She continued to win awards while in college, culminating with the Stanley Medal, the School of Music's highest honor. After receiving her bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees at The University of Michigan, studying with pianist Gyorgy Sandor, Miss Nissman made her Ann Arbor professional debut at the 1971 May Festival as the "Alumni Night" featured soloist . with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Subsequently, Eugene Ormandy invited her to perform with them again the following season, and from this beginning grew her successes in the United States. Miss Nissman enjoys success on both sides of the Atlantic. In America, her consistent repeat engagements with Stanislaw Skrowaczewski and the Minnesota Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops, and Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra attest to her artistry. She has worked with Italian conductor Riccardo Muti and tours regularly with orchestras throughout England, Holland, Germany, and Scandinavia.

Fifth Concert Ninety-fifth Annual Choral Union Series Complete Programs 3848 PROGRAM NOTES Two Nocturnes-Nuages (Clouds) and Fetes (Festivals) CLAUDE ACHILLE DEBUSSY Though Debussy was openly averse to written explanations of his music, and though the score contains no program, he did write this description of the Nocturnes: "The title Nocturnes is to be interpreted here in a general and, more particularly, in a decorative sense. Therefore, it is not meant to designate the usual form of the Nocturne, but rather all the various impressions and the special effects of light that the word suggests. NlIa.ges renders the im­ mutable aspect of the sky and the slow, solemn motion of the clouds, fading into the poignant gray softly touched with white. Fetes gives us the vibrating, dancing rhythm of the atmosphere with sudden flash es of light. There is also the episode of the procession (a dazzling fantastic vision) which passes through the festive scene and becomes merged in it. But the background remains persistently the same: the festival with its blending of music and luminous dust participating in the cosmic rhythm." -PAUL AFFELDER Symphony No.1 in C major, Op.

  • Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Summer, 1992
    introducing the "twisted" form of the "Nature" theme in flutes and clarinets: Othello's love has gone awry. The main Allegro con brio is dominated by a forceful theme repre- senting Othello's jealousy. Its characteristic triplet infects many other ideas as the score proceeds. Halfway through the score Dvorak interrupts any plan to shape the movement into a formal sonata pattern and yields to an impulse to trace the closing scene in dramatic terms. In his own score he pencilled in certain comments that clarify his understanding of the passage. The first of these, "They embrace in silent ecstasy," marks the beginning of the tragedy's closing stage. Soon after, Dvorak quotes Wagner's "magic sleep" motif from Die Walkiire, as an indication that Desdemona has fallen into slumber. Othello, contemplating her putative infidelity, is consumed with jealousy and rage; the triplets increasingly dominate the rhythmic texture. A quota- tion from Dvorak's own Requiem hints at what is in store for Desdemona. She dies to a reminiscence of their love music, chilled by string tremolos played sul ponticello . Aghast at what he has done, Othello prays (a brief chorale in the woodwinds). He recalls their love; the "magic sleep" is now a permanent sleep of death. Over a long crescendo in the timpani and double basses, the twisted "Nature" theme softly comments; Othello now turns his aggressive rage on himself and makes his own quietus. —Steven Ledbetter Bela Bartok Piano Concerto No. 3 Bela Bartok was born in Nagyszentmiklos, Transylvania (then part of Hungary but now ab- sorbed into Rumania), on March 25, 1881, and died in New York on September 26, 1945.
