Welcome!
Bayshore Symphony embarks on a Musical Journey this year, presenting a guest conductor in each of our concerts. Our Fall concerts were under the baton of Seattle native, Travis Sipher. Winter concerts were under the direction of guest conductor Trevor Lutzenhiser. Spring concert conductor is well-known area musician and educator Robert Storms. We know you will enjoy seeing these new conductors on the podium.
Trevor Lutzenheiser is also a Seattle native. Trevor began violin studies at age 5 and grew up as a member of a family musical group that performed throughout the Seattle area. He studied with Marin Freidmann of the Seattle Symphony and former faculty at the Preparatory Division at the Juilliard School, and with Denes Zsigmondy while at the University of Washington. Currently he is principal second violin for the Seattle Philharmonic and the new, well-received Octava Chamber Orchestra. Trevor played as concertmaster of the Bellevue Opera under Maestro Alex Innecco for many years, which led to an invitation to perform as guest concertmaster for the 9th Street Philharmonic in Columbia, Missouri. He has performed as concertmaster of the Evergreen City Ballet Orchestra and as concertmaster for the Northwest Lyric Opera in several productions. Trevor continues to work as a freelance violinist with numerous regional ensembles including the Trio con Brio, the Yakima Symphony, Federal Way Symphony Orchestra, Everett Symphony Orchestra and the Everett Philharmonic.
Bayshore Symphony is pleased to offer exciting soloists, including violinist Kwan Bin Park, violist Joyce Ramée and clarinetist Ruth Steele, as we take our journeys across time and place. Come along!

We love hearing from our audience members! Here are a few comments sent to us --- From Bellingham: "Kudos to the Bayshore Symphony for putting on such a fabulous program on Sunday! We were spell-bound by the music and energized for weeks to come by the Bizet. Honestly, it was just breathtaking and we were all so happy to have a reprise. Our friends loved it, too." From Mount Vernon: "Thanks for the swell concert. We should have, and next time, we will for sure bring friends!"
Joyce Ramée
Joyce Ramée will play the Stamitz Viola Concerto in D Major with us on January 21 and 22, 2012. Ms. Ramée received her degree from the Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia, where she studied with Max Aronoff and Joseph de Pasquale. While studying under a full fellowship at Tanglewood, Ms. Ramée performed under conductors including Leonard Bernstein, Seiji Ozawa and Kurt Mazur.
Ms. Ramée is co-director and co-founder of the Max Aronoff Viola Institute (www.viola.com/aronoff). Under Ms. Ramée's direction, the Institute has trained more than 850 musicians of all ages since its opening in 1991. Her curriculum design for the Institute has included chamber music coaching at all levels, instrumental seminars, technical workshops, lecture-demonstrations and professional performances. Now in its twenty-second season, the Max Aronoff Viola Institute currently presents its Festival and Concerts at Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington. Since 1987, Joyce Ramée has been an affiliate artist faculty member at the University of Puget Sound, Northwest Ballet Orchestra and the Auburn Symphony.
An active recitalist and soloist, Joyce Ramée has performed major concertos with local orchestras and given world premieres by contemporary composers. She was selected by Temple University as the violist to represent Max Aronoff's studio in two prestigious concerts celebrating the Curtis String Quartet's Centennial in 2007 and 2008. Ms. Ramée's current season of activities includes a private recording of the works of Seattle composer Dell Wade, solo appearances with the Bayshore Symphony, faculty recitals at the University of Puget Sound, performances in Seattle with the Cathedral Trio (flute, harp, viola), and the Max Aronoff Institute Festival Concerts in June 2012.
