It has been accepted for inclusion in All Concert & Recital Programs by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ IC. / r ••• In his 40 years before the public, Jaime Laredo has enraptured millions with passionate and polished performances of rare style and elegance. As a soloist, he has played with over 100 international orchestras, among them the Boston and Chicago Symphonies, the New York Philharmonic, the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras, the London Symphony, and the Royal Philharmonic. He has also collaborated with many eminent artists, including Pablo Casals, Glenn Gould, Mstislav Rostropovich, Rudolf Serkin, and Isaac Stern. As a conductor, Laredo regularly appears with the Baltimore, Hartford, Houston, Montreal, New Jersey, Ottawa, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, and Utah Symphonies. And as an administra­ tor, he directs New York's Chamber Music at the Y series, one of the most important forums for chamber music performance in the United States. Born in Cochabamba, Bolivia, Jaime Laredo began playing the violin at age 5 and gave a full recital at age 8. Three years later he made his orchestral debut with the San Francisco Symphony, prompting the San Francisco Examinerto proclaim: "In the 1920s it was Yehudi Menuhin; in the '30s it was Isaac Stern; and last night it was Jaime Laredo." Over the next few years, he studied with Josef Gingold, Ivan Galamian, and George Szell. In 1959, at the age of 17, Laredo won first prize in the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels, becoming the youngest winner in the history of that prestigious contest. As a member of the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, which he formed in 1976 with his wife, cellist Sharon Robinson, and pianist Joseph Kalichstein, Laredo performs regularly in the music capitals of North and South America, Europe, Australia, and the Far East. The trio appeared at Ithaca College in January 2002. Laredo has recorded over 40 discs on 10 labels. Among them are the complete Bach sonatas for violin and keyboard, with Glenn Gould, and Beethoven's "Triple" Concerto, with Rudolf Serkin and Leslie Parnas. Laredo's recording of Brahms's three piano quartets, with Isaac Stern, Yo-Yo Ma, and Emanuel Ax, won the 1991 Grammy Award for best chamber music recording. Laredo has also won the Deutsche Schallplattenpreis. Other releases include Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante and Concertone, with Cho-Liang Lin and the English Chamber Orchestra, and Brahms's two string sextets, with Isaac Stern, Cho-Liang Lin, Michael Tree, Yo-Yo Ma, and Sharon Robinson. In 1965 Leon Fleisher-"arguably the great classical pianist of his generation," according to Newsweek-could no longer play the piano: the fourth and fifth fingers of his right hand involuntarily clenched into his palm. For the next 30 years, while he searched for a diagnosis and a cure, Fleisher devoted his musical career to teaching, conducting, and gradually master­ ing the literature of left-handed piano technique. His performances and recordings of that repertoire won him critical and popular acclaim, as well as two Grammy Award nominations. l His disorder was finally diagnosed as dystonia, and an injection of Botox relaxed his curled-1.Jp fingers. In 1995, at a concert with the Cleveland Orchestra, Fleisher was able to play the Mozart Concerto in A Major, K. 414, successfully again with both hands. • • • ••• --- --·- ·--- -·---- Jaime Laredo VIOLIN Leon Fleisher PIAN 0 ••• Sonata (Sonatina) in A Minor for Piano and Violin, op. 137/2, D. 385 (1816) Franz Schubert Allegro moderato ( 1797-1828 J Andante Menuetto and Trio Allegro Sonata no. 3 in CJ Minor for Violin and Piano, op. 108 ( 1886-88) Johannes Brahms Allegro [ 1833-97) Adagio Un poco presto e con sentimento INTERMISSION Sonata in A Major for Piano and Violin, op. 162, D. 574 (1817) Franz Schubert Allegro moderato Scherzo Andantino Allegro vivace Patrons are requested to silence signal watches, pagers, and cell phones.

  • San Diego Chamber Orchestra Concert to Include Music by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms
    San Diego Chamber Orchestra concert to include music by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms March 30, 1973 A free program of music by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms will be presented by the San Diego Chamber Orchestra at the University of California, San Diego at 4:30 p.m., Sunday, April 8. The concert, conducted by Glenn Block, will be held in the Recital Hall, Bldg. 409 on the Matthews Campus. The program will include Mozart's "Overture to the Opera, 'Don Giovanni,"' and Brahms' "Serenade No. 1 in D Major, Op. ll." Beethoven's "Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37" will feature Mary Alderdice as pianist. A California born composer, Ms. Alderdice attended the Interlochen Arts Academy and the Eastman School of Music. She studied the work of Bach with Rosalyn Tureck and has also been a student of Leon Fleisher. She has been awarded an International Bach Society Fellowship and performed recently at the Marlboro Music Festival. The San Diego Chamber Orchestra is an ensemble dedicated to creating a new system of orchestral performance which acts as an alternative to the more traditional system of performance of most professional and amateur orchestras. To achieve this new system of performance requires the ensemble to be totally free of any divisive elements that would destroy the interpersonal structure and relationships among members and the various sections of the orchestra. Members feel that traditional orchestra has developed such a highly competitive system that these relationships are destroyed. Members of the Chamber Orchestra also perform as principal players and members of the Civic Youth Orchestra, the San Diego Symphony, and the California State University Orchestra.

  • The Dallas Symphony Orchestra Presents: the Nature of Music May, 2021 Dear Fellow Educators
    The Dallas Symphony Orchestra Presents: The Nature of Music May, 2021 Dear Fellow Educators, As spring arrives each year, I am reminded of the powerful relationship between nature and music. Both start as a single seed (or note!) and go on to blossom into something beautiful. Each plant, like each piece of music, is both a continuation of what came before and the start of something new. With Earth Day just a few weeks before our May concert, we wanted to use this Youth Concert as a way to explore and honor our planet through the lens of classical music. During our program, The Nature of Music, you and your students will hear music inspired by rivers, wildflowers, birds, and a busy bumblebee! Musicians have often used the earth’s natural beauty as inspiration for their music, and they try to use musical sounds to paint a picture for our ears, much like an artist would use different colors to paint a picture for our eyes. Each lesson will help your students explore and experience this connection. This concert will be offered virtually (available May 16 – June 4) but we are also accepting reservations for in-person viewing! Our two back-to-back concerts will be on Wednesday, May 5 at 10am and 11:30am. Please contact me or email my colleague in sales, Sabrina Siggers (contact information below), to reserve your classes reservation. You can see up-to-date Meyerson safety protocol below. We humans have a responsibility to respect and care for animals, plants, and the earth’s natural resources.
