I began a tradition of featuring faculty soloists as well as winners of the annual student Concerto Competition, now with an award offered by Olivas Music, providing the orchestra the opportunity to perform significant concerto literature as well as learning the art of accompanying. In 2012, I developed a new chamber orchestra called the “UTEP Virtuosi” focusing on significant string orchestra repertoire. I initiated a concert featuring music in movies and for stage in which that music is presented and integrated via multimedia with lectures and video. It has become the capstone event for the year featuring the artistry of faculty soloists and comments per classical music used in movies and music composed exclusively for that medium. Each year six performances are scheduled. Repertoire for each year covers all eras and styles.

  • Focus Festival
    FOCUS 2021 FESTIVAL FOCUS EXPLORANDO LOS CINCUENTA LOS EXPLORANDO FESTIVAL EXPLORANDO LOS CINCUENTA EL DESPERTAR DE LA MÚSICA ESPAÑOLA El Focus Festival nace queriendo convertirse en un espacio singular dentro de la programación habitual de la Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España: un lugar desde donde llamar la atención sobre un argumento concreto, proponer una escucha activa a partir de determinadas referencias o enfatizar el sentido integrador de la música cuando se percibe como fenómeno social. La prime- ra edición que ahora se presenta caminará «Explorando los cincuenta. El des- pertar de la música española», con el fin de acercarse a la vida musical de una década fundamental en la configuración de la modernidad artística española, un momento relevante en la consolidación de la cultura como espacio de libertad personal. Ya entonces la palabra festival implicaba un sentido de excepcionali- dad. La propia Orquesta Nacional, protagonista indiscutible en aquellos años bajo la dirección artística de Ataúlfo Argenta, la utilizó para definir algunos conciertos que siguen recordándose por su sentido referencial: el Festival Hindemith y el Festival Stravinski, que permitieron además la estancia en Es- paña de autores considerados entonces modelo de futuro. El Focus Festival los tiene presentes como fondo a la interpretación de la música española coe- tánea, incluyendo la de Cristóbal Halffter, Luis de Pablo, Antón García Abril y Juan Hidalgo. Ellos encarnan la audacia y altura de miras de una generación que se comprometió estéticamente, con alcance en ámbitos como la litera- tura, el cine y las artes plásticas. Muchos de ellos todavía están entre nosotros; son nonagenarios y su presencia es ejemplo de constancia y superación.

French Musical Broadcasting in 1939 – PLM – Christophe Bennet – May 2014 FRENCH MUSICAL BROADCASTING IN 1939 THROUGH A COMPARISON BETWEEN RADIO-PARIS AND RADIO-CITÉ by Christophe BENNET THE year 1939 leads us to conclude the annual panorama of the French musical broadcasting of the thirties, a panorama organized through the prism of two big stations of the public and private networks. We have seen that in 1938, while the influence of the Government was weighing even more on the public stations (without any improvement of the programs), the commercial stations, strengthened by several years of experience, were adapting their program schedules in accordance with the success of their new formulas. By responding to the expectations of their audience, those stations continue their action in 1939.

Beginning with its Renaissance ancestry as the dulcian, it developed during the Baroque period into an almost indispensable part of the ensemble. By 1700, it had achieved a permanent place in the continuo group, used as the bass foundation for trio sonatas and other larger works whenever the upper voices consisted of oboes. The double-reeds matched each other in pitch and timbre, and as time wore on further modifications in terms of bore and the addition of keys made it versatile enough to emerge from the shadow of the continuo group. The tone of the instrument by 1750 was smooth and mellow with a softer upper register, a solid middle, and a sonorous bass, with the capability by this date of descending down to a low B-flat.
