  • Quartetto Dàidalos
    QUARTETTO DÀIDALOS Anna Molinari – violino Tina Vercellino – Violino Lorenzo Lombardo – Viola Lucia Molinari – Violoncello Il Quartetto d'archi Dàidalos nasce a Novara nell'ottobre 2014 dal desiderio di quattro amici di fare musica da camera. Pur formato da giovani strumentisti, il Quartetto Dàidalos ha già al proprio attivo un cospicuo numero di concerti in molte città italiane, tra cui Milano (Casa Verdi, Villa Crespi e Villa Necchi per la Società del Quartetto), Messina (Filarmonica Laudamo), Genova (Associazione Amici di Paganini, Palazzo Rosso), Cremona (Teatro Ponchielli e Auditorium Arvedi), Como (Teatro Sociale) e Novara (Teatro Faraggiana, Auditorium F.lli Olivieri). Nell’estate 2017 è stato quartetto in residence alla 27a edizione del Piedicavallo Festival, suonando in più di una decina di concerti sia come quartetto che in quintetto e sestetto, collaborando con altri musicisti invitati al Festival. Nel 2016 l’ensemble ha ricevuto una borsa di studio dell'Associazione Piero Farulli (“La Pépinière del Quartetto d'Archi”) e nel 2017 una assegnata dalla Gioventù Musicale d’Italia, che ha determinato numerosi concerti premio in città italiane. Nella stagione 2017-2018, il Quartetto Dàidalos si è esibito per prestigiose società ed associazioni concertistiche, tra cui il Paganini Genova Festival, l’Associazione Musica con le Ali, la Società del Quartetto di Milano (Musica nel Tennis), la Società del Quartetto di Bergamo. Ha inoltre avuto il privilegio di suonare in quintetto con Simone Gramaglia (Quartetto di Cremona) ad Helsinki e a giugno 2018 ha tenuto una serie di concerti a San Francisco per le celebrazioni della Festa della Repubblica, in collaborazione con l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura della città statunitense.

Ina Boyle inhabits a unique space in twentieth-century music in Ireland as the first resident Irishwoman to write a symphony. If her name conjures any recollection at all to scholars of British music, it is most likely in connection to Vaughan Williams, whom she studied with privately, or in relation to some of her friends and close acquaintances such as Elizabeth Maconchy, Grace Williams, and Anne Macnaghten. While the appearance of a biography may seem somewhat surprising at first glance, for those more aware of the growing interest in Boyle’s music in recent years, it was only a matter of time for her life and music to receive a more detailed and thorough examination.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

  • The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
    THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing.
