BONUS TRACKS: TSO Civic Ensembles Conductor Lynne Tobin Shares Favorites For Upcoming Season

Lynne Tobin

Lynne Tobin,  Director of the Traverse City Civic Ensembles, spent an early morning hour in Studio B co-hosting an early hour with Kate Botello. Lynne brought great music with her, including highlights from the upcoming holiday concert season. She even brought us a double-header Kids' Commute!

Lynne Tobin grew up in Plymouth, MI and graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy. An independent school educator for over 30 years, Lynne currently teaches general music and strings at The Pathfinder School, plays cello with the Traverse Symphony Orchestra and conducts the unique, multi-age community orchestras, Prelude and Chamber Civic Strings, as an educational program for the TSO.  Ms Tobin has presented lectures and clinics for the American Orff-Schulwerk Association, Georgia and Michigan Music Educators Associations, the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association and the East Asia Regional Council of Schools. She has worked as a consultant for Interlochen Center for the Arts, The Curtis Institute of Music and the American Boy Choir in Princeton, NJ.

 
Lynne came to Traverse City from Ann Arbor, MI where she taught strings and photography at the Emerson School and was director of The Michigan Children of SCORE (String, Choral, Orff and Recorder Ensemble) and the Junior and Sterling String Orchestras through the School for the Performing Arts. 
Prior to Lynne’s work in Ann Arbor, she taught at the Savannah Country Day School in Georgia for 15 years and was principal cellist of the Savannah Symphony. To thank her for many years of work with children in the community, the Mayor proclaimed April 18, 1994 as ‘Lynne Tobin Day’ in the city of Savannah.

It was such a pleasure to have Lynne with us in studio this morning! Be sure to catch the TSO Civic Holiday Concert tomorrow night, the Pathfinder Holiday Concert on Dec. 12, (both are free concerts at the First Congregational Church) and the TSO Home for the Holidays Concert Dec. 14 and 15 (visit traversesymphony.org for tickets).
