For example, your life insurance can very easily be arranged to provide life-long support for your widow plus a substantial inheritance for your children. In Shawmut' s Personal Trust Department we would be glad to discuss your complete insurance program . with you, your life insurance counsellor and your attorney, or simply write for a copy of our brochure "A Modern Life Insurance Program." Naturally, there would be no obligation. Write or call The Personal Trust Department The ?h(ational Shawmut Bank Tel.

Mr. Burgin has, of course, a triple function at the Boston Symphony concerts. As soloist he has performed concertos by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Glazounoff and Sibelius. In addition to these activities within the symphony concert sphere, Mr. Bur- gin has often played in quartet perform- ances and conducted chamber groups. There is perhaps no member of this Orchestra with quite his degree of self- less musical zeal and tireless energy in pursuing his art. His enthusiasm for music and music before all else is readily imparted to the many young musicians who have worked with him. This applies both to pupils and to the student orches- tras at Tanglewood and the New Eng- land Conservatory, and the Orchestra in Portland, Maine, groups which he has led when his already full schedule has permitted. This adventuring spirit, extending from creative instruction at the student level to creative interpretation at the highest professional level, is rare indeed, and is the good fortune of any musical community.

BALDWIN PIANO RCA VICTOR RECORDS !<>3i [ ] sun savoir-faire — everywhere at Boston • Chestnut Hill 10 1 3* ] CONCERT MUSIC FOR STRING ORCHESTRA AND BRASS INSTRUMENTS, Op. 50 By Paul Hindemith Born in Hanau, near Frankfort, November 16, 1895 The " Konzertmusik fitr Streichorchester und Blechblaser" was composed for the fiftieth anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The first movement of the autograph score, which the Orchestra possesses, is inscribed "Berlin, December, 1930." The second movement, "Andermatt, December 27, 1930." It had its first performance by this Orchestra in the anniversary season, April 3, 1931. There were additional performances February 26, 1932, February 25, 1938, November 15, 1940, and March 22, 1946, when Leonard Bernstein conducted. The composer directs in the score that "the orchestra consist of the strongest possible string quartet, 4 horns, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones and tuba." Hindemith tends to use the string and the brass groups as distinct units, giving the melodic lead to one or the other usually without the doubling of parts between the choirs. The parts for first and second violins are identical, except in a few passages. The first of the two movements divulges several themes, the principal subject, a sustained melody for the brass, being set against a rhythmic theme for the strings. The brass choir by itself then develops a rhythmic subject of its own, and the strings, alone, reiterate their subject. There is no development tempre legato There's a knack to knowledgeable money-management — a way of working out financial problems in a smooth and orderly fashion That way is the Rockland-Atlas way.

Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, an environment for world-class artistic presentation in the Hudson Valley, was designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2003. Risk-taking performances and provocative programs take place in the 800-seat Sosnoff Theater, a proscenium-arch space; and in the 220-seat Theater Two, which features a flexible seating configuration. The Center is home to Bard College’s Theater and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, operetta, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrates its 22nd year in August, with “Sibelius and His World.” The Center bears the name of the late Richard B. Fisher, the former chair of Bard College’s Board of Trustees. This magnificent building is a tribute to his vision and leadership. The outstanding arts events that take place here would not be possible without the contributions made by the Friends of the Fisher Center.

  • THE ART of CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis Submitted In
    GESTURE AS COMMUNICATION: THE ART OF CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney May 2012 Statement of Originality I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed: Carolyn Watson Date: ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the art of orchestral conducting and in particular, the gestural language used by conductors. Aspects such as body posture and movement, eye contact, facial expressions and manual conducting gestures will be considered. These nonverbal forms of expression are the means a conductor uses to communicate with players. Manual conducting gestures are used to show fundamental technical information relating to tempo, dynamics and cues, as well as demonstrating to a degree, musical expression and conveying an interpretation of the musical work. Body posture can communicate authority, leadership, confidence and inspiration. Furthermore, physical gestures such as facial expressions can express a conductor’s mood and demeanour, as well as the emotional content of the music. Orchestral conducting is thus a complex and multifarious art, at the core of which is gesture. These physical facets of conducting will be examined by way of a case study. The conductor chosen as the centrepiece of this study is Austrian conductor, Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004). Hailed by many as the greatest conductor of all time1, Kleiber was a perfectionist with unscrupulously high standards who enjoyed a career with some of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies including the Vienna Philharmonic, La Scala, Covent Garden, the Met and the Chicago Symphony.
