So many young people learn to play the trumpet and discover the pleasure of performing as a part of bands or ensembles. The guest artists for our series of concerts that feature the trumpet show us the brilliance and extraordinary beauty of this instrument in classical, jazz and pops concerts. If there is a brass player in your family, you will want to make sure that they are able to participate in some of the educational opportunities that surround this series of concerts. The month of December is always an opportunity to add meaning, beauty, entertainment, and inspiration to your holiday celebrations.This December join the WSO in the family classics The Snowman & The Bear, or treat yourself to an evening of high quality fun with Rainer Hersch. December is also a month for the classic inspiration of Handel’s Messiah, the holiday cheer of the Prairie Christmas Celebration, and the zany holiday capers of the film Home Alone with the wonderful score by John Williams, who also wrote the score for Star Wars. The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra provides wonderful services for our community through high quality concerts of classical, pops, and family programs, through engaging education programs, through public celebratory concerts in the summer months that enliven our public spaces and help us enjoy those short summer months.The WSO depends on ticket sales and charitable donations to continue to create musical events in our city. As you consider your year-end charitable donations, I would ask you to consider a generous gift to the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. You may want to support a specific program such as the Share the Music Program, which provides concert tickets to organizations and individuals to attend concert experiences for those who do not have the financial resources to purchase tickets. You may wish to donate to our Sistema Winnipeg program or support the Winnipeg New Music Festival. You can be assured that your donation will be well used by the WSO, and that you will receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value of the gift. On behalf of the board, staff, and musicians of Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. Timothy E. Burt, CFA President and Chair of the Board Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra November – December 2015 I OVERTURE 3 CONDUCTORS Alexander Mickelthwate, Music Director German conductor Alexander Mickelthwate is renowned for his “splendid, richly idiomatic readings” (LA Weekly),“fearless” approach and “first-rate technique” (Los Angeles Times). Critics have noted Alexander’s extraordinary command over the Austro-Germanic repertoire, commenting on the “passion, profundity, emotional intensity, subtlety and degree of perfection achieved” in Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 as “miraculous” (Anton Kuerti, 2011). Following on from his tenure as assistant conductor with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which he completed in 2004, Alexander Mickelthwate was associate conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for three years, under the direction of Essa-Pekka Salonen. Now in his tenth season as music director of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Alexander has significantly developed the orchestra’s profile through active community engagement and innovative programming initiatives like the annual New Music Festival and the Indigenous Music Festival. Chosen to perform at the Carnegie Hall Spring For Music Festival in New York, May 2014, due to “creative and innovative programming” (CBC Manitoba Scene), the orchestra was the only Canadian ensemble in the showcase. As well as significantly contributing to the New Music Festival and Indigenous Festival, Alexander led the orchestra’s first out of province tour since 1979 to the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, launched the International Conducting masterclasses, the New Music Festival 2012 film project and played a major part in the acoustic overhaul of the Centennial Concert Hall. Photographer: Grajewski Fotograph Inc. Julian Pellicano, Resident Conductor Julian Pellicano’s voracious musical appetite makes him a formidable interpreter of the symphonic repertoire. He is currently resident conductor of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Artist-in-Residence at the Norfolk Chamber Music festival, and music director of the University of Manitoba Symphony Orchestra. Pellicano has built his career by following an unconventional path.The creation, with Dr. Paul Lehrman, of a new performance edition of George Antheil's Ballet Mecanique first brought Pellicano to the public’s attention. From 2009 to 2013 he served as music director of the Longy School of Music Conservatory Orchestra where he established a rigorous and distinctive new orchestral program. Pellicano has conducted the Orquestra Sinfonica de Porto Alegre (Brazil), Hartford Symphony Orchestra, Eastern Connecticut Symphony, New Britain Symphony, The Kallisti Ensemble, Boston’s Dinosaur Annex Ensemble and Milwaukee's Present Music. He has worked in masterclasses with Kurt Masur, Peter Eötvös, Zsolt Nagy, Martyn Brabbins, and Carl St. Clair. As a young musician he played drums, percussion, organ, and accordion in rock, blues and jazz groups. An autodidact, he was accepted to the Peabody Conservatory as a percussionist without any formal training. He holds degrees from the Peabody Conservatory, the Royal College of Music (Stockholm), and the Yale School of Music where he was awarded the 2008 Presser Music Award and the Philip F.Nelson Award. He premiered Martin Bresnick’s critically acclaimed opera My Friend's Story at the International Festival of Arts and Ideas and conducted at Carnegie Hall with the Yale Philharmonia Orchestra.

    The Quest for Lillian Alling: Two authors contributions. Outdoors-Magazine.com http://outdoors-magazine.com The Quest for Lillian Alling: Two authors contributions. Schwert - Skills and guides - Library - Publication: Thursday 24 March 2005 Description : 78 years after Lillian Alling began her journey home; questions and the mystery still remain. Calvin Rutstrum first introduced me to this remarkable women's walk across the US and Canada, and recently Cassandra Pybus has attempted to fill in some of the details. Copyright (c) Outdoors-Magazine.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike License Copyright © Outdoors-Magazine.com Page 1/8 The Quest for Lillian Alling: Two authors contributions. Introductory paragraphs found in Calvin Rutstrum's wilderness how-to manuals (Way of the Wilderness and New Way of the Wilderness) were always interesting to me, but would have slipped by essentially unnoticed, except for his reiteration of Lillian's story in his 1980 Hiking Back to Health. Calvin retells the story again to illustrate what a person can do if willing and determined, but this time expands this into a complete chapter; fills in some additional details and included a photograph of her and her dog. He also reveals that he had attempted over the years to determine her fate after she presumably left Alaska. Cassandra Pybus, in The Women Who Walked to Russia: A Writer's Search for a Lost Legend, combines her attempts to uncover the mystery and motivation of Lillian Alling's 1927-1929 walk across the United States and Canada, with her road trip through British Columbia following Alling's route north.

Ein Road Movie, quer durch die USA, hinein in die Kälte Alaskas. Die Chronik eines langsamen Verschwindens. Director‘s Statement | english The starting point for our film and our journey was the story of a Russian woman living in New York City, who one day set out to walk back to her homeland. It was only by accident that she was discovered by workmen in the Canadian boreal forest. Despite their warnings, she pursued her march alone toward the Bering Strait. Her name was Lillian Alling, the year was 1927. To this day she is still considered missing. Her determination fascinated me and the idea for LILLIAN has followed me for 15 years. The deafening metropolis of New York, a rustling cornfield somewhere in the Midwest and a lonely beach on the Bering Strait … If you connect these three places with a line, you obtain Lillian’s approximate route.

  • PYBUS.Pdf (227.9Kb)
    Cassandra Pybus. Raven Road. UQP, 2001. Review by Gillian Dooley for Writers’ Radio, Radio Adelaide Broadcast on 3 December 2001 Cassandra Pybus prefaces her book Raven Road with a quote from Tim Flannery: ‘Ravens are, it seems, one of Australia’s few successful animal exports.’ They began in Australia millions of years ago, he says, and made their way via Eurasia into North America and beyond. Pybus uses this widely- travelled bird to symbolise her own quixotic journey in pursuit of the true story of a woman who had travelled alone across northwestern Canada and Alaska seventy years before. The centrality of the raven to indigenous creation myths also adds another dimension to what is more than just a travel book. Lillian Alling was a Polish or Russian immigrant to North America during the 1920s. She appeared in the remote, rugged terrain of British Columbia in September 1927, and although her English was bad, she was understood to say that she was walking to Siberia. Pybus first came across Lillian’s story when browsing in a bookshop on an earlier visit to Canada. She sought out other accounts of Lillian’s trek, the historian in her doubting while the storyteller wanted to believe. Raven Road is the record of her slow, frustrating and ultimately inconclusive search for information about Lillian’s fate, and the real reason for her foolhardy, super-human undertaking – walking through unforgiving country which had defeated countless others. On the way Pybus tells the stories of some of the victims of this inhospitable wilderness – some on a quest for the North West Passage, some in search of gold; others, later on, seeking enlightenment and fulfillment in a wilderness Archived at Flinders University: dspace.flinders.edu.au This is the author's radio script.

  • PDF ^ Lillian Alling
    Lillian Alling: The Journey Home // eBook « NNHOYBBA45 Lillian Alling: The Journey Home By Susan Smith-Josephy Caitlin Press. Paperback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Lillian Alling: The Journey Home, Susan Smith-Josephy, In 1926, Lillian Alling, a European immigrant, set out on a journey home from New York. She had little money and no transportation, but plenty of determination. In the three years that followed, Alling walked all the way to Dawson City, Yukon, crossing the North American continent on foot. She walked across the Canadian landscape, weathering the baking sun and freezing winter, crossed the rugged Rocky Mountains and hiked the untested wilderness of British Columbia and the Yukon. Finally, on a make-shift raft, she sailed alone down the Yukon River from Dawson City all the way to the Bering Sea. Lillian Alling is a legend. She has been the subject of novels, plays, epic poems, an opera and more tall tales than can be remembered. Her life has been subjected to speculation, fiction and exaggeration. But as legendary as she may be, the true story of Lillian Alling has never been told. "The Mystery Woman", as she came to be known, is as intriguing to us now as she was to those she met on her trek. Lillian's name lives on in the folk tales... READ ONLINE [ 7.58 MB ] Reviews It is not diicult in go through easier to understand. It normally fails to price too much.

  • Canada's NEXT
    1 Canada’s NEXT Classical:NEXT Opening Gala Proposal May 20, 2015, Rotterdam TABLE OF CONTENTS Ceremony design concept……………………………………………………………………. 2 Artist, composer, speaker bios……………………………………………………………… 4 Proposed stage manager……………………………………………………………………… 7 Financing / funding source……………………………………………………………………. 8 Appendix 1: Production/Stage Manager detailed CV…………………………….. 8 Appendix 2: Video Production Company ……………………………………………… 10 Appendix 3: Video Montage Content Ideas………………………………………….. 11 Canada’s Next | Classical:NEXT Opening Gala Proposal Submitted 21.11.2014 2 CEREMONY DESIGN CONCEPT This proposed program for the Classical:NEXT opening night is designed to show that Canada is ideally and uniquely positioned to provide a delightful, dynamic and potentially shocking take on what’s “next” in classical and contemporary music. Musical selections and proposed artists are intended to reflect what Canadian classical music is today with representation from the current generation which is innovative and bold. Suggested artists come from a wide range of culturally and linguistically diverse communities, aboriginal origins and are geographically representative of Canada. The design concept for the evening focuses on a theme of “possibility.” What is possible for Canadian artists within the country and abroad? How can we challenge what is possible musically? The evening will have a seamless flow and be tightly produced. The program will move from artists to speakers connected through a high quality video montage that will showcase cultural elements not easily presented in the conference format. This will allow for the contrast of larger scale ensembles and projects with the smaller more intimate solo and chamber works that will be live during the event. Starting off with the Polaris Prize-winning Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq from a blacked-out theatre will immediately set the tone of surprise for the evening.

Eine ungewhnliche Lebensgeschichte.Von M. W. BroscheitDieses Buch ist eine echte, eher wissenschaftliche Biografie ber eine ungewhnliche Frau.Diese Lillian Alling, deren Geschichte in Kanada relativ bekannt ist, war mir bis vor Kurzem noch nie untergekommen, obwohl ich mich schon seit langem fr Geschichte allgemein und Kanada/Alaska im besonderen interessiere. In einem Buch ber den Alaska Highway und dessen Vorgeschichte tauchte dieser Name dann zum ersten Mal auf.Eine aus Osteuropa eingewanderte Frau, die Ende der 20ger Jahre des vorherigen Jahrhunderts aus nur zu spekulierenden Grnden beschliet in ihre alte Heimat zurckzukehren. Von dieser Vorgeschichte ist wenig bekannt, nur das sie kaum Geld hatte und den Entschluss fasste dies von New York zu Fu ber Kanada, Alaska und Sibirien zu versuchen.Auf der Seite der Autorin dieser Biografie kann man lesen:"Lillian Alling is a legend. She has been the subject of novels, plays, epic poems, an opera and more tall tales than can be remembered. Her life has been subjected to speculation, fiction and exaggeration.
