| Hunter Stetz, age 16, is entering his junior year at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, New Hampshire. He began playing in fifth grade, and began private lessons with Trisha Craig the following summer. Stetz is a member of the school’s concert band (whenever his schedule allows him to). He also received a silver performance award at the 2009 Greater Boston Flute Association’s Solo and Ensemble Day. The Summer Youth Music School at the University of New Hampshire has also been graced with his presence for the past two summers. This fall, he will be playing in the NYSO Select Flute Choir. In addition to his flute playing, Stetz also plays guitar, is just beginning to pick up bass for a local band, listens to music very different from his flute repertoire – ranging from punk to indie to blues to hip-hop - and is a member of Winnacunnet’s cross country and spring track teams. | |||
| Darius Milhaud was born September 4, 1892 in the French city of Marseilles to a Jewish family. He studied at the Conservatoire de Paris and was tutored by the likes of Vincent d’Indy, André Gédalge, and Charles Widor. In 1940, Milhaud immigrated to the United States and began teaching at Mills College in Oakland, California. His most famous students include Dave Brubeck, Burt Bacharach, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich. He was an active composer, and had an opus list that reached 443. His influences were varied, but many of his most prominent works were jazz-inflected. From 1947 to 1971 he alternated teaching at Mills and the Conservatoire de Paris. Failing health necessitated his retirement. Milhaud passed away on June 22, 1974, in Geneva, Switzerland. | |||
