The Royal Conservatory Announces the 2010.11 Season at Koerner Hall Embargoed for 11:30am on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 Please include in your listings/announcements THE ROYAL CONSERVATORY ANNOUNCES THE 2010.11 SEASON AT KOERNER HALL YO-YO MA WILL OPEN THE SECOND SEASON WITH A GALA CONCERT OSCAR PETERSON’S LEGACY WILL BE EXPLORED AMERICAN SUPERSTAR VIOLINIST HILARY HAHN WILL MAKE HER KOERNER HALL DEBUT Following on the immense success of the inaugural Koerner Hall season at the TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning, The Royal Conservatory (The RCM) President, Dr. Peter Simon, is thrilled to announce more inspiring and diverse concerts for 2010.11. Mervon Mehta, Executive Director, RCM Performing Arts, has once again assembled a wide array of artists of different backgrounds, performing a variety of musical genres, in order to present audiences with the highest quality of rich and diverse musical experiences. The journey will go from South Africa through France and Ireland to the Americas, from the earliest Baroque through jazz to Broadway and pop. Along the way we will celebrate an icon, introduce new artists to Toronto, present the next generation of classical artists, focus the attention on the varied aspects of Beethoven and Bach, revel in the solo piano works of Liszt, feast on works from Canadian composers, and offer a chance to hear the best music from Africa. Grand Opening Weekend The 2010.11 Koerner Hall season will open with a very special Grand Opening Weekend of performances and events. On Thursday, October 14, 2010, one of the world’s most beloved cellists and a favourite of Toronto’s audiences, the incomparable Yo-Yo Ma, will give a recital accompanied by pianist Kathryn Stott. The following evening, presented by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship, Koerner Hall will host the high-profile LaFontaine-Baldwin Lecture. This year’s special guest will be His Highness the Aga Khan, the 49th Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, who was invested as an Honorary Companion of the Order of Canada in 2006 and became an Honorary Citizen of Canada in 2009. Bringing her signature coplas (female-centric Spanish torch songs), Afro-Mallorcan world music star, Buika, will make her Canadian debut on October 16, and the Grand Opening Weekend will be rounded out with a concert by the Esprit Orchestra, featuring a work by RCM stalwart R. Murray Schafer, which will mark Esprit’s official move of their concert series to Koerner Hall. Aspects of Oscar Jazz giant and Canadian legend, Oscar Peterson, holds a special place in The Royal Conservatory’s history (he is an honorary Fellow of The RCM) and in Mervon Mehta’s heart. Mehta presented Peterson on the opening night of Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center in 2002, and enjoyed a long association with the pianist. In Aspects of Oscar, a series of concerts dedicated to his memory, Peterson’s legacy will be explored in detail by his long-time artistic collaborators and friends. The first of the five concerts, Oscar’s Songbooks, has been put together by bassist Dave Young, who frequently worked with Peterson, and will feature Reg Schwager (guitar), Kevin Turcotte (trumpet), Robi Botos (piano), 2010 Juno Award-winner Terry Clarke (drums), and special guest vocalist Carol Welsman, one of Oscar’s favourite singers and a /2 -2- daughter of a former RCM President, Frank Welsman. John Coltrane’s legendary pianist, McCoy Tyner, and rising star pianist, Alfredo Rodriguez, recently discovered and recorded by Quincy Jones, will pay tribute to Oscar Peterson’s solo piano music in the Oscar Solo concert. In Oscar’s Trios, Benny Green, Peter Washington, Kenny Washington, and Ulf Wakenius, will swing through trios of piano/bass/drums and piano/bass/guitar combinations; and Oscar Swings, with Monty Alexander and other special guests, will be a celebration of Oscar at his swingin’est, and feature his social and civil rights works, such as Hymn to Freedom. The last concert of the series, Oscar’s Blues, with soulful trumpeter Roy Hargrove, will present a forward-looking ensemble of the next generation of artists carrying Oscar’s torch. Each of the five concerts will include an Artist Chat between Mr. Mehta and the evening’s guest artists as they share stories and lessons learned from Oscar Peterson. Jazz In addition to the extensive Aspects of Oscar jazz series, South African phenomenon and jazz trumpet legend, Hugh Masekela, will bring his melodic brand of world jazz to Toronto; Swedish mezzo-soprano, Anne Sofie von Otter, will team up with American jazz pianist, Brad Mehldau, in a special program of classical and jazz favourites; and legendary pianist Allen Toussaint, trumpeter Nicholas Payton, and The Joe Krown Trio, will take the audience into the spirited soul of New Orleans in a concert titled New Orleans Nights. Piano Concerts Simone Dinnerstein is one of the artists who will already be returning to Koerner Hall in its second season. Having previously appeared with Absolute Ensemble in ultra modern interpretations of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music, on her return visit she will play the Goldberg Variations, a recording of which almost made her a household name in 2007. Young Canadian pianist Stewart Goodyear will return home to perform an all Beethoven program - Goodyear was taught by James Anagnoson, Dean of The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School, who later recommended him to the legendary Leon Fleisher. Fleisher, who led a sold-out concert with the Royal Conservatory Orchestra featuring Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand this season, will appear next to play works by Schubert and Bach. Two French pianists, Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Hélène Grimaud, both renowned as proponents of contemporary music and leading interpreters of the standard piano repertoire, will present works by Franz Liszt, during the 200th anniversary year of his birth. The series will wrap up with a recital by Olga Kern, playing Yamaha’s superb new concert grand piano. Strings Concerts Canadian violinist Leila Josefowicz has won the hearts of audiences around the world with her honest, fresh approach to the repertoire and her dynamic virtuosity. She made her Carnegie Hall debut at the age of 17, conducted by Sir Neville Marriner, and in her Koerner Hall debut she will present works by Brahms, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Schubert, and the Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tüür. Called “The Violinist of Violinists” by The Strad magazine, Leonidas Kavakos will be accompanied by pianist Enrico Pace in a recital including Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata No.1 in F Minor and the gifted emerging composer Lena Auerbach’s Preludes. A favourite of Toronto audiences and an iTunes phenomenon, Hilary Hahn, stated that she has played more works by Bach than any other composer and has played solo Bach pieces every day since she was eight years old. She will display her considerable Bach skills in the Sonata No. 1 for Solo Violin in G Minor, among other repertoire, with Valentina Lisitsa on the piano. Gears will switch from violin to the guitar in the hands of Grammy Award-winner John Williams. This international ambassador of the guitar has toured the world playing solo and with orchestras, and his guitar version of Cavatina became a worldwide hit single when it was used as the theme music in the Oscar-winning movie, The Deer Hunter. Chamber Concerts One of the highlights of the chamber music concerts, as well as the whole season, will be the Canadian debut of the Scharoun Ensemble. This octet, comprised of the first chair woodwind and string members of the incomparable Berlin /3 -3- Philharmonic, will make their highly anticipated Canadian debut in March of 2011. Kremerata Baltica is a renowned chamber orchestra, founded by violinist Gidon Kremer to foster outstanding young musicians from the three Baltic States. Grammy Award winners in 2002, their program will include works by Béla Bartók, Robert Schumann, Arvo Pärt, Raminita Šerkšnyté, Michael Nyman, Georgs Pelecis, and Lena Auerbach. Three highly specialized chamber ensembles will also grace the stage of Koerner Hall: Interpreti Veneziani with expertly performed Italian baroque chamber music, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Italian unification; Les Percussions de Strasbourg with percussive energy of a Iannis Xanakis piece that will surround the Koerner Hall audience and a world premiere by Canadian composer Andrew Staniland; and the renowned viol player, Jordi Savall, and his Hespèrion XXI ensemble, with baroque music by composers from the Old Spain, Mexican Baroque, and the living Huasteca and Jarocho traditions. Bringing music closer to home and rounding out the series, The Royal Conservatory’s very own ARC Ensemble will share the stage with the Kalichstein-Laredo- Robinson Trio, who made their debut at the White House for President Carter’s Inauguration in January, 1977. Orchestra and Opera Concerts The Royal Conservatory Orchestra (RCO) will present more concerts than ever before in one season. Three concerts will be led by Maestro Uri Mayer, Director of the Orchestral Program and Resident Conductor at The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School, and two by returning conductors from the 2009.10 season: Canadian Opera Company’s Music Director, Johannes Debus, and Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s Music Director, Peter Oundjian. New this year, Mervon Mehta will engage Peter Oundjian in one of his popular post-intermission Artist Chats. The last RCO concert will be conducted by Julian Kuerti, Assistant Conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the son of the illustrious Canadian pianist Anton Kuerti, in his Koerner Hall debut. Building upon the extraordinary success of this season’s magical telling of Massenet’s Cendrillon, the talented young artists of The Glenn Gould School’s Vocal Program and the Royal Conservatory Orchestra will present another opera in the glorious acoustics of Koerner Hall in the spring of 2011.

  • 13Th February 2021 Dear All Tomorrow Is One of Those Strangely
    13th February 2021 Dear all Tomorrow is one of those strangely named Sundays – the Sunday Next Before Lent. I’m not quite sure why the ‘next’ comes in , but it interesting that both of the penitential seasons in the church calendar have a countdown… 3rd Sunday before Advent, 2nd Sunday before Lent etc.. We often see Advent and Lent as periods leading up to the exciting seasons of Christmas and Easter, but the church calendar requires us to take them seriously in their own right. What will we be doing for Lent? Let’s gear ourselves up… get ready… set… and, go! In a recent letter I suggested a few books or courses you might be interested in. I also invited anyone to request an ash cross stone, to be left on their doorstep. Please let me know by Wednesday, so that I know how many to prepare. Tomorrow’s service details: Readings – 2 Kings 2: 1-12; 2 Corinthians 4: 3-6; Psalm 50: 1-6; Mark 9: 2-9 Hymns: Jesus on the mountain peak; ‘Tis good, Lord, to be here. Lent Course: Next Thursday is the day after Ash Wednesday, and so we will put our study of Mark’s gospel on hold, and instead follow our Lent Course. The details are the same as always: We will meet on Zoom, Thursdays 2.30-3.30ish pm. The Zoom details are: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/8109399155?pwd=STVVTU44RzJxTFFHbTY1MnI0bjJ2Zz09 Meeting ID: 810 939 9155 Passcode: 1w2C9a Please note that, on Thursday 25th February the Lent Course will take place in the morning , at 10.30am.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one?

  • Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été
    Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été - A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore The song cycle Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 consists of settings by Hector Berlioz of six poems written by his friend Théophile Gautier. Strictly speaking, they do not really constitute a cycle, insofar as they are not linked by any narrative but only loosely connected by their disparate treatment of the themes of love and loss. There is, however, a neat symmetry in their arrangement: two cheerful, optimistic songs looking forward to the future, frame four sombre, introspective songs. Completed in 1841, they were originally for a mezzo-soprano or tenor soloist with a piano accompaniment but having orchestrated "Absence" in 1843 for his lover and future wife, Maria Recio, Berlioz then did the same for the other five in 1856, transposing the second and third songs to lower keys. When this version was published, Berlioz specified different voices for the various songs: mezzo-soprano or tenor for "Villanelle", contralto for "Le spectre de la rose", baritone (or, optionally, contralto or mezzo) for "Sur les lagunes", mezzo or tenor for "Absence", tenor for "Au cimetière", and mezzo or tenor for "L'île inconnue". However, after a long period of neglect, in their resurgence in modern times they have generally become the province of a single singer, usually a mezzo-soprano – although both mezzos and sopranos sometimes tinker with the keys to ensure that the tessitura of individual songs sits in the sweet spot of their voices, and transpositions of every song are now available so that it can be sung in any one of three - or, in the case of “Au cimetière”, four - key options; thus, there is no consistency of keys across the board.

  • Peter Novelli Peternovelli.Com
    Peter Novelli peternovelli.com Guitarist / singer / songwriter Peter Novelli is based in New Orleans. The Peter Novelli Band plays Louisiana roots and blues, a blend of blues-rock-R&B-funk with some zydeco-cajun influences. Novelli’s CD Louisiana Roots & Blues (June 12 release) with his core rhythm section Darryl White (drums, formerly w/ Tab Benoit and Chris Thomas King), Chris Chew (bass, North Mississippi Allstars), Joe Krown (B3 and piano, formerly w/ late Gatemouth Brown), and special guests Chubby Carrier (Grammy-winning zydeco accordionist), Chris Thomas King (lap slide guitar, Grammy “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou”), Shamarr Allen (trumpet) and Elaine and Lisa Foster on vocals. Novelli’s debut CD, produced by bassist David Hyde, hit the charts within a month of release and gathered widespread critical acclaim. His originals, with a few selected covers, made a journey through Louisiana-American blues-roots music. Guests include Dr. John, Paul Barrere, Augie Meyers, the late Gatemouth Brown’s rhythm section, and top Lousiana musicians. The CD includes an historical Tribute To Slim Harpo, with members of Harpo’s band including James Johnson, and interviews with Johnson, the late Raful Neal and “Big” Johnny Thomassie. Novelli started violin at age 6, picked up guitar at 14 after hearing a BB King record. The intensity, passion and raw emotional content of some of the blues masters (black and white, American and British) stuck in his ear and that is what drives him to this day. He likes to combine this feel with harmonic ideas of jazz, the relentless groove of zydeco, and just about any cool and unusual style of music or rhythm that works.

  • CELEBRATING OSCAR PETERSON Posted on February 16, 2021
    BLACK HISTORY MONTH | CELEBRATING OSCAR PETERSON Posted on February 16, 2021 Category: News Oscar Emmanuel Peterson (1925–2007) | Agent of Change | Remembered as a virtuoso jazz pianist and composer of Hymn to Freedom, an international anthem to civil rights. The son of immigrants from the West Indies, Oscar Peterson was born in Montréal, Québec and grew up in Little Burgundy, a predominantly Black neighbourhood of the city where he was immersed in the culture of jazz. He was five years old when he began taking music lessons from his father. He also studied classical piano with his sister, Daisy Peterson Sweeney, who went on to teach other renowned jazz artists. Peterson later attended the Conservatoire de musique du Québec è Montrèal and studied classical piano with Paul de Marky, but with a deep interest in jazz, he also played boogie-woogie and ragtime. At only 14 years old, Peterson won the national Canadian Broadcasting Corporation music competition, after which he dropped out of high school and joined a band with jazz trumpeter and classmate Maynard Ferguson. While still a teenager, Peterson played professionally at hotels and at a weekly radio show. He also joined the Jonny Holmes Orchestra as its only Black musician. From 1945 to 1949, Peterson recorded 32 songs with RCA Victor. Beginning in the 1950s, he released several albums each year while appearing on over 200 albums by other artists including Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dizzy Gillespie. In 1949, jazz impresario Norman Ganz was on his way to the airport in Montréal, when hearing Peterson playing live on radio, asked the cab driver to take him to the club where the concert was being aired.
