Your support ensures that Crowden can
continue to use chamber music as a learning model for young musicians to cultivate
confidence, commitment and teamwork.
The special role Crowden plays in the lives of
young people is nicely captured by Crowden
alumnus Owen Dalby, who is currently
an artist-in-residence at Stanford University
and a member of the St. Lawrence String
Quartet:
The education I received at the
Crowden School was some of the
most formative of my life. My years
at Crowden showed me that cham-

this wonderful shared and social
Crowden School alumni
gathered in New York City
this October for the first of
hopefully many reunions for
alumni on the East Coast.
When Crowden’s Executive and Artistic
Director Doris Fukawa realized she had to
travel east for personal reasons, she immediately decided to capitalize on the trip to
connect with former Crowden students and
friends. The opportunity came at short notice,
but luckily Emily Adams (’97) and her
partner George Adams kindly offered to host a
‘Meet & Greet’ at the George Adams Gallery
in Chelsea. Doris also met alums uptown for
a happy hour at the Hotel Beacon Bar on the
Upper West Side.
Armed with old yearbooks and photo albums on both occasions, Doris met with small
but exceptionally engaged groups of alumni—
all eager to spin Crowden yarns and to connect
with other classmates. After browsing through
old photos and memories, they swapped updates on their lives at present, met partners and
children, and exchanged contact information.
Not surprisingly, the attending Crowden alums
are all immersed in fascinating activities, from
working as a Google engineer to releasing a
new single for an orchestral pop duo.
Both reunion events proved heartfelt,
invigorating experiences. Plans for more East
Coast events for alumni are certainly in our
future!

experience that kids rarely have at
this level. Learning to play chamber
music at Crowden is all about when
to lead, when to follow, how to support each other, and most of all how
to LISTEN to your peers and create
something beautiful together. These
abilities, learned early, have made
me not only a better musician but a
better learner, a better leader, and
simply a better person. I am so proud
to watch the school turn out generation after generation of kids who also
know these skills and whose many
achievements can, I believe, be traced
to that unique shared experience
among middle schoolers and their
teachers. Bravo, Crowden!
The joy Crowden students experience in playing music together nurtures a zeal to create,
explore and listen while fueling a lifelong
passion for music. Please consider making a
gift, as Crowden’s capacity to transform lives
through music depends on the generosity of
people like you.

Mancini Lectures Examine Interdisciplinary Arts
Launched last year in honor
of our school’s academic
founder, Piero Mancini,
the Mancini lecture series
presents experts speaking on
interesting musical topics.
Last year focused on science and music,
presenting sound engineer John Meyer,
who designed the state-of-the-art acoustic
system in Crowden’s Hoefer Auditorium, and
physicist Carl Haber, a Crowden alum dad
and MacArthur Fellow who is restoring audio
historical treasures long thought lost to posterity. This season, the Mancini Series focuses
on interdisciplinary arts with two lectures
connected to 2015-16 programming by Cal
Performances and the San Francisco Ballet.
On November 19, composer and double
bassist Shinji Eshima presented his
lecture, “Bach, Ballet, Buddhism, Bodhisattvas, and Anne Crowden.” Over the course of
a fascinating hour, Eshima used his composition process for two works commissioned by
the San Francisco Ballet—including one the
Ballet will perform this March—as a framework for his thinking on music, Buddhism,
and artistic inspiration. His lecture began with
performances of a Buddhist chant, performed
by monks from the San Francisco Zen Center,
and a Bach prelude performed by a Crowden
School pianist. It ended with Eshima’s own
composition, combining an unchanged Buddhist chant with the same Bach prelude to
beautiful, celestial effect. In between, Eshima
traced a connective arc between practicing
Buddhism and practicing music as Anne
Crowden taught her students to—both with a
purpose of “putting people on this path toward
their own happiness.”
Eshima claims he came to epiphany
considering Buddhism’s Noble Eightfold Path
in comparison to Anne’s life and actions as a
teacher: “Anne’s behavior for all those eight elements was so heightened, so admirable, it came
to me... I think of her as a Bodhisattva—someone who is already enlightened, but decides to
stick around on earth to help the rest of us. I’m
beginning to think that music is a practice like
Buddhism is a practice—it requires all of the
same things.”
The Mancini Series will continue on
February 25, when photographer Deborah
O'Grady discusses her multimedia collaboration with the St. Louis Symphony on Olivier
Messiaen’s Des Canyons aux Étoiles (From the
Canyons to the Stars). A project of majestic

proportions, Des Canyons aux Étoiles premieres
in Berkeley at Cal Performances this season to
celebrate the centenary of the National Park
Service, and was commissioned by Cal Performances, Los Angeles Philharmonic, St. Louis
Symphony, Washington Performing Arts, and
Sydney Symphony.
Crowden members receive two complimentary tickets to Mancini Series lectures and

Crowden’s Winter Benefit
Concert features Crowden
School alumnus David McCarroll (tcs ’99), recently
appointed violinist of the illustrious Vienna Piano Trio.
David has been described as “a violinist
of mature musicality and deep understanding
of his repertoire whose playing is distinguished
by clarity of form and line” by Musik Heute.
Winner of the 2012 European Young Concert
Artists Auditions and Silver Medalist at the
Klein International Competition, he made his
concerto debut with the London Mozart Players in 2002 and has since appeared in major
concert halls including the Konzerthaus Berlin,
Concertgebouw, Wigmore Hall, Kennedy
Center, and Carnegie Hall. His performances
have been broadcast on radio stations including
WGBH Boston, WQXR New York, National
Public Radio, and the BBC.
David will perform an evening of violin
masterworks for the concert on Thursday, January 7, mingling with guests at a post-concert
dessert and wine reception. Tickets are $125,
with proceeds benefiting music education programs and scholarships at Crowden.
