excited to

be in San Luis Obispo. They are thrilled to partner

with Maestro Andrew Sewell and take the SLO

Symphony to new heights, and bring their arts

advocacy to aid SLO County’s cultural recovery

during this economically uncertain time.

Maestro Andrew Sewell

enters his fourth season as

music director of the San

Luis Obispo Symphony and

twenty-first season with the

Wisconsin Chamber

Orchestra, having had long

tenures with the Wichita,

Toledo and Mansfield, Ohio

Symphonies.

Known for his innovative programming and knack

for discovering new talent, Sewell is a highly skilled

orchestra builder with a wide knowledge and range

of repertoire.

In demand as a guest conductor, he has led the

music training on the violin, piano and cornet, and

began conducting at age 16. Six years later, he made

his professional opera debut with the Mercury Opera

abroad. Sewell holds a Master of Music degree with

Honors in Conducting from the University of

Michigan. While not conducting, he enjoys cycling

and other outdoor pursuits and visiting family in

New Zealand. He and his wife, Mary have three
