She continued to win awards while in college, culminating with the Stanley Medal, the School of Music's highest honor. After receiving her bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees at The University of Michigan, studying with pianist Gyorgy Sandor, Miss Nissman made her Ann Arbor professional debut at the 1971 May Festival as the "Alumni Night" featured soloist . with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Subsequently, Eugene Ormandy invited her to perform with them again the following season, and from this beginning grew her successes in the United States. Miss Nissman enjoys success on both sides of the Atlantic. In America, her consistent repeat engagements with Stanislaw Skrowaczewski and the Minnesota Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops, and Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra attest to her artistry. She has worked with Italian conductor Riccardo Muti and tours regularly with orchestras throughout England, Holland, Germany, and Scandinavia.

  • The Concerto for Bassoon by Andrzej Panufnik
    THE CONCERTO FOR BASSOON BY ANDRZEJ PANUFNIK: RELIGION, LIBERATION AND POSTMODERNISM Janelle Ott Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2016 APPROVED: Kathleen Reynolds, Major Professor Eugene Cho, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member James Scott, Dean of the School of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Ott, Janelle. The Concerto for Bassoon by Andrzej Panufnik: Religion, Liberation, and Postmodernism. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2016, 128 pp., 2 charts, 23 musical examples, references, 88 titles. The Concerto for Bassoon by Andrzej Panufnik is a valuable addition to bassoon literature. It provides a rare opportunity for the bassoon soloist to perform a piece which is strongly programmatic. The purpose of this document is to examine the historical and theoretical context of the Concerto for Bassoon with special emphasis drawn to Panufnik’s understanding of religion in connection with Polish national identity and the national struggle for democratic independence galvanized by the murder of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko in 1984. Panufnik’s relationship with the Polish communist regime, both prior to and after his 1954 defection to England, is explored at length. Each of these aspects informed Panufnik’s compositional approach and the expressive qualities inherent in the Concerto for Bassoon. The Concerto for Bassoon was commissioned by the Polanki Society of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was premiered by the Milwaukee Chamber Players, with Robert Thompson as the soloist. While Panufnik intended the piece to serve as a protest against the repression of the Soviet government in Poland, the U. S.

  • Botticelli Triptych
    RESPIGHI Botticelli Triptych November 2014 6 From the President J.D. Scott Dear Friends: Since the 1920s The Philadelphia Orchestra has engaged young people, and indeed people of all ages, with the joys and thrills of orchestral music through the presentation of numerous programs. Today that tradition continues with expanded offerings, which are more important than ever. November is School Concert month at The Philadelphia Orchestra. This year’s theme, Music and Art: Instruments of Expression, explores how these two artistic forms serve as a means for understanding ourselves and the world around us. The concert, led by our new assistant conductor, Lio Kuokman, will make powerful connections between music and other creative forms in a guided tour through vibrant sounds and images. This month also brings the first of our Open Rehearsals for Students, allowing high school and college students a behind- the-scenes peek at how a concert comes together, and a rare opportunity to observe first-hand the artistic collaboration between musicians and conductors. It’s a fascinating way to get even closer to the music. From Sound All Around (our award-winning program for 3-5 year olds) to Family Concerts, from PreConcert Conversations to Free Neighborhood Concerts, PlayINs, Side-by-Side rehearsals, and LiveNote (our recently launched interactive concert guide for mobile devices), our collaborative learning offerings are a key element of the Orchestra’s mission. Our community offerings take Orchestra musicians offstage, on the road, and into the lives of music-lovers throughout the Philadelphia region, celebrating the wealth of musicianship in this area.
