The oboe is a notoriously tricky instrument with several parameters that make it hard to master, none more so than the temperamental double reed at the top. These are hand- made by the oboist from a weed similar to bamboo (Arundo Donax for those playing at home). There are but a handful of oboists in the world who are invited to perform as soloists outside of their country, and Diana is one of them. One of my first trips to see the Sydney Symphony Orchestra as a teenager was to witness Diana perform the Richard Strauss Oboe Concerto. I marvelled at her gloriously resonant oboe sound, especially as she was 37 weeks pregnant! Nearly a decade later I watched Diana premiere Ross Edwards' Oboe Concerto, dressed (as instructed by the composer) as a wild bird, whilst undertaking dance choreography. I can’t think of any other oboist in the world who can pull off these jaw-dropping feats. Today, Diana performs the most famous work from the oboe repertoire - Mozart's Oboe Concerto in C. Diana is one of those oboists who makes the instrument sound like a human voice, and I have no doubt that you will enjoy her breathtaking rendition of this charming yet virtuosic concerto.

Kije Suite About Frederic Chiu Born and raised in America by Chinese immigrant parents, and a resident of Paris for 12 years, Frederic Chiu's cosmopolitan background brings a unique approach to his music-making. A master of the recording studio, he has released more than 20 CDs for the Harmonia Mundi label including the complete piano works by Prokofiev recently released in a newly designed package of 10 CDs, a recording project that has elicited widespread critical acclaim. His release of three rarely played Mendelssohn sonatas was chosen as Record of the Year by Stereo Review . After studies at Indiana University and at the Juilliard School, Chiu began his career in Europe: his recital debut at the Wigmore Hall prompted the Evening Standard's headline "Call of the Wild Genius."

  • Functional Orchestral Collaboration Skills for Wind Band
    FUNCTIONAL ORCHESTRAL COLLABORATION SKILLS FOR WIND BAND PIANISTS: A STUDY GUIDE Jisoo Grace Kim Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2016 APPROVED: Pamela Mia Paul, Major Professor Eugene Migliaro Corporon, Committee Member Steven Harlos, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Vice Provost of the Toulouse Graduate School Kim, Jisoo Grace. Functional Orchestral Collaboration Skills for Wind Band Pianists: A Study Guide. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2016, 54 pp., 2 tables, 9 figures, references, 32 titles. As opportunities to perform as a soloist diminish, more pianists consider chamber and orchestral playing as an alternative solution. By so doing, ample performance opportunities are introduced. Although most university music programs offer ensemble courses for pianists and have begun to offer degrees with an emphasis in accompaniment, their curriculum lacks instructions specifically designed to train and prepare pianists for playing in large ensembles, especially wind bands. This dissertation addresses the difficulties, which one might encounter in large ensemble collaboration, and recommends useful suggestions for acquiring functional skills to solve these difficulties. Pianists can attain professional status by acquiring the functional skills presented in each chapter. The goal of this study is to provide pedagogical support and direction for novice pianists in the larger ensemble collaboration. Copyright 2016 by Jisoo Grace Kim ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to express the deepest appreciation to my major professor, Dr. Pamela Mia Paul, without whose supervision and dedicated involvement in the process, this dissertation would not be possible.

  • Frederic Chiu Distant Voices Piano Music by Claude Debussy & Gao Ping
    Frederic Chiu Distant Voices Piano Music by Claude Debussy & Gao Ping Frederic Chiu - Biography With a vibrant concert schedule, a legacy of 25 CDs, and a stream of superlatives from major critics around the globe, pianist Frederic Chiu occupies a special place in the world of classical music. In an eclectic career encompassing unusual collaborations and little-played repertoire, along with explorations into the psychology of performance, Mr. Chiu has demonstrated an ability to go beyond boundaries. Not coincidentally, this long- term Yamaha Artist also helped the instrument establish its brand as one the world’s great piano makers by providing important feedback to technicians as they developed the newest models. The accolades tell part of the story. Reviewers have called his recorded performances “playing on an exalted level” (Fanfare), and “stunningly virtuosic… [with a] sense of spontaneity [that] is often incandescent” (BBC Music Magazine). The New Yorker included his version of Liszt’s Années de Pélérinage, Italie among their “Best Classical Albums of 2001.” His Mendelssohn Sonatas—selected as “Record of the Year” by Stereo Review— became a best-seller in the classical piano category. Live performances continue to play a major role in his life. Mr. Chiu has toured Europe and the U.S. with the Orchestre de Bretagne and Stefan Sanderling. He has played with the Hartford Symphony, Dayton Philharmonic, Kansas City Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, BBC Scottish Symphony, BBC Concert Orchestra, Estonia National Symphony, China National Symphony, the FOSJE Orquesta in Ecuador, among others. In recital he performs in the world's most prestigious halls including the Berlin Philharmonic, Kioi and Suntory Halls in Tokyo, Lincoln Center in New York and Kennedy Center in Washington DC.
