  • Encores! 2016 Season Release
    Contact:: Helene Davis Public Relations [email protected] NEW YORK CITY CENTER 2016 ENCORES! SEASON Cabin in the Sky Music by Vernon Duke; Lyrics by John La Touche Book by Lynn Root ~ 1776 America’s Prize Winning Musical Music and Lyrics by Sherman Edwards Book by Peter Stone Based on a Concept by Sherman Edwards ~ Do I Hear a Waltz? Music by Richard Rodgers; Lyrics by StePhen Sondheim Book by Arthur Laurents Based on the play The Time of the Cuckoo by Arthur Laurents Season Begins February 10, 2016 New York, NY, May 11, 2015– The 2016 season of New York City Center’s Tony-honored Encores! series will open with Cabin in the Sky on February 10–14, 2016, followed by 1776 and Do I Hear a Waltz?. Jack Viertel is the artistic director of Encores!; Rob Berman is its music director. Cabin in the Sky tells the fable-like story of a battle between The Lord’s General and the Devil’s only son over the soul of a charming ne’er-do-well named “Little Joe” Jackson who, after a knife fight in a saloon, is given six months more on earth to prove his worth. With Cabin in the Sky, composer Vernon Duke, lyricist John La Touche, and librettist Lynn Root set out to celebrate African American achievement in music and dance, and created a wonderfully integrated score that blends hits like “Taking a Chance on Love” with authentic traditional gospel numbers and full-fledged modern dance pieces. The show opened on October 25, 1940 at the Martin Beck Theatre in a production staged and choreographed by George Balanchine and ran 156 performances.

Order a reprint of this article now. » January 24, 1999 MUSIC MUSIC; A Neglected Master's Haunting Consolations By BARRY SINGER THERE is something so improbably consoling about the sadness at the heart of the best Vernon Duke melodies. This redemptive afterglow could be a consequence of sheer melodic sophistication. Duke knew how to construct a song, elegantly, with surpassing craft and harmonic flair. Yet the earned wisdom behind the sadness in his music transcends flair and craft and goes beyond sophistication. It's not that the songs are even inherently unhappy. ''Autumn in New York,'' ''April in Paris'' and ''I Can't Get Started'' -- to name Duke's most identifiable trio -- inhabit an emotional realm uncommon in the American popular song canon, that of dry-eyed ballads of unusual poignancy. The melancholy induced by these songs, while hauntingly seductive, is never glum. Nor was Duke remotely a sad kind of guy. An aristocratic White Russian emigre turned Broadway songwriter, he seems to have had a rather good time of it all, dressing with notorious dash and, in a polyglot of languages, charming chorus girls and theatrical producers alike. Duke knew everybody, from his dearest friend, the Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, to Picasso and Chanel, Balanchine and Jean Cocteau, and even an antic young serviceman whom Duke discovered during World War II, Sid Caesar.

  • Heinrich Schiff | Biografie Dirigent, Violoncello
    Heinrich Schiff | Biografie Dirigent, Violoncello Der Dirigent und Cellist Heinrich Schiff konnte auf eine jahrzehntelange Karriere zurückblicken. Nach seinem Cellostudium bei Tobias Kühne und André Navarra debütierte er 1971 in Wien und London. Er war regelmäßig bei allen bedeutenden Orchestern, in den großen Musikzentren und bei den wichtigen Festivals in Europa, den USA und Japan zu Gast. Im Laufe seiner Karriere spielte Heinrich Schiffs das gesamte wesentliche Cello-Repertoire von Vivaldi bis Zimmermann ein und erhielt dafür mehrere Auszeichnungen. Die Einspielung der Bach Solo-Suiten wurde als Meilenstein der Bach- Interpretation bezeichnet und hat nachfolgende Musikergenerationen maßgeblich beeinflusst. Begeistert aufgenommen wurde die Gesamtaufnahme von Beethovens Werken für Cello und Klavier mit Till Fellner. Die Beschäftigung mit zeitgenössischer Musik nahm einen wichtigen Platz ein. So brachte er eine Reihe von Cellokonzerten zur Uraufführung. Auch der Kammermusik galt Heinrich Schiffs Interesse. Zu seinen Partnern gehörten Leif Ove Andsnes, Martin Helmchen, das Alban Berg Quartett und das Hagen Quartett, sowie im Trio Christian Zacharias und Frank Peter Zimmermann. Während das Cello zu Beginn seiner Karriere im Mittelpunkt stand, gewann das Dirigieren ab 1985 in seinen musikalischen Aktivitäten zunehmend an Bedeutung. Zuletzt bildete die Arbeit als Dirigent den größten Teil seines Schaffens. Heinrich Schiff hatte verschiedene Positionen als Chef- oder Gastdirigent bei der Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Northern Sinfonia, Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra, Musikkollegium Winterthur, Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart, Bruckner Orchester Linz und dem Wiener KammerOrchester inne. Als Operndirigent leitete er unter anderem die Produktionen der „Zauberflöte“ und des „Fidelio“ am Theater La Monnaie in Brüssel. Seine Arbeit als Dirigent dokumentieren CD-Eispielungen mit Orchestern wie der Northern Sinfonia, dem Philharmonia Orchestra und der Deutschen Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.

    Localism and Independence at Viacom Television Stations Group Stations Executive Summary Viacom Television Stations Group (VTSG) comprises 35 full-service television stations in some 27 markets around the country whose central focus is service to the local community. Sixteen of these stations are affiliated with the CBS Network, 18 with the UPN Network and one is independent. Each station is managed and operated by a local team that is committed to serving its local community by broadcasting programming covering local public affairs, local emergencies, local politics and local civics and culture. In addition, off-air, VTSG stations and their employees are actively involved in community activities and community events by participating in and donating to thousands of community and charitable events. The following nearly 200 pages contain only highlights of the ways in which VTSG stations serve their local communities. For example, with respect to local news, the summary shows that VTSG dedicates hundreds of hours of airtime each week and spends hundreds of millions of dollars providing its viewers with high quality local news, in addition to the hundreds of hours of national CBS News aired each week on VTSG stations affiliated with the CBS Network.
