Marriage Notes (Margaret Davis)

Early start to a musical life
Thursday, December 11, 2003. St. Joseph News-Press
By KEN NEWTON
Consider it bedside manner. When Margaret Kew joined the St. Joseph Symphony in 1964, she accepted while off her feet.
The conductor offered a spot while she was in Sisters Hospital, giving birth to a son.
Mrs. Kew had a violin in her hospital room but didn’t need to perform. Her 21 years as concertmaster for the Des Moines Symphony proved portfolio enough.
“I guess he thought he didn’t need to do too much auditioning,” she says.
A position of honor and utility, a concertmaster is the first chair, first violin, a first among equals in an orchestra. The role requires getting the symphony in place and in tune before the conductor takes the stage.
If the conductor falls over in a faint, the concertmaster must choose between reviving the person or picking up the baton. Or maybe that’s apocryphal. Still, you need some serious musical chops.
A musician since age 3, Mrs. Kew earned her way to a front seat.
“She’s a gem,” says Ruth Krusemark, chairwoman of the music program at Benedictine College, where Mrs. Kew serves as associate professor.
Dr. Krusemark speaks as a long admirer of her colleague. When the department chair was in fifth grade, she began taking violin lessons from Mrs. Kew.
“I was in awe of her talent, and I still am,” she says. “She could play in any orchestra in the world.”
She came to Atchison two weeks into her life, her father a chemist helping establish a Pillsbury laboratory in the Kansas river town and her mother an accomplished pianist and organist. Her grandmother was a fine soprano.
While her mother drilled her at a keyboard, John McKenzie, head of the Benedictine string department and choir director at the First Presbyterian Church the family attended, urged that Margaret begin work on the violin.
“I wanted to start … but my mother thought I was too young,” Mrs. Kew remembers. “We hadn’t heard of Suzuki yet.”
As the Depression took root, money became scarce anyway. She would have to wait until age 8 to pick up the violin.
Her mother continued to push the girl toward that instrument, though, playing violin recordings around the house and voicing support once Margaret began her lessons.
“It influenced me because I always loved the violin. I think she’s probably the reason,” she says. “I’ve never been sorry for her choice.”
The next influence came from W.G. Altimari, the band and orchestra director for Atchison’s junior and senior high schools. On his own initiative, he also went into lower grades to promote instrumental music.
“By the time we got to the junior high, seventh grade, we’d been playing in third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades,” Mrs. Kew says. With a shared building and shared director, the gifted musician stepped up to the senior orchestra.
Margaret Davis took her musical aspirations to Drake University in 1943, where five years garnered her a master’s degree. Its ranks thinned by the war, the Des Moines Symphony made a talented freshman its concertmaster, a position she held the next two decades as she joined the Drake music faculty.
When she married Lewis Kew, who like her father worked for Pillsbury, a short-lived commuter marriage began between Atchison and Des Moines.
“That was kind of hard to run back and forth,” she says. “We consolidated at this end of the line.”
Mrs. Kew was 38 when James was born, and his brother Craig came the next year.
Motherhood occupied her, but Benedictine found itself in need of an instructor of string methods. She took a part-time job, which grew to full-time status when the college got an influx of violin students.
“I was afraid I wouldn’t find anything to do in this area,” she recalls. “It’s really funny, but I think I was busier than I was in Des Moines.”
She began her association with the St. Joseph Symphony, a large orchestra that was part-college, part-community and non-paid. The group gave her another creative outlet, a way to indulge in the teamwork that is the finest part of music for her.
“It’s more fun to play with people than play by yourself,” she says.
But she parted ways with the symphony for a time over what she describes as a “coup,” a movement to replace a popular conductor and move the orchestra to a professional status. She announced her resignation from the stage of the Missouri Theater in 1982.
Mrs. Kew stepped forward as half of the violin-cello duet in the “Double Concerto” by Brahms. “Instead of starting to play the piece, I made a speech,” she remembers.
Using her best projection learned in high school drama class, she informed the audience of the clashes going on within the symphony. A person shouted at her from the balcony.
“I can see how somebody might love to get into politics. It’s kind of exhilarating,” she says, adding, “That’s the only time I’m not afraid to speak in public, when I’m angry about something.”
Did she go ahead and play the Brahms?
“Actually, several people said we played it with much more passion,” she says.
Gone from the orchestra several years, she rejoined not long after Deborah Freedman became conductor in 1988. Mrs. Kew auditioned to be assistant concertmaster, then Dr. Freedman moved her up when that person left the orchestra.
Her only other time away from the symphony came after a fall at her home on Sept. 7, 2002, broke 16 of her bones. She toppled down a flight of steps.
“Somehow, instead of stepping on the floor, I stepped on nothing,” says the professor, now fully recovered. “I didn’t even have time to get scared.”
Her chores seem to multiply. Along with her symphony work and instruction at Benedictine, she teaches at the Mount St. Scholastica Conservatory and plays in a string quartet.
A suggestion of retirement gets only a shrug. Her husband, now retired, describes himself as “a one-man support group for a bunch of itinerant musicians.”
Her sons both got the musical aptitude of their mother. James is a professional cellist who also works in the institutional advancement office at Benedictine. Craig plays electric bass for the band Proto Kaw, fronted by Kerry Livgren, founder of the rock group Kansas.
Like her mother before her, Mrs. Kew loaned her influence to their musical education. “It permeated everything in our house,” says James.
Her pleasantly disheveled office on the third floor of Benedictine’s Bishop Fink Hall includes mementos both personal (pictures of her cat Tootles) and professional. In this place, music also permeates. It is both life’s work and life’s love.
“You love it and you’ll do it just about any time, any place,” Mrs. Kew says. “It never grows old.”
