    SOMMARIO Ritratti -27 Vincenzo Scaramuzza maestro di pianoforte Dal Vesuvio al Mar de la Plata Ricorre quest’anno il quarantennale dalla morte del celebre didatta calabrese, il cui nome le giovani generazioni di musicisti conoscono appena. Formatosi a Napoli ed espatriato in Argentina, fondò a Buenos Aires una storica scuola pianistica alla quale si formarono alcuni fra i nomi più prestigiosi del pianismo mondiale, fra tutti Bruno Leonardo Gelber , Martha Argerich e, indirettamente, anche Daniel Barenboim. La Argerich ha compiuto in Italia, i mesi scorsi, una lunga tournée in onore di Scaramuzza, con due soste, davvero memorabili, presso l’Accademia di Santa Cecilia, a Roma. di Piero Rattalino 28 - Ritratti SOMMARIO uzio Clementi – non mentre era in vita: molti vedova e non avesse deciso di averne piene le tasche anni dopo la sua morte – fu detto “ padre del della vita girovaga del concertista, Beniamino Cesi Mpianoforte”.

    ROSEMARY HYLER RITTER Founder/Artistic Director Matthew Morris and Liza Stepanova Associate Artistic Directors “Bright is the ring of words when the right man rings them.” – Robert Lewis Stevenson THE COMPLETE RECITALIST MAY 31-JUNE 28, 2014 The Stern Fellowship Program for Singers and Pianists has generously been funded by The Marc and Eva Stern Foundation. We gratefully acknowledge and thank the Stern family! SongFest is thrilled to announce that two well-known members of our community have joined the artistic team as associate artistic directors this season: Matthew Morris, baritone (Stern Fellow ’10 and Faculty ’12,’13) and Liza Stepanova, pianist (Stern Fellow ’09 & ’10, Faculty ’11,’12, and ‘13). As a program dedicated to the unique marriage of poetry and music brought to life by a singer and a pianist, SongFest could not imagine a better team than these artists who both attended the program as participants and returned each year thereafter as faculty. Matthew has a unique performing career that combines recital (he most recently made his Kennedy Center debut as the winner of the Vocal Arts DC competition), concert (debuts with the London, American, Boston, and MDR Leipzig Symphony Orchestras), opera (including New York City Opera and Santa Fe Opera), theater (the Bouffes du Nord in Paris, West End, and Piccolo Teatro in Milan), and film and television (The Producers and Law & Order). He trained at the Juilliard School, at the Bard Conservatory with Dawn Upshaw, and with Peter Brook and Marcello Magni of the Lecoq school. We are honored that he shares his breadth and depth of experience each summer with our singers as Director of the Young Artist Program.

    O-Week Jones College The Rice Experience 53 Academics University Resources Wellness & Diversity Student Life Student Houston and Beyond Academics Academic Advising Your next four years at Rice will be an incredible experience, but you have to get an education at some point, right? Switching from a high school to a college curriculum can be kind of a scary transition, but have no fear! Rice has a number of well-trained faculty, staff and students to help you with your academic transition. A lot of your initial questions will be answered during O-Week, through presentations and academic planning sessions, in time for you to register for classes during orientation week. There is a list of people that are available for your entire career at Rice. They are a great resource and can really help you succeed in your first year and beyond. Divisional Advisors During O-Week, you will have a chance to meet with a faculty advisor within your school of interest, which you designated on your academic questionnaire this summer. He or she will give you general guidance with- in your division of study. These faculty advisors are a great resource for questions on academic rules, regulations and policies, general graduation requirements, campus resources, current educational opportunities for students, course planning, major considerations, study abroad, and other Rice and non-Rice opportunities. Your divisional advisor doesn’t serve as a resource only during O-Week, though. You can continue to meet with your divisional advisor after O-Week and even after you decide on a major. Plus, these advisors are associates at Jones, which means they often come hang out at the college at lunch or during Associates Night.
