  • Violinoctet Violin First European Quintet Performs
    ViolinOctetOctet New Voices for the 21st Century Volume 2, Number 6 Spring 2007 First European Quintet Performs says that van Laethem likes to participate in new and unusual concerts and performance set- tings, which gave Wouters the idea that van Laethem might be interested in the octet in- struments, which he was. Van Laethem is also a teacher at the Academie voor Muziek en Woord in Mol, and took it upon himself to fi nd others who would like to play the new instruments in concert. Jan Sciffer, who played the alto, is the cello in- structor at the Academy. All the other performers were stu- dents. The performers were enthusias- tic about the new instruments, and although the performance was planned to be a single event, the payers want to keep on playing them. A quintet of New Violin Family instruments in rehearsal in Belgium. (l to r) Bert van Laethem, soprano; Eveline Debie, mezzo; Jan Sciff er, alto; Jef Kenis, tenor; and Greg Brabers, baritone. The concert took place on February 10, 2007 at to Belgium via email; “Purcell’s Fantasia on One 8:00 p.m. in the Saint Peter and Paul Church in Note,” and the aria from Bach’s Cantata 124. Mol, Belgium, a small city about 40 km east of Antwerp. There were an estimated 200 people Before the ensemble played, the director of the attending, most of whom were local residents of school gave a short introduction. Wouters says it Mol.

  • A Healing Return to the Stage for the Canton Symphony Orchestra by Tom Wachunas
    A Healing Return to the Stage for the Canton Symphony Orchestra by Tom Wachunas Reasons to be cheerful: they’re back! The May 23 concert by the Canton Symphony Orchestra marked the first time in more than a year that the ensemble has performed live at Umstattd Performing Arts Hall. This occasion was certainly an important step on the road back to cultural “normalcy” as we recover from the dreadful pandemic shutdown. For a May 21 article by Ed Balint in The Repository (Canton’s daily newspaper), CSO president and CEO Michelle Charles said of the concert, “That’s what we do, that’s what we love and that’s why we exist, to perform music live. You do take for granted how readily available (classical music) is until it’s not. So I think it’s going to be very emotional.” Noting the special significance of the concert to Gerhardt Zimmermann, CSO music director and conductor since 1980, she added, “It’s been so long, and Canton has held a special place in his heart for many, many years. I think it’s going to be more emotional for him than anyone.” The emotional factor becomes even more resonant when considering Zimmermann’s own battle with coronavirus which led to weeks of hospitalization and rehabilitation in 2020. He’s still not at optimal strength, and consequently conducted the program while seated on a raised platform. This short concert (with no intermission) was an altogether unique sensory experience, and not a CSO business-as-usual affair. Zimmermann chose just two works to be on the program: Mendelssohn’s String Octet, and Mozart’s Symphony No.
