Combined Concert with High School Honors Band

Middle School Honors Band Conductor: Mr. Paul Morton Coordinator: Ms. Ashley Crosby Saturday, January 17, 11am-12noon Marriott, Grand Ballroom Sponsored by FBA

Paul Morton is recently retired after a career spanning 40 years. During that time, Mr. Morton educated thousands of students and inspired many to choose music performance or music education as their career choice. Mr. Morton grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania and started playing the clarinet in the third grade. He continued to play the clarinet through middle school but switched to the tuba when he went to high school. The tuba soon became his instrument of choice. Mr. Morton attended and graduated from West Virginia University in 1985 with a BME. In fall 1985, he became the director of bands at McArthur High School in Hollywood, Florida, and stayed in that position until he moved to Driftwood Middle School in 1991. He remained at Driftwood Middle School for the next 34 years until his retirement in June 2025. Over the years, Paul Morton’s bands have received top honors at band festivals with consistent superior ratings at FBA music performance assessments. Mr. Morton is a sought-after honor band conductor as well as a highly respected adjudicator. He has served as FBA district chairperson, ASBDA Florida co-chair, Broward County’s mentoring chair, and is the immediate past president of Phi Beta Mu. In addition, Mr. Morton was awarded the coveted Oliver Hobbs award by the FBA in 2020. Paul serves as the music director at Plantation Community Church. In retirement, he plans to remain active in music education and looks forward to traveling with his wife, Zuli, as well as spending time with their children and grandchildren.

Combined Concert with Concert Orchestra and Middle School Orchestra

All-State Symphonic Orchestra Conductor: Dr. Tammy S. Yi Coordinator: Mr. Steven Bossert Saturday, January 17, 6:30pm-8pm TCC, Ballroom A Sponsored by FOA Dr. Tammy S. Yi is a first-generation Korean-American conductor and music education scholar whose artistry and scholarship are deeply rooted in the transformative power of music. Renowned for her

unwavering commitment to artistic excellence and social transfor-

mation, Dr. Yi is a passionate advocate for social change through the performing arts, dedicating her career to inspiring and empowering young musicians worldwide. Dr. Yi is recognized for her exception-

al artistry and visionary leadership by orchestras across the globe.

Praised by renowned conductor Maestro Carlos Miguel Prieto for her “architectural precision” and emotionally compelling interpretations,

Dr. Yi’s conducting style has been described as “incredibly powerful.” Her ability to unify diverse ensembles and deliver performances of

profound structural and expressive integrity is a hallmark of her work. Her extensive conducting career spans professional and youth orches-

tras on five continents, with notable engagements in South Korea, Thailand, South America, Europe, and across the United States. Dr. Yi’s

artistic versatility is reflected in collaborations with leading figures

and ensembles, including Gustavo Dudamel, Nina Shekhar, Ray Chen, Derrick Hodge, Khruangbin, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Juilliard Orchestra, the Manhattan School of Music Orchestras,

the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, and Janet Jackson. She has led El Sistema orchestras internationally,

conducted the California and Texas All-State Orchestras and the TMEA Region 24 and 25 Symphony

Orchestras, and directed honor ensembles in Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, New York, Nevada, and throughout Southern California. Her guest invitations include the Georgia All-State Symphony, Kansas

All-State Symphony Orchestra, Virginia All-State Symphony, SCSBOA Symphony, and Sinfonia Azteca in Mexico, among others. A sought-after guest conductor and clinician, she is equally recognized for

her pedagogical expertise, appearing regularly at premier music festivals, conservatories, and academic institutions worldwide. As a Carlos Miguel Prieto Conducting Fellow with the Orchestra of the

Americas, she continues to shape the global orchestral landscape with vision, technical mastery, and artistry. Dr. Yi serves as the conductor of the YOLA Institute Youth Symphony Orchestra, the flagship ensemble of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s El Sistema-inspired initiative founded by Gustavo

All-State Symphonic Orchestra biography continued Dudamel. In this role, she leads the orchestra and mentors young musicians while championing an

orchestral training model that integrates artistic excellence with social impact. Beyond her conducting career, Dr. Yi is deeply committed to music education and supporting music teachers in the community. She mentors pre-K–12 music educators, leads professional development for El Sistema Teaching

Artists, trains aspiring conductors, and designs comprehensive music curricula for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. An influential scholar, Dr. Yi is the author of Culturally Responsive Pedagogies for the

Orchestra: Untold Stories of Seating Oppression and the Uprise of Social Justice, a groundbreaking work that challenges conventional norms and amplifies historically excluded voices in orchestral spac-

es. She serves as associate professor and director of music education at Chapman University and is a faculty member at the Colburn Conservatory of Music, further solidifying her leadership role in shaping the future of music performance and pedagogy. Dr. Yi stands at the forefront of a new generation

of conductors—artists who blend technical mastery with a strong social consciousness, dedicated to shaping a more inclusive and resonant future for classical music.
