Or, have you gathered memories from others and put them in a notebook, perhaps for a school reunion or organization's anniversary? Maybe you've prepared a family cookbook that in- cludes recipes as well as food memories and photos. This gathering is an opportunity to share your work and accomplishments and be a resource for others who have considered embarking upon a story project. Participants will be able to see and learn about different ap- proaches. Come for all or part. Be inspired, get motivated, and—for those who have finished products—feel proud about what you have achieved. “Personal historians” Rae Jean Sielen and Ginny Petersen will be available to brainstorm with attendees and to provide tips and guidance for getting started or making progress on current endeavors. Assistants will be avail- able to watch over displays so participants can also mingle and learn. In addition, Rae Jean will convene and moderate a panel where authors and project coordinators will respond to her requests for information and descriptions of their work. Although panelists will not be asked to read from their works, attendees may share content one-to-one with each other. Please, no book sales. The focus of this gathering is to share ideas and information for small-scale, non commer- cial ("private") publishing initiatives—anything from material safeguarded in a 3-ring binder to a professionally produced and hardbound book. Though not required, we would appreciate RSVPs from individuals planning to attend. Those wishing to display their work must reserve a space in advance, by September 1, by calling Rae Jean or Ginny at 599-3830. After that date, display space only on a “space-available basis.” Ms. Sielen has presented publishing and story-preservation workshops since 1995, including several at OLLI. As co-owner of Populore, a local small business, she has helped numerous individuals, families, and organizations tell and save their stories in print. Ms. Petersen has been working on family genealogy and family history projects for a number of years, and provides such services at Populore.

  • Pittsburgh Opera NEWS RELEASE
    EMBARGO until 2/17/08 Pittsburgh Opera NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: BETH PARKER (412) 281-0912 X 248 [email protected] PHOTOS: MAGGIE JOHNSON (412) 281-0912 X 262 [email protected] Pittsburgh Opera Announces 2008-2009 Season: “A Journey of Imagination” Pittsburgh, PA (2/17/08) . Pittsburgh Opera announces its 2008-2009 season, “A Journey of Imagination” at the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts. Artistic Director Christopher Hahn says, “One of the wonderful things about opera is that it has the power to take us out of our ordinary lives into another world. This season we visit the ancient Middle East for Samson & Dalila, sunny Italy for Don Pasquale, the Latin Quarter of Paris for La bohème, and Jazz Age North Africa for The Italian Girl in Algiers.” Another important journey for the company is The Grapes of Wrath, a new opera by Ricky Ian Gordon and Michael Korie based on John Steinbeck’s classic American novel. Pittsburgh Opera’s Music Director, Antony Walker, who conducts three mainstage operas in the upcoming season, says, “This season showcases the incredible diversity of offerings that Pittsburgh Opera is now able to produce—bel canto comedies, French grand opera with all the trappings and Puccini’s huge Romantic score, as well as this wonderful new piece that so successfully fuses American popular music with grand operatic style.” SEASON HIGHLIGHTS • October 18-26, 2008: Saint-Saëns’ Samson & Dalila starring the incomparable mezzo- soprano Stephanie Blythe as Dalila, dramatic tenor Mark Lundberg as Samson, and Metropolitan Opera baritone Kim Josephson as the High Priest of Dagon.

  • Otello Before They Attend
    Welcome to Manitoba Opera This Study Guide has been created to assist you in preparing your students for their visit to the opera. It is our hope that you will be able to add this to your existing curriculum in order to expand your students’ understanding of opera, literature, history, and the fine arts. Materials in the Study Guide may be copied and distributed to students. Some students may wish to go over the information at home if there is insufficient time to discuss in class. Make the opera experience more meaningful and enjoyable by sharing with them knowledge and background on opera and Otello before they attend. Please Note: The Dress Rehearsal is the last opportunity the singers will have on stage to work with the orchestra before Opening Night. Since vocal demands are so great on opera singers, some singers choose not to sing in full voice during the Dress Rehearsal in order to preserve their vocal chords and avoid unnecessary strain.

Hawaii Opera Theatre If one is familiar with his Organ Symphony or piano concertos, it is immediately in its 45th season, apparent that his musical idiom is dramatic at its core. The dancing elements of inspiring us with works Samson are dramatically gripping, and the opening confrontation with Abimelech, of the highest caliber and the doomed temple scene also provide plenty of dramatic possibility. But the "hidden" dramatic possibilities of the score really reside in the tension that exists in and helping to make scenes where things are about to happen. Dalila’s various temptations of Samson Honolulu the are a classic example of how the operatic form freezes a moment in time and then artistic center comments and expands upon the situation. of the Pacific. Opera allows for this convention in a way that no other medium does. Because of this device, we as an audience have time to closely observe Samson’s struggles between the carnal and the sacred in a most riveting way.

    A CRITICAL OVERVIEW OF CLASSICAL MUSIC IN HAMILTON A CRITICAL OVERVIEW OF CLASSICAL MUSIC IN HAMILTON By TINA ANGELA DEPKO, BJ./MUSIC A Critical Portfolio Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Master ofArts McMaster University © Copyright by Tina Angela Depko, April 2005 MASTER OF ARTS (2005) McMaster University (Music Criticism) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: A Critical Overview ofClassical Music in Hamilton AUTHOR; Tina Angela Depko, B.J./Music (Carleton University) SUPERVISOR; Professor Paul Rapoport NUMBER OF PAGES; vi, 133 ii ABSTRACT Many people consider Hamilton a slightly distant suburb ofToronto, as well a city reliant on a struggling steel industry. Those interested in the arts may question what kind ofclassical music scene could exist in such a locale. This critical portfolio strives to answer this question, demonstrating that Hamilton possesses a rich classical music scene. The focus on seven local organizations supports this conclusion. These are Opera Ontario, the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, chamberWORKS!, Symphony Hamilton, the John Laing Singers, the Bach Elgar Choir, and the Canadian Orpheus Male Choir. Through detailed background articles on each ofthese organizations, including examinations oftheir past, present and future, the issues affecting each are brought to the forefront, as are the attempts to fmd solutions. Reviews ofconcerts by each ofthe musical institutions reveal how well each is succeeding in producing high-quality events. An introductory essay sets the economic and demographic scene ofHamilton, with emphasis on how its characteristics affect the organizations. Parallels are drawn among issues affecting the seven groups, such as declining government grants and aging audiences.

  • Lotte Lehmann & Her Legacy Vol. V ARIAS
    MASTER CLASSES Lotte Lehmann & Her Legacy Vol. V ARIAS Gary Hickling MASTER CLASSES Lotte Lehmann & Her Legacy Vol. V ARIAS Gary Hickling i Introduction L otte Lehmann’s legacy in recordings, films, and writing offers as much fascination now as many years ago, and it’s a joy to discover how today’s technology allows access to much of it. Thus it has been my privilege to meld pieces of her legacy (in this case her master classes) into its own art form, a celebration worthy of her charisma and creativity. This Volume V of the series offers Lehmann’s teaching in opera master classes and a few private lessons. You can access the individual arias, opera scenes, and operas presented here in the Index. It’s alphabetized by composer, the opera’s title, as well as the aria’s title. Volume III offers individual songs, Lieder, mélodie. Volume IV provides the song cycles. Lehmann gave master classes beginning right after her farewell recital in 1951. They began at the MAW; then CalTech, Pasadena, California; University of Southern California; Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois (41 classes); Jordan Hall, New England Conservatory, Boston; Mount Allison University, Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada; Town Hall, New York City; Wigmore Hall, London (at least 26 classes); Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, Missouri; College of Creative Studies, UCSB (at least 10 classes); Vienna, and Salzburg. In a press release for the 1967 Northwestern University master classes, the following sentence appears: “She does not want to turn her students, she says, ‘into a dozen other Lehmanns…I have always enough trouble with this one.’” This can be a motto for all that she was striving for.
