Symphony conductor prepares for new season
By Rhonda Reinhart
Staff writer
W hen Marcelo Bussiki heard Beethoven’s
“Fifth Symphony” at the age of 10, a
boy’s love for music surfaced, and a
conductor was born.
Bussiki, the new director of the Brazos Valley
Symphony Orchestra, said the famous sympho
ny is what inspired him to study music.
“I remember playing this piece over and over
and over and waving my arms in the air along
with the music,” he said. “It’s amazing how one
piece of music can change your life.”
Originally from Cuiaba, Brazil, Bussiki moved
to Rio de Janiero to study at the Brazilian Con
servatory of Music. From there, he went to the
Rio de Janiero Federal University, where he con-
“The most important thing right now
is to stabilize the orchestra — to get
everyone working for a common goal,
which is the success of the orchestra.”
MARCELO BUSSIKI
BRAZOS VALLEY SYMPHONY CONDUCTOR
tinued his conducting studies. He is now work
ing on his doctorate at the University of Houston
Moores School of Music.
Bussiki has served as conductor for Sympho
ny North of Houston, Houston Civic Symphony
and Santa Ursula University Chamber Orchestra.
He also served as last year’s interim director for
the Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra.
The Brazos Valley Symphony Society chose
Bussiki from 107 applicants, and he has many
goals for the orchestra.
“The most important thing right now is to sta
bilize the orchestra — to get everyone working
toward a common goal—which is the success of
the orchestra,” he said. “In the long-term, we
would like to see the budget of the orchestra in
crease and subscription sales and individual
ticket sales increase.”
Bussiki said he hopes to bring the orchestra to
a higher level of musicianship.
Myron Hawryluk, orchestra violinist and senior
business analysis-management information sys
tems major, said he decided to join the symphony
after taking a class Bussiki taught at Texas A&M.
“He was excited to teach us,” Hawryluk said.
“He was more concerned with making sure the
students understood the material rather than
just getting through his lesson plan.”
Hawryluk said Bussiki has raised the stan
dards of the symphony.
“He has been more stringent in auditions, and
he accepts no mediocrity in rehearsal,” Hawry
luk said. “He expects the most out of everybody.”
The 1997-98 orchestra season, titled “The Pow
er of Music,” begins Oct. 5 in Rudder Theater with
a performance of Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony,”
among others. Other season highlights include a
holiday concert, a jazz concert and a concert de
voted entirely to American composers.
Bussiki said he likes to program music by con
temporary composers.
“I think it’s very important that a conductor
promote contemporary music,” he said. “It pro
vides a stimulus for production and gives room for
new composers. American people need to know
what music is being produced in their country."
Penny Zent, principal flutist for the orches
tra, said working with Bussiki has been a learn
ing experience.
“It’s been fun to learn new things,” she said.
“He brings a whole new culture to us.”
Zent, who has been with the orchestra for 15
years, will present the United States premiere of
“Flute Concerto” by American composer Jerome
Moross at the April 19 concert. The piece was
written in 1978.
Bussiki said the orchestra brings cultural
and educational lessons to the performers and
the audience.
“The symphony is very important in invigo
rating cultural life in the Brazos Valley,” he said.
“In order for you to appreciate any kind of mu
sic, you must be exposed to it. The most impor
tant thing for people is to not only hear the mu
sic, but be able to understand what they are
listening to and how it was put together.”

Bussiki said this season’s challengingrept
toire will help the musicians grow technical
and musically.
Hawryluk said learning how to communica
is a key part to being in an orchestra.
“It seems like Marcelo can appeal both:
the younger and older players,” he said.‘'Beit
able to cross age barriers like that is particula:
ly important in this area, and 1 think he does;
quite well.”
Bussiki said he agrees communicationisvili
in an orchestra.
“For a conductor to hold an orchestra togej
er, he must be connected to them and them
sic,” he said. “One gesture of the conductorc<|
change the tone of one entire section. Thee
chestra is the conductor’s instrument.’’
Bussiki said a performance is made up
various intense feelings, with a glimpse of
tional thoughts.
“After you start performing, you are so
centrated on the music, the nervousnessgoe
away, and it gives way to musical thoughts,'
said. “There is no reason for us to be musician
if we can’t communicate our emotions.’’ |
