I wish I could have joined you, but school districts just don’t seem to understand the importance of improving international rela- tionships through automatic music. Have a great time and take lots of pho- tos. As you probably have heard from now, Mike Hamann was not able to follow through with assuming the duties of AMICA Treasurer and we are very fortunate that Rob DeLand re-assumed some treasurer duties just as some important deadlines were approaching (the IRS non-profit organiza- tion verification, for example). I have contacted a number of individuals and chapter board representatives and now am asking the general member- ship for a volunteer or suggestions of a person with the time and ability to take on the job. We need to move quickly, as Rob resigned at the last con- vention due to personal and business commitments and those are still around. Rob has put the books in excellent order and it should be very straightforward for someone to take over. The records are on the “Quicken” computer program, so knowledge of that would be an asset. If you have questions about the job, please contact me or Rob. This needs to be resolved very soon or we will be forced to hire a private person to complete the needed tasks. Please think about it and let me know any thoughts you might have to help resolve this problem. On the good news front, the Pacific Can-Am Chapter has been doing a lot of investigative work and should have some news soon about the 2003 convention. Members have been working with Frank Nix and after the chapter’s next meeting, should have an announcement to make. Amicably, Dan Brown ing, if say you are having a musical program or a special tour, is a good way of not only making the public aware of AMICA, but also fulfilling part of our requirements for tax exempt sta- tus. Plus, isn’t it great to have some new faces attending too? Another concern by some who have written or called me is that sometimes there quite plainly is not enough information in the reports to make them interesting or even worthwhile read- ing. I know that writing these reports can be a real chore, but by including the names and dates of the instruments or details of its acquisition and restoration, coupled with good photos will make you look good as a reporter and make the readers happy too! Determining your advance meeting schedules and getting on the AMICA CALENDAR in the Bulletin is a good way of Hi and Happy New Year! letting members know what’s coming, too.

    BildMuseet - pressrelease the politics of place 25/01/2009 20:34 The Politics of Place 10 Feb - 28 April, 2002 BildMuseet, Umeå, Sweden Andreas Gursky Anthony Haughey Nanna H Margareta Klingberg Maria Lantz Walter Niedermayr Torbjørn Rødland Ingrid Pollard Jorma Puranen Allan Sekula Jeff Wall curator: Jan-Erik Lundström Imaging the landscape is a particularly incisive and charged practice within contemporary photographically based art. As a means towards propositions regarding space as a cultural, historical and political variable, defined by human action and imagination, photographs of landscape are instrumental not only as ways of exploring meaning or reflecting collective knowledge, but also as paths towards identity, self-recognition, transformation. This exhibition presents contemporary artists engaged in politically and historically defined notions of space. The artists examine current landscapes and landscape practices. They are equally concerned with the traditions of the landscape genre itself, with visually expressed historical notions of space, as well as with contemporary understanding and values. In their work, space is continually recognized as challenged, contested, complex, commanding and of grand currency. The Politics of Place brings together specific single works and projects. In relation to the powerful position of the landscape genre within European history the selection underlines European territory; the contested history and present of this continent as seen, imagined and perceive through the work of visual artists. A substantial catalogue accompanies the exhibition, featuring comissioned essays by Alessandra Ponte, John Taylor, Sverker Sörlin and an introduction by Jan-Erik Lundström. Separate section featuring essays by Michael T. Bravo, Lena Eskilson, Margareta Klingberg, Maria Lantz, Christer Nordlund, Klas Sandell and Bo Sundin.

    Hess, Myra Irene Scharrer. However, Myra Hess had to wait for her ultimate breakthrough in her English homeland; for this reason, she initially had to earn her living by teaching. Her first major success abroad was her debut in Amster- dam, where she performed Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54 with the Concertgebouw Orchestra un- der Willem Mengelberg in 1912. In 1922 followed her de- but in New York, where she was celebrated with equal en- thusiasm. Her career advanced rapidly from that point onwards, and she rose to the position of one of the most successful pianists in her homeland during the ensuing years. During the 1930s, she undertook extended concert tours throughout all of Europe, including the Scandinavi- an countries, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Tur- key, Yugoslavia, Germany, France and Holland. At the be- ginning of the Second World War, when all of London's concert halls were closed, she founded the legendary "Lunchtime Recitals" at the National Gallery, offering the London public a broad spectrum of high-quality pro- grammes with both young and established musicians. She herself performed at the National Gallery 146 times. The concerts were held without interruption until 10 Ap- Die Pianistin Myra Hess ril 1946.

  • MAHANI TEAVE Concert Pianist  Educator  Environmental Activist
    MAHANI TEAVE concert pianist educator environmental activist ABOUT MAHANI Award-winning pianist and humanitarian Mahani Teave is a pioneering artist who bridges the creative world with education and environmental activism. The only professional classical musician on her native Easter Island, she is an important cultural ambassador to this legendary, cloistered area of Chile. Her debut album, Rapa Nui Odyssey, launched as number one on the Classical Billboard charts and received raves from critics, including BBC Music Magazine, which noted her “natural pianism” and “magnificent artistry.” Believing in the profound, healing power of music, she has performed globally, from the stages of the world’s foremost concert halls on six continents, to hospitals, schools, jails, and low-income areas. Twice distinguished as one of the 100 Women Leaders of Chile, she has performed for its five past presidents and in its Embassy, along with those in Germany, Indonesia, Mexico, China, Japan, Ecuador, Korea, Mexico, and symbolic places including Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, Chile’s Palacio de La Moneda, and Chilean Congress. Her passion for classical music, her local culture, and her Island’s environment, along with an intense commitment to high-quality music education for children, inspired Mahani to set aside her burgeoning career at the age of 30 and return to her Island to found the non-profit organization Toki Rapa Nui with Enrique Icka, creating the first School of Music and the Arts of Easter Island. A self-sustaining ecological wonder, the school offers both classical and traditional Polynesian lessons in various instruments to over 100 children. Toki Rapa Nui offers not only musical, but cultural, social and ecological support for its students and the area.

  • Oltrenota La Fondazione Informa
    OLTRENOTA LA FONDAZIONE INFORMA Fondazione Petruzzelli: presentata la Stagione d’Opera Balletto e Sinfonica 2013 Sarà l’Otello di Giuseppe Verdi, per la regia di Eimuntas Nekrosius e la direzione di Keri-Lynn Wilson, ad inaugurare, il 19 gennaio prossimo, la Stagione 2013 del Teatro Petruzzelli di Bari. La fondazione lirico sinfonica pugliese ha presentato oggi la sua prima stagione integralmente curata del Commissario Straordinario Carlo Fuortes, in carica dal mese di marzo 2012. Presenti anche l’assessore al Mediterraneo della Regione Puglia, Silvia Godelli ed il vice presidente della Provincia di Bari, Nuccio Altieri. Un cartellone ricco di appuntamenti, che nasce dall’incontro fra rispetto della tradizione e grande attenzione allo scambio culturale, nel segno dell’innovazione e del dialogo con realtà consolidate del panorama nazionale ed internazionale. “L’impegno preso nei confronti della città di Bari – ha sottolineato il Prof. Carlo Fuortes – è per noi in primo luogo quello di fare del Petruzzelli un Teatro a misura del proprio pubblico, che ne rispetti le esigenze, le aspirazioni, la passione. Il nostro primo auspicio è riuscire ad accogliere una platea sempre più ampia e di tutte le età, anche grazie ad un incremento delle proposte e delle recite in cartellone: nel 2013 la crescita della nostra produttività sarà pari circa al 50 per cento in più, rispetto agli ultimi anni”. Sei titoli d’opera (di cui cinque nuovi allestimenti), due dedicati alla grande danza, una rassegna di incontri alla scoperta del melodramma e ben dodici appuntamenti sinfonici. Fra i protagonisti della prossima annata del Politeama spiccheranno la nuova formazione orchestrale e corale del Teatro, risultato delle prime selezioni concorsuali realizzate da Fuortes e fortemente volute dal Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, nell’ottica di un primo passo verso la stabilizzazione delle masse artistiche.

  • Review of “22 Chopin Studies” by Leopold Godowsky by OPUS KLASSIEK , Published on 25 February 2013
    Review of “22 Chopin Studies” by Leopold Godowsky by OPUS KLASSIEK , published on 25 February 2013 Leopold Godowsky (Zasliai, Litouwen 1870 - New York 1938) was sailing with the tide around 1900: the artistic and culturally rich turn of the century was a golden age for pianists. They were given plenty of opportunities to expose their pianistic and composing virtuosity (if they didn't demand the opportunities outright), both on concert stages as well as in the many music salons of the wealthy. Think about such giants as Anton Rubinstein, Jan Paderewski, Josef Hoffmann, Theodor Leschetizky, Vladimir Horowitz, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Ferruccio Busoni and Ignaz Friedman. The era of that other great piano virtuoso, Franz Liszt, was actually not even properly past. Liszt, after all, only returned from his last, very successful, but long and exhausting concert tour in the summer of 1886. The tour, through England and France, most likely did him in. (He died shortly afterwards, on the 31st of July 1886, at the age of seventy-four). Leopold Godowsky Godowsky's contemporaries called him the 'Buddha' of the piano, and he left a legacy of more than four hundred compositions, which make it crystal-clear that he knew the piano inside and out. Even more impressive, he shows in his compositions that as far as the technique of playing he had more mastery than his great contemporary Rachmaninoff, which clearly means something! It was by the way the very same Rachmaninoff who saw in Godowsky the only musician that made a lasting contribution to the development of the piano.
