An extraordinary symphony is created when these elements combine just so, becoming a celebration, an experience that resonates, infusing, and informing your daily life. And this year, I assure you, the musical stars are aligned. At the heart of it all, we have the incomparable NAC Orchestra. This amazing year opens with the Mozart-Haydn festival, a tribute to an unparalleled and unique musical friendship. The season is highlighted by Beethoven’s 9th and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, and it celebrates remarkable guest artists, including Emanuel Ax in recital, Cirque de la Symphonie and a Canadian Tenors Christmas. Combine that with some of the savviest audiences anywhere, and you have a truly spectacular season – one that I look forward to immensely. I hope you do, too.

Mozart and his guest sat down with two other musicians and spent the evening playing the quartets. As he was leaving, the older man said to Mozart’s father, “Before God, and as an honest man, I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name. He has taste, and, what is more, the most profound knowledge of composition.” The speaker was none other than Joseph Haydn, the most highly respected composer of his time. The musical dialogue that would grow between the two soon became the beating heart of a glorious and historically unique friendship. Join Pinchas Zukerman, the NAC Orchestra and incredible guest artists Emanuel Ax, Jeffrey Kahane and more for the Mozart-Haydn Festival and celebrate the music and history that connected these master composers. 4 Wednesday Friday Saturday Wednesday Thursday ....................... ....................... ....................... ....................... .......................

  • The 2018 Guide Festivals
    April 2018 The 2018 Guide Festivals FEATURE ARTICLE 10 Questions, Two (Very Different) Festivals Editor’s Note Our fifth annual Guide to Summer Festivals is our biggest yet, with some 85 annotated entries, plus our usual free access to the 1400 listings in the Musical America database. The details for the 85—dates, locations, artistic directors, programming, guest artists, etc.—have been provided by the festivals themselves, in response to a questionnaire sent to our list of Editor’s Picks. Those are determined by a number of factors: it’s hardly a surprise to see the big-budget events, such as Salzburg, Tanglewood, and Aspen, included. But budget is by no means the sole criterion. The 2018 Guide Programming, performers, range and type of events offered—all of these factor into the equation. For our feature article, we chose two highly regarded events and asked them one set of questions, just for the purposes of compare and contrast. Since George Loomis traveled to Ravenna last summer and knows Ojai well, we decided he was the perfect candidate to get the answers. Our hunch that the two couldn’t be more different turned out to be quite accurate: one takes place over a weekend, the over a two-month period; one is in the U.S., the other in Europe; one is rural, the other urban; one’s in a valley, the other by the sea; one focuses on contemporary fare, the other on traditional; one houses its artists in homes, the other in hotels; one is overseen by a man, the other by Festivals a woman; Ojai’s venues are primarily outdoor and strictly 20th century, Ravenna’s are mostly indoor and date as far back as the sixth century.

  • Chicago Sun-Times COT Opens Season with Engrossing 'Turn'
    Chicago Sun-Times COT opens season with engrossing 'Turn' March 28, 2003 BY WYNNE DELACOMA Classical Music Critic Stage director Diane Paulus and conductor Jane Glover have been intimately involved with Chicago Opera Theater's current rebirth. In 2001, they created a production of Monteverdi's "Orfeo'' that was both stylishly updated and sumptuously sung. For COT's 2002 season, their take on "Cosi fan tutte'' also updated to contemporary times, turned da Ponte's cynical libretto into a thoughtful look at the battle of the sexes without doing violence to one of Mozart's most beautiful scores. Paulus and Glover are working their magic again, opening COT's 2003 season Wednesday night at the Athenaeum Theatre with a production of Benjamin Britten's 1954 gripping chamber opera, "The Turn of the Screw,'' with a libretto by Myfanwy Piper, based on Henry James novella. Using minimal sets and retaining the 19th-century English country setting of James' story, COT's "Turn of the Screw'' takes us into a world as familiar as a Jane Austen novel or a Merchant-Ivory film, yet as disorienting as a fog-shrouded Impressionist landscape. With a strong cast and a superb band of 13 musicians in the pit, Britten's tale of two orphaned children menaced by the ghosts of their dead governess, Miss Jessel, and a mysterious man-servant, Peter Quint, becomes an engrossing swirl of reality and fantasy, unbounded goodness and absolute malevolence. OPERA REVIEW This is a precarious world, one in which the 'THE TURN OF THE SCREW' ghostly Quint and Miss Jessel do battle for the children's souls against their loving new governess (Arianna Zukerman) and kindly HIGHLY RECOMMENDED housekeeper, Mrs.

True Concord’s audiences have come to expect the highest musical standards in riveting performances by the best choral and instrumental artists from across the country, and this year is no exception! True Concord is known for its relaxed ambience and intimate venues, and yet this season includes two works that demand a larger scale.

Our 14th season is bursting with renowned composers, world-class guest artists, exciting collaborations, a world premiere, two requiems and the theatrical extravaganza of Bernstein’s Mass in January when the Tucson Desert Song Festival celebrates his centenary. In November we celebrate communal bonding, a hallmark of Tucson’s annual Day of the Dead festivities, with concerts that explore the emotions of death and rebirth. And in March, we join with UA’s Poetry Center to laud one of America’s literary giants, Emily Dickinson, in a series of events, including our concerts, that feature her poems and letters set to music. Beauty, reverence, excitement, drama, dance. At True Concord, music is a communal activity, a dynamic exchange of energy between artist and audience. Join us for our boldest season yet, a journey we’ll share TOGETHER.

  • E Afterglow of This Incredible Person Who Gave So Much to So Many, and Whose Passion for This Place and What We Do Is Now in Our Collective Heart’S Memories
    Afterglow Music for Our Westminster Family Remembering Joe Flummerfelt Westminster Williamson Voices James Jordan, conductor Gregory Stout, accompanist e Friday, May 17, 2019 Bristol Chapel Westminster Choir College Princeton, NJ 2 Conductor’s Note To Our Westminster Family, As Donald Nally said in comments prior to The Crossing program “For Joe,” we all feel as musicians that we have to do something; we are just not certain what it is we should do. But do something, express something…that is what we must do as artists at times like these. And as we all know, music speaks to us at times of loss and remembrance in ways that only it can. In this time of precariousness for our school and the place we all love, it seems only appropriate that we ponder a piece of our communal fabric, of which many squares in this human/musical quilt that are of Joe’s making. This is Williamson Voices way of “doing something” to allow us to sit in the afterglow of this incredible person who gave so much to so many, and whose passion for this place and what we do is now in our collective heart’s memories. I have found great comfort in recent days having lost people deeply close to me in my life, and in the larger world, to focus not on sadness but the afterglow that becomes imprinted on each life that was touched in big ways and small by a life well-lived with a passion for things that are larger than any one of us.

  • Writing, Songwriting, Singing
    SLIDE GUITAR with Natalia Zukerman Saturday February 16, 2-4 pm “I started out with a pocket knife. That’s why I’m doing this now with this here bottleneck.” -Mississippi Fred McDowell. There’s no “right” way to play slide guitar but we all know that unmistakeable sound - the moan and cry of a guitar when played by folks from Mississippi Fred and Robert Johnson to Bonnie Raitt and Ben Harper. In this workshop, we’ll listen to some great slide music, try out different techniques and use various materials - glass, metal and lap style. Alternate tunings will be explored and basic blues forms. Blues and slide guitar, lap steel and dobro virtuoso Natalia Zukerman grew up in New York City, studied art at Oberlin, worked in mural arts in San Francisco, began her songwriting career in Boston, and now resides, writes, plays and paints in Brooklyn NY. She is the daughter of NAC Orchestra violinist and conductor Pinchas Zukerman and classical musician Eugenia Zukerman and sister of opera singer Arianna Zukerman. Here third CD 'Gas Station Roses' was released to critical acclaim in 2011. With diverse influences that include folk, jazz, blues, rock, bluegrass, country and classical, Natalia has been described by US public radio as “an example of the finest Americana.” She combines her unique slide guitar playing style with seductive vocals, a painter’s observing eye, unapologetic writing, and sharp wit. As the New Yorker writes of her: “Natalia’s voice could send an orchid into bloom while her guitar playing can open a beer bottle with its teeth.” Saturday February 16, 2-4 pm, St.
