Day, date, month and moon phase in 18K gold. Only the few will seek the exclusivity that comes with owning an Audemars Piguet. Only the few will recognize wn more than a century of technical in- ill novation; today, that innovation is reflected in our ultra-thin mech- Memars Piguet anical movements, the sophistica- tion of our perpetual calendars, and more recently, our dramatic new watch with dual time zones. Only the few will appreciate The CEO Collection which includes a unique selection of the finest Swiss watches man can create. Audemars Piguet makes only a limited number of watches each year. But then, that's something only the few will understand.

Wellington Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts are funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Symphony Hall On display in the first-floor Huntington Avenue corridor of the Cohen Wing is an archival exhibit celebrating the 90th anniversary of Symphony Hall. In addition to newspaper accounts of the building's opening in 1900, the exhibit includes period photographs and a tribute to acoustician Wallace Clement Sabine. Articles on various aspects of Symphony Hall will be featured in the BSO program book throughout the season. The cover shows part of an architect's rendering of Symphony Hall, with lettering for "The Boston Music Hall" visible above what was originally the main entrance on Huntington Avenue. The new building was never so named, however, since the old Music Hall, where the BSO performed until Symphony Hall opened in 1900, was not torn down as planned. ^\;^m.

  • Edgar Meyer Biography by IMG Artists - IMG Artists Imgartists.Com
    Edgar Meyer Biography by IMG Artists - IMG Artists imgartists.com Edgar Meyer In demand as both a performer and a composer, Edgar Meyer has formed a role in the music world unlike any other. Hailed by The New Yorker as “...the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument”, Mr. Meyer’s unparalleled technique and musicianship in combination with his gift for composition have brought him to the fore, where he is appreciated by a vast, varied audience. His uniqueness in the field was recognized by a MacArthur Award in 2002. As a solo classical bassist, Mr. Meyer can be heard on a concerto album with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra conducted by Hugh Wolff featuring Bottesini’s Gran Duo with Joshua Bell, Meyer’s own Double Concerto for Bass and Cello with Yo-Yo Ma, Bottesini’s Bass Concerto No. 2, and Meyer’s own Concerto in D for Bass. He has also recorded an album featuring three of Bach’s Unaccompanied Suites for Cello. In 2006, he released a self-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recorded all of the music, incorporating piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, gamba, and double bass. In 2007, recognizing his wide-ranging recording achievements, Sony/BMG released a compilation of “The Best of Edgar Meyer”. In 2011 Mr. Meyer joined cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile, and fiddler Stuart Duncan for the Sony Masterworks recording “The Goat Rodeo Sessions” which was awarded the 2012 Grammy® Award for Best Folk Album. As a composer, Mr. Meyer has carved out a remarkable and unique niche in the musical world.

But there are reasons far more compelling than mere longevity to regard Elliott Carter as the most eminent of living American composers, and as one of the foremost composers in the world at large. His name has come to be synonymous with music that is at once structurally formidable, expressively extraordinary, and virtuosically dazzling: music that asks much of listener and performer INTRODUCTION alike but gives far more in return. Carter was born in New York and, except during the later years of his education, has always lived there. After college and some postgraduate study at Harvard, like many an aspiring American composer of his generation who did not find the training he sought at home, Carter went off to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger, an experience which, while enabling a necessary development of technique, also lent his work a conservative, neoclassical style for a time.
