By Esther Kashkin

The Adelphi Orchestra, Northern New Jersey’s oldest chamber orchestra will launch its 62nd Season of “Music for All” with its Young Artist Showcase: Evocative Tone Poems Sunday October 25th at 4PM, River Dell Regional High School Auditorium. The concert is free and open to the public and is supported by a 2015 Grant from New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, through funds administered by Bergen County.

Always an audience favorite, Adelphi Orchestra’s Young Artist Showcase affords young musicians the rare and valuable opportunity to appear in concert as a soloist with a professional orchestra, and serves as an inspiration to other aspiring young musicians.

Noted conductor Richard Owen leads the Adelphi Orchestra in its 62nd Season premiere concert featuring fourteen year old violin soloist Ari Boutris, one of two first place winners of the ninth annual 2014-15 Adelphi Orchestra Young Artist Competition. For this concert Ari will be performing on a fine Nicolo Amati violin (generously provided by The Beares International Violin Society of London) in Saint- Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso in A Minor, Op. 28 for violin and orchestra, a composition written in 1863 by Camille Saint-Saëns for the virtuoso violinist Pablo de Sarasate. The concert will also include Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, Liszt’s Les préludes, S 97, Dvorak’s Water Goblin, Op. 107/B 195 and Saint-Saëns: Danse macabre.

The 2014-15 Adelphi Orchestra Young Artist Competition winner Ari Boutris began studying violin at the JCC School in Englewood at the age of three. Described by his mom as “equally involved with baseball and with music” Ari is an eighth grade student at the Collegiate School, New York City and plays as a pitcher for the NY West Side Hawks travel & tournament team. Ari is a violin student of Patinka Kopec at the Manhattan School of Music Pre-College and has won auditions to participate in Master Classes given by Glenn Dicterow, Ani Kavafian, Pieter Schoeman and Laura Frautschi and takes lessons on occasion with Pinchas Zukerman in New York and in Ottawa.

Entering its 62nd consecutive season, the award-winning Adelphi Orchestra (AO) is a professional, non-profit orchestra offering symphony, chamber and educational concert programs in Northern New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area, presenting concerts with accomplished national and international guest soloists and distinguished conductors. Through its high level of artistic excellence, the AO attracts and retains the region’s best freelance musicians. As a public service, the Adelphi Orchestra has given concerts at the Actor’s Fund Home in Englewood and the Cupola in Ridgewood. Adelphi Orchestra collaborates with choirs and arts organizations in venues that include public schools and libraries, and in performing institutions throughout the state.
