American violinist Gabrielle Marie Wunsch has died at the age of 51. For more than a decade, she was a valued presence with period and Baroque ensembles in the Netherlands, including the New Dutch Academy, Nieuwe Philharmonie Utrecht, B’Rock, and the Nederlandse Bachvereniging, before later returning to the US and joining Philharmonia Baroque. She will be remembered not only for her artistry, but for the warmth and dedication she brought to every performance.

Yet, across the country, small school music programs are proving size does not define impact,” writes Richard Tengowski, introducing this interview with fellow NAfME Small Schools Initiative Task Force members Lance Jones and Melissa Jmaeff. “Small school music programs often operate with limited resources, yet their influence within the profession extends far beyond the size of their classrooms, ensembles, or communities.” Read “The Power of Small School Music Programs” in the December 2025 issue of SBO+ Magazine (available complimentarily to NAfME members): https://artistpro.mydigitalpublication.com/december-2025/page-28
