While the 1913 debut of the ballet performance in Paris triggered riots, The Bad Plus' musical interpretation of the signature work, with beautiful projected images and videos, has been praised as "electrifying" (The New York Times) and "exhilarating…dramatic, dynamic" (The Boston Globe). Each 7:30pm concert in the Mash-Up series will be preceded by a 5:30pm Mash-Up Mixer in locations just outside Chautauqua Auditorium, featuring samples of food and drink from some of Boulder's finest restaurants, breweries, and specialty food stores. Each Mixer is free to concert goers that evening, but only a limited number of first come, first served passes will be available to ticket holders at Chautauqua on the evening of the performance, so please arrive early.

  • Swedish Folk Music
    Ronström Owe 1998: Swedish folk music. Unpublished. Swedish folk music Originally written for Encyclopaedia of world music. By Owe Ronström 1. Concepts, terminology. In Sweden, the term " folkmusik " (folk music) usually refers to orally transmitted music of the rural classes in "the old peasant society", as the Swedish expression goes. " Populärmusik " ("popular music") usually refers to "modern" music created foremost for a city audience. As a result of the interchange between these two emerged what may be defined as a "city folklore", which around 1920 was coined "gammeldans " ("old time dance music"). During the last few decades the term " folklig musik " ("folkish music") has become used as an umbrella term for folk music, gammeldans and some other forms of popular music. In the 1990s "ethnic music", and "world music" have been introduced, most often for modernised forms of non-Swedish folk and popular music. 2. Construction of a national Swedish folk music. Swedish folk music is a composite of a large number of heterogeneous styles and genres, accumulated throughout the centuries. In retrospect, however, these diverse traditions, genres, forms and styles, may seem as a more or less homogenous mass, especially in comparison to today's musical diversity. But to a large extent this homogeneity is a result of powerful ideological filtering processes, by which the heterogeneity of the musical traditions of the rural classes has become seriously reduced. The homogenising of Swedish folk music started already in the late 1800th century, with the introduction of national-romantic ideas from German and French intellectuals, such as the notion of a "folk", with a specifically Swedish cultural tradition.

  • Russian Pianist Olga Kern Opens $2 Million Public Piano Exhibit in Vancouver with Unveiling of $240,000 Steinway “Arabesque”
    RUSSIAN PIANIST OLGA KERN OPENS $2 MILLION PUBLIC PIANO EXHIBIT IN VANCOUVER WITH UNVEILING OF $240,000 STEINWAY “ARABESQUE” VANCOUVER, BC (April 30, 2014) – Award-winning Russian pianist Olga Kern opened a twelve-day public exhibit of custom designed pianos at Tom Lee Music today with the unveiling of Steinway & Sons’ new Limited Edition “Arabesque” piano, a $240,000 grand piano designed by renowned American furniture designer and artist Dakota Jackson to celebrate Steinway’s 160th anniversary. Widely recognized as one of the world’s great pianists, Ms. Kern celebrated the unveiling of the Arabesque by playing the Arabesque by Swiss composer Charles Samuel Bovy-Lysberg (1821-1873). Later this evening, she will perform works by Schumann, Alkan, Chopin and Rachmaninoff at a Vancouver Playhouse Recital presented by The Vancouver Chopin Society. The Arabesque unveiled today, one of only 50 worldwide and the only one in Canada, is the first piano to win the 2014 Red Dot Design Award for product design from the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, one of the oldest and most highly reputed design institutions in Europe. A jury of international experts evaluated 4,815 product entries from around the world before awarding the coveted Red Dot designations. Made of polished black ebony, the Arabesque is one of 11 custom designed pianos worth $2 million that will be on display through to Sunday, May 11th. Jackson, a former dancer, designed the piano to reflect the channeled energy, perfect balance, and beauty of the Arabesque ballet pose in which the dancer's limbs are extended and held. He gave the Arabesque the impression of fluidity and movement through pentagonal legs, a gracefully curved prop stick, and a double row of silver bands in the rim.

  • The Bad Plus Joshua Redman Currículum I Discografia
    THE BAD PLUS JOSHUA REDMAN CURRÍCULUM I DISCOGRAFIA www.joshuaredman.com www.thebadplus.com JOSHUA REDMAN Joshua Redman és un dels artistes de jazz més aclamats i carismàtics que han sorgit a la dècada dels 90. Nascut a Berkeley, Califòrnia, és el fill del llegendari saxofonista Dewey Redman i de la ballarina Renee Shedroff. Des de ben petit va ser exposat a una gran varietat de músiques (jazz, clàssic, rock, soul, músiques de l’Índia, d’Indonèsia, de l’Orient Mitjà, de l’Àfrica) i a l’ús d’instruments diferents (piano, guitarra, gathan, gamelan). Va començar a tocar el clarinet amb nou anys abans de passar-se al que seria el seu instrument principal anys més tard, el saxo tenor. Les seves primeres influències van ser dels artistes John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Cannonball Adderley i per suposat del seu pare Dewey Redman. Però també The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, The Police i Led Zeppelin. Tot i que a en Joshua li encantava tocar el saxofon i era membre guardonat de la Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble i Combo 1983-86, mai va considerar seriosament convertir-se en un músic professional i va prioritzar els seus estudis acadèmics. L’any 1991 va graduar-se a Harvard College amb Summa Cum Laude i a Phi Beta Kappa amb B.A. en una llicenciatura d’Estudis Socials, i va ser acceptat a la Facultat de Dret de Yale. Alguns dels seus amics, ex alumnes de la Berklee College of Music que Joshua havia conegut quan estudiava a Boston, van traslladar-se a Brooklyn i van oferir-li compartir pis.
