To showcase the breadth of concerts here at Eastman, we have gathered together all five of our established concert series—Eastman Presents, the Kilbourn Concert Series, the Eastman-Ranlet Series, the Fernando Laires Piano Series, and the Barbara B. Smith World Music Series—all into one booklet. As you page through this program, you’ll note that the Eastman Performance Series focuses on diversity and inclusion, presenting cultural programs that appeal and bring together a wide audience. This ability to find unity in diversity is perhaps the most important aspect of the hundreds of performances presented here at Eastman each year. Eastman is a vibrant community of performers and artists, all at the top of their musical game as virtuosos and interpreters, presenting and performing for the larger Rochester community. We encourage you to participate in the enjoyment of listening, engage in a spirited dialogue about what you see and hear, and allow your curiosity to bring you back for another concert or two! Thank you for being here tonight on this musical journey and enjoy the 2018/19 season! Mike Stefiuk Director of Concert Activities P.S.–We’re always open to your feedback.

I began a tradition of featuring faculty soloists as well as winners of the annual student Concerto Competition, now with an award offered by Olivas Music, providing the orchestra the opportunity to perform significant concerto literature as well as learning the art of accompanying. In 2012, I developed a new chamber orchestra called the “UTEP Virtuosi” focusing on significant string orchestra repertoire. I initiated a concert featuring music in movies and for stage in which that music is presented and integrated via multimedia with lectures and video. It has become the capstone event for the year featuring the artistry of faculty soloists and comments per classical music used in movies and music composed exclusively for that medium. Each year six performances are scheduled. Repertoire for each year covers all eras and styles.

Il s’agit d’une œuvre complète, qui illustre l’appétit créatif de Thomas Lauderdale, fondateur du groupe, depuis 15 ans: en plus d’of- frir une perspective originale sur le passé d’un groupe devenu aujourd’hui incontournable, elle comprend 7 morceaux inédits (dont «Moon River», en duo avec Gus Van Sant). Savant mé- lange de sonorités et de cultures de tous horizons, la musique de Pink Martini est un cocktail à déguster sans modération. L’aventure Pink Martini débute en 1994, dans l’Oregon. Origi- nellement centré autour de Thomas M. Lauderdale et China Forbes, le groupe aux inspirations et collaborations multiples chante en anglais, français, mais aussi espagnol, italien, japo- nais, croate… Leur style musical, éclectique, passe «d’une samba digne d’une parade à Rio de Janeiro à la musique d’un cabaret français des années 30 ou d’un palais napolitain, un peu comme une sorte de voyage musical urbain», d’après les mots de Thomas Lauderdale. «On essaye de créer une sorte de char- mant environnement musical, dont on peut augmenter ou bais- ser le volume, et jouer en toute occasion, ou presque: musique d’ambiance, aventure amoureuse ou quand on passe l’aspira- teur chez soi!».

  • L'age D'or of the Chamber Wind Ensemble
    L’Age d’or of the Chamber Wind Ensemble A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Ensembles and Conducting Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2013 by Danielle D. Gaudry BM, McGill University, 2000 BE, University of Toronto, 2001 MM, The Pennsylvania State University, 2009 Committee Chair: Terence Milligan, DMA ABSTRACT This document presents a narrative history of the chamber wind ensembles led by Paul Taffanel, Georges Barrère and Georges Longy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Using different historical approaches, this study examines contemporaneous musical society and the chamber wind ensemble genre to explore the context and setting for the genesis of the Société de musique de chambre pour instruments à vents, the Société moderne des instruments à vents, the Longy Club and the Barrère Ensemble of Wind Instruments. A summary of each ensemble leader’s life and description of the activities of the ensemble, selected repertoire and press reactions towards their performances provide essential insights on each ensemble. In demonstrating their shared origins, ideologies, and similarities in programming philosophies, this document reveals why these chamber wind ensembles created a musical movement, a golden age or age d’or of wind chamber music, affecting the local music scene and continuing to hold influence on today’s performers of wind music. ""!! ! Copyright 2013, Danielle D. Gaudry """! ! ! ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all those who have been a part of my journey, both in the completion of this document and over the course of this degree.

  • BIOGRAPHY in 1994 in His Hometown of Portland, Oregon, Thomas Lauderdale Was Working in Politics, Thinking That One Day He Would Run for Mayor
    BIOGRAPHY In 1994 in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, Thomas Lauderdale was working in politics, thinking that one day he would run for mayor. Like other eager politicians-in- training, he went to every political fundraiser under the sun… but was dismayed to find the music at these events underwhelming, lackluster, loud and un-neighborly. Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world – crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop – and hoping to appeal to conservatives and liberals alike, he founded the “little orchestra” Pink Martini in 1994 to provide more beautiful and inclusive musical soundtracks for political fundraisers for causes such as civil rights, affordable housing, the environment, libraries, public broadcasting, education and parks. One year later, Lauderdale called China Forbes, a Harvard classmate who was living in New York City, and asked her to join Pink Martini. They began to write songs together. Their first song “Sympathique” became an overnight sensation in France, was nominated for “Song of the Year” at France’s Victoires de la Musique Awards, and to this day remains a mantra (“Je ne veux pas travailler” or “I don’t want to work”) for striking French workers. Says Lauderdale, “We’re very much an American band, but we spend a lot of time abroad and therefore have the incredible diplomatic opportunity to represent a broader, more inclusive America… the America which remains the most heterogeneously populated country in the world… composed of people of every country, every language, every religion.” Featuring a dozen musicians, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, Northern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America and North America.
