This concert, Music of Canada / Music of the World, will introduce grade 1—3 students to some important concepts from the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum through music. Not only will the students see and hear our professional, 55-piece orchestra in the acoustically superb Centre In The Square, they will also learn new concepts, be exposed to different cultures and be inspired. To enhance the concert experience the KWS sends some of its musicians into the schools to meet the students, give some instrument demonstrations, talk about the concert and answer questions. Please encourage your students to be inquisitive—we love discussing the music we perform. The materials in this booklet are designed by our KWS Education staff. We welcome your feedback. Thank you, and enjoy the concert!

Brahms Andrei Feher, Music Director Andrei Feher has already earned a reputation for his musical maturity and integrity, natural authority on the podium, and an imaginative and intelligent approach to programming. At the age of 26 Feher was appointed as the new Music Director of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra, a position which is effective from August 2018. Having gained early experience as assistant to Fabien Gabel at the Orchestre Symphonique de Quebec, at the age of 22 Feher joined the Orchestre de Paris as Assistant Conductor to its Music Director, Paavo Järvi. During this time he collaborated with conductors including Zubin Mehta, Valery Gergiev, Christoph von Dohnányi, Thomas Hengelbrock and Jaap van Zweden, as well as regularly conducting the orchestra in their popular Young Public concerts at the Philharmonie de Paris. In addition to his commitments with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra, recent and upcoming highlights include performances with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Orchestre Symphonique de Quebec, Les Violons du Roy, Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, Orchestre National d’Ile de France, Orchestre Métropolitain Montreal and Romanian Radio National Orchestra. A strong advocate of contemporary music, Feher has recently performed works by Eric Champagne, Pierre Mercure, George Dimitrov, Ciprian Pop and Abigail Richardson, as well as the world premiere of Thierry Besancon’s opera for children Les Zoocrates with Opéra de Lausanne. In November 2015, Feher conducted the world premiere of Soleil Noir by Pierre Jodlowski with the Orchestre de Pau-Béarn, which resulted in an immediate invitation to conduct the work in Toulouse in November 2016. Born in Romania into a family of musicians, Feher began his musical education as a violinist in his hometown Satu-Mare before continuing his studies at the Montreal Conservatoire when his parents relocated to Canada. ~A Brief History of Music in Canada~ Before European settles came to Canada, or Canada became a country; North America was home to a wide variety of indigenous peoples, each with their own musical practices. Aboriginal music was often played to accompany dancing and sacred ceremonies. The music was passed down from generation to generation orally—never written down. Aboriginal music features: Chanting, throat singing, whistles, drumming, and beautiful handmade instruments (Rattles from gourds and animal horns etc.) As Europeans settlers began to populate the country, each culture brought with them the music and instruments of their homeland (fifes, drums, trumpets, violins etc.); all valued music as important. Music was taught as a subject in Canadian schools from 1639, and began to be printed and published in the 1800s. The Maritime Provinces became home to many Irish and Scottish settlers who brought their Celtic music with them. You can find fiddle playing and Ceili dancing there still today! French folk music, fiddle playing, and dancing found a home in Quebec. Our most famous French- Canadian folk-tune was published in 1879 – “Alouette!” The Europeans also brought their Classical music. By the end of the 1700s, classical concerts had become a regular part of the cultural landscape, and Canada had it’s own home-grown Grande Opera. 1867 Canada becomes a country! Alexander Muir composes “The Maple Leaf Forever”, our first national anthem. At this time, the average middle-class Canadian had a piano in their home. 1880 “O’ Canada” was composed by Calixa Lavallée – originally only in French! 1900s Recorded music becomes possible with the invention of the Gramophone. 1910s WWI inspired popular Canadian patriotic songs and European style marches such as: “Canada I hear you Calling”, “God save the King”, and “O’ Britannia!” 1920s The Jazz age of Canada, public dancing and American inspired Jazz filled halls everywhere. The invention of the radio allowed artists to spread their music farther than ever before! 1930s Jazz and Blues remain popular. Performing Big Bands are the entertainment of the day. “Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians” is a key figure in this time. 1940s WWII inspires a surge of patriotic school band music in Canada. This time also marks the career beginnings for two of Canada’s greatest pianists: Oscar Peterson, and Glenn Gould. After this point we continue to see music split into many different Genres, each with its pivotal Canadian characters. R&B, Country, Rock n’ Roll, Classic Rock, Hip-hop, Rap etc. each rise in popularity, increasingly inspired by global influences. All the while, Aboriginal music, Classical music, and Folk music, stand as the foundation for our musical cultural heritage and continue to inspire us today. Concert Etiquettes For Performers What is good concert etiquette? It’s the behavior that is considered appropriate and polite while enjoying or performing a live musical performance. Good concert etiquette shows respect for the conductor, performers, other audience members, and the music that is being performed. Do’s… Do act as professionally as possible while on stage Do dress appropriately Do help others by setting a good example (ex. stay quiet & keep focused) Do sit quietly with hands and feet to yourself, listen and learn! Do show appreciation for the efforts of other groups, be respectful! Don’ts… Do not call attention to the mistakes if they are made Do not wave or talk to performers or audience members Do not play with toys or other objects! Concert Etiquettes For Audiences Not Performing? Be a good audience! Not being on stage does not mean that you should forget all about your concert etiquettes. In fact, there are a lot more to remember when you are a member in the audience! What should I do as an audience member? 1. Sit quietly and wait for the concert to begin. You may talk softly while you wait. Do not talk or make noises during the performance. It can be distracting to the performers. 2. Applaud after each full piece of music has been completed. 3. Keep concert programs quiet during the performance 4. Cell phones should be turned off or to mute. Watches set to beep on the hour should also be turned off. Also, do not listen to iPods or play games on your electronic device. 5. Please use discretion in taking photos. Flash photos during a performance are extremely distracting for all. 6. If you must get up to leave during a concert, do so only at the end of a groups performance or between pieces. It is the best if you stay for the entire concert. 7. Please remove all hats. http://www.lesd.k12.az.us/webpages/cfortier/index.cfm?subpage=96759 Andrei Feher, Music Director KWS School Concerts Program CD TRACK#1 MUSIC OF CANADA/WORLD KWS, ANDREI FEHER “Symphony No.4, First Movement” Although his music sounds P.

University of California Press: Berkeley, 2008. 334 pp. + illustrations. $49.95 (hb). ISBN 052-0243- 617. Review by John Finlay, Independent Scholar. Peter Read’s Picasso et Apollinaire: Métamorphoses de la memoire 1905/1973 was first published in France in 1995 and is now translated into English, revised, updated and developed incorporating the author’s most recent publications on both Picasso and Apollinaire. Picasso & Apollinaire: The Persistence of Memory also uses indispensable material drawn from pioneering studies on Picasso’s sculptures, sketchbooks and recent publications by eminent scholars such as Elizabeth Cowling, Anne Baldassari, Michael Fitzgerald, Christina Lichtenstern, William Rubin, John Richardson and Werner Spies as well as a number of other seminal texts for both art historian and student.[1] Although much of Apollinaire’s poetic and literary work has now been published in French it remains largely untranslated, and Read’s scholarly deciphering using the original texts is astonishing, daring and enlightening to the Picasso scholar and reader of the French language.[2] Divided into three parts and progressing chronologically through Picasso’s art and friendship with Apollinaire, the first section astutely analyses the early years from first encounters, Picasso’s portraits of Apollinaire, shared literary and artistic interests, the birth of Cubism, the poet’s writings on the artist, sketches, poems and “primitive art,” World War I, through to the final months before Apollinaire’s death from influenza on 9 November 1918.

  • Against Expression?: Avant-Garde Aesthetics in Satie's" Parade"
    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS French Paintings of the Fifteenth through Eighteenth Centuries Antoine Watteau French, 1684 - 1721 The Italian Comedians probably 1720 oil on canvas overall: 63.8 × 76.2 cm (25 1/8 × 30 in.) framed: 94.62 × 107 × 13.65 cm (37 1/4 × 42 1/8 × 5 3/8 in.) Samuel H. Kress Collection 1946.7.9 ENTRY Numerous paintings with figures in theatrical costume attest to Jean Antoine Watteau’s interest in the theater. In The Italian Comedians, however—as in others of his works in this genre—the identity of some of the characters remains uncertain or equivocal because he sometimes reused the same model for different figures and modified standard costumes according to his whim. Pierre Rosenberg has drawn attention to the announcement in the Mercure de France of the 1733 print after The Italian Comedians [fig. 1] by Bernard Baron (1696–1762): “These are almost all portraits of men skilled in their art, whom Watteau painted in the different clothing of the actors of the Italian Theatre.” [1] It would seem, then, that the painting does not record an actual performance; and we lack evidence as to who these individuals might actually be. It was Baron’s print (included in the Recueil Jullienne, the compendium of prints after Watteau’s work) that gave The Italian Comedians its title. The scene appears to represent a curtain call of the Comédie Italienne, the French version of the commedia dell’arte, which presented stock characters in predictably humorous plots. A red curtain has been drawn aside from a stage where fifteen figures stand together.

Department of Fine Arts The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date October, 1988 DE-6(3/81) ABSTRACT The Neo-Orientalism of Matisse's The Blue Nude (Souvenir of Biskra), and Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, both of 1907, exists in the similarity of the extreme distortion of the female form and defines the different meanings attached to these "ugly" women relative to distinctive notions of erotic and exotic imagery. To understand Neo-Orientalism, that is, 19th century Orientalist concepts which were filtered through Primitivism in the 20th century, the racial, sexual and class antagonisms of the period, which not only influenced attitudes towards erotic and exotic imagery, but also defined and categorized humanity, must be considered in their historical context.

  • What Is Folk Music? Dave Spalding's Discussion Paper
    WHAT IS FOLK MUSIC? Throughout the weekend of the Society’s 1987 Annual General Meeting in Quebec City, there was considerable discussion among the Directors o f major policy concerns within the CFMS. This discussion returned again and again to how (or even, whether) folk music should be defined. Accordingly, a committee was formed to look into the question of defining folk music, particularly with regard to the Society’s policies. Due to many exigencies, the committee was unable to meet face-to-face and a a whole during the year, but fortunately David Spalding prepared and distributed a discussion paper, to which a number of the committee's members responded in writing. It was decided to publish both Spalding’s paper and the responses in the Journal, which because of the length and nature of the submissions seemed the most appropriate vehicle for sharing these concerns. When the committee was originally formed, it was emphasized that issues surrounding the definition of folk music were not temporary but rather ongoing for the Society, and that some clear direction was desirable as a basis for framing the Society’s policies. In this spirit, the following discussion paper by David Spalding and the three responses (by Anne Lederman, Ken Persson, and Jay Rahn) are offered to our readership. DAVE SPALDING’S DISCUSSION PAPER Introduction At the Quebec meeting, the board spent a lot of time discussing “what is folk music?” Some members felt that to develop a definition that could be widely accepted by the society would help in dealing with the prob­ lems of the society; others felt that development of a definition was not either possible or of practical assistance, but that it was an interesting question and that CFMS should continue to provide a forum in which such questions could be discussed.

    KEES VAN DONGEN From 11th June to 27th September 2009 PRESS CONFERENCE 11th June 2009, at 11.30 a.m. INAUGURATION 11th June 2009, at 19.30 p.m. Press contact: Phone: + 34 93 256 30 21 /26 Fax: + 34 93 315 01 02 [email protected] CONTENTS 1. PRESENTATION 2. EXHIBITION TOUR 3. EXHIBITION AREAS 4. EXTENDED LABELS ON WORKS 5. CHRONOLOGY 1. PRESENTATION This exhibition dedicated to Kees Van Dongen shows the artist‘s evolution from his student years to the peak of his career and evokes many of his aesthetic ties and exchanges with Picasso, with whom he temporarily shared the Bateau-Lavoir. Born in a suburb of Rotterdam, Van Dongen‘s career was spent mainly in Paris where he came to live in 1897. A hedonist and frequent traveller, he was a regular visitor to the seaside resorts of Deauville, Cannes and Monte Carlo, where he died in 1968. Van Dongen experienced poverty, during the years of revelry with Picasso, and then fame before finally falling out of fashion, a status he endured with a certain melancholy. The exhibition confirms Kees Van Dongen‘s decisive role in the great artistic upheavals of the early 20th century as a member of the Fauvist movement, in which he occupied the unique position of an often irreverent and acerbic portraitist. The virulence and extravagance of his canvases provoked immediate repercussions abroad, particularly within the Die Brücke German expressionist movement. Together with his orientalism, contemporary with that of Matisse, this places Van Dongen at the very forefront of the avant-garde.

A significant part of the thesis is devoted to an investigation of conditions connected to the relation of Canadian music and Canadian sense of identity and uniqueness. Further, an account of Canadian radio broadcasting and induction of regulating acts which influenced music production in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century are given. Moreover, the effectiveness and contributions of these regulating acts are summarized and evaluated. Last but not least, the main characteristics of the music style of a female singer songwriter Joni Mitchell are examined.

  • Day 9 - 17Th September Scenic Alps Train Ride a Wet Start As We Take the Train up the Tyrolean Valley with Misty Mountains to St Anton Am Arlberg
    Day 9 - 17th September Scenic Alps Train Ride A wet start as we take the train up the Tyrolean valley with misty mountains to St Anton am Arlberg. We watched river rafts going down the River Inn, and then the train twists and turns so you can see the red train ahead dropping down slowly, as your ears pop through Vorarlberg to Bludenz and Feldkirch. We catch glimpses of waterfalls rushing down towards the train. These are the most marvellous train rides to take through the Alps visiting different locations. We will be back! Rafting as seen from train Transiting Switzerland From Feldkirch we speed up through a corner of Leichtenstein and the weather is brighter with the lower territory as we come to Buchs and Switzerland. The sun comes out in Switzerland as the International Grand Trenzi Europa steam train comes into Buchs Steam Train at Buchs SG station as we are there! We now leave Buchs in the other direction due to changing line in Switzerland, past some odd shaped crags and rocky outcrop near Sargans. There is an old ruined castle before we run alongside Lake Walensea. The effortless train travel speeds us through forested hills to Lake Obersee and Lake Zurich. All change! We have an easy change at Zurich to the high speed train to Paris. We are upstairs on a duplex train, with even better viewing, through Lenzburg and Aarau to Basel, and past its zoo. We speed up to 314 km per hour between Mulhouse and Dijon through lovely wooded landscape, so empty compared to the UK.
