Hemingway scholar and author, Philip Greene, shared book excerpts and stories about Hemingway’s life and his connections to Wyoming. This fundraiser, sponsored by Mark and Trudy Eisele, in honor of Ann King, was a great success with 80 attendees! ZUILL BAILEY RETURNS TO CHEYENNE Zuill Bailey is widely considered one of the premiere cellists in the world. He is a Grammy Award winner, inter- nationally renowned soloist, Artistic Director, and teacher. His rare combination of celebrated artistry, techni- cal wizardry, and engaging personality has secured his place as one of the most sought after and active cellists today. Bailey won a best solo performance Grammy Award in 2017 for his Live Recording of Tales of Hemingway, by composer Michael Daugherty. The celebrated CD, recorded with the Nashville Symphony, Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor, also won a Grammy for best composition, Tales of Hemingway, and Best Compendium. He was named the 2014 Johns Hopkins University Distinguished Alumni and was awarded the Classical Recording Foundation Award for 2006 and 2007 for Beethoven’s complete works for Cello and Piano. Bailey has been featured with symphony orchestras worldwide. Mr. Bailey received his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from the Peabody Conservatory and the Juilliard School. He is a favorite of CSO audiences, and has delighted his Cheyenne fans at two previous concerts. He will also present a Hausmusik on October 13 at 2:00 PM at the Cheyenne Depot. The recital will be followed by a reception including light appetizers and a chance to mix and mingle with fellow concert-goers and the soloist. Page 3 —October 2019 ERNEST HEMINGWAY AND WYOMING Ernest Hemingway called Wyoming “damned lovely country” and told a Wyoming rancher that, “There are two places I love: Africa and Wyoming.” Hemingway’s connections to Wyoming are significant. He fished, hunted, and drank here from 1928 to 1946. He finished writing A Farewell to Arms and wrote parts of Death in the Afternoon, To Have and Have Not, Garden of Eden, and Across the River and Into the Trees at ranches in the Big Horn Mountains and near Cody. Several activities in Wyoming during 2019 – 2020 will celebrate this special connection, including: - Explore Hemingway, developed by Sheridan College, Wyoming Humanities, the Ucross Foundation, and the Wyoming Institute for the Humanities. This is a series of lectures by renowned scholars. - Hemingway Highways, an audio tour, narrated by Hemingway’s granddaughter, Mariel. - One Book Wyoming, a statewide discussion series of In Our Time, a collection of Hemingway’s short stories, sponsored by the Wyoming State Library and Wyoming Humanities. - International Biennial Hemingway Society Conference to be held in Sheridan, from July 19 to 23, 2020 – scholars from throughout the world will present academic papers and engage in various events. HEMINGWAY ROUND TABLE OCTOBER 11TH, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM ATLAS THEATRE The Wyoming Humanities Council, in conjunction with the National Endowment for the Humanities Hemingway Highways grant, will celebrate Hemingway’s Wyoming connections. The round table discussion will include Maestro William Intriligator, cellist Zuill Bailey and UW Hemingway scholar, Charles Fournier. It is free and open to the public. Cash bar available. While many Wyoming bars claim that “Hemingway drank here,” the following watering holes are known spots that he frequented: 1. The Last Chance Saloon in Big Horn - Hemingway first visited Wyoming in 1928 and immediately fell in love with the Big Horn Mountains. The Last Chance Saloon in the nearby town of Big Horn, Wyoming, was a local speak-easy that inspired Hemingway’s short story, Wine of Wyoming. 2. The Irma Hotel Saloon in Cody- Hemingway returned to Wyoming in 1932, where he spent several months fishing in and around Yellowstone National Park. During the time, he was a frequent guest at several local bars in Cody. 3. The Cheyenne Depot - In addition to Wyoming and alcohol, Hemingway also loved women. The third of his four marriages took place on November 21, 1940, when he wed New York Times reporter Martha Gellhorn in Cheyenne. Their reception was held at the historic Cheyenne Depot and was later depicted in the 2012 HBO movie Hemingway and Gellhorn. 4. The world Famous Wonder Bar in Casper - In July of 1946, Hemingway and his fourth wife Mary drove through Casper on a cross-country trip. After staying at the nearby Mission Motor Court, the author famously washed down a steak and fries with several beers at this historic bar. 5. The Crandall Ranger Station - Hemingway’s visits to Wyoming typically included his four favorite past times: writing, drinking, fishing and hunting. During one hunting trip in 1930, he fell off his horse and was injured. Hemingway was patched up by a local doctor who gave him a bottle of “Oscar Pepper Whiskey” for the pain, which he drank on a picnic table outside of the old ranger station.

  • PHILIPPE QUINT Biography (Updated July 2016)
    PHILIPPE QUINT biography (updated July 2016) Lauded by Daily Telegraph (UK) for his “searingly poetic lyricism” violinist Philippe Quint is carving an unconventional path with his impassioned musical desire for reimagining traditional works, rediscovering neglected repertoire to commissioning works by contemporary composers. His dedication to exploring different styles and genres with an award winning discography has solidified him as one of the foremost violinists of today. Receiving several Grammy nominations for his two albums of Korngold and William Schuman Concertos, Mr. Quint is in constant demand worldwide appearing with major orchestras at venues ranging from the Gewandhaus in Leipzig to Carnegie Hall in New York. Philippe Quint plays the magnificent 1708 "Ruby" Antonio Stradivari violin on loan to him through the generous efforts of The Stradivari Society®. Highlights of the 2015/2016 season included performances with Colorado, Seattle & North Carolina Symphonies, Luzern’s Zaubersee Festival with pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin, and a first visit to Verbier Festival performing with Joshua Bell and Tabea Zimmerman among others. At the invitation of Maestro Vladimir Spivakov, Philippe opened the 28th edition of Colmar Festival dedicated to Jascha Heifetz with Tugan Sokhiev conducting the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse in a performance of Korngold Violin Concerto. Earlier this year he was part of the opening of Mary B. Galvin’s new hall in Chicago hosted by Renee Fleming. Winner of the “Ambassador of Arts” award in 2014, presented to Philippe by Brownstone and Gateway Organizations at the United Nations last March, his 2014-2015 season highlights included debuts with Seattle Symphony with Ludovic Morlot, Milwaukee Symphony with Edo de Waart, Kansas Symphony with Michael Stern, Vancouver Symphony with James Gaffigan, and returns to San Diego Symphony with Jahja Ling and Indianapolis Symphony with Krzysztof Urbanski.

  • Program Notes by ASO Education Consultant, Susan Wingrove-Reed
    Anchorage Symphony Orchestra Opening Night September 22, 2018 program notes by ASO Education Consultant, Susan Wingrove-Reed George Gershwin Born: 1898 Died: 1937 Cuban Overture George Gershwin dropped out of high school at the age of fifteen to play the piano to help sell sheet music in Tin Pan Alley music stores. Annotator Thomas May marveled, “By the time he was in his twenties he was an established composer with several wildly successful hit tunes and a number of Broadway shows to his credit.” The overture that opens Maestro Randall Craig Fleischer’s 20th season with the ASO was inspired by Gershwin’s 1932 vacation trip to Havana; Of Thee I Sing had just earned its composer the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded for a musical comedy. The Cuban vacation was pretty wild and included lavish parties hosted by celebrities like millionaire Howard Hughes. Gershwin fondly recalled there were “two hysterical weeks in Havana, where no sleep was to be had, but the quality and quantity of fun made up for that.” He eagerly soaked up the music – dance rhythms, exotic harmonies and lots of traditional percussion instruments, notably the maraca, bongos, gourds and claves. Recharged and inspired when he returned home, he quickly wrote Rumba, a brilliant showpiece to add to an all-Gershwin concert by the New York Philharmonic at Lewisohn Stadium (1932). Attended by over 17,000 people, this was the first time the renowned orchestra presented an entire evening of music by a living composer; Gershwin called it “the most exciting night I have ever had.” Always seeking affirmation as a serious composer, he renamed the scintillating work Cuban Overture for its second performance (at the Metropolitan Opera) – saying the new title gave “a more just idea of the character and intent of the music.” The Cuban Overture has three main parts.
