I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

On the darker end of the spectrum, there are plenty of bands more influenced by Siouxsie and Bauhaus than by surfing and beaches.

And music has long celebrated the beauty and power of nature.

Even one person. Then it’s worth doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the artists I interviewed expect audience members to go home and sell their car or lobby their lawmakers about climate change, though they might applaud that move. But a concert can evoke a strong emotional reaction. Climate Music’s Stephan Crawford said he felt the music was having an impact, after hearing one woman speak in the forum after the project’s first performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She said, ‘You know I was listening to the music and looking at the years count up,'” Crawford recalled, “and she said, ‘That’s when I was born. And that’s when my daughter was born. And that’s when my granddaughter will be born.’ And she was really putting the data in the context of her own life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Why? For the love of it, says George Yefchak, a member of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.novavista.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nova Vista Symphony\u003c/a>, one of the oldest amateur orchestras in Silicon Valley. The orchestra is celebrating its 50\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> anniversary this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we have way more fun than people who do it because it’s their job,” says Yefchak, who works as a research scientist and programmer for Agilent Technologies, a maker of scientific instruments, by day. By night, he’s a musical jack-of-all-trades, filling a wide variety of roles for orchestras all over the Bay Area. For Nova Vista, Yefchak’s an oboist, board member, and occasional rehearsal conductor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yefchak is part of a vibrant scene that compels thousands of passionate musicians to dedicate most of their free time to rehearsals in churches and multi-purpose rooms rented on the cheap from local schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/247923932″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=’166′ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In truth, the terms “amateur” and “professional” as they’re generally understood today don’t really describe this world effectively. There’s a spectrum of talent that runs between those two points. And while many of the musicians who play for Nova Vista, like Yefchak, do have full-time jobs that are not music-related, they take their hobby seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody’s paid, except for me and the concert master and a few professionals we once in awhile bring in,” says Nova Vista music director, Anthony Quartuccio. “But everybody here treats this like a professional orchestra. There’s a very high standard of preparation. There’s a high standard for the way we run board meetings and our financials, and the way we go into the community. So it’s a professionally run orchestra by people who do it for the love of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Keeping musicians challenged and coffers filled\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent evening at Lakewood Elementary School in Sunnyvale, many Nova Vista musicians arrived at rehearsal directly from work, wearing nurses scrubs, or jackets emblazoned with tech company logos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are people who love a challenge, and Quartuccio is happy to oblige. “Every season, we pick a piece or two that will be a rite of passage, which is something we’re not sure we can do, but we’re going to take it on anyway,” Quartuccio says. This season’s big musical challenge comes in the form of Tchaikovsky’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.classicfm.com/composers/tchaikovsky/music/symphony-no5-e-minor/#W2K00Z8r2IyxrX1T.97\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Fifth\u003c/em>\u003cem> Symphony\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, one of the 19th century Russian composer’s most well-known pieces. Though perhaps not as difficult to perform as Tchaikovsky’s famously unplayable \u003cem>Violin Concerto in D Major\u003c/em>, the masterwork isn’t exactly a breeze either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even without the heavy overhead professional orchestras labor under, many amateur orchestras struggle for money. “Artistic expenses aside, it still costs money to put on a show,” says Kris Sinclair, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.acso.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Association of California Symphony Orchestras\u003c/a>. “And those ticket prices, if they charge admission, will be much lower than at a professional orchestra.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nova Vista typically charges $15 a ticket. Even so, the organization’s board members say money is not a problem. Nova Vista has an annual budget of $50,000. It doesn’t charge musicians annual dues, but they do donate and fund raise. “Everybody here treats this like a professional orchestra, sheerly for the love of it,” Quartuccio says.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"callout alignright\">\u003cstrong>pARTicipate with us! \u003c/strong>We need your help to make this project bloom.

Software engineer and cellist Harris Karsch came out from the East Coast to work at Google about a year and a half ago. “I just love playing with an ensemble,” Karsch says. “It also keeps me practicing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Playing cello as an undergrad at Cornell, Karsch similarly found music a great way to integrate into the student body. “A lot of my best friends were from orchestra, not from my classes,” Karsch says. “Not the ones I ended up with in the dorms and living with but from orchestra and music.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s proved true for many amateur musicians, some of whom date and even marry each other. Carl and Eva Ching of Sunnyvale met sitting next to each other at an orchestra rehearsal one night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guess we took a liking to each other,” says Carl. “And so we’ve been married, I guess, 35 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eva’s family is full of musicians. Carl’s, not so much. For the past 25 years, Nova Vista has effectively been the couple’s third family; it’s a group where the Chings feel at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, and they get to geek out performing some of classical music’s greatest hits. Last year, Quartuccio’s “rite of passage” piece was Beethoven’s \u003cem>Ninth Symphony\u003c/em>. “It’s been on our bucket list for years,” Eva says. “Both of us were sitting there in the middle of the second violin section during the concert, going ‘I can’t believe we’re playing this. Listen to how beautiful it sounds.’ And it just makes so much difference to share it with someone who enjoys it as much as you do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sharing the music\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nova Vista often shares its performances with local students, professionals and musical organizations. Here are a few moments from a rehearsal of John Rutter’s \u003cem>Gloria\u003c/em> with Nova Vista Symphony and the San Jose Symphonic Choir conducted by Leroy Kromm. (Courtesy George Yefchak.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44_n3RMdsDc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the people in Nova Vista are so deep into making music that they find the time to play for more than one orchestra. This phenomenon is quite common, according to Michael Zwiebach, senior editor of the online classical music journal \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfcv.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Classical Voice\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. “Every church, every temple has a choir, right?” Zweibach says. “There are tons of musicians out there and they’re all looking for something to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11316324\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 325px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11316324\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/RS18401_IMG_2710.JPG-qut-400x626.jpg\" alt=\""We all know people within our own families who’ve been great musicians," regardless of whether they're pro, says Michael Zwiebach of San Francisco Classical Voice.

Software engineer and cellist Harris Karsch came out from the East Coast to work at Google about a year and a half ago. “I just love playing with an ensemble,” Karsch says. “It also keeps me practicing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Playing cello as an undergrad at Cornell, Karsch similarly found music a great way to integrate into the student body. “A lot of my best friends were from orchestra, not from my classes,” Karsch says. “Not the ones I ended up with in the dorms and living with but from orchestra and music.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s proved true for many amateur musicians, some of whom date and even marry each other. Carl and Eva Ching of Sunnyvale met sitting next to each other at an orchestra rehearsal one night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guess we took a liking to each other,” says Carl. “And so we’ve been married, I guess, 35 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eva’s family is full of musicians. Carl’s, not so much. For the past 25 years, Nova Vista has effectively been the couple’s third family; it’s a group where the Chings feel at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, and they get to geek out performing some of classical music’s greatest hits. Last year, Quartuccio’s “rite of passage” piece was Beethoven’s \u003cem>Ninth Symphony\u003c/em>. “It’s been on our bucket list for years,” Eva says. “Both of us were sitting there in the middle of the second violin section during the concert, going ‘I can’t believe we’re playing this. Listen to how beautiful it sounds.’ And it just makes so much difference to share it with someone who enjoys it as much as you do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sharing the music\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nova Vista often shares its performances with local students, professionals and musical organizations.
