Thank you. Dear friends of North Suburban Symphony, Welcome to our final concert of 2012-2013. We’ve had a marvelous season on our musical tour that began with American music last October, German masters in November, Russian treasures in March, and now finishing up with our sampling of Italian classical music ranging from Vivaldi to Respighi. Please take home one of our bookmarks, which include next season’s schedule. It will be the orchestra’s 25th season and we have many special events scheduled as part of that celebration. Season tickets are now available for next year. Our first concert will be a reprise of the repertoire of the orchestra’s first concert and our second concert will include a 25th anniversary party. Not on the bookmark is our just-added Holiday Concert on Sunday, December 22, which will include many holiday favorites. In the second half of the season, we will be partnering with Lake Forest High School for our March concert and back in Gorton for our May performance. If you are interested and able, the North Suburban Symphony is looking for financial partners. In your program is a Contributor Form, which contains the details of how you can become involved with the orchestra. If you’re a musician and interested in playing, we often have openings; especially for string players. Please contact Maestro Arden ([email protected]) or me ([email protected]) for more information. Please join us after the concert in the atrium just outside the auditorium to celebrate another successful season with wine and cheese. Thank you for coming and enjoy the concert. R.

A “renaissance man” in the truest sense, for over 30 years he has performed, taught, and conducted as an artist of the first rank. Orchestral viola experience includes the Omaha Symphony and Chamber Orchestra, Lincoln Symphony, Houston Bach Society, Houston Grand Opera, The Florida Philharmonic, and Symphony of the Americas in Fort Lauderdale. Vocal/acting experience includes performance as a free- lance artist in Omaha, with Houston Grand Opera, and Class Act Broadway touring company of South Florida. Ron has taught private voice and viola in each of the cities mentioned above as well as being a featured teacher for Road Scholar Continuing Education programs annually since 1985. He is the owner and director of the Allegro String Quartet, presently teaches voice at Barrington High School, and has an active music studio at home. He and his wife toured the country for over 25 years and have three professional recordings from their concert ministry A Cross Between. They have two children, Nikolas and Ivan and reside in Zion, Illinois where Ron spent five years as Minister of Music, Worship, and Drama at Christ Community Church. Besides orchestrating worship there, he was the artistic director of the Zion Passion Play, Dean of the Zion Conservatory, and music director of the Zion Chamber Orchestra – twice awarded by the Illinois Council of Orchestras. In 2003 Ron helped found and became artistic director of FullScore Chamber Orchestra, an ensemble of professional singers and instrumentalists on Chicago’s North Shore. FullScore was the first orchestra invited to the renovated Genesee Theater in Waukegan to accompany national artists there. Ron is widely sought as a music director and works also as consultant on the arts in worship. Enjoying a diversity of performing and conducting experience, his reputation for instilling excellence and artistry into musicians is his deepest passion. From classical to Broadway, barbershop to gospel, Ron comfortably communicates the beauty in great music. Maestro Arden is music director/conductor of the North Suburban Symphony in Lake Forest/Lake Bluff, Illinois. This is his 6th season with the NSS where audiences have grown, orchestra members have increased, and the overall life of the orchestra has been seriously rejuvenated. With both FullScore and the NSS, Ron has celebrated the gifts of local artists and partnerships with local student ensembles and churches. In these celebrations he has been and continues to be an ambassador for music making that enlivens and educates the lives of others. Andrea Hanchey Pokrefke, Soprano, is native to Richmond, Virginia and graduated from James Madison University with a degree in Vocal Performance with a concentration in both classical and jazz music. Since coming to the Chicago area, she has performed as a soloist and choir member of The Apollo Chorus of Chicago, and currently as a soloist and choir member of The Morning Choir of Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago. Andrea is a featured soloist on the Apollo Chorus’s album Flights of Faith and also Fourth Presbyterian Church’s albums titled Light as well as the album Songs of Comfort and Hope. In addition to her classical performances, Andrea displays an entirely different style of music by performing with several other contemporary musical groups in the Chicago area. Andrea is the featured vocalist with the Kevin Cline Jazz Ensemble and is the lead singer for Chicago’s Standing Room Only Orchestra, one of the city’s premier Wedding Orchestras. In addition, she also sings and plays acoustic guitar in a group called Pettycash, a Tom Petty and Johnny Cash tribute group. She has also been featured in several radio spots, such as Clear Channel Radio, and has recorded with national artists such as the award winning songwriter Greg Adams. Carol Carpenter, Mezzo-Soprano, is from Ann Arbor Michigan and studied voice performance at the University of Michigan. Following her studies there, Carol spent two seasons singing at the Chautauqua Institute where her operatic repertoire included the role of the Sorceress in Dido and Aeneas (which she also has performed in Milwaukee, WI) and a favorite role, Dorabella in Cosi fan tutte. In Chicago, Carol is a professional chorister with the Morning Choir of Fourth Presbyterian Church and has presented numerous recitals in venues around the city. Having earned a master’s degree in theology at McCormick Seminary, Carol has used that experience together with her musical training in voice and flute to explore how spirituality and music together can be used in various contexts. In 2010, Carol was invited to Manipur, India, to be a visiting music teacher at the Lee Faith School in Imphal. There she taught singing classes and learned from the students some of the music native to this region of India. Reflecting her varied musical background, Ms.

Thus far, our first two Events, the Columbus Day Luncheon and the Welcome Back Lecture and Luncheon, have been well-attended as our snowbird members (like the storied Capistrano swallows) slowly make their way back here to Naples and Paradise. You should know that Ron Diorio, one of our first ICS members, has been busy this fall preparing a History of our organization which we will eventually place on our website for all to have. It will then be regularly updated. Equally busy has been Board member Kathleen Azzariti, who has organized three exciting and useful activities under the heading of Amicizia Groups. They include a Book Discussion group; a Travel Group where members discuss past and future trips to Italy: what to see, how to travel, etc., including trips to this year’s ICS area of interest, the Northwest Macro Region of Italy; and finally, there is the Family Legacy Group that exchanges memorabilia about one’s family, including recipes, photographs, scrap books and places of interest, and offers help writing family journals, and the like. A different member will lead each group at her home. All members are welcome to participate. You can always call Kathleen for the latest information at 239-304-0924 or email her at [email protected]. These activities have really taken off, so join in for the fun and the learning.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles From Community to Humanity: Dance as Intangible Cultural Heritage A dissertation completed in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Filip Petkovski 2021 © Copyright by Filip Petkovski 2021 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION From Community to Humanity: Dance as Intangible Cultural Heritage by Filip Petkovski Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2021 Professor Anurima Banerji, Co-Chair Professor Janet O’Shea, Co-Chair Abstract My dissertation project examines the gradual phases of recontextualizing, folklorizing, heritagizing, and choreographing dance in Macedonia, Serbia, and Croatia, and in the Former Yugoslavia in general. In order to demonstrate how dance becomes intangible cultural heritage, I combine UNESCO archival materials with ethnographic research and interviews with dancers, choreographers, and heritage experts. While I trace how the discourses around folklore and intangible cultural heritage were used in the construction of the Yugoslav, and later in the post- Yugoslav nation states, I also write about the hegemonic relationship between dance and institutions. I emphasize dance as a vehicle for mediating ideas around authenticity, distinctiveness, and national identity, while also acknowledging how the UNESCO process of safeguarding and listing culture allows countries such as Macedonia, Serbia, and Croatia to achieve international recognition. By studying the relationship between dance, archives, and UNESCO conventions, we can understand the intersection between institutions and issues ii around nationalism, but also how discourses of dance shifted dance production and reception in various historical and political contexts during and after the existence of the Yugoslav state.

  • New Findings of Sicilian Folk Songs in Luciano Berio´S Naturale1
    PIERMARTIRI, Leonardo. New Findings of Sicilian Folk Songs in Luciano Berio´s Naturale. Revista Vórtex, Curitiba, v.6, n.2, 2018, p.1-19 New Findings of Sicilian Folk Songs in Luciano Berio´s Naturale1 Leonardo Piermartiri2 Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina | Brazil Abstract: This paper gathers and analyzes information concerning Naturale, a work written by Luciano Berio in 1985 for viola, percussion and recorded voice, based on Sicilian folk songs. Several aspects surrounding Naturale’s creation are taken into consideration in this study: Berio’s compositional style and traits, the manner in which he relates his works one to another, what he sees in folk music and his own personal desire to intertwine art music and folk music. For Berio, Naturale is not an isolated venture into the realm of mixing folk music and his own avant-garde style; it is instead one of many works resulting from his long-standing relationship with folk music. Another essential aspect in this case is the study of the sources used by Berio to find the folk songs by which he was inspired. An interview with Maestro Aldo Bennici, the Sicilian violist for whom Naturale was composed, helped in the discovery of the usage of two more folk songs in a section of the piece, being their identification suggested in this paper. Keywords: Luciano Berio, Naturale, Sicilian Folk Songs, Alberto Favara, Aldo Bennici. 1 Submitted on: June 01st, 2018. Approved on: August 26th, 2018. 2 Leonardo Piermartiri has been adjunct professor of Violin and Viola at UDESC (Santa Catarina State University) since 2003.

    UNIVERSITÀ DI PISA – DIPARTIMENTO DI CIVILTÀ E FORME DEL SAPERE INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME IN HUMANITIES – 2019/20 ITALIAN MUSIC Fall 2019 Instructor: dr. Carlo Lanfossi [2.15 pm – 6.45 pm] Office Hours: Thursdays, 12:30-13:30 [Aula PAO B2 – Palazzo Carità Via Pasquale Paoli, 15 – second floor] COURSE DESCRIPTION What is “Italian” about Italian music? What do Italians think about their own music, and what is its image/sound abroad? The course aims to answer these questions by engaging with several musical genres (opera, instrumental, pop music, film music, folk), discussing interconnected topics (politics, economy, culture, and so on) and listening to a wide variety of music. Classes will feature lectures, group discussions, brief assignments, and guided listenings. No previous knowledge of music theory is requested. There will also be an opportunity to attend an actual performance of an opera at the Teatro di Pisa. Italian music is engrained in public and private rituals and connects people across the world and across the vast community of history. Yet while we know that we like Italian music, and that it has a certain effect on us, it is often difficult to determine why, and harder still to explain what it is that makes its sound “Italian”. This course takes on those issues. It aims to introduce you to a variety of music, and a range of ways of thinking, talking, and writing about Italian music. We will explore music as a cultural phenomenon, considering what music has meant for different people from different societies across the ages and across geographical boundaries.

  • AMICI Volume 16 Issue 1
    Fall 2014 VOLUME 16 ISSUE 1 ICS President’s Perspective Cari amici, Sixteen years ago ICS was founded with a unique mission: to bring together people who share a common interest in Italian culture and want to enrich their appreciation of the Arts and Culture of Italy. In their wisdom, the founders were very careful to delineate exactly how this was to be accomplished: The Society shall sponsor programs related to various aspects of Italian culture including: the Italian language, visual and performing arts, films, travel, literature and history, as well as social events such as luncheons and dinners. In our continued effort to carry out this mission our Planning Committee and Board have put together an outstanding Season of events. This year we will highlight Naples and the Campania region. Two of our programs will explore the history, art and myths of treasured sites of the region. Another program is dedicated to the artist Bernini, who was born in Naples and went on to become one of the greatest sculptors and architects in the world. There will be two concerts this year. The first in January will feature Neapolitan and Opera favorites by a cast of international musicians. I am especially excited that we have been able to bring in a young tenor who lives in Puglia, Italy to perform Neapolitan Songs at this event. The second concert will take place in April as part of the Arts Naples World Festival. We will present a program of familiar Italian Classical music which will be open to our members and the public at large.
