The Sitka residency provides an ideal opportunity for Charles to work on these projects, and a significant period of concentrated time to Board Meeting devote to these projects without the sort of everyday distractions and interruptions that can come up when working at home. As a guest instructor ** Reminder ** for the Wind and Waves Recorder Workshop, it offers opportunities to explore and hear different “orchestrations” and voicing for the Monday, June 16th, 2014 arrangements, and to “debut” some of those arrangements. Charles finds 7:30 p.m. working in new environments and situations to be refreshing – they provide a mental “reset” and focus. And the beautiful surroundings and artistic community at Sitka Center will be energizing and supportive. Hanan’s house ARS Elections – It’s Time to Vote! SRS’ Nancy Gorbman is a Candidate!

Several months ago our president, Ellis Hillinger, was contacted by Aldo Abreu, a recorder professional from Venezuela based in Boston, with a request to help out with a concert he wanted to present in Seattle on March 22nd. At nearly the same time, we learned that the board of the American Recorder Society would be meeting in the Seattle area that same weekend. The ARS Board asked the Seattle chapter to host a potluck followed by a playing session on March 22nd. The obvious answers to these requests were, “Yes! Yes! and Yes!” It was also apparent that stringing these three events together in the same location made sense in terms of logistics and participation. Fortunately there were no events scheduled that day on the calendar of the Maple Leaf Lutheran Church, and we were able to secure the sanctuary for the concert followed by the community hall for the potluck and playing session. By pure luck, there were also no other early music concerts in Seattle that day. Aldo Abreu's concert in Seattle was the final stop in a three-year project of a very personal nature. He is the son of a Venezuelan father, keyboardist Abraham Abreu, who studied in the USA, and an American mother, the cellist Janet Foxton, who grew up in Spokane.

  • Manuel Verdeguer Beltrán (1908-1988) Trayectoria Musical Y Aportaciones a La Escuela Moderna Del Contrabajo
    Doctorado en Arte: Producción e Investigación Manuel Verdeguer Beltrán (1908-1988) Trayectoria musical y aportaciones a la escuela moderna del contrabajo TESIS DOCTORAL Autor: Francisco Ruiz Zanón Directores: Antonio Ripollés Mansilla y Vicente Llimerá Dús Tutor: Vicente Barón Linares Valencia, febrero 2020 Agradecimientos Agradezco la inestimable ayuda de Francisco Verdeguer, sobrino del maestro Verdeguer residente actualmente en Valencia, que nos ha ofrecido la oportunidad de investigar sobre la vida de este gran artista, sin duda una de las grandes figuras del patrimonio musical valenciano. Agradecimiento a Manuel Verdeguer, hijo de Manuel Verdeguer Beltrán que reside en Sarasota (Estado de Florida). Agradezco los sabios consejos y el apoyo de mis directores de tesis el Dr. Antonio Ripollés Mansilla y el Dr. Vicente Llimerá Dús. Agradecimiento y dedicatoria de esta tesis a mis profesores de contrabajo Emilio Maravella, Gérard Massat, Jean Ané y Thierry Barbé. Mi agradecimiento a la Universitat Politècnica de València por su apoyo para que esta Tesis Doctoral viera la luz. En especial a la Dra. Teresa Cháfer, Coordinadora del Programa de Doctorado en Arte: Producción e Investigación, por su inestimable ayuda y a mi Tutor el Dr. Vicente Barón Linares por su gestión y buen hacer en los trámites para su defensa. 2 Resumen Manuel Verdeguer Beltrán es el contrabajista español más relevante del siglo XX, con un gran reconocimiento en el continente americano. Nacido en 1908 en Valencia, comenzó tocando el violoncello y posteriormente se consagró como solista y pedagogo del contrabajo, elogiado, entre otros por los maestros Lamote de Grignon y Joaquín Turina. El estudio de la época en la que desarrolló su carrera artística en España nos ha permitido descubrir la crisis económica causada a los intérpretes por la desaparición del cine mudo, así como en el conocimiento del reglamento que regía las condiciones laborales de los músicos.

  • Pedro Eustache CV
    Pedro Eustache pedroflute.com [email protected] Main Activity I am a creative solo flautist, reed player, world-woodwinds, wind synthesist, and composer with a unique, eclectic, multi-dimensional voice. My musical language is the result of many years of extensive study and professional experience in Western European classical, African- American, world (from a wide range of cultures), popular, folk, and computer/electronic musics. Although I have been careful to learn the traditional techniques and styles of these musics, in order to be able to perform them in an authentic, traditional manner to the best of my ability when it is appropriate to do so, I have also experimented extensively with melding techniques and styles in numerous new ways.

    Durante 20 años, el Grupo Onkora ha centrado su labor en la creación y divulgación de un repertorio de música popular instrumental venezolana. A lo largo de su historia, este quinteto ha logrado un depurado ensamble con un estilo muy particular, en el cual se combinan diversos colores por el aporte de instrumentos como el cuatro, la guitarra, el tiple, el contrabajo, la mandolina, la bandola, las maracas, las flautas traversas y el palo e’lluvia. El papel de Onkora, es proponer un nuevo lenguaje en el ámbito de la música popular venezolana, para atraer al público que ha ido en búsqueda de otras tendencias y géneros musicales. En un contexto más amplio, el Grupo Onkora pretende acercar nuestra música popular a los gustos de otras culturas, a través de la incorporación de elementos internacionales. Cumplir ambos objetivos, forman parte de un sueño mayor: lograr un sonido venezolano con proyección universal. El contar con tres producciones discográficas y la nominación al "Premio Nacional La Casa del Artista como Grupo Revelación del Año 1998" son motivo de orgullo y prueba de que el camino seguido ha sido el correcto.

  • Ricardo Lorenz: a Post-Colonial/Modern Latin(O) American Composer
    Ricardo Lorenz: A Post-Colonial/Modern Latin(o) American Composer Hermann Hudde This article examines Venezuelan composer Ricardo Lorenz (b. 1961), whose music and writing both focus around the concept of transcultura- tion. First used by Fernando Ortiz ([1947] 1995) to describe the cultural evolution of Cuba in the mid-twentieth century, transculturation is under- stood by Lorenz as the phenomenon of two mutually influential musical cultures; it “entails the circulation of ideas in both directions, resulting in an interdependent network of mutual influences” (Lorenz 2000a, 93). This article explores the role of transculturation in Lorenz’s work, putting it in the context of his relocation from Venezuela to the United States in the 1980s, as well as his own writings on the subject. Even though Ricardo Lorenz has an outstanding career as a contemporary composer, his works and artistic persona still remain under-explored in musicology. This ar- ticle seeks to establish groundwork for further scholarly study of Ricardo Lorenz’s music; at the same time, it aims to demonstrate the contributions of Latin American/Latino composers to Western art music, which they have accomplished by bringing forth a subtle universe of sounds shaped by its cultural history. 1 Venezuela, Latin American Art Music, and the United States The Venezuelan cultural mestizaje (inter-ethnicity/ethnic integration)—a more complex and extended phenomenon than the basic race mixture among indigenous, Europeans and West Africans because it also includes Asia and the Middle East—has created distinct layers of subtle cultural webs in the country (Hu-DeHart and López 2008). This socio-cultural fea- ture has molded the music-making process in Venezuela by incorporating complex subcultural layers of communities, identities, beliefs, genres, and styles.
