Emily Bernstein 1958-2005 Emily Bernstein was the Principal Clarinetist
with the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra and The Pasadena Symphony, under the
direction of Jorge Mester. She was also a member of the acclaimed
contemporary music ensemble XTET and served on the faculty of the Henry
Mancini Institute. Emily graduated with Honors from Stanford University with
degrees in both Music and English and later earned a Master of Music degree
from the Eastman School of Music. After graduating, she went to Mexico for
two years to play with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Jalapa and teach at the
University of Veracruz. On March 26, 1994, Emily performed in her first
concert with The Pasadena Symphony as a principal musician, filling in at
the last minute for an ill Dominick Fera. After just two rehearsals, she
played Stravinsky¹s Fairy Kiss, a work that is abundant with extensive
clarinet solos. Dominick retired at the end of that season and Jorge
appointed Emily the new principal for the 1994-1995 Season, a post she has
held ever since. Emily made frequent guest appearances as a soloist and
chamber musician throughout the west and recorded for the Delos, Phillips,
and Sony Classic labels. She was an active studio musician and performed on
hundreds of motion picture and television scores including The Terminal,
Catch Me if You Can, Pirates of the Caribbean, Seabiscuit, and JAG. She had
a busy private teaching studio and loved to jog with her two border collies,
Shane and Nala, in her spare time. It is with a profound sense of loss that
we note the passing of this talented artist and dear friend. Her passion for
her art and her love of life was a comfort and a joy to all who knew her. At
Emily¹s request, please consider making a donation to the newly established
Emily Bernstein Fund at The Pasadena Symphony in lieu of flowers. This fund
will ensure the continued excellence of the ensemble that was such an
important part of Emily¹s artistic life, allowing her devotion to music to
live on for years to come. The Emily Bernstein Fund
