Esteemed
musician and
educator will
direct jazz band
Trumpeter, composer, and edu-
cator Dr. Thara Memory has been
enlisted to direct the jazz band for
advanced students at the Metro-
politan Youth Symphony.
Memory has a long history in
music education and helped start
the jazz program for the youth
symphony over 10 years ago. He
has taught courses at Portland
State University, Portland Com-
munity College and Marylhurst
University, and worked with
award winning high school band
Thara Memory
programs at Portland’s Wilson
High School and Beaverton’s Arts
and Communications Magnet
Academy.
He mentored Portlander Esper-
anza Spalding, partnering with her
on her Grammy award-winning
“City of Roses.” In May 2015,
his American Music Program’s
Paciic Crest Jazz Orchestra won
Lincoln Center’s Essentially El-
lington high school jazz band
competition, and he is this year’s
inductee into the DownBeat Jazz
Education Hall of Fame.
“Dr. Memory is a passionate,
committed musician and teach-
er who is a master at seeing the
unique potential in each of his
students. We are thrilled for our
musicians to have the opportuni-
ty to work with him on a weekly
basis, and to experience irst-hand
his wisdom and heart for music,”

Director Diana Scoggins.
