 From November 9th to 14th, accordionist Henry Doktorski served as Artist-In-Residence for the Ames Iowa High School Orchestra, and also performed as guest soloist with the orchestra in a concert on the last evening, under the direction of MD Mary Kay Polashek. Henry Doktorski writes: “There was no question in my mind about the high artistic standards of Mary Kay Polashek and her orchestra when she told me that the world-famous harpsichordist Igor Kipnis had been one of their guest artists. I had a terrific time working with Mary Kay Polashek and Emil. They kept me busy all day long! In the morning I was taken to various schools to give accordion presentations and lecture/recitals. Around noon was our rehearsal with the orchestra at the High School (what a terrific orchestra—87 string players!). When Mary Kay Polashek began as Director of the orchestras 22 years ago, she had only seven students. Now she has more than 90 students! I was particularly impressed with the first chair players who were as good as many professionals! It was quite a moving experience for me; to create such terrific music with such a talented Director and excellent young players. |
