\tIdyllwild Arts\u2019 legendary Summer Orchestra Director Larry Livingston is departing after more than 30 years. During Livingston\u2019s tenure with Idyllwild Arts, he consistently received glowing reviews and dramatically enhanced the artistic reputation of Idyllwild Arts around the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tThis year\u2019s 2019 August Summer Culmination Concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall will be the last Livingston conducts, and the performance will be in dedication to him, featuring more than 100 talented young people from High School Summer Chamber Festival Orchestra and Festival Choir of Idyllwild Arts who get the incredible opportunity to perform at the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tLivingston guided the relaunching of the Summer Festival Orchestras three decades ago, after Idyllwild Arts gained its independence from the University of Southern California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tHe helped build the summer orchestral program from a small ensemble of local high school students and faculty in 1988, to one of the finest youth orchestras in the United States, with an international reputation that now attracts students from around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tWhile Livingston\u2019s departure certainly marks the end of a tremendous era for IA, it also signals the beginning of an exciting new era in which the Summer Program and Academy will become more closely integrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tIn the fall, Idyllwild Arts Foundation will welcome famed maestro Ransom Wilson as director of Orchestral Programs, and Gregory Robbins as associate conductor, to conduct the year-round orchestral programs and to build on the prestige and prominence Livingston helped create. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tWilson is a world-renowned flutist, recording artist, chamber musician and conductor who is currently music director and conductor of The Redlands Symphony and has an ongoing professorship at Yale University School of Music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tWilson\u2019s new position with IA is something of a homecoming; he conducted part-time at the school some 10 years ago. These new, year-round orchestral programs will further uplift talented student musicians and give students participating in the Summer Program \u201ca taste\u201d of life at the regular Academy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
