An orchestra is a group of musicians that play together on various instruments. In a symphony orchestra the instruments are divided into families: woodwind, brass, percussion and string. The word ‘symphony’ comes from a Greek word meaning ‘sounding together’. The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra Established in 1948 and declared a Tasmanian Icon in 1998, the TSO gives more than 70 concerts annually including seasons in Hobart and Launceston, and appearances in Tasmanian regional centres. In addition to its core activity of giving subscription concerts, the TSO endeavours to broaden its imprint by forging links with other arts organisations. Recent partnerships have included collaborations with the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), the Australian Ballet, the Australian National Academy of Music, Terrapin Puppet Theatre, Festival of Voices and Kickstart Arts. Julia Lezhneva with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, a collaboration with Hobart Baroque, was awarded Best Individual Classical Performance at the 2014 Helpmann Awards. Over the years, international touring has taken the orchestra to North and South America, Greece, Israel, South Korea, China, Indonesia and Japan. Resident in Hobart’s purpose-built Federation Concert Hall, the TSO has a full complement of 47 musicians. Marko Letonja is the orchestra’s Chief Conductor and Artistic Director. 2 FOR THIS PERFORMANCE THE INSTRUMENTATION OF THE TASMANIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WILL CONSIST OF: 2 Flutes 2 Oboes 2 Clarinets 2 Bassoons 4 French Horns 2 Trumpets 2 Trombones 1 Bass Trombone Timpani Percussion 8 - 1st Violins 6 - 2nd Violins 5 Violas 4 Cellos 3 Double Basses The musicians will be wearing coloured shirts to help students identify the four sections of the orchestra.

Marc Taddei Celebrated for his “magnificent contribution as Music Director” by The Press, and lauded as “a real interpreter of boldly romantic inclinations” by the Dominion Post, conductor Marc Taddei was appointed Music Director of Orchestra Wellington in 2007 and Music Director of the Vallejo Symphony Orchestra in 2016. Marc frequently conducts every professional orchestra in New Zealand, often working with the national ballet and opera companies and adding to his extensive discography. He is a regular guest conductor in Australia. Two years ago he made his mainland China debut, and last year he debuted with the Hong Kong Philharmonic. See www.marctaddei.com He now divides his time between Auckland, Wellington and San Francisco, when not on the road to other destinations in the US, Australia and Asia. Allison Farrow Allison has enjoyed a successful and varied career in the performing arts – as a singer, actress and more recently as a producer and director. She has worked in many fields including music theatre, opera, cabaret, drama, film and concert work and has made several recordings. She has performed throughout Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia and has been involved in festivals worldwide. In recent times Allison has been enjoying entertaining children and their families, providing the voice for ‘Betty Bug’ in Blue Rocket’s animated television series Buzz Bumble and narrating Roald Dahl and Paul Patterson’s quirky retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. In 2015 she narrated Maximus Musicus Visits the Orchestra with the TSO for their Family Classics series. Allison performs regularly with her jazz quintet Allison Farrow & Friends. 8 Emma McGrath TSO Concertmaster Heralded as a “First-magnitude star in the making” by the Seattle Times, British violinist Emma McGrath made her London debut aged 10 in the Purcell Room and at 14 she performed Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1, in the Queen Elizabeth Hall with the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Howard Shelley, broadcast live on Classic FM. She has since performed with numerous professional ensembles and orchestras, and has played in France, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Brunei, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Russia, Israel, the UK and the USA as a soloist. Emma graduated with a BMus (Hons) First Class from the Royal College of Music where she was a Foundation Scholar and Concertmaster of every ensemble and orchestra. She studied violin with Ani Schnarch and singing with Margaret Cable. Emma has also received awards from the Martin Musical Scholarship Fund, the Edmund Castle Trust, the Musicians Benevolent Fund, the Tillett Trust and the Countess of Munster Musical Trust. Emma completed her MMus and Artist Diploma in America at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, studying with Andrés Cardenés. Emma comes to Tasmania from the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and Seattle Opera Orchestra where she was Associate Concertmaster from 2009. In her pre-Seattle career, Emma was Assistant Concertmaster of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, and has also performed with the Pittsburgh and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, and toured Australia and Japan with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. Emma and family arrived in Tasmania in early March and she went straight into rehearsals for the first Hobart Master Series concert for the year, From Fair Verona with Love. 9 A LITTLE OF THE HISTORY BEHIND THE STORY OF “THE AMAZING TALE OF GIBSON” The narration that you will hear during the performance of The Amazing Tale of Gibson was written by Jenny Compton and is loosely based on the history of the Gibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius. The following links provide more information: Orchestra of Exiles http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1906443/ - This is a documentary about Huberman who owned the Gibson Stradivarius and Jenny makes reference to Huberman playing for Brahms when Huberman was a boy and also the famous night when the Gibson Stradivarius was stolen. The Gibson Stradivarius is now owned by Joshua Bell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Stradivarius - a concise history of the Gibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius https://rhapsodyinwords.com/2015/08/24/the-astonishing-300-year-history-of-the-gibson-ex- huberman-stradivarius/ - this is an in-depth look at the 300 year history of the Gibson ex- Huberman Stradivarius https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5aLHuk0PUU Joshua Bell the renowned concert violinist has owned his pride and joy, a Stradivarius violin for over a decade, it is over 300 years old. The story of the theft, return, and subsequent acquisition by Bell is told in the 2013 documentary The Return of the Violin, directed by Haim Hecht. Bell's first recording made with the Gibson ex Huberman was Romance of the Violin (for Sony Classical Records) in 2003. A FURTHER LINK TO JOSHUA BELL AND HIS VIOLIN … SO WHAT’S GIBSON DOING NOW? In a 2007, violinist Joshua Bell went busking in an experiment to see if the public would recognise one of the finest talents in the classical world. It did not work out like that. http://www.classicfm.com/artists/joshua-bell/guides/busking-subway/#f3SIwmaVeQdq5xPV.97 In September, 2013 The Man With the Violin by Kathy Stinson illustrated by Dušan Petričić from Annick Press was published. It tells the story of the Washington Press’s experiment where they asked Joshua Bell to play in the subway incognito. This link provides https://vimeo.com/65555503 information about the book.

  • Neg(Oti)Ating Fusion: Steely Dan's Generic Irony by Ethan Krajewski A
    Neg(oti)ating Fusion: Steely Dan’s Generic Irony by Ethan Krajewski A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2018 © 2018 Ethan Patrick Krajewski To my parents for music and language Acknowledgements My biggest thanks go to my advisor, Professor Julian Levinson, as a teacher, mentor, and friend, for helping me think, talk, write, and (most importantly, I think) laugh about seventies rock music. You’ve helped make this project fun in all of its rigor and relaxed despite all of the stress that it’s caused. I’d also like to thank Professor Gillian White for leading our cohort toward discipline, and for keeping us all grounded. Also for her spirited conversations and anecdotes, which proved invaluable in the early stages of my thinking. I wouldn’t be here writing this if it weren’t for Professor Supriya Nair, who pushed me to apply for the program and helped me develop the intellectual curiosity that led to this project. The same goes for Gina Brandolino, who I count among my most important teachers and role models. To the cohort: thank you for all of your help over the course of the year. You’re all so smart, and so kind, and I wish you all nothing but the best. To Ashley: if you aren’t the best non-professional line editor at large in the world, then you’re at least second or third. I mean it sincerely when I say that this project would be infinitely worse without your guidance.

  • I'm an English Teacher,A Singer-Songwriter, Freelance Journalist, Andmusician
    I'm an English teacher,a singer-songwriter, freelance journalist, andmusician. I worked in radio and community radio as a deejay in the 1970s and later, cable television - public access, and CNN, when it began. I've begun looking for a publishers and artists for my songs. I recently moved to nashville as a step in getting serious about it!I also co-founded a non-profit in Georgia, the Chattahoochee Folk Music Society and worked there to promote local musicians. There's a singer-songwriter show on the WLPN? the local PBS radio affliate, once a week, plus some syndicated shows there. I hear "Progressive rock" which includes some Americana, on Lightning 100 FM; LIghtning also broadcasts live music from clubs a couple of times a week. I hear live broadcasts of the Grand Old Opry which is national talent but many are "local" to where I libve, Nashville, on WSM AM. In the town I moved from, Columbus, Georgia, we had a choice of classic rock and roll, done-to-death, or pop or mainstream country. Totally Homogenized music. I rarely listened. I feel there's a lot of room for other styles of music over the air; I fear that stations are "paid to play" and no matter how good a song is, it won't receive airplay without major money pushes, even if it arrives at a station and deejays and community like it; I fear the monopolization of the airwaves. I think nashville is lucky to have the few offerings on the air of local music that it does have; but things could be even better.

  • Get the Facts: Pandora Buys Fm Radio Station in A
    GET THE FACTS: PANDORA BUYS FM RADIO STATION IN A BID TO UNDERCUT SONGWRITERS Pandora recently purchased radio station KXMZ-FM in Rapid City, South Dakota, in a bid to lower the licensing fees it pays songwriters and composers for public performances of their work. Pandora says this will help music creators and listeners, but the facts tell a much different story. SONGWRITERS DRIVE HUGE REVENUES FOR PANDORA • Pandora, a Wall Street-traded company, reported revenues of more than $920 million in FY2014 alone.1 • In contrast, ASCAP is a membership organization that operates on a not-for-profit basis to collect and distribute royalties to the more than 525,000 independent songwriters, composers and music publishers it represents.2 • Every 1,000 plays of a song on Pandora is worth about 9 cents in performance rights for its songwriters, composers and publishers ($0.00009 per stream). 3 • To put that in context, Miranda Lambert’s hit song “The House that Built Me” was streamed on Pandora nearly 22 million times, earning its songwriters and publishers roughly $1,788.48. Co-writer Allen Shamblin received only $894.14. Lady Antebellum’s 2011 Grammy-winning Song of the Year “Need You Now” was streamed nearly 72 million times on Pandora, earning its four songwriters and publishers $5,918.28. Co-writer Josh Kear received only $1,479.57. 4 • In 2014, Pandora paid all songwriters only about $36 million in total royalties, representing a mere 4% of the company’s revenue.5 PANDORA USES MORE MUSIC THAN TRADITIONAL RADIO • Internet radio and traditional AM/FM radio use music and generate revenue in very different ways.
