COMMON MAN, MYTHIC VISION:
The Paintings of Ben Shahn

American family dining with a
European flaw Honest Sr Homemade,
the heart and soul of our cooking

at Juillard in the late 1940s, under the
tutelage of Fritz Mahler, Gustav's
nephew.
In 1959, Resnick began conducting
the Grosse Pointe Symphony, and 16
years later he formed the West
Bloomfield orchestra (what is now the
Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony
Orchestra). Resnick's worked with
most of the musicians in the city and
many of the orchestras.
"It's an ongoing challenge to meet
the budget," he says of the community
orchestras' primary concern. "Ticket
sales never cover expenses, even for the
large city orchestras. We all depend on
corporate and private donations."
Resnick's Birmingham-Bloomfield
Orchestra is comprised of a regular
complement of professional musicians,
many of whom have been there from
the beginning, like Dr. Tor Shwayder,
violinist. Several members also play for
the DSO.
If Resnick represents music's elder
statesman, Liz Rowin is its new blood.
Rowin received bachelor's and mas-
ter's degrees in violin performance
from Mannes School of Music in New
York, and an additional degree in vio-
lin performance in 1991 from U-M.
She is on the faculty at Oakland
University and is the concertmasterof
the Warren Symphony. She also per-
forms with the Michigan Opera
Theatre.
Rowin praises the Warren orchestra
for its dedicated board of directors and
its equally dedicated conductor, David
Daniels. She plays all of the solos for
the orchestra, including this season's
New Violin Concerto by Karl Boelter.
"Dr. Boelter is on the faculty at
OU and has graciously involved me -
with the development of his concer-
to," says Rowin. "I've been receiving it
movement by movement."
The Warren Symphony,auditions
all of its musicians and everyone is
paid according to a tiered pay scale.
"What some of the players lack in
experience, they make up for in exu-
berance," says Rowin. "They're there
because they want to be. They're there
for the love of it."
And as a Jewish concertmaster,
Rowin feels right at home in Warren.
The orchestra, like most, is made up
of a diverse group of individuals from
all ethnicities and religions.
Music transcends cultures, agree all
of the professionals who dedicate
themselves to community orchestras.
The Detroit area is blessed to have
music resounding from high school
auditoriums, synagogues and civic
centers across the region. LI
