  • Gaines Hall - Sänger - Proscenium Artist's Management
    Gaines Hall - Sänger - Proscenium Artist's Management https://proscenium.at/kuenstler/gaines_hall.php GAINES HALL - Sänger und Coreograph Gaines Hall wurde in Alabama geboren. Schon früh zeigte sich sein tänzerisches Talent in der Tanzschule seiner Mutter. Im Kirchenchor hat er seine Gesangsstimme gefunden und sie reichlich benutzt. Nach seinem High School Abschluss zog er, gerade 17jährig, nach Washington D.C. und hat vier Jahre lang an der American University sein Gesangs-, Tanz- und Schauspielstudium absolviert. Gleichzeitig arbeitete er als Tanzlehrer, Choreograf und Darsteller. Verschiedene Tournee Produktionen führten ihn anschließend durch die USA und Kanada. Nach einem kürzeren Aufenthalt in New York kam er 1992 mit einer Tournee Produktion der originalen Broadway Inszenierung von „42nd Street“ nach Deutschland. Stationen waren München, Frankfurt, Essen, Brüssel, Amsterdam und Berlin. In Berlin bot sich die Chance zu einem Vorsingen am Theater des Westens; die Folge war, dass er für die „UFA Revue“ engagiert wurde. 1993 dachte er noch nach dem dreimonatigen Engagement in Berlin würde er in die Staaten zurückkehren. Aber sein Schicksal und seine Liebe zu Europa hielten ihn hier. Im Theater des Westens - noch in der sogenannten goldenen Zeit von Helmut Baumann - hatte er die Ehre, in vielen weiteren Shows mitzuwirken, zum Beispiel: „My Fair Lady“, „Anything Goes“ mit Helen Schneider und „Blue Jeans“ mit Angelika Milster. Seine ersten Schritte hinaus aus dem Ensemble (allein auf der Bühne, deutsch sprechend) wurden ihm von Herrn Baumann geebnet, und zwar in dessen berühmter Inszenierung des Musicals „La Cage aux Folles- ein Käfig voller Narren“ als Chantal, der Sopranistin, bei der er seine Fähigkeit sehr hoch zu singen unter Beweis stellen durfte.

    2015 –2016 Annual Report Brooklyn College Foundation ANNUAL REPORT 2015/2016 Brooklyn College Foundation 2015 –2016 Annual Report Dear Alumni and Friends, Dear Alumni and Friends, Welcome to the Brooklyn College Foundation’s FY16 Annual Report, covering the period from July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016. This was a year of transition. We wrapped up our $200 million Foundation for Success Campaign, bid farewell to retiring President Karen Gould — who provided Brooklyn College with seven years of exceptional leadership — and welcomed our new president, Michelle Anderson. President Anderson comes to Brooklyn College from her previous position as dean of the CUNY School of Law, where she oversaw a period of great renewal and transformation in facilities, programs, and recognition. We on the foundation board are excited to work with her on our mutual mission to continue to provide affordable access to excellent higher education. This year’s report focuses on the impact of key donor gifts as well as the work of the foundation as we prepare for our next capital campaign. I am exceedingly proud that during FY16, the foundation provided more than $2 million to nearly 1,500 students in the form of scholarships, awards, travel grants, internships, fellowships, and emergency grants; and, for faculty, more than $450,000 in the form of professorships, chairs, travel awards, lectureships, and professional development support. All of us at the foundation are grateful to the more than 5,000 donors who share our steadfast commitment to Brooklyn College, its mission, and its students. Sincerely, Edwin H. Cohen ’62 Chair, Brooklyn College Foundation Brooklyn College Foundation 2 3 Brooklyn College Foundation 2015 –2016 Annual Report Dear Alumni and Friends of Brooklyn College, When he laid the cornerstone for the gymnasium building on our beautiful campus, President Franklin D.

  • Helen Schneider Sängerin Und Schauspielerin Im Gespräch Mit Roland Spiegel Spiegel
    BR-ONLINE | Das Online-Angebot des Bayerischen Rundfunks Sendung vom 26.11.2010, 20.15 Uhr Helen Schneider Sängerin und Schauspielerin im Gespräch mit Roland Spiegel Spiegel: Herzlich willkommen beim alpha-Forum. Ich freue mich, dass wir heute eine Sängerin zu Gast haben, die zu den aufregendsten gehört, die ich je gehört habe: Helen Schneider. Und sie singt auch gleich ein Stück für Sie. (Helen Schneider singt den Song "L.O.V.E.") Spiegel: "L.O.V.E.", ein Lied über vier magische Buchstaben, die zusammen das Wort "Liebe" ergeben: Helen Schneider und Jo Ambros. Schneider: High, Roland. Spiegel: Herzlich willkommen. Schneider: Danke, ich freue mich. Spiegel: Helen Schneider, es ist sehr ungewöhnlich, dich in diesem ganz intimen Rahmen mit nur einer akustischen Gitarre als Begleitung zu hören: a voice and a guitar. Das ist ein Lied von Bert Kaempfert, einem deutschen Komponisten und Arrangeur, der auch ganz andere Klänge, nämlich orchestrale Klänge geliebt hat. Schneider: Ja, das stimmt. Ich singe seit über acht Jahren zusammen mit einem Trio, mit Jo Ambros an der Gitarre, mit Mini Schulz am Kontrabass und Obi Jenne am Schlagzeug. Wenn man so etwas Intimes wie diese Sendung hier macht, dann dachten wir uns, es wäre doch ganz passend, das nur mit Gitarre und Stimme zu machen. Spiegel: Ja, ich finde das ganz wunderbar – und wir hätten auch schlecht eine Big Band hier in dieses Studio stellen können. Was ist denn für dich der Unterschied, wenn du in dieser Zweierkombination oder mit dem Trio auftrittst oder wenn du dasselbe Lied mit einer Big Band singst? Ist das dann ein ganz anderes Lied? Schneider: Das ist eine interessante Frage, denn in diesem Fall ist das überhaupt nicht so.

  • 2019–2020 Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019–20 Dear Friends, This annual report was finalized in a world that was unthinkable when the year began. Even though such a report typically looks back, this unprecedented moment calls for looking forward. The Museum is now an all-digital, all-the-time enterprise, for how long we do not know. But that alone is not enough. This is a time for learning and growing. Our digital education resources and virtual trainings and programs must serve our many diverse partners and audiences—teachers, faculty, students, leaders, and the general public. But, we have learned that in digital education, quantity is not quality, and that virtual education is much more complex than we imagined. Demand for our online resources and teaching support has soared, and we are experimenting and reimagining our work for this new world. Our role has always been to help build and lead the fields of Holocaust scholarship and education as well as genocide prevention. Now these fields face challenges and opportunities as never before. Thanks to your ongoing generosity, the Museum is well positioned to learn from this crisis and grow into an even stronger, more impactful institution, whose educational message is more urgent than ever. Thank you, Howard M. Lorber, Chairman Allan M. Holt, Vice Chairman Sara J. Bloomfield, Director FOUNDERS SOCIETY Gifts as of August 7, 2020 The Museum is deeply grateful to our leading donors, whose cumulative gifts of $1 million or more make our far-reaching impact possible.

    Vom 15. bis 19. Juli 2010 wird Berlins schönster Platz, der Gendarmenmarkt, wieder zur phantastischen Kulisse für das Classic Open Air-Festival. Zum 19. Mal unterhalten und begeistern internationale Solisten, Orchester und Tänzer die Musikfreunde aus dem In- und Ausland. In der First Night, so der Titel des alljährlichen Eröffnungskonzerts, erklingt Populäres aus Oper, Operette und Orchesterwerken. Internationale Gesangs- und Instrumentalsolisten sowie die Anhaltische Philharmonie Dessau gestalten diesen Abend. Dass es dabei auch „pfiffig“ zugeht, dafür sorgt der Weltmeister im Kunstpfeifen, der Niederländer Geert Chatrou, der auf der ganzen Welt mit Standing Ovations gefeiert wird. Amüsanter und bewährter Gastgeber ist Herbert Feuerstein. Ein Feuerwerk verleiht dem Konzert wieder das glänzende Finale. Im Mittelpunkt des zweiten Abends, der den Meisterwerken der bedeutenden italienischen Opernkomponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts, Verdi, Puccini und Rossini, gewidmet ist, steht die sizilianische Primadonna Lucia Aliberti, eine der ganz großen Sopranistinnen unserer Zeit. In ihrem Konzert stellt sie die Entdeckung der Rheinsberger Kammeroper vor, den jungen, exzellenten isländischen Tenor Egill Palsson. Es spielt das Brandenburgische Staatsorchester Frankfurt unter der Leitung seines Chefdirigenten Howard Griffiths. Das Konzert am 17. Juli ist eine Huldigung an den berühmten russischen Komponisten Peter Iljitsch Tschaikowsky. Internationale Solisten und Preisträger der Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg, Chöre und Ballett, begleitet von der Anhaltischen Philharmonie Dessau, interpretieren eine Auswahl aus dem Fundus seiner unvergesslichen Werke und garantieren für einen erstklassigen Abend. Ein Höhepunkt wird das Live-Zusammenspiel der Anhaltischen Philharmonie Dessau und dem „Carillon“ (großes Glockenspiel) im Turm des Französischen Doms, so wie es Tschaikowsky in der Partitur seiner berühmten Ouvertüre 1812 op.49 vorsah. „Let it Swing!“, der legendäre Zuruf Glenn Millers an seine Band steht als Leitmotiv für die große Berliner Swing-Nacht am 18.
