  • THE SOUND of MUSIC Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles
    experienceL.A. THE SOUND OF MUSIC Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles THE SOUND OF MUSIC The Sound of Music is a stage and film musical based on The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, the memoir of Maria von Trapp. The story takes place in Austria at the brink of World War II. Maria, a plucky nun turned governess, is charged with caring for the seven children of a military captain. Maria’s delightful teaching of music to the children leads to their becoming a celebrated touring act, the innocence of which is shattered as the realities of Nazi rule become inescapable. Notably, many details of the von Trapp family story were changed to increase the dramatic impact of the musical version. Inspired by a pair of German films about the von Trapps from the mid-1950s, the stage version of The Sound of Music premiered on Broadway in 1959. The production won multiple Tony Awards, and the show has been revived many times since, including a renowned 1998 Broadway revival. The 1965 film version starring Julie Andrews won five Academy Awards and is still beloved today by viewers around the world. Written by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the songs of The Sound of Music—including “My Favorite Things,” “Do, Re, Mi,” “Edelweiss,” and the title song—have been celebrated for more than half a century. RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN Composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein were one of the most prolific, successful songwriting teams in the history of musical theatre. The pair’s first collaboration, Oklahoma! (1943), marked the start of a new theatrical genre: the musical play, which combined elements of musical comedy, operetta, and drama.

Il s’agit d’une œuvre complète, qui illustre l’appétit créatif de Thomas Lauderdale, fondateur du groupe, depuis 15 ans: en plus d’of- frir une perspective originale sur le passé d’un groupe devenu aujourd’hui incontournable, elle comprend 7 morceaux inédits (dont «Moon River», en duo avec Gus Van Sant). Savant mé- lange de sonorités et de cultures de tous horizons, la musique de Pink Martini est un cocktail à déguster sans modération. L’aventure Pink Martini débute en 1994, dans l’Oregon. Origi- nellement centré autour de Thomas M. Lauderdale et China Forbes, le groupe aux inspirations et collaborations multiples chante en anglais, français, mais aussi espagnol, italien, japo- nais, croate… Leur style musical, éclectique, passe «d’une samba digne d’une parade à Rio de Janeiro à la musique d’un cabaret français des années 30 ou d’un palais napolitain, un peu comme une sorte de voyage musical urbain», d’après les mots de Thomas Lauderdale. «On essaye de créer une sorte de char- mant environnement musical, dont on peut augmenter ou bais- ser le volume, et jouer en toute occasion, ou presque: musique d’ambiance, aventure amoureuse ou quand on passe l’aspira- teur chez soi!».

    BROADCAST TELEVISION AND RADIO IN Rural Communities More than other demographics, rural communities within the United States continue to rely on free and local broadcast stations. Through broadcast stations, Americans in rural communities receive their news, weather, sports and entertainment at a local level. As such, broadcast television and radio remain a vital and irreplaceable resource to rural individuals across the United States. Rural Population Across the U.S. Rural America accounts for 72 percent of the United States’ land area and 46.1 million people.1 Maine and Vermont are the most rural states, with nearly two-thirds of their populations living in rural areas. The southern region of the U.S. contains nearly one-half (46.7 percent) of the rural population, with 28 million people residing in rural areas in these states.2 Broadcast Television The number of broadcast-only households in the United States continues to rise, jumping nearly 16 percent from 2016 to 2017.3 More than 30 million American households, representing over 77 million individuals, receive television through over-the-air broadcast signals.4 Over-the-Air Television Penetration in Rural Areas Americans in small television markets that include rural areas depend on over-the-air broadcasting at greater levels than the general American population.

    HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL sound of Music SOUND OF MUSIC Maria Augusta Kutschera von Trapp (1905 to 1987) Biography Maria Augusta Kutschera - born on a train heading from her parents' village in Tyrol to a hospital in Vienna, Austria - was an orphan by her seventh birthday. She graduated from the State Teachers College for Progressive EducationP1 in Vienna at age 18, in 1923. She entered Nonnberg Abbey, a Benedictine (Roman Catholic) monastery in Salzburg, intending to become a nun.r4J While still a school teacher at Nonnberg Abbey, she was asked to teach one of the seven children of widowed naval commander Georg Ludwig von Trapp and bis first wife, Agathe Whitehead von Trapp, who had died from scarlet fever. Maria and Georg were married on 26 November l 92i2U1J. In 1935, Trapp lost his fortuneP1 which had been safely invested in a bank in London. The Captain, to help a Mrs. Lammer - a fi:iend in the banking business - had withdrawn the money from the English bank and deposited it in Mrs. Lammer's bank, which promptly failed. Austria had been experiencing economic difficulties as a result of German pressure and other factors. To survive, the Trapps sent away most of their servants, moved into the top floor of their home, and rented the empty rooms to students of the Catholic University. The Archbishop sent Father Franz Wasner to stay with them as their chaplain and the family began turning its love of music into a career. 5 After performing at a festival in 1935, they became a popular touring act.

Keeping up with planning and pacing of both types of instruction has posed challenges for students/families and teachers.
