    "If there were more Cynthia Phelpses around, there might be more viola recitals…she is a master of her instrument -- remarkable technique and warm, full sound." – THE WALL STREET JOURNAL "Not only does CYNTHIA PHELPS produce one of the richest, deepest viola timbres in the world, she is a superb musician" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Principal Violist of the New York Philharmonic, Ms. Phelps has distinguished herself both here and abroad as one of the leading instrumentalists of our time. The recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the Pro Musicis International Award and first prize at both the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and the Washington International String Competition, she has captivated audiences with her compelling solo and chamber music performances. She is "a performer of top rank...the sounds she drew were not only completely unproblematical --technically faultless, generously nuanced-- but sensuously breathtaking" (The Boston Globe). Ms. Phelps performs throughout the world as soloist with orchestras, including the Minnesota Orchestra, Shanghai, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Eastern Music Festival and Vermont Symphonies, Orquesta Sinfonica de Bilbao, and Rochester and Hong Kong Philharmonic among others. World-wide, her electrifying solo appearances with the New York Philharmonic garner raves; they have included Berlioz's Harold in Italy, the Bartok Viola Concerto, Strauss's Don Quixote, the Benjamin Lees Concerto for String Quartet, the premiere of a concerto written for her by Sofia Gubaidulina and most recently, the premiere of a new concerto by the young composer Julia Adolphe written for her. She has appeared as soloist with the orchestra across the globe, including Vienna’s Musikverein, London’s Royal Festival Hall, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam among others.

  • Solo List and Reccomended List for 02-03-04 Ver 3
    Please read this before using this recommended guide! The following pages are being uploaded to the OSSAA webpage STRICTLY AS A GUIDE TO SOLO AND ENSEMBLE LITERATURE. In 1999 there was a desire to have a required list of solo and ensemble literature, similar to the PML that large groups are required to perform. Many hours were spent creating the following document to provide “graded lists” of literature for every instrument and voice part. The theory was a student who made a superior rating on a solo would be required to move up the list the next year, to a more challenging solo. After 2 years of debating the issue, the music advisory committee voted NOT to continue with the solo/ensemble required list because there was simply too much music written to confine a person to perform from such a limited list. In 2001 the music advisor committee voted NOT to proceed with the required list, but rather use it as “Recommended Literature” for each instrument or voice part. Any reference to “required lists” or “no exceptions” in this document need to be ignored, as it has not been updated since 2001. If you have any questions as to the rules and regulations governing solo and ensemble events, please refer back to the OSSAA Rules and Regulation Manual for the current year, or contact the music administrator at the OSSAA. 105 SOLO ENSEMBLE REGULATIONS 1. Pianos - It is recommended that you use digital pianos when accoustic pianos are not available or if it is most cost effective to use a digital piano.

  • Northern Ireland Tour March 21 – 26
    WILLIAM WALTON An extravaganza in One Act based on the play by Anton Chekhov Northern Ireland Tour March 21 – 26 “There’s a real buzz and sense of purpose about what this company is doing” ~ The Guardian Welcome Welcome to this evening’s performance of The Bear. Tonight’s programme showcases not only a rarely performed jewel of an opera, but also brings to Northern Ireland three wonderful singers who are making a real name for themselves on the world stage. Anna Burford and Andrew Rupp are performing with NI Opera for the first time following recent engagements at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, and English National Opera. Those of you who saw our production of Tosca back in 2011 will remember John Molloy who sang the roles of Angelotti and Sciarrone then, and sings the role of Luka tonight. We are also delighted that some of Northern Ireland’s finest choirs are appearing in the first part of tonight’s programme, singing a selection of George Shearing’s beautiful Songs and Sonnets from Shakespeare. The combination of Northern Irish talent, internationally-renowned singers and innovative programming has been highly evident throughout our 2012/13 season, which draws to a close with this tour. From commissioning exciting new short operas from leading Irish composers and playwrights, to performing a children’s opera in Belfast Zoo and at the Beijing Music Festival, to bringing a home grown production of a Wagner opera to the Belfast stage for the first time ever, this has certainly been a year to remember. 2012/13 has also seen NI Opera make its debuts at the prestigious Buxton Festival and in the Irish Republic, whilst our programmes for nurturing the best young Irish talent – particularly our Young Artists’ Programme and our annual Festival of Voice in Glenarm – continue to prosper.

  • The Harmony of Debussy in Contemporary Jazz Brigham
    THE HARMONY OF DEBUSSY IN CONTEMPORARY JAZZ BRIGHAM PHILLIPS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY, 2018 © BRIGHAM PHILLIPS, 2018 ABSTRACT Claude Debussy and other late 19th-century composers (especially Maurice Ravel) introduced several new harmonic innovations that have since become standard tools of the jazz composer/arranger/improviser, among them the rich harmonies of chromatically altered chords as well as the use of the whole tone, pentatonic and octatonic scales. This thesis presents an original composition The Stanley Bridge Suite that demonstrates ​ ​ how these harmonic concepts are used in modern orchestral jazz. A brief history of impressionism is included, followed by a chapter showing the increasing prevalence of impressionist harmony in jazz over the years. Because The Stanley Bridge Suite was arranged for ​ ​ an orchestral jazz ensemble the makeup of the modern jazz orchestra is also discussed. The final chapter analyzes the thesis composition in detail, showing where and how the various Debussy techniques were incorporated in the work. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professors Al Henderson and Dr. Mark Chambers for their guidance and assistance. I would also like to acknowledge and thank my parents for giving me the gift of music and encouraging my choice to make a living as a professional musician. My father, recently deceased, always hoped I would pursue a Masters Degree in Music one day. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, daughter and son for encouraging me to go on this Masters journey and for putting up with my frequent absence from their lives while doing so.
