THE SOUND of MUSIC Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles
experienceL.A. THE SOUND OF MUSIC Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles THE SOUND OF MUSIC The Sound of Music is a stage and film musical based on The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, the memoir of Maria von Trapp. The story takes place in Austria at the brink of World War II. Maria, a plucky nun turned governess, is charged with caring for the seven children of a military captain. Maria’s delightful teaching of music to the children leads to their becoming a celebrated touring act, the innocence of which is shattered as the realities of Nazi rule become inescapable. Notably, many details of the von Trapp family story were changed to increase the dramatic impact of the musical version. Inspired by a pair of German films about the von Trapps from the mid-1950s, the stage version of The Sound of Music premiered on Broadway in 1959. The production won multiple Tony Awards, and the show has been revived many times since, including a renowned 1998 Broadway revival. The 1965 film version starring Julie Andrews won five Academy Awards and is still beloved today by viewers around the world. Written by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the songs of The Sound of Music—including “My Favorite Things,” “Do, Re, Mi,” “Edelweiss,” and the title song—have been celebrated for more than half a century. RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN Composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein were one of the most prolific, successful songwriting teams in the history of musical theatre. The pair’s first collaboration, Oklahoma! (1943), marked the start of a new theatrical genre: the musical play, which combined elements of musical comedy, operetta, and drama.

LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC Short History
LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC Short History The Los Angeles Philharmonic is defining the concept of a “21 st century orchestra” with innovation and exuberance under the dynamic leadership of Esa-Pekka Salonen, music director since 1992 and a distinguished composer in his own right. Now in its 88th season, the Philharmonic is recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras, and is received enthusiastically by audiences and critics alike. Both at home and abroad, journalists agree that,”…in 2006, [it] tops the list of America’s premier orchestras and serves as a lesson in how to update an august cultural institution without cheapening its work.” (The New York Times) This view is shared by more than one million listeners who experience live performances by the Philharmonic each year. The Philharmonic demonstrates a breadth and depth of programming unrivaled by other orchestras and cultural institutions, performing or presenting nearly 300 concerts throughout the year at its two iconic venues: Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, a popular summer tradition since 1922. The orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles also extends far beyond regular symphony concerts in a concert hall, embracing schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a vastly diverse community. The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded by William Andrews Clark, Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur musician, who established the city’s first permanent symphony orchestra in 1919. Walter Henry Rothwell became its first music director, serving until 1927 and, since then, nine renowned conductors have served in that capacity: Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-29); Artur Rodzinski (1929-33); Otto Klemperer (1933-39); Alfred Wallenstein (1943-56); Eduard van Beinum (1956-59); Zubin Mehta (1962-78); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978- 84); André Previn (1985-89); and, since the 1992-93 season, Esa-Pekka Salonen.

THE CENTER & CLARK NEWSLETTER UCLA CENTER FOR 17TH- & 18TH-CENTURY STUDIES WILLIAM ANDREWS CLARK MEMORIAL LIBRARY Number 57 S PRING 2013 Librarian’s Column Gerald W. Cloud, Clark Librarian The first half of 2012–13 at the Clark has seen exceptional activity in acquisitions, exhibitions, public lectures, and a successful new internship program. The opportunity to contribute, participate, and observe these activities makes my role at the Clark a great pleasure, and it is with no little satisfaction that I can report what follows. In the acquisitions department, the Clark continues to collect printed books and manuscript material that document the culture, history, and literature of Great Britain and the Continent. Among the most interesting of our new acquisitions are John Cary’s Survey of the High Roads from London to Hampton Court, Bagshot, Oakingham, Binfield... (London, 1790), an excellent copy of the only edition of a rare guide to the roads, inns and turnpikes in and around London. The survey contains eighty engraved colored maps for which the author has paid close attention to “marking the Gentlemen’s Seats, explaining the trusts of the different turnpike Gates, adding the number of Inns to each separate route, with other occurring matters which will be found on the face of the work.” Cary and his firm were the leading mapmakers of their day, a status earned no doubt by the precise and elegant engravings that comprise our volume. Arthur Hort’s “Materials for an Essay on Painting” (circa 1750s) is an unpublished commonplace book that serves as a guide to the arts by a working artist and teacher in the mid-eighteenth century.
