  • 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.

  • Maddie Deseret
    October 14, 2019 All 4 ‘Voice’ judges rejected Maddie Poppe. Then she won ‘American Idol’ Poppe, who visits Salt Lake City on Oct. 14 with Ingrid Michaelson, is learning how to blaze her own trail SALT LAKE CITY — Maddie Poppe sang her heart out auditioning for “The Voice,” and not a single judge turned for her. Not Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton or Pharrell Williams. “I was totally rejected on national TV and it was really embarrassing,” the 21-year-old Poppe recently told the Deseret News. “It was so discouraging, and I thought, ‘Man, if these people don’t like me, then no one will.’” “The Voice” gave her a “no,” and “American Idol” was in its farewell season that year. Poppe thought her shot at reality TV was over — and so did the lady who read her palm on a summer afternoon in Lake George, New York. “She straight up looked me in the eyes after reading my palm and she said, ‘You will never be on another TV show again.’” But “American Idol” came back in 2018, and Poppe took a chance. Defying the palm reader’s prophecy, she auditioned for “Idol” judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, singing “Rainbow Connection” from “The Muppet Movie.” And she won them over. “You have that storytelling voice,” Richie told her with a smile. “Storytelling is the best thing in the world. I have a career based off of it. We need you in this show.” The indie-pop/folk singer went on to win season 16 of “American Idol.” As a small-town girl from Iowa, Poppe said the victory showed her that fame and fortune is possible “no matter where you come from.” It also showed her not to take palm readings so seriously.

  • 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.

  • Reach Media Decision Makers Who Read and Are Engaged with Every Issue of the Sternberg Report
    August 2019 #71 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ More on Those Ineffective Network Promos By Steve Sternberg In the era of Peak TV, with more viewing choices available than ever before, it takes viewers longer to even become aware of a new series, much less start watching it. This makes effective on-air promotion (still the best way to create such awareness) more important than ever. The broadcast networks’ lack of effective new series promotion is stunning. Regular readers of The Sternberg Report know how I feel about this, and it warrants being repeated over and over again, until the broadcast networks listen – and act accordingly. They should be allies, trying to help one another develop hits, and fighting their real competitors – everyone else. The ad industry, whose fortunes rely in large part to strong ad-supported media, should be encouraging this at every turn. When a network comes up with a new successful show, such as This is Us, Empire, Good Doctor, or Young Sheldon, it benefits all of them, and reminds the industry that despite headlines (and reality) about audience declines, the broadcast networks are still the strongest platform for original scripted video content. The idea that the broadcast networks will gladly accept advertising from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video but not from one another remains one of the most ludicrous aspect of this business and is akin __________________________________________________________________________________________ Reach media decision makers who read and are engaged with every issue of The Sternberg Report.
