Described by critics as a “lyrical” pianist with “impeccable technique” (The Record), she has been heard in prestigious venues worldwide including Carnegie Hall, Salle Gaveau (Paris) and Victoria Hall (Geneva). She has appeared as a concerto soloist with the Philips Symphony Orchestra in Amsterdam, and with the Piracicaba Symphony Orchestra in Brazil. Arakawa’s interest in Spanish repertoire grew out of a series of lessons with Alicia de Larrocha in 2004. She has subsequently recorded solo and chamber pieces by Spanish and Latin American composers (LAMC Record), under the sponsorship of the Spanish Embassy as a prizewinner at the Latin American Music Competition. An avid chamber musician, she has collaborated with such artists as cellists Colin Carr and Gary Hoffman, flutists Jean Ferrandis and Marina Piccinini, clarinetist James Campbell, and the Penderecki Quartet.

    Contact: Stefan Scherer-Emunds [email protected] (312) 957-0000 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Halloween-Themed “Haunted Hearts” Features Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, Piazzolla’s Oblivion, Herrmann’s Psycho Score & More Alongside Bone-Chilling Narration Chicago, IL – (September 21, 2016) Just in time for Halloween, the Chicago Philharmonic’s 2016-17 season dedicated to love continues October 30 with Haunted Hearts, conjuring up bittersweet past loves, nightmarish scenes, and the bug that got away. C.P.E. Bach’s Symphony No. 5, a devilishly difficult showpiece, sets the tone with its careening runs and shocking use of harmony. Piazzolla’s tango-infused Oblivion, Michael Nyman’s minimalistic Concerto for Amplified Harpsichord and Strings, and a suite from Bernard Herrmann’s cataclysmic Psycho score follow. Next, the orchestra performs Woolf’s evocative tonal soundscape, My Insect Bride. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 – with its treacherous but beloved harpsichord cadenza – reminds the audience that it’s all in good fun after all. Tim Hopper of the Steppenwolf Theatre provides bone-chilling narration, and expert theremin player Mysterion performs eerie pre-concert music. Audience members are invited to come in costume.

  • American Violinist Rachel Barton Pine: 'Relaxing Music Makes Me Tense'
    THE STRAITS TIMES American violinist Rachel Barton Pine: 'Relaxing music makes me tense' Virtuoso violinist Rachel Barton Pine is known for her intepretations of music by composers such as Bach and Paganini, and used to play in the thrash/doom heavy metal band Earthen Grave. PHOTO: COURTESY OF SINGAPORE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PUBLISHED OCT 14, 2019, 5:30 PM SGT Toh Wen Li (mailto:[email protected]) SINGAPORE - What do heavy metal and classical music have in common? A lot more than you think, suggests virtuoso violinist Rachel Barton Pine, who has had a lifelong passion for both. The 45-year-old Chicago native is known for her intepretations of music by composers such as Bach and Paganini, and used to play in the thrash/doom heavy metal band Earthen Grave. Speaking to The Straits Times over the phone last week from a hotel room in Salt Lake City, where she was due to perform, Pine rattles off a list of rock and heavy metal artists - from Scorpions' former lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth, to Marty Friedman of heavy metal band Megadeth - who were inspired by classical music, drawn to the emotional intensity and bombast of Romantic-era works. Paganini's Caprices "set the standard for all the fancy notes you can do on the instrument", she adds, referring to the Italian virtuoso's fiendishly difficult solos for the violin. Pine who started playing the violin at the age of three and listening to hard rock and heavy metal when she was 10 years old, says: "After practising violin all day, I couldn't really relax by listening to classical music, because I would still be analysing it too much.
