<strong>Third</strong> Street’s <strong>Philharmonia</strong><br />
<strong>Hosts</strong> <strong>Swiss</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong><br />
“il mosaico”<br />
<strong>Third</strong> Street families, faculty, staff and friends<br />
opened their arms, and their apartments, to host<br />
a leading <strong>Swiss</strong> youth orchestra for 11 days last<br />
May. The 60 members of “il mosaico,” making<br />
their first-ever trip to the U.S., were greeted with great<br />
anticipation by the 30 members of our <strong>Philharmonia</strong><br />
orchestra. The <strong>Third</strong> Street students had been preparing<br />
since the fall to perform two concerts with their <strong>Swiss</strong><br />
counterparts: one at Washington Irving High School<br />
and one in White Plains, each with a professional<br />
guest soloist. Another concert by “il mosaico” would<br />
feature a <strong>Third</strong> Street student soloist.<br />
“That first rehearsal at Washington Irving was<br />
remarkable,” said Min Sun Kim, Chair of <strong>Third</strong> Street’s<br />
Strings Department. “It was as if they had been playing<br />
together for years.” Maestro Hermann Ostendarp, Music<br />
Director of “il mosaico,” conducted the combined<br />
orchestras. The repertoire—selections from Bizet’s Carmen<br />
Suites, Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto No. 3 in B Minor<br />
and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor,<br />
Op. 37—was challenging.<br />
“I was a bit nervous to meet so many talented musicians,”<br />
confessed one <strong>Philharmonia</strong> member. Another<br />
observed that the level of teamwork needed could<br />
seem “daunting.” But three inspiring concerts and one<br />
fantastic farewell party later, all proclaimed the international<br />
youth exchange a resounding success.<br />
“I had high expectations, but the exchange was even<br />
greater than I expected,” said violin student Camellia<br />

A NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR<br />
Welcome to the 114th school<br />
year! This year began with a<br />
special sense of renewal and<br />
excitement. At our fall faculty and<br />
staff meeting, I spoke about <strong>Third</strong><br />
Street’s dual commitment to access and excellence.<br />
Our faculty firmly believes in excellence, and in<br />
challenging all students, regardless of their career aims,<br />
to reach their full artistic potential. And, our board<br />
members and contributors help to ensure that every<br />
child, regardless of financial circumstances, has access<br />
to high quality music, dance and art instruction. These<br />
dual goals are an important part of what makes <strong>Third</strong><br />
Street so special.<br />
Here are some updates and highlights since our<br />
last issue of the <strong>Third</strong> Street Beat:<br />
Summer is usually a time for making building repairs<br />
and sprucing things up a bit. This summer, the efforts<br />
were far more extensive. From May until August, our<br />
building was shrouded in mesh and scaffolding as<br />
engineers probed for any possible water damage<br />
underneath the bricks. Fortunately, very little repair<br />
work was required. An upside of the probe was a<br />
much-needed washing. Now, we’re sparkling inside<br />
and out!<br />
At our Stowe C. Phelps Annual Student Concert in<br />
May, nearly every area of the School—music, dance<br />
and the visual arts—had a moment in the spotlight.<br />
We congratulate the students who worked so hard<br />
throughout the year and made <strong>Third</strong> Street shine.<br />
Next May, we will record and issue the concert on CD.<br />
If you’ve never attended a faculty recital, you’re<br />
really missing something special. <strong>Third</strong> Street’s faculty<br />
members are some of New York City’s top performing<br />
artists. This year, we chose a new recital series name—<br />
Artist Performance Series—to better communicate<br />
our faculty’s exceptional talent to the public.<br />
I believe a not-for-profit organization can only be<br />
as strong and effective as its board. We are delighted<br />
to welcome two new board members since the last<br />
edition of this newsletter: Jeannie Park and Roni<br />
Kohen-Lemle. You can read more about them on<br />
page 3.<br />
There’s a lot to look forward to this year and I am<br />
thrilled that you are a part of the <strong>Third</strong> Street family.<br />
Withall best wishes,<br />

ADULT NEW HORIZONS BAND MEMBERS shared a rehearsal with middle school beginners from Technology, Arts,<br />
and Sciences Studio, one of our partner public schools, at <strong>Third</strong> Street in March 2008. Jimmy Valentino (second<br />
from right, front) had a great time with his fellow clarinet students. “Music is a great equalizer,” he said. “They can<br />
help me just as much as I can help them. It’s not about ‘Am I young, am I old, am I black, am I white,’ whatever.<br />
We are all looking for a “C” and we need to find that note at about the same time. When we do, that’s a high five.”<br />
<strong>Third</strong> Street Welcomes Two New Board Members<br />
As a <strong>Third</strong> Street mom,<br />
Jeannie Park really<br />
knows <strong>Third</strong> Street!<br />
Her children study<br />
piano, violin and<br />
saxophone, and play in<br />
ensembles. She herself<br />
studied music at the<br />
Wasson Piano Studio<br />
in Ohio. A Harvard<br />
graduate with a degree in biochemistry, Jeannie<br />
spent 22 years at Time Inc. as a journalist,<br />
where she championed diversity within the<br />
company and in the news media at large. In<br />
2007, she left her job as executive editor of<br />
People to devote more time to family and<br />
volunteering. Jeannie is the founding president<br />
of the Asian American Journalists Association’s<br />
New York chapter, a board member of Little<br />
Red/Elizabeth Irwin (LREI), and an advisory<br />
board member of the Women’s Media Center.<br />
She lives in Greenwich Village with children<br />
Ella and Ryan and husband David Chan, a<br />
fellow music lover and graduate of Juilliard<br />
Pre-College. Jeannie loves <strong>Third</strong> Street for “its<br />
inspiring and caring faculty, its commitment<br />
to musical access for all and its true embrace<br />
of all kind of kids and talents.” Plus, she says,<br />
“the performances are so amazing that I have<br />
no need to attend concerts anywhere else!”<br />
Roni Kohen-Lemle’s love<br />
of all things musical<br />
began as a student at<br />
<strong>Third</strong> Street in Miss<br />
Gertrude Barlow’s<br />
Orff/Kodály class when<br />
the School was actually<br />
located on 3rd Street.<br />
After graduating from<br />
Oberlin College, where<br />
she met husband Robert Lemle, she earned a<br />
law degree from Benjamin Cardozo Law<br />
School. She co-founded the Long Island<br />
Children’s Museum and recently designed its<br />
music gallery. Through classes in New York<br />
University’s graduate program in music therapy,<br />
Roni developed her respect for music as a<br />
powerful healing tool. An avid jazz vocalist,<br />
she never misses a chance to sing. She enjoys<br />
scatting with toddlers and parents in her<br />
music and movement classes, and she has<br />
also recorded a CD of poetry set to music,<br />
Recuerdo. “Joining the <strong>Third</strong> Street Board<br />
at this point in my life is a truly special<br />
opportunity,” she says. “It’s a chance to return<br />
to a magical place and help it grow. In a<br />
world that has become chaotic and often<br />
precarious, we need music more than ever.<br />
And it’s right here.”<br />

A Night to Remember<br />
It wasn’t summer yet, but summer<br />
was in the air. Our<br />
graduating high<br />
school seniors took<br />
their minds away from<br />
caps and gowns and plans for the future<br />
to share one last evening as <strong>Third</strong> Street<br />
students with their teachers, families<br />
and friends. The Anna-Maria Kellen<br />
Auditorium was buzzing with<br />
excitement. Video cameras were<br />
being adjusted on tripods. Young<br />
siblings were settling into their<br />
seats on the bleachers beside<br />
parents and grandparents. Senior<br />
students dressed in recital-wear<br />
were milling about with<br />
nervousness, sharing happy<br />
glances with family and friends, or wearing a pensive,<br />
far-away look while inwardly running through their music<br />
or dance steps.<br />
It was June 10, 2008: Senior Night at <strong>Third</strong> Street. But it<br />
was unlike any other from the past. More family and friends<br />
were present than ever before. Some seniors asked to be<br />
added to the program at the last minute, realizing that<br />
something special was about to happen. And as anticipated,<br />
the program of music and dance was wonderful and varied,<br />
with music ranging from voice to violin, guitar, drums and<br />
beyond, and dance including tap and ballet. But it was<br />
what took place in between each performance that touched<br />
everyone’s hearts.<br />
IF YOU ARE GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEAR<br />
please sign up for Senior Night 2009 by contacting<br />
Daniel Blakemore (212-777-3240, ext. 126 or dblakemore@<br />
thirdstreetmusicschool.org). The <strong>Third</strong> Street Senior Book,<br />
a new publication launched last year, will include one page on<br />
each student, including a photograph with his/her <strong>Third</strong> Street<br />
teacher(s), a brief profile, a note about the student’s future<br />
plans and a quote to be remembered by.<br />
Talented tap student Julian Carey,<br />
Class of 2008, with his teacher Yvonne Curry<br />
(“Miss Yvonne”) and <strong>Third</strong> Street tap<br />
friends Eva Coruzzi Schneider (left)<br />
and Rita Tuitt (right)<br />
“My <strong>Third</strong> Street experience<br />
was the best experience of my life.<br />
I was able to learn new things<br />
and express myself to everyone.<br />
<strong>Third</strong> Street showed me that there<br />
are many opportunities available<br />
no matter what kind of talent<br />
you have.”—Julian Carey<br />
As the audience looked on, each senior<br />
received a <strong>Third</strong> Street certificate, signed and<br />
presented by Executive Director Lee Koonce and<br />
Associate Director Mary Lou Francis. And then, joined<br />
onstage by their teacher(s) and family members, they posed<br />
for a photograph—a souvenir filled with a lifetime of memories<br />
at <strong>Third</strong> Street.<br />
Although <strong>Third</strong> Street is 114 years old, a new tradition<br />
began that night. The joy was palpable and—at least among<br />
the grown-ups—there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was a<br />
night to remember. Forever.<br />

JAZZ<br />
Jazz at <strong>Third</strong> Street<br />
BY MICHAEL LYDON<br />
Afew years ago, “jazz at <strong>Third</strong> Street” was a handful<br />
of wind and brass students who came intermittently<br />
to a Thursday Jazz Wind Workshop and who played<br />
jazz songs and tried a little improvising at once-ina-blue-moon<br />
Blue Winds concerts. From these seeds, a<br />
flourishing jazz program has grown.<br />
Last year 13 students enrolled in the School’s two<br />
weekly jazz ensembles, and at the now twice-yearly<br />
Blue Winds concerts. We had student pianists, guitarists,<br />
bassists and drummers backing up flutists, trumpeters,<br />
saxophonists and clarinetists, and even a violinist or two.<br />
“<strong>Third</strong> Street jazz is jumping,” says Micah Killion, a<br />
trumpet teacher who coordinates the woodwind, brass<br />
and percussion departments. “<strong>Third</strong> Street students can<br />
get the full spectrum of the jazz experience” from lessons<br />
to ensemble playing to performance coaching and<br />
training to playing gigs. As a result, <strong>Third</strong> Street student<br />
jazz trios have played background music at several<br />
School functions this past year.<br />
The Tuesday evening and Saturday afternoon ensembles<br />
are the heart of <strong>Third</strong> Street jazz, led, respectively, by<br />
pianist Neal Kirkwood and guitarist Scott Anderson.<br />
Both teachers work with the students on song forms,<br />
sight-reading, ear training, rhythm and improvisation,<br />
but they also keep their sessions informal so the students<br />
feel the fun and freedom of jazz. In just two years, the<br />
ensembles have evolved distinct styles: the Tuesday group<br />
has a big band sound; and the Saturday group has a cool<br />
jazz style—members wear all black in performance.<br />
The Thursday Jazz Wind Workshop is continuing this<br />
year, led by Killion and saxophonist Loren Stillman, now<br />
retooled as “farm team,” in Killion’s words, preparing<br />
younger players to join our jazz ensembles.<br />
Jazz at <strong>Third</strong> Street is growing. We have 9 students<br />
returning and 6 students just getting started. For more<br />
information, contact the Registration Office, 212-777-<br />
3240, ext. 130.<br />

Help Us Find the Missing Score<br />
Viola students had a special treat last<br />
March: a master class led by <strong>Third</strong><br />
Street’s own alumnus, Masumi Per<br />
Rostad. A Juilliard graduate and a<br />
member of the acclaimed Pacifica Quartet,<br />
Masumi has been heralded as headed for<br />
“the big career” by New York Magazine. It<br />
all started at <strong>Third</strong> Street, where he was a<br />
student from age 3 through high school<br />
graduation. “<strong>Third</strong> Street Music School<br />
Settlement was like a second home for<br />
me,” he writes on the quartet’s Web site.<br />
“[It] was like a family. My brother [cellist<br />
Egil Rostad] and I would go there every<br />
Saturday and spend the entire day, and<br />
then we’d go once a week<br />
for lessons.”<br />
Masumi Per Rostad is the<br />
recipient of <strong>Third</strong> Street’s<br />
Rising Star Award at this<br />
year’s Anniversary<br />
Luncheon.<br />
Some twenty years ago, Avra Petrides, daughter of pioneering woman conductor<br />
Frédérique Petrides, contributed several boxes of books and music to <strong>Third</strong> Street. By mistake, she included<br />
David Diamond’s Concerto for Chamber <strong>Orchestra</strong>, a precious manuscript that had been part of her mother’s<br />
library and that she had intended to donate to a museum. If you have this missing score or know of its<br />
whereabouts, please call 212-777-3240, ext. 126. We would like to return it to its rightful owner. Thank you.<br />

Music & Movement<br />
BY NANCY MORGAN<br />
In early childhood classrooms across Manhattan’s Lower<br />
East Side, children are singing, dancing and playing<br />
percussion and recorder through <strong>Third</strong> Street’s Music<br />
& Movement classes, a component of our School<br />
Partnership Program. The program’s coordinator and<br />
master teacher is Monika Linkweiler. Monika teaches 26<br />
classes per week and trains <strong>Third</strong> Street’s early childhood<br />
music instructors in a method drawn from the teachings<br />
of Carl Orff. (Back in the late 1950s, <strong>Third</strong> Street was the<br />
first music school in the U.S. to employ Kodály and Orff<br />
musical education methods.) Orff used songs, games, poems<br />
and dances as the basic materials of music education, teaching<br />
Monika Linkweiler leads Music & Movement students at the Earth School,<br />
one of <strong>Third</strong> Street’s partner public schools.<br />
children to accompany themselves on instruments like metal<br />
glockenspiels and wooden xylophones. He believed that<br />
music, like language, should be taught by hearing and making<br />
it first, then by reading and writing it later.<br />
Monika, dressed in a colorful t-shirt and jeans, says that<br />
she first came to <strong>Third</strong> Street in 1976 to meet her husband<br />
after his opera rehearsals in the auditorium. “I was a flight<br />
attendant back then and used to wear a raccoon fur coat<br />
and smoke cigarettes in the lobby.” Monika stopped flying<br />
when her son, Johann, was born. (She had long since quit<br />
smoking and wearing fur!) Since she had loved singing in<br />
opera choruses near her home town of Vlaubeuren, Germany,<br />
she was determined that Johann should study music. She<br />
enrolled him at the age of three in an early childhood class<br />
at the Bloomingdale House of Music and happened to pick<br />
up a flyer there advertising an Orff teacher training class.<br />
Taking that class changed her life. In September of 1985,<br />
Monika was hired to teach three Music & Movement classes<br />
at <strong>Third</strong> Street. She has been here ever since.<br />
Watching Monika and her colleagues teach is a joy.<br />
Their students, many of whom struggle to meet the academic<br />
demands of their schools, relish their 45 minutes of music<br />
making. Every year, Monika receives hundreds of handmade<br />
cards from appreciative students. One of her favorites said<br />
“Monika, you are the beast!”<br />
The most rewarding aspect of Monika’s work is seeing<br />
Music & Movement become the catalyst that prompts<br />
children to join <strong>Third</strong> Street’s free after-school program for<br />
public school students. Veronica Parrales, for example, started<br />
out in Music & Movement, graduated from <strong>Third</strong> Street’s<br />
after-school program, earned a Master’s degree at Hunter<br />
College and now teaches cello, violin and piano in <strong>Third</strong><br />
Street’s partner schools. The cycle continues.<br />
Nancy Morgan is <strong>Third</strong> Street’s Director of School and Community<br />
Partnerships.<br />
<strong>Philharmonia</strong> and “il mosaico” continued from cover<br />
Hartman. “I was surprised at how well our groups interacted,” said Mei-Ling<br />
Roberts. “It turned out that they’re just like us,” said Dahlia Amade, “except they<br />
live a couple thousand miles away in a place that is very famous for chocolate!”<br />
<strong>Third</strong> Street’s Sinfonia orchestra, conducted by Steven Rochen, opened the<br />
concert at Washington Irving High School. Guest violinist Nurit Pacht also<br />
performed at that venue. At the Community Unitarian Church in White Plains,<br />
guest pianist Adam Kent gave a masterful performance. <strong>Third</strong> Street student soloist<br />
Leo Singer played a movement from Shostakovich’s demanding Cello Concerto<br />
No. 1, Op. 107 both there and at St. Mark’s Church-in-the-Bowery.<br />
A tour highlight was hearing violinist Sarah Chang and the Orpheus Chamber<br />
<strong>Orchestra</strong> perform at Carnegie Hall. For the <strong>Swiss</strong> and for several <strong>Philharmonia</strong><br />
members, it was their first time to see the world-famous venue.<br />
By the time “il mosaico” left, fast friendships had been forged. It was hard to<br />
say good-bye, but the young musicians have continued their friendships online.<br />
A concert tour to Switzerland is now number one on <strong>Philharmonia</strong>’s wish list!<br />

this international exchange possible. Special thanks to “il mosaico” tour patrons Ambassador Christoph<br />

Grown-Ups Night Out!<br />
This fund-raiser, planned by and produced for parents and<br />
families of <strong>Third</strong> Street’s preschool programs, was a huge<br />
success by all accounts. Grown-Ups Night Out, held on<br />
April 17, 2008, included an auction and raffle, which<br />
grossed more than $18,000! Proceeds from the event provided<br />
support for tuition assistance for families in need, as well as<br />
professional development for staff, consultants for special<br />
child development needs and materials to help enrich the<br />
school curriculum. One hundred lots were auctioned off that<br />
night from Yankees tickets to a Ferragamo handbag, and the<br />
raffle prize was a state-of-the-art iPhone. The food, music,<br />
conversation, and even the “bidding wars,” were fabulous!<br />
And that’s not all— the kids in the babysitting rooms had a<br />
blast, to quote one child who enjoyed “playing at school<br />
when it’s dark out!” It took more than 40 parent volunteers,<br />
and Joelle Duffy and Heidi DeRuiter as GNO Co-Chairs, to<br />
plan and produce this event, and we thank them all for their<br />
time, effort, ingenuity and endless enthusiasm. Planning for<br />
this year’s Grown-Ups Night Out, set for April 30, 2009,<br />
begins this fall. Please contact Karen J. Booth, Director of<br />
Preschool Programs, at 212-777-3240, ext. 116, if you are<br />
interested in volunteering or would like to learn more about<br />
donating items to the auction.<br />

Wednesday Winds<br />
For nearly a decade, <strong>Third</strong> Street has sought to develop<br />
a woodwinds, brass and orchestral percussion program<br />
equal in size and quality to its strings and piano<br />
programs. In 2007, we rolled out a Woodwinds, Brass<br />
& Percussion Initiative that now includes partnerships with<br />
five public schools and enriched offerings on site. The newest<br />
component, Wednesday Winds, kicked off on September 17,<br />
2008 at <strong>Third</strong> Street. Students—from beginners on up—are<br />
meeting after school every Wednesday to play in a band<br />
appropriate to their skill level. More advanced students<br />
participate in sectionals and, if they wish, a jazz ensemble.<br />
Instruction begins at 4:00 p.m. and concludes by 7:30<br />
p.m., with a pizza break in between.<br />
<strong>Third</strong> Street is delighted to welcome Tony Mazzocchi to<br />
the faculty as Band Director of Wednesday Winds. Tony<br />
is a wonderful musician and educator who built<br />
one of the city’s most celebrated band programs<br />
at Marine Park Middle School in Brooklyn.<br />
Wednesday Winds costs just under $25 per<br />
week, and is free of charge to students from our<br />
partner schools and to those who take individual<br />
lessons at <strong>Third</strong> Street. Instruments include flute,<br />
oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, French<br />
horn, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn and<br />
tuba. Percussion instruments are also<br />
welcome. Beginners start on snare drum,<br />
bass drum and bells. Wednesday Winds<br />
will help build a strong community among<br />
woodwind, brass and percussion students<br />
at <strong>Third</strong> Street.<br />
Interested? Call the Registration Office at<br />
212-777-3240, ext. 130. It’s never too late to sign up.<br />

HELP MEET THE CHALLENGE!<br />
The Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, which is closing in 2009, has been a<br />
staunch supporter of <strong>Third</strong> Street for more than a quarter century. The Trust<br />
awarded <strong>Third</strong> Street two generous $250,000 challenge grants to ensure that its<br />
support continues in perpetuity. We met the first challenge—a grant to help<br />
establish the Barbara E. Field Chamber Music Fund—within less than a year.<br />
Now, we are asking for your help to meet the second $250,000 challenge.<br />
No donation is too small. And because the Cary Trust will match your gift dollar for<br />
dollar, your gift is worth double to <strong>Third</strong> Street! Funds will go to our endowment in<br />
support of the general purposes of the School.<br />
As we go to press, we have identified more than 85% of the goal, and must raise an<br />
additional $35,000 to meet the challenge.<br />
Please consider making a special contribution today—over and above your annual<br />
giving—to help secure <strong>Third</strong> Street’s future. Contributions by check and credit card are<br />
welcome, as are gifts of securities. Please use the enclosed remittance envelope<br />
(write “Cary Challenge” inside) or call the Development Office at 212-777-3240,<br />
ext. 126 for more information. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!<br />
