    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: June 13, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] NUVEEN INVESTMENTS EMERGING ARTIST VIOLINIST JULIA FISCHER JOINS THE CSO AND RICCARDO MUTI FOR JUNE SUBSCRIPTION CONCERTS AT SYMPHONY CENTER June 16 – 21, 2016 CHICAGO—Internationally acclaimed violinist Julia Fischer returns to Symphony Center for subscription concerts with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) led by Music Director Riccardo Muti on Thursday, June 16, at 8 p.m., Friday, June 17, at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, June 18, at 8 p.m., and Tuesday, June 21, at 7:30 p.m. The program features Brahms’ Serenade No. 1 and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D Major with Fischer as soloist. Fischer’s CSO appearances in June are endowed in part by the Nuveen Investments Emerging Artist Fund, which is committed to nurturing the next generation of great classical music artists. Julia Fischer joins Muti and the CSO for Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Widely recognized as the first “Romantic” concerto, Beethoven’s lush and virtuosic writing in the work opened the traditional form to new possibilities for the composers who would follow him. The second half of the program features Brahms’ Serenade No. 1. Originally composed as chamber music, Brahms later adapted the work for full orchestra, offering a preview of the rich compositional style that would emerge in his four symphonies. The six-movement serenade is filled with lyrical wind and string passages, as well as exuberant writing in the allegro and scherzo movements. German violinist Julia Fischer won the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition at just 11, launching her career as a solo and orchestral violinist.

  • A Survey of Czech Piano Cycles: from Nationalism to Modernism (1877-1930)
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: A SURVEY OF CZECH PIANO CYCLES: FROM NATIONALISM TO MODERNISM (1877-1930) Florence Ahn, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Larissa Dedova Piano Department The piano music of the Bohemian lands from the Romantic era to post World War I has been largely neglected by pianists and is not frequently heard in public performances. However, given an opportunity, one gains insight into the unique sound of the Czech piano repertoire and its contributions to the Western tradition of piano music. Nationalist Czech composers were inspired by the Bohemian landscape, folklore and historical events, and brought their sentiments to life in their symphonies, operas and chamber works, but little is known about the history of Czech piano literature. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the unique sentimentality, sensuality and expression in the piano literature of Czech composers whose style can be traced from the solo piano cycles of Bedřich Smetana (1824-1884), Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904), Leoš Janáček (1854-1928), Josef Suk (1874-1935), Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1935) to Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942). A SURVEY OF CZECH PIANO CYCLES: FROM ROMANTICISM TO MODERNISM (1877-1930) by Florence Ahn Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts 2018 Advisory Committee: Professor Larissa Dedova, Chair Professor Bradford Gowen Professor Donald Manildi Professor

  • Cello Teachers Martin and Mirko Škampa, with the Soloist Prof
    JOSEF SUK PIANO QUARTET Josef Suk Piano Quartet is exactly an “ensemble” according to what this term means in Chamber Music: just what our Competition always looks for in each edition! I find it’s extremely infrequent to listen to strings playing in such a brilliant, rich and technically perfect way. In addition, the pianist’s original concept of chamber music (never uninspired, always looking for the appropriate timbre for each music page) together with the strings player’s qualities, gives a soul and a new life into each musical phrase and captivate the audience’s attention. Looking into the future, I think that the Josef Suk Piano Quartet will have a great success thanks to both technical preparation and musical creative originality!“ Prof. Fedra Florit, Artistic Director of the Premio Trio di Trieste Competition and Member of the 2013 Jury MANAGMENT Leonardo Finotti JOSEF SUK PIANO QUARTET [email protected] www.josefsukpianoquartet.com address: Via A. Rossi 7 [email protected] 45026 Lendinara, Rovigo Phone: +420 608 549 299 JOSEF SUK PIANO QUARTET The Josef Suk Piano Quartet was named after Josef Suk (1929-2011), one of the greatest violinists of the twentieth cen- tury, the grandson of composer Josef Suk and great grandson of Antonín Dvořák. The honour of accepting the name of a leading Czech artist was proposed to the ensemble by the Czech Society for Chamber Music and with the kind support of Marie Suková, Josef Suk’s wife. The Josef Suk Piano Quartet develops the rich tradition of Czech chamber ensembles, namely of the famous Suk Trio.
