We are very proud to host Steven Lowe as Guest Speaker as we kick off our first ever stand-alone concert series for the phenomenal Youth Symphony led by Dr. Teresa Metzger Howe. We wanted to offer up a little information on Steve's distinguished background, and many accomplishments.
Steven Lowe, Public Information Specialist for Seattle Symphony from 1996 through January 2007, joined the Symphony staff after two decades as a psychotherapist and more than three decades as a freelance contributer to many different musical journals including High Fidelity/ Musical America, Stereo Quarterly, Keynote, and Classical magazines. He has also written for The Los Angeles Times, and The Wisconsin State Journal.
A Rockefeller Foundation Grant -Project for the Training of Music Critics- brought Steve to the University of Southern California in 1965 and led to a position on staff as a reviewer and assistant editor for High Fidelity/Musical America Magazine.
Steve currently provides program notes for Seattle Symphony, Seattle Chamber Music Society, the Northwest Sinfonietta, and the University of Washington's "World Series" chamber music concerts and piano recitals. Steve also serves frequently as pre-concert lecturer for several of those organizations. In the past he has lectured for the Northwest Chamber Orchestra, Seattle Baroque and the Early Music Guild; he wrote program notes for the Virginia Symphony, New York Chamber Symphony, Stamford (Conn.) Symphony and the Northwest Chamber Orchestra.
Since 2007, Steve has given filled-to-capasity classes on classical music history for the Creative Retirement Institute through Edmonds Community college. He has been a frequent lecturer on classical music at the Stroum Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island and has also taught at North Seattle Community College.
We are so looking forward to Steve's speech on November 14th at Bellevue Art Museum. We look forward to seeing you there!
