The concerts are prepared and presented by student artists at NEC, with each composer offering commentary on the chosen works. The last of these concerts, curated by Bernard Rands and with BSO Assistant Director of Program Publications Robert Kirzinger as moderator, is scheduled for Thursday, April 3, at 6 p.m. in NEC’s Williams Hall prior to the BSO’s world premiere that night of Rands’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. The program includes music of Bernard Rands, Luciano Berio, Luigi Dallapiccola, and Yehudi Wyner. For further information, please visit bso.org, where “Do you hear what I hear?” can be found in the “Adult Education” listings under the “Education & Community” tab on the home page. Boston Symphony Chamber Players 50th Anniversary Season Continues, Sunday, April 6, at 3 p.m. at Jordan Hall Founded in 1964, the Boston Symphony Chamber Players perform the final Jordan Hall concert of their 50th Anniversary Season on Sunday afternoon, April 6, at 3 p.m. at the New England Conservatory. The program includes Milhaud’s Suite après Corrette, for oboe, clarinet, and bassoon; Schubert’s Octet in F for winds and strings, D.803; and the Boston premiere of Sebastian Currier’s Parallel Worlds for flute and string quartet, a BSO co- commission. Single tickets are available through SymphonyCharge at (617) 266-1200, at the Symphony Hall box office, or online at bso.org. On the day of the concert, tickets are available only at the Jordan Hall box office, 30 Gainsborough Street. BSO Community Chamber Concerts The BSO is happy to continue offering free Community Chamber Concerts in locations across Massachusetts during the 2013-14 season. These Sunday-afternoon concerts offer engaging chamber music performances by BSO musicians for communities limited in access to the BSO by either distance or economics; they are designed to build personal connections to the BSO and orchestral music, allowing community members to become more deeply engaged with the BSO. Each program lasts approximately one hour and is week 22 bso news 7 followed by a coffee-and-dessert reception for the audience and musicians. On Sunday, April 6, at the Colonial Theater in Pittsfield, for this season’s remaining Community Concert, a brass quintet made up of BSO members Benjamin Wright, Michael Martin, Jason Snider, Stephen Lange, and James Markey plays music of Bach, Hindemith, Albinoni, Martin, and Arnold. This concert is free, but tickets are required and available by calling Symphony- Charge at 1-888-266-1200. The BSO’s free Community Concerts are made possible in part by a generous grant from the Lowell Institute. BSO 101—The Free Adult Education Series at Symphony Hall BSO 101 continues to offer informative sessions about upcoming BSO programming and behind-the-scenes activities at Symphony Hall. This season’s remaining “Are You Listening?” session is scheduled for Wednesday, April 9, when BSO Director of Program Publications Marc Mandel discusses “Symphonic Stances” in music of Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, Mahler, and Stravinsky, with special guest BSO associate principal bassoon Richard Ranti.

  • MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2018 This
    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2018 This is the fifteenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2017-November 2018). The 130 selections have come from 25 members of the team and 70 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources - I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, 8 have received two nominations: Mahler and Strauss with Sergiu Celibidache on the Munich Phil choral music by Pavel Chesnokov on Reference Recordings Shostakovich symphonies with Andris Nelsons on DG The Gluepot Connection from the Londinium Choir on Somm The John Adams Edition on the Berlin Phil’s own label Historic recordings of Carlo Zecchi on APR Pärt symphonies on ECM works for two pianos by Stravinsky on Hyperion Chandos was this year’s leading label with 11 nominations, significantly more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2400 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year the choice was a little easier than usual. Pavel CHESNOKOV Teach Me Thy Statutes - PaTRAM Institute Male Choir/Vladimir Gorbik rec. 2016 REFERENCE RECORDINGS FR-727 SACD The most significant anniversary of 2018 was that of the centenary of the death of Claude Debussy, and while there were fine recordings of his music, none stood as deserving of this accolade as much as the choral works of Pavel Chesnokov.

  • The Art of Making Mistakes
    The Art of Making Mistakes Misha Alperin Edited by Inna Novosad-Maehlum Music is a creation of the Universe Just like a human being, it reflects God. Real music can be recognized by its soul -- again, like a person. At first sight, music sounds like a language, with its own grammatical and stylistic shades. However, beneath the surface, music is neither style nor grammar. There is a mystery hidden in music -- a mystery that is not immediately obvious. Its mystery and unpredictability are what I am seeking. Misha Alperin Contents Preface (by Inna Novosad-Maehlum) Introduction Nothing but Improvising Levels of Art Sound Sensitivity Fairytales and Fantasy Music vs Mystery Influential Masters The Paradox: an Improvisation on the 100th Birthday of the genius Richter Keith Jarrett Some thoughts on Garbarek (with the backdrop of jazz) The Master on the Pedagogy of Jazz Improvisation as a Way to Oneself Main Principles of Misha's Teachings through the Eyes of His Students Words from the Teacher to his Students Questions & Answers Creativity: an Interview (with Inna Novosad-Maehlum) About Infant-Prodigies: an Interview (with Marina?)
