Its annual national conference increased in attendance, as well. Bartram formed a major research alliance with the Library of Congress called &ldquo;Unearthing America&rsquo;s Musical Treasures.&rdquo; He presented his initial findings on the project, with some 12 major discoveries, to the conference last weekend.<\/p><p>Bartram&rsquo;s successor, Kory Katseanes from Brigham Young University, recognized him and led a standing ovation during the national conference in Washington, D.C., last weekend. The conference, organized by Bartram, featured performances by the Baltimore Symphony, the National Symphony (and a private session with Maestro Eschenbach), a private tour of musical treasures at the Library of Congress and a performance by the United States Air Force Orchestra.<\/p><p>Bartram ascended into the national spotlight four years ago with his election as national vice president. He led an effort to write a strategic plan and create a new website, which he has managed. In addition, he created a new financial system, a world-class online library of resources and a new business plan.<\/p><p>Bartram is now immediate past-president of the organization, and will help guide the new leadership into the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Bartram, director of the UMW Philharmonic Orchestra, recently completed a two-year term as president of the College Orchestra Directors Association, or CODA.
