Marion Ramsey Furness, daughter of Governor Ramsey, along with some music-loving friends, formed a club they called “The Ladies Musicale.” The first meetings were social gatherings with club members providing musical 130th Anniversary counterpoint. Concerts, lectures and study groups were soon organized, and before long the name was changed to honor composer Franz Schubert. In 1893, by adding the International Artist Series to its programs, the women began presenting some of the finest artists of the day—including the recital debuts in Saint Paul of Vladimir Horowitz in 1928, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in 1955, Leontyne Price in 1961, Mstislav Rostropovich in 1963, and Cecilia Bartoli in 1996, among many others. Following decades of musical collaboration, the venerable Music in the Park Series became part of The Schubert Club in 2010. Schubert Club audiences now total more than 30,000 people a year. Promoting music in education has long been an important part of The Schubert Club’s activities. The annual student scholarship competition, begun in 1922, awards more than $50,000 each year to young musicians. Project CHEER offers free piano and guitar lessons to families for whom music instruction would not otherwise be a priority. Additional special grants for music education are awarded annually to deserving young musicians. Ford Music Hall, at the corner of Saint Peter and Sixth The Schubert Club Museum, inaugurated in 1980 and Streets in downtown Saint Paul, was the location of remodeled and expanded in 2009 and has been visited by more The Schubert Club’s public concerts from 1893 to 1912. than 20,000 since then. It features both exotic and familiar The luxurious third-fl oor auditorium was known through musical instruments, historic keyboards, and letters from such the years variously as Conover Hall, Raudenbusch Hall famous composers as Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn. and The Odeon. The building was razed in the 1970s; the site is now a small park called Landmark Plaza. Today, nearly 130 years from its founding, The Schubert Club— no longer a club—has secured a prominent place among musical organizations. Its tradition of promoting the fi nest in musical arts continues into the twenty-fi rst century in its concerts, education programs, and museum. The Schubert Club is thriving. schubert.org 9 Elias Quartet Photo: Colin Bell Photo: Colin Baiba and Stephen Hough, piano Lauma Skride, violin and piano Borggreve Photo: Marco 2012-2013 Season International Artist Series Karita Mattila, soprano Wednesday, October 3, 2012 Stephen Hough, piano Tuesday, November 20, 2012 Alisa Weilerstein, cello Inon Barnatan, piano Tuesday, January 8, 2013 James Valenti, tenor Saturday, February 9, 2013 Philharmonia Karita Mattila, soprano Quartett Berlin Anne-Sophie Mutter, violin Lambert Orkis, piano James Valenti, tenor Anne-Sophie Mutter, violin Monday, March 11, 2013 Music in the Park Series Philharmonia Quartett Berlin Sunday, October 7, 2012 Baiba Skride, violin Lauma Skride, piano Sunday, October 28, 2012 Aulos Ensemble, with Dominique Labelle, soprano Sunday, November 25, 2012 David Finckel, cello Wu Han, piano Sunday, January 27, 2013 Elias Quartet Sunday, March 24, 2013 Shanghai Quartet Sunday, April 28, 2013 Photo: Tina Tahir / DG Tahir Photo: Tina Photo: Arturo Norbre Announcing the 2012-2013 Season • schubert.org 130th Anniversary Calendar of Events More information at schubert.org Box office 651.292.3268 February – April 2012 Thursdays, Febuary 16 – April 26 • 12:00 PM Courtroom Concert Landmark Center 317 February 2012 Wednesday, February 15 • 8:00 PM Ordway Center Grand Le Photo: Antoine Julia Fischer, violin & Milana Chernyavska, piano Friday, February 24 • 6:15 & 7:30 PM St. Matthew’s Episcopal Sandrine Piau Family Concert: Ross Sutter & Laura MacKenzie Sunday, February 26 • 4:00 PM St. Anthony Park UCC April 2012 Ysaÿe Quartet April 13, 14, 20, 21 • 8:00 PM The Cowles Center April 15, 22 • 2:00 PM March 2012 James Sewell Ballet & Parker Quartet Monday, March 12 • 7:30 PM Christ Church Lutheran Accordo Sunday, April 15 • 4:00 PM St. Anthony Park UCC Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio Tuesday, March 13 • 8:00 PM SPCO Center Menahem Pressler, piano: “A Life of Music” Mondays, April 16 & 23 • 7:30 PM James J.

  • Shanghai Quartet 2020-21 Biography
    SHANGHAI QUARTET 2020-21 BIOGRAPHY Over the past thirty-seven years the Shanghai Quartet has become one of the world’s foremost chamber ensembles. The Shanghai’s elegant style, impressive technique, and emotional breadth allows the group to move seamlessly between masterpieces of Western music, traditional Chinese folk music, and cutting-edge contemporary works. Formed at the Shanghai Conservatory in 1983, soon after the end of China’s harrowing Cultural Revolution, the group came to the United States to complete its studies; since then the members have been based in the U.S. while maintaining a robust touring schedule at leading chamber-music series throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Recent performance highlights include performances at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Freer Gallery (Washington, D.C.), and the Festival Pablo Casals in France, and Beethoven cycles for the Brevard Music Center, the Beethoven Festival in Poland, and throughout China. The Quartet also frequently performs at Wigmore Hall, the Budapest Spring Festival, Suntory Hall, and has collaborations with the NCPA and Shanghai Symphony Orchestras. Upcoming highlights include the premiere of a new work by Marcos Balter for the Quartet and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo for the Phillips Collection, return performances for Maverick Concerts and the Taos School of Music, and engagements in Los Angeles, Syracuse, Albuquerque, and Salt Lake City. Among innumberable collaborations with eminent artists, they have performed with the Tokyo, Juilliard, and Guarneri Quartets; cellists Yo-Yo Ma and Lynn Harrell; pianists Menahem Pressler, Peter Serkin, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Yuja Wang; pipa virtuoso Wu Man; and the vocal ensemble Chanticleer.

The members of Vox Nova Chorale and I are excited to present to you a program of some of our favorite choral music, touching on each musical period from Medieval to Modern, including new music presented by three emerging regional composers. You will hear how Western choral music has evolved from simple chant and plainsong into often more complex harmonies and textures. The mission of Vox Nova Chorale is to champion emerging composers, conductors, and singers, giving them an opportunity to work with outstanding choral clinicians. We were fortunate to have Dr. Matthew Culloton work with the conductors, Jocelyn Hagen with the composers, and Axel Theimer and Tesfa Wondemagegnehu with the entire choir. The clinicians held private lessons, rehearsed with the choir, and offered valuable insight to hone the skills of the musicians. This summer we are proud to have singers from eight regional colleges, including Gustavus Adolphus, Century College, Bethany Lutheran, St. Olaf, Luther, Concordia, Mankato State, and Augustana. We are grateful for our experienced singers, who mentor in their sections. Our Board consists of young people learning fundraising, marketing, and arts administration. In the fall of 2014, the Chorale was honored to be featured on a Minnesota Public Radio Regional Spotlight.
