ORCHESTRAL MUSIC FROM FOUR CENTURIES
The semester’s rehearsals and concerts will focus on orchestral music written over the past four centuries. The spring semester will be highlighted by an Educational Residency with the New York Philharmonic in March. In addition, there will be Orchestral Master Classes with C.W. Post Music Faculty and a residency with the Shanghai Quartet. Repertoire will focus on the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), Bela Bartok (1891-1945), Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924), Thomas Oboe Lee (b. 1945) and C.W. Post faculty composer Carl Strommen (b. 1940).
Dr. Susan E. Deaver has been the Music Director and Conductor of the C. W. Post Orchestra since 1981. Through her efforts the C.W. Post Orchestra has been expanded from a chamber ensemble of 15 to over 75 undergraduate and graduate students. For the past ten years she has assisted Tilles Center in coordinating a residency with the New York Philharmonic which involves both the C.W. Post Orchestra and selected youth orchestras in a series of sectionals, panel discussions and open rehearsals with members of the Philharmonic. Dr. Deaver is well known on Long Island as a frequent clinician and guest conductor, and is experienced in working with undergraduate and graduate college musicians focusing on performance and music education. She was selected to participate in Tanglewood's Conducting Seminar Classes with Gustav Meier, the conducting seminars of the American Symphony Orchestral League, the Conductor's Guild and at Manhattan School of Music with Kurt Masur, Julius Rudel and Sixten Ehrling. As an orchestral fellowship student at Tanglewood in 1972, she worked with both Leonard Bernstein and Seiji Ozawa. She recently guest conducted for SCMEA’s 2004 All-County Division II Orchestra and guest conducted in Korea in May 2004. Dr. Deaver is currently on the music faculty at C.W.
