A young Mexican girl is covered in abstract blotches of purple, yellow, blue and green — almost as if she’d been erratically spray-painted. At fi rst look, the color is so captivating that the meaning is slow to penetrate: the colors of bruises in various stages of healing? She has a square choker around her neck, it seems like a piece of silver jewelry, but on it is embossed the sign of 1 peso. Her lips are parted and she stares out — in- nocence bought and sold, a commodity traffi cked like drugs. It is so compelling that it is hard to disengage.

He became a soloist at the Mariinsky Theatre in 2016. Mr. Trofimov has portrayed numerous leading roles including Boris Godunov (Boris Godunov), Philip II (Don Carlos), Procida (I vespri siciliani), Fiesco (Simon Boccanegra), Konchak (Prince Igor), Ivan Susanin (Life of the Tsar), Sobakin (Tsar’s Bride), Prince Yuri Vsevolodovich (The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevronia), Prince Gremin (Eugene Onegin), Ferrando (Il Trovatore), Don Bartolo (Le nozze di Figaro), and Old Hebrew (Samson et Dalila). Recent performances include Procida in Mariinsky’s new production of I vespri siciliani, Zaccaria in Nabucco at the opening of Arena di Verona Summer Festival, a tour with the Bolshoi Theatre as Archbishop in The Maid of Orleans in France, and performances at the Salzburg Festival as Priest in the new production of Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District.

  • Edgar Meyer Biography by IMG Artists - IMG Artists Imgartists.Com
    Edgar Meyer Biography by IMG Artists - IMG Artists imgartists.com Edgar Meyer In demand as both a performer and a composer, Edgar Meyer has formed a role in the music world unlike any other. Hailed by The New Yorker as “...the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument”, Mr. Meyer’s unparalleled technique and musicianship in combination with his gift for composition have brought him to the fore, where he is appreciated by a vast, varied audience. His uniqueness in the field was recognized by a MacArthur Award in 2002. As a solo classical bassist, Mr. Meyer can be heard on a concerto album with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra conducted by Hugh Wolff featuring Bottesini’s Gran Duo with Joshua Bell, Meyer’s own Double Concerto for Bass and Cello with Yo-Yo Ma, Bottesini’s Bass Concerto No. 2, and Meyer’s own Concerto in D for Bass. He has also recorded an album featuring three of Bach’s Unaccompanied Suites for Cello. In 2006, he released a self-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recorded all of the music, incorporating piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, gamba, and double bass. In 2007, recognizing his wide-ranging recording achievements, Sony/BMG released a compilation of “The Best of Edgar Meyer”. In 2011 Mr. Meyer joined cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile, and fiddler Stuart Duncan for the Sony Masterworks recording “The Goat Rodeo Sessions” which was awarded the 2012 Grammy® Award for Best Folk Album. As a composer, Mr. Meyer has carved out a remarkable and unique niche in the musical world.

  • 2018/19 Season Announcement
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT Meredith Kimball Laing 919.789.5484 [email protected] North Carolina Symphony’s 2018/19 Season Delivers Powerful Musical Narratives and Proves that Orchestral Music Is Thriving in the State Highlights Include Season-Opener with Violinist Joshua Bell; Cultural Preservation Project with Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians; Multimedia Collaboration with North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences; Live Recording with Grammy Winners; and Continued Commitment to New Music and Work of Women Composers RALEIGH, N.C. – The North Carolina Symphony is an indispensable part of North Carolina’s cultural narrative. Founded as America’s first statewide orchestra in 1932, and traveling 18,500 miles throughout the state to engage 250,000 people each year, NCS is committed to presenting artistically excellent performances that delight and inspire—and with ticket sales increasing 50% since 2010, it is clear that the Symphony is delivering on that promise. The 2018/19 season proves that orchestral music is thriving in North Carolina: NCS will collaborate with artists and organizations to present classical music experiences distinctive to North Carolina life; commission new works by North Carolina natives; perform masterworks in new contexts; and offer broad variety in its programming—in and outside of the concert hall— to develop new audiences. “Each work we present has a story to share, and our ever-present hope is that our audiences connect to these powerful musical narratives—whether it is the triumph in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, the humor in Strauss’ depiction of Don Quixote, or the history of North Carolina’s native people reflected in a new work,” says NCS Music Director Grant Llewellyn.

    In Memoriam Harold Francis McKinney May 28, 1917 – November 7, 2006 The Talented Tenth “The problem of education, then, among Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth: it is the problem of developing the best of this race that they may guide the mass away from the contamination of the worst, in their own and other races.” W.E.B. DuBois FOREWORD Generations “A term referring to an approximation between the age of parents and the time their children were born.” The issue is, what has ensued during the generational time span of 20-25 years and how prepared were and are parents to provide the necessary educational, emotional, spiritual, physical and economic assets required for the development of the oncoming generations? What have been the experiences, accomplishments and perhaps inabilities of the parent generation and how will this equation impact upon the newcomers entering the world? The constant quest for human development is hopefully not supplanted by neglect, per- sonal or societal and therefore the challenge for each generation; are they prepared for their “turn” at the wheel of anticipated progress? How does each generation cope with the accomplishments and deficiencies from the previ- ous generation, when the baton is passed to the next group competing in the relay race of human existence? Despite the challenge of societal imbalance to the generations, hope and effort remain the constant vision leading to improvement accompanied and reinforced by determination and possible occurrences of “good luck,” to assist the generations and their offspring, neigh- bors and other members of the human family, towards as high a societal level as possible, in order to preserve, protect and project the present and succeeding generations into posi- tions of leverage thereby enabling them to confront the vicissitudes of life, manmade or otherwise.
