San Diego Chamber Orchestra Concert to Include Music by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms
San Diego Chamber Orchestra concert to include music by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms March 30, 1973 A free program of music by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms will be presented by the San Diego Chamber Orchestra at the University of California, San Diego at 4:30 p.m., Sunday, April 8. The concert, conducted by Glenn Block, will be held in the Recital Hall, Bldg. 409 on the Matthews Campus. The program will include Mozart's "Overture to the Opera, 'Don Giovanni,"' and Brahms' "Serenade No. 1 in D Major, Op. ll." Beethoven's "Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37" will feature Mary Alderdice as pianist. A California born composer, Ms. Alderdice attended the Interlochen Arts Academy and the Eastman School of Music. She studied the work of Bach with Rosalyn Tureck and has also been a student of Leon Fleisher. She has been awarded an International Bach Society Fellowship and performed recently at the Marlboro Music Festival. The San Diego Chamber Orchestra is an ensemble dedicated to creating a new system of orchestral performance which acts as an alternative to the more traditional system of performance of most professional and amateur orchestras. To achieve this new system of performance requires the ensemble to be totally free of any divisive elements that would destroy the interpersonal structure and relationships among members and the various sections of the orchestra. Members feel that traditional orchestra has developed such a highly competitive system that these relationships are destroyed. Members of the Chamber Orchestra also perform as principal players and members of the Civic Youth Orchestra, the San Diego Symphony, and the California State University Orchestra. -

Leon Fleisher Biography
LEON FLEISHER Guest Artist Photo by Chris Hartlove Photo “You can’t see music as it passes through the air. You can’t grasp it and hold on to it. You can’t smell it. You can’t taste it. But it has a most powerful effect on most people. And that is a wondrous thing to contemplate.” As a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in 2007, pianist Leon Fleisher was recognized as a “consummate musician whose career is a testament to the life-affirming power of art.” The child prodigy began to study the piano at the age of four and by the age of nine, the legendary Artur Schnabel invited him to be his student, first in Lake Como, Italy, and then in New York, where he nurtured and inspired the young Mr. Fleisher for the next ten years as he evolved into one of the great music masters of our time. Leon Fleisher made his debut with the New York Philharmonic, conducted by Pierre Monteux, when he was sixteen years old. Maître Monteux called him “the pianistic find of the century.” Mr. Fleisher went on to international renown, becoming the first American to win the prestigious Queen Elisabeth of Belgium Competition in Brussels in 1952. He subsequently enjoyed a prolific recording career, most notably with George Szell and The Cleveland Orchestra, recordings recognized as among the great collaborations in the concerto repertoire. In 1965, before a scheduled tour of Russia with The Cleveland Orchestra, Leon Fleisher began to suffer symptoms of a debilitating condition of his right hand, later diagnosed as focal dystonia, a neurological condition that causes the fingers to curl into the palm of the hand. -

Unauthorized recording or photography is strictly prohibited Carol Cole’s appearances in the United States, Canada, South America, North Africa, China, and throughout Europe have brought unanimous critical praise for her musical artistry, flawless technique and beautiful tone. “She knows how to capture the hearts of her listeners,” writes the Messaggero of Venice, Italy; “Passionate violin playing, carefully sculpted and crafted,” notes The Pocono Record in Pennsylvania. From Saratoga, New York, the Post Star described her playing as “brilliant, focused and impassioned – exceptional.” The Philadelphia Inquirer reviewed Ms. Cole’s performance at the Mozart- on-the-Square Chamber Music Series as “providing firm, accurate and spirited leadership – her sense of timing and sound (are) musical indeed.” Equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra leader, Cole has appeared at major music centers in more than 22 countries and 25 U.S.
