The strong bonds we have seen develop investing in young people from rising nations like Brazil are exactly what I had hoped for. Classical music has always becomes paramount. Classical music needs the stories and energy of a new generation of talent just as much as they need it. In 2015, we watched a group of extraordinary talents begin to make their mark, accepted into some of the best The theme of the 2016 conservatories in the world and winning new jobs. This is all very impressive, but what matters most are the changes festival was “This is not easily measured, the understanding, respect, spread of generosity and goodwill that come from pursuing a musical life. Music makes it happen. for you!” and indeed, There has been such an outpouring of generosity in all kinds of ways from around the world and I am so deeply in everything we do, grateful. Our new relationship with our partners, the Minerva Arts Foundation and Cultura Artística, is very exciting and it’s we want to serve and very special to me that much of this year’s festival was funded by individuals who care about social progress through music. connect people. It’s humbling to be a part of it all and I can’t wait for what comes next. Vamos!

HE GAINED ADMITTANCE TO THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO AT 16, AND LATER MOVED TO WORK IN THE ACADEMY OF THE ORCHESTRA OF THE STATE OF SÃO PAULO. HE IS CURRENTLY PREPARING FOR AUDITIONS IN EUROPE, WHERE A NUMBER OF ACCLAIMED PROFESSORS HAVE INVITED HIM TO APPLY. “You know, I didn’t expect that I would be a violinist or start to learn music because I live in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, a community of poor people, and there aren’t many opportunities to study. One day, a complete stranger knocked on our door and asked me - ‘Do you want to play the violin?’ – just like that. And I thought, wow, God gave me an opportunity to study violin. I’d never even heard of the violin before. He was from a social project that was starting with children in the community from the favela, and he was searching for children in the streets. At first I was like, no, I don’t want to do that, I think it’s for girls! But then my mother said, you should try it because it’s free, so you should just go and see if you like it, and if you don’t like it, then okay. So at first I just tried it for one week and then I kept going… and now I’m here. I was twelve when I The musical started so I have always tried my best, and practiced twice as hard to make up for lost time.

But we lunch together, we have global standards. dinner together, we do everything together.” 05 Ilumina 2016 Annual Report Ilumina is efficient: Working with a small group of musicians allows us to hone in on those lives and careers we can significantly impact. Participating in Ilumina has already opened doors for a professional career or studying abroad, at some of the world’s leading conservatories and institutions, for over half of our fellows. The festival’s focus on chamber music perfectly intertwines with its educational and social objectives. In a small ensemble, every individual matters.

  • 25. Mai 2015 Programm Grusswort Der Gastgeber
    22. - 25. MAI 2015 PROGRAMM GRUSSWORT DER GASTGEBER Wir möchten Sie hier auf der Brunegg herzlich willkommen heissen. Esther Hoppe und Jürg Dähler haben mit ihren Kolleginnen und Kollegen ein Programm zusammengestellt, das schon bei der ersten Ankündigung begeisterte Kommentare ausgelöst hat. Wir freuen uns mit Ihnen auf ein hervorragendes musikalisches Erlebnis. Bis anhin hatten wir die Räumlichkeiten stets nur für private Anlässe benützt. Dass nun die Öffentlichkeit Zutritt hat, ist vollkommen neu, und wir wollen damit eine neue Tradition beginnen. Da wir hier unser privates Wohnen eingerichtet haben, bitten wir Sie um Verständnis, wenn Sie keinen Zutritt in unsere Wohnräume erhalten. Diese stehen übrigens zum Teil den Künstlern zur Verfügung. Brunegg war seit dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts im Besitz der Familie Hünerwadel von Lenzburg und gelangte durch die Heirat von Marie Pauline mit Adolf von Salis, dem Vater von Jean Rudolf von Salis, in unsere Familie. Es wurde im Sommer sehr lebhaft zu geselligem Zusammensein genutzt; es wurde gewohnt, gespielt, geschrieben und diskutiert. Wir selber haben seit den 1990er Jahren Renovations- und Umbauarbeiten machen lassen; die Unterburg erhielt zwei moderne Wohnungen und den Festraum in der Tenne. Das Schloss oben und die Gartenanlagen wurden tiefgreifenden Restaurierungen und Erneuerungen unterzogen; die gesamte Anlage wurde von einem halb ruinenhaften in den heutigen, bequem bewohn- und bespielbaren Zustand umgewandelt. Wir hoffen, dass Sie das mit uns geniessen können und wünschen Ihnen ein gelungenes Pfingstfestival!

  • Wigmore Hall Summer Brochure 2015
    !"# APRIL – JULY 2015 Welcome Keith Saunders John Butt and the Dunedin Consort shed fresh light on Bach’s St John Passion in their revelatory recording, hailed by Gramophone for its ‘naturalness and emotional honesty’. They bring their vision of the work to Wigmore Hall for a special Holy Week performance, projecting the vivid drama of Christ’s betrayal and suffering, and the profound humanity of Bach’s response to it. Andreas Scholl has inspired countless new listeners to fall in love with lesser-known works. His artistry reveals the timeless qualities of great music from the distant past, restoring the rhetorical power and emotional impact of pieces conceived for star performers of eighteenth-century Europe. Scholl’s latest Wigmore Hall programme explores the vitality of Italian cantatas by three masters of the genre and frames their work with the seductive songs of Venetian gondoliers. Formed 70 years ago, soon after the Second World War, the Borodin Quartet has become synonymous with the works of Shostakovich and Beethoven. The ensemble’s latest Wigmore Hall series offers a complete cycle of the two composers’ string quartets, works deeply inscribed in the group’s collective DNA. Our season-long Paul Lewis: A Celebration continues when the much-loved English pianist partners Allan Clayton in a work of timeless musical beauty and artistic truth. Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin, which was first performed at Wigmore Hall in 1903, explores a young man’s love, despair, contemplation of death and ultimate recognition of impermanence. Benjamin Ealovega Body and soul are united in Martin Fröst’s intensely focused approach Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent became pioneers of to making music.

MOSS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 by Kirk D. Moss Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version––UK) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful to each member of my committee: Drs. Raymond Chobaz, Russell Robinson, Charles Hoffer, Phillip Clark, and Timothy Brophy, chair. The courses taught and mentorship offered by these individuals have shaped my thinking and influenced my career. I count it a privilege to earn my doctorate from the University of Florida (Gainesville). I am indebted to the nine studio pedagogues who freely contributed their expertise and time to participate in this study: Brian Lewis, Stephen Shipps, Shi-Hwa Wang, Kathryn Plummer, Marilyn Seelman, Tanya Lesinsky Carey, Jeffrey Solow, Lawrence Hurst, and William Ritchie. Likewise, I wish to thank the nine school orchestra teachers for field-testing the exercises with their students: Michael Certalic, Natalie Colbert, Brian Cole, Beth Gilbert, Cathie Hudnall, Ray Ostwald, Steven Reed, Bill Robinson, and Greg Rochford. Finally, I acknowledge the unfailing support and encouragement of my wife, Deb, and our three children: Bethany, Luke, and Lydia. They share the intangible rewards of this project only indirectly and have for too long shared me with my books and laptop computer.

  • Ilumina: Building the Top of the Pyramid
    What would happen if we actually found the greatest talent waiting in the world? At this moment, hundreds of thousands of kids from the toughest neighborhoods in South America are learning to play instruments. The vast majority come from low income areas and begin in social projects funded by the state or churches. The result is an incredible talent finding system, revealing elite level musical potential despite incredible odds. The best of these move on to local youth orchestras and national social projects, but without intervention and information, kids from this background are very unlikely to make it to the world stage. A glass ceiling is firmly fixed. Classical music presents a unique path of possibility for social and economic development. A global industry with organized and well-compensated opportunity, a talented person could make the leap from a life where they might earn $10 a day to a salary of $50-100,000 with benefits. Connections to excellent training and mentorship as early as possible are crucial. The current situation in South America is a perfect storm for extraordinary social and musical advances. One musician with good information can go on to teach hundreds of others, creating pathways of economic and artistic possibility for scores of future musicians from less privileged backgrounds. Large entry level musical social projects are wonderful things. But without access to top level opportunity and the creation of leaders for the future, their promise is not fully fulfilled. Ilumina: Building the top of the pyramid. Using a unique and efficient pyramid model, since 2015 Ilumina has found South America’s best young musical talents, ensuring they meet their potential through on the ground mentorship, engagement with leading international artists, and supporting them to audition and be accepted to the world’s best conservatories.
