  • Joseph Kuipers Is One of the Rare Musical Voices of Today: the Fresh Sincerity of His Playing, Combined with Technical Sovereignty Over the Instrument
    “Joseph Kuipers is one of the rare musical voices of today: the fresh sincerity of his playing, combined with technical sovereignty over the instrument. He draws a dark, singing sound out of his Ceruti Cello, and creates lines that seem to float effortlessly.” Berliner Abend Post American cellist Joseph Kuipers is renowned for his creativity and versatility in his captivating performances on both modern and gut strings. Appearing at festivals and music centers around the globe, he has performed at the Ravinia Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Les Festival International du Domaine Forget, Kronberg Academy, Ascoli Piceno Festival, Carl Orff Festival, and the World Cello Congress. Equally at home with modern and baroque performance styles, and often juxtaposing them in concert programs, Joseph has worked extensively with living composers, among them Robert Cogan, Heinz Holliger, Helmut Lachenmann and Arvo Part: and has performed with the Ensemble für Neue Musik Basel, Neue Musik Ensemble Mannheim, Second Instrumental Unit, New York, and the Callithumpian Consort of Boston. Joseph is the Artistic Director of the Fredericksburg Music Festival where world renowned European classical musicians gather in historic Fredericksburg TX for a week of music making. In 2010 Joseph founded the Marinus Project an international collective of chamber musicians dedicated to the tradition of classical music in our time. Marinus is the “Ensemble in Residence” at Washington and Lee University and Eastern University. In April 2011 the Marinus Ensemble received a $200,000 unrestricted artist development grant to further the Marinus Project. Joseph completed his undergraduate studies at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where his primary teachers were Paul Katz for cello and Pozzi Escot for composition.

  • Approaches to the Private Collector and Collection of Theatrical
    Private Passions, Public Archives: Approaches to the private collector and collection of theatrical ephemera in the context of the public theatre archive Eve Margitta Smith Department of Drama and Theatre Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Declaration of Authorship I, Eve Margitta Smith, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________27/09/2016 [2] Abstract This thesis considers the passions of the private collector of theatrical ephemera within the context of the public theatre archive. It interrogates the formation, the function, and the significance of the collection, foregrounding the idiosyncratic relationship between the collector and their collection. The eventual, though not inevitable, transition of a theatre collection from a private house to a public archive is interrogated throughout the thesis. The research concentrates on three theatre collections that have made the transition from a private space to the public archive: the Gabrielle Enthoven Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum; the Mander and Mitchenson Theatre Collection at the University of Bristol, and the Roy Waters Theatre Collection at Royal Holloway, University of London. Theoretical and critical approaches from the fields of theatre history and historiography, archive and museum studies, and the practice and psychology of collecting

  • The Beauties of Lucknow: an Urdu Photographic Album
    Journal of Journal of urdu studies 1 (2020) 141-176 URDU STUDIES brill.com/urds The Beauties of Lucknow: An Urdu Photographic Album Kathryn Hansen Professor Emeritus, Department of Asian Studies, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA [email protected] Abstract ʿAbbās ʿAlī of Lucknow published several volumes of photographs which were unique in being accompanied by text in English and Urdu. The Beauties of Lucknow (1874), an album of female performers and costumed actors from the Indar Sabhā, is attributed to him. Based on examination of the rare book in five archival locations, this article accounts for the variations among them. It distinguishes between the photographer’s authorial intentions and the agency of artisans, collectors, and others who altered the artifact at various stages. Comparison of the textual apparatus of the English and Urdu editions reveals the author’s mode of address to different audiences. The Urdu intro- duction, saturated with poetic tropes, provides insight into ways of viewing photo- graphs as formulated among the local cognoscenti. The article proposes that ʿAbbās ʿAlī’s book was meant as a private gift, as well as a publication for wider circulation. Keywords History of photography – ʿAbbās ʿAlī – Lucknow – female performers – Urdu theatre and drama 1 Introduction In 2014, a set of images from The Beauties of Lucknow, an Indian photographic album published in 1874, appeared online in Tasveer Journal from Bangalore. These photographs revived interest in early portraits of courtesans from the subcontinent, a topic of perennial fascination.

HAWTHORNE STRING QUARTET RONAN LEFKOWITZ and SI-JING HUANG, violins MARK LUDWIG, viola SATO KNUDSEN, cello MARTINU String Quartet No. 6 Allegro moderato Andante Allegro KRASA String Quartet, Opus 2 (1921) Moderato Prestissimo—Molto calmo—Volgare Molto lento e tranquillo Week 14 Notes on the Program Both of the composers on this program were Czech by birth, although Hans Krasa (1899-1944) was German-Jewish by heritage. Krasa remained primarily in his hometown of Prague, where he was very active in the artistic life of that city. He was deported to the Terezin concentration camp in 1942 and was killed in Auschwitz in October 1944. Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959) moved from Policka, the small town of his birth, first to Prague for study and to perform in the Czech Philharmonic, then in 1923 to France. He would never return to live in his homeland. He left France for the United States to wait out the war, having been blacklisted by the Nazis for trying to help his Czech compatriots, and later moved between the United States and Europe, but was unwilling to return to Czechoslovakia because of the Soviet occupation. He lived his last years in Switzerland. Krasa conceived of a performance of his work to be "accompanied" by the real- time creation of a work of visual art.
