  • Brisbane Baroque
    AUTUMN 2015 MUSICAL Wicked CABARET LA SOIRÉE SPECIAL EVENT Brisbane Baroque Celebrating three decades of storytelling Welcome Hello. 2015 is QPAC’s 30th anniversary and we invite you to celebrate this milestone with us. There is much on o er across our stages and outdoor venues, special programs that are the result of a number of wonderful partnerships with artists and companies we enjoyed collaborating with across three decades. One of the most rewarding things about creating art in Queensland is the responsive audiences who are keen to try new things. It goes without saying that you, our audiences, are critical to our work. The conversation that takes place between artists and audiences, in that space between the stage and auditorium is what makes live performance magical. It’s also why it is constantly changing. Feeling the energy in a room shift and respond to what is being played live in front of you is something that you have to be there to share in…there really is no substitute. Over the course of 30 years QPAC has become part of the fabric of the city and a touchstone in the lives of many of you, who saw your fi rst live performance here, graduated from university in the Concert Hall, or simply had an incredible night out here. I hope you feel QPAC belongs to your community and that you are able to join us in celebrating three decades of storytelling. Thank you.

One of the many misconception about country music is that its audience is strictly southern and rural; my northern urban working class family listened exclusively to country music.

  • CUL Keller Archive Catalogue
    HANS KELLER ARCHIVE: working copy A1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49 A1/1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49: independent work This section contains all Keller’s unpublished manuscripts dating from the 1940s, apart from those connected with his collaboration with Margaret Phillips (see A1/2 below). With the exception of one pocket diary from 1938, the Archive contains no material prior to his arrival in Britain at the end of that year. After his release from internment in 1941, Keller divided himself between musical and psychoanalytical studies. As a violinist, he gained the LRAM teacher’s diploma in April 1943, and was relatively active as an orchestral and chamber-music player. As a writer, however, his principal concern in the first half of the decade was not music, but psychoanalysis. Although the majority of the musical writings listed below are undated, those which are probably from this earlier period are all concerned with the psychology of music. Similarly, the short stories, poems and aphorisms show their author’s interest in psychology. Keller’s notes and reading-lists from this period indicate an exhaustive study of Freudian literature and, from his correspondence with Margaret Phillips, it appears that he did have thoughts of becoming a professional analyst. At he beginning of 1946, however, there was a decisive change in the focus of his work, when music began to replace psychology as his principal subject. It is possible that his first (accidental) hearing of Britten’s Peter Grimes played an important part in this change, and Britten’s music is the subject of several early articles.

    The Anniversaries of the October Revolution, 1918-1927: Politics and Imagery by Susan M. Corbesero B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 1985 M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 1988 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2005 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Susan Marie Corbesero It was defended on November 18, 2005 and approved by William J. Chase Seymour Drescher Helena Goscilo Gregor Thum William J. Chase Dissertation Director ii The Anniversary of the October Revolution, 1918-1927: Politics and Imagery Susan M. Corbesero, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 This dissertation explores the politics and imagery in the anniversary celebrations of the October Revolution in Moscow and Leningrad from 1918 to 1927. Central to Bolshevik efforts to take political and symbolic control of society, these early celebrations not only provided a vehicle for agitation on behalf of the Soviet regime, but also reflected changing popular and official perceptions of the meanings and goals of October. This study argues that politicians, cultural producers, and the urban public contributed to the design and meaning of the political anniversaries, engendering a negotiation of culture between the new Soviet state and its participants. Like the Revolution they sought to commemorate, the October celebrations unleashed and were shaped by both constructive and destructive forces. A combination of variable party and administrative controls, harsh economic realities, competing cultural strategies, and limitations of the existing mass media also influenced the Bolshevik commemorative projects.

    Feather Coat Yuan Zhuang A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts University of Washington 2021 Committee: Jeanne Heuving Joe Milutis Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Creative Writing and Poetics 1 ©Copyright 2021 Yuan Zhuang 2 University of Washington Abstract Feather Coat Yuan Zhuang Chair of the Supervisory Committee Jeanne Heuving School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences I take up the ancient Chinese folk story “Zhu-Qing,” told to me by my mother when I was a child and its story of a magical robe that I imaginatively came to remember as a feather coat. Whoever would put on this black feather coat would leave behind their earthly limitations and become a crow, flying high into the sky. I translate “Zhu-Qing” into American English and create two sagas of contemporary Chinese women who are transformed by the feather coat,” Celery Seed and Carrot Blossom” and “Flower with No Fragrance.” In “Underneath the Feather Coat,” I recount my research into “Zhu-Qing” and the volume of “strange” stories in which it was initially collected and consider the transformative effects of magic and fantasy. 3 Feather Coat Yuan Zhuang 4 Contents I. “Zhu-Qing” 6 II.
