Our young musicians were challenged. Many found themselves in distant places for much of the year and struggled to gather to record their performance. Sadly, one group, the Colores Trio of Zurich, Switzerland, was not able to compete due to travel restrictions within the European Union. We will hope they can join us next year. The judges were equally challenged. They will view the day’s performances from their home bases which stretch from Baltimore to Bend, Oregon. And then, the deliberations will take place on the ever-present Zoom! The committee of volunteers was challenged to think of each element of the program in a new way. I believe we are all proudest of being able to devise a way to hold the Audience Choice Award at the end of the day.

  • The Danish String Quartet 2019-2020 Biography
    The Danish String Quartet 2019-2020 Biography Frederik Øland (Violin); Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen (Violin); Asbjørn Nørgaard (Viola); Fredrik Schøyen Sjölin (Cello) Among today’s many exceptional chamber music groups, the GRAMMY® nominated Danish String Quartet continuously asserts its preeminence. The Quartet’s playing reflects impeccable musicianship, sophisticated artistry, exquisite clarity of ensemble, and, above all, an expressivity inextricably bound to the music, from Haydn to Shostakovich to contemporary scores. Performances bring a rare musical spontaneity, giving audiences the sense of hearing even treasured canon repertoire as if for the first time, and exuding a palpable joy in music-making that have made them enormously in-demand on concert stages throughout the world. The recipient of many awards and prestigious appointments, including Musical America’s 2020 Ensemble of the Year and the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, the Danish String Quartet was named in 2013 as BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists and appointed to the The Bowers Program (formerly CMS Two). As part of a three-year residency, the Danish String Quartet brings a series of five concerts, which mirror the programs in its ongoing recording project with ECM New Series, PRISM, to La Jolla Music Society in November 2019. Each PRISM program is an exploration of the symbiotic musical and contextual relationships between Bach fugues, Beethoven string quartets, and works by Shostakovich, Schnittke, Bartok, Mendelssohn, and Webern, forming an expertly curated musical evolution within each individual program and across the entire PRISM repertory. Prism I, the first disc of this five-album project for the ECM label, was released in September 2018 and garnered a GRAMMY® nomination in the category of Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance for the group’s recordings of Beethoven’s Op.

  • The Debut Album from Duo Kalysta BWW News Desk
    Leaf Music Proudly Presents 'Origins' The Debut Album from Duo Kalysta BWW News Desk Leaf Music is proud to present Origins, the debut album from Duo Kalysta, the acclaimed flute and harp duo comprised of Lara Deutsch and Emily Belvedere. Origins, featuring entrancing music - both familiar and new - by Canadian and French composers, released on September 6, 2019. Belvedere, praised for her "crystalline technique" (MusicWeb International) and Deutsch, who reveals "new worlds of colour and meaning in every single note" (CBC Music) met at McGill University in Montreal, where they performed Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp under the baton of Alexis Hauser. "Origins" refers to their return to Montreal to record the album and to their beginnings as a chamber ensemble. Given the album's Canadian and French repertoire, the title also alludes to the musicians' Canadian heritage, as well as the heritage of their instruments, which were greatly impacted by French musical traditions. Gaining attention nationwide as a young duo with an exceptional musical connection, Duo Kalysta's recording projects include a series of music videos for Mécénat Musica Vidéoclips. Following a recent performance by Duo Kalysta in Montreal, Les ArtsZé commented that that the audience enjoyed "the technical breadth of the two virtuosos ... revealing a great richness." Origins features Claude Debussy's beloved Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, with its famous, dreamy flute solo, in an intimate arrangement by harpist Judy Loman. Jocelyn Morlock's Vespertine (2005) utilizes extended techniques to conjure night-blossoming plants and nocturnally-active creatures. Violist Marina Thibeault joins the duo for R.

We believe the program offers many benefits to participants and helps to build their confidence, strengthen their performance skills, and, ultimately, realize their dreams. By being introduced to new audiences on stage in New York City, one of the world’s grandest performance venues, participants can expect to have a memorable experience. This year our organization continues to grow and our International Pi- ano and Strings, Romantic Music, Concerto and Music Talent Competi- tions attracted the largest number of talented applicants on record. Our success and reputation as one of the most prestigious competitions can be attributed to several factors including highly qualified and acclaimed judges with strong musical backgrounds, friendly staff, a renowned re- cital stage and, foremost, elite participants from all over the world. Our Organizational Committee is extremely grateful to all the music schools and conservatories, where our participants acquire their music knowledge and receive careful nurturing. We would also like to thank the music teachers whose dedication has been indispensable in creating a strong and solid music foundation for the young artists. Finally, we thank all the parents for their support in organizing these exciting events and for giving their children an opportunity to get in touch with the amazing world of classical music.

Since its inception, the idea behind noexit has been to serve as an outlet for the commission and performance of contemporary avant-garde concert music. Now in our 11th season and with over 140 commissions to date, NoExit is going strong in our efforts to promote the music of living composers and to be an impetus for the creation of new works. We have strived to create exciting, meaningful and thought-provoking programs; always with the philosophy of bringing the concert hall to the community (not the other way around) and by presenting our programs in a manner which allows for our audience to really connect with the experience......... free and open to the public in every sense. For our 2019-2020 season, NoExit will be welcoming a very special guest, cimbalom virtuoso Chester Englander, who will be performing with NoExit over the next two seasons as part of an ambitious project to commission and record 2 CD’s of all new work. As always, there will be more world premiere music than you can count on one hand (we have 10 new pieces planned for this season). We are particularly happy to be presenting the music of 5 very impressive and talented student composers from Northeast Ohio, representing various colleges from the area. As in past seasons, the ensemble will be participating in the NEOSonicFest, collaborating with Zeitgeist (our favorite co-consprirators) and so much more.
