Sponsored by the American Viola Society and Brieham Youne University, the congress was held in t.he Frenklln S, Harris Fine Arts Center--& superb ccmplex that offered first-class concert halls, lecture roous, and exhibition galleries. Two celebrations, important to violists, took place durine the congress. The first was an anticipatory musics1 and biographical celebration of the 100th birthday of Ernest Bloch (born 1880), manifested by performances of all his worke for viola and a talk on his life and music by Suzanne Bloch, his dsuehter. The second was the 75th birthday of William Primrose. The viclists heard during the three days represented a stunning and consi~tentlyhigh level of performance--so~ethM that has become more and more the norm for viola playing today and synonymous with American strine playing in eeneral. Dr. David Dalton, the hoet chairperson of the congress and a mezber of BYU's ffiusic faculty, did an outstanding Job of oreanizinfr and oversaeing the congress, aided by the university 'a Music Department faculty and staff.

A LONG ROAD HOME The Life and Times of Grisha Sklovsky 1915-1995 by John Nicholson This book is dedicated to the memory of Chaja, also known as Anna Sklovsky, who placed her trust in justice and the rule of law and was betrayed by justice and the rule of law in a gas-chamber at Auschwitz. 2 CONTENTS Preface Introduction Chapter One Siberia Chapter Two Berlin Chapter Three Lyon Chapter Four The Czech Brigade Chapter Five England Chapter Six Waiting Chapter Seven Invasion Chapter Eight From Greece to Paris to America Chapter Nine Melbourne Chapter Ten Family, Friends and Europe Chapter Eleven Battlegrounds and the Antarctic Chapter Twelve New Directions and Multiculturalism Chapter Thirteen SBS Television Chapter Fourteen Of Camberwell and other battles Chapter Fifteen Moscow Chapter Sixteen Last Days Epilogue Notes Index 3 Introduction In the early years of the twentieth century, when the word pogrom [Russian: devastation] had entered the world‟s vocabulary, many members of a Russian Jewish family named Sklovsky were leaving their long-time homes within the Pale of Settlement.1 They were compelled to leave because, after the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881, experiments in half-hearted liberalism were abandoned and throughout the regimes of Alexander III [1881-1894] and Nicholas II [1894-1917] the Jews of Russia were subjected to endless persecution. As a result of the partitions of Poland in the eighteenth century more than a million Jews had found themselves within the Russian empire but permitted to live only within the Pale, the boundaries of which were determined in 1812. -
Schubert's Flights of Fantasie
Kristian Chong & Friends Schubert’s Flights of Fantasie LOCAL Monday, 2 May 2016 6pm, Salon HEROES Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre and Kristian Chong & Friends ARTISTS Sophie Rowell, violin Kristian Chong, piano PROGRAM WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Sonata for Piano and Violin in B-flat, K.454 I Largo - Allegro II Andante III Rondo: Allegretto ANDREW SCHULTZ Night Flight (2003) FRANZ SCHUBERT Fantasie for Piano and Violin in C, D.934 Andante molto–Allegretto–Andantino–Tempo I–Allegro vivace–Allegretto–Presto ABOUT THE MUSIC As was customary at the time, Mozart termed his early examples “sonatas for piano with violin ad libitum” but not the later Sonata K454, which he characterised as a “sonata for piano with violin accompaniment”. Yet this is a true chamber partnership, with K454 demanding a violinist of consummate skill. The opening commences with a stately Largo; it quickly retreats into a tender statement before launching into a swift Allegro with many conversational imitations and parallel lines. An Andante follows in which Mozart achieves a masterly blend of cantabile and beauty. A minor episode darkens the mood while maintaining enchanting lyricism. The concluding movement opens with a statement first spoken by the violin, with intervening episodes sandwiched between reprises of the theme giving opportunities to express Mozart’s penchant for unexpected and delectable melodic twists and turns. Night Flight was originally written as the fourth movement from a sextet called Mephisto in 1990. Ukranian violinist Dmitri Tkachenko commissioned this transcription and debuted it with Kristian Chong in London in 2003. The piece is a danse macabre for the modern age. -
