Message from the Music Director and Board President:
Thank you for joining us as we celebrate 36 years of bringing cultural enrichment and beautiful
orchestral music to our community. Music transcends time, and compositions written years ago can
evolve into classics—hence this season’s theme, “Timeless.”
This concert season also marks Les Pfutzenreuter’s 26th year as the Conductor and Music Director
and Margie Salcedo Rice’s 31st year with the orchestra. The majority of our orchestra musicians have
played in the symphony for more than a decade.
Our newest audience members may not be aware that the Ukiah Symphony Association depends on
sponsors, donors, and advertisers to help bridge the gap between ticket sales and our expenses, which
average $10,000-$18,000 per concert. We appreciate their making it possible for us to celebrate our
36th anniversary.
If you have not already done so, please consider a donation, sponsorship or endowment that will allow
us to keep on providing symphonic music for anniversaries to come.
Please sit back and enjoy the season that we have planned for you!

AA R ON A ME S
Born in Burbank, CA, and raised in Ukiah, CA, Aaron
Ames has been a pianist and musician since the age
of seven, when he first began piano lessons under the
tutelage of Mr. Michael Coughenour. Throughout his
school years, he was an active member of wind ensemble
and jazz bands in middle school and high school.
Upon graduation from Ukiah High, he was accepted to
the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA, where he
studied with Professor Frank Wiens and Dr. Rex Cooper.
Each summer, he would return to Ukiah and contribute to
the summer musical programs at Mendocino College.
While at UOP he became a member of Phi Mu Alpha
Sinfonia and Theta Chi Fraternity, and received his
Bachelor’s Degree in Music Performance in 2008.
After receiving his degree, Mr. Ames applied and was
accepted to the graduate music program at Appalachian
State University in Boone, NC. At Appalachian State, he
studied under Dr. Rodney Reynerson and was given the
opportunity to perform the first movement of Beethoven’s
Piano Concerto No. 5.
Since graduation from App State, Mr. Ames has
discovered an affinity and admiration of piano
accompaniment. He has had the good fortune
to continue his association with the University
as a staff accompanist and Opera Workshop
accompanist, where he contributes to the musical
growth and maturation of its students.
He has also been involved with several theatrical
productions through the App State Department of
Theater and Dance and in the greater community,
most recently finishing a run as music director of
“The Wiz” at the Ashe County Little Theater. In
2014, he joined the Western Piedmont Symphony
in Hickory, NC as their Principal Pianist. In the near
future, he plans to apply to a university one more
time, and work towards a Doctorate of Collaborative
Piano.
Mr. Ames is excited and honored to be invited back
for a second time to perform as a soloist with the
Ukiah Symphony Orchestra.
He received his Master’s Degree in Music Performance
in 2010, and was invited to join Pi Kappa Lambda, the
musician’s academic honors society.
