ThePhiladelphiaOrchestra MUSIC DIRECTOR YANNICK NÉZET-SÉGUIN our world Ours is a world divided. And yet, night after night, live music brings audiences together, gifting them with a shared experience. This season, Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra invite you to experience the transformative power of fellowship through a bold exploration of sound. 2 2020–21 Season 3 “For me, music is more than an art form. It’s an artistic force connecting us to each other and to the world around us. I love that our concerts create a space for people to gather as a community—to explore and experience an incredible spectrum of music. Sometimes, we spend an evening in the concert hall together, and it’s simply some hours of joy and beauty. Other times there may be an additional purpose, music in dialogue with an issue or an idea, maybe historic or current, or even a thought that is still not fully formed in our minds and hearts. What’s wonderful is that music gives voice to ideas and feelings that words alone do not; it touches all aspects of our being. Music inspires us to reflect deeply, and music brings us great joy, and so much more. In the end, music connects us more deeply to Our World NOW.” —Yannick Nézet-Séguin 4 2020–21 Season 5 philorch.org / 215.893.1955 6A Thursday Yannick Leads Return to Brahms and Ravel Favorites the Academy Garrick Ohlsson Thursday, October 1 / 7:30 PM Thursday, January 21 / 7:30 PM Thursday, March 25 / 7:30 PM Academy of Music, Philadelphia Yannick Nézet-Séguin Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas Conductor Lisa Batiashvili Violin Yannick Nézet-Séguin Conductor Garrick Ohlsson Piano Hai-Ye Ni Cello Westminster Symphonic Choir Ravel Le Tombeau de Couperin Joe Miller Director Szymanowski Violin Concerto No.

  • Sound out Loud Ensemble New Arts Venture Challenge Grant Proposal
    Sound Out Loud Ensemble New Arts Venture Challenge Grant Proposal April 5, 2016 Satoko Hayami DMA Candidate in Collaborative Piano, School of Music Executive Summary History and Makeup of Sound Out Loud Sound Out Loud (SOL) is a new music ensemble that recently launched in Madison. SOL is comprised of 7 forward­looking, classically trained musicians, which includes 2 pianists, 1 percussionist, 1 flutist, 1 clarinetist, 1 violinist and 1 cellist. The group is lead by pianists Satoko Hayami and Kyle Johnson, a percussionist Garrett Mendelow. Mission SOL’s mission is to create a growing circle of musicians and audiences to share the excitement of the innovative, contemporary language of newly/recently composed classical music through a series of creative concerts and presentations primarily in the city of Madison. SOL also commissions works of young upcoming composers to enrich the repertoire of the genre. SOL believes that progressive new classical music expands the audience’s existing perspectives of music, and therefore further enhances their appreciation toward music in general. SOL also understands that new music’s relatable contemporary language helps the audience reconnect with conventional classical music, as inherited by contemporary classical music. Through commitment to contemporary classical music, SOL’s hope is to cultivate a sense of freedom toward classical music as well as toward other aspects of life, without the limitation of a conventional concept of music. Method SOL thrives to present high­energy performances of dynamic programs which are intellectually and emotionally inspirational for a wide array of audiences (including both classical music lovers and non classical music lovers).

Und will man Wissenschaftlern glauben, gibt es Anzeichen für die Existenz einer emotionalen »musikalischen« Protosprache. Dass es solch eine Verbindung gibt, könnte man am Werk Robert Schumanns festmachen, der ein enges Verhältnis zu beiden hatte, Musik wie Sprache. Er gehörte zu den seltenen musikalisch-litera- rischen Doppelbegabungen, vielleicht setzte er deshalb so exzellent Literatur in Musik um und schuf so seine bekannten Liederzyklen, die im April mit dem Tenor Christian Gerhaher zu hören sind. Wenn Michael Wollny nicht Jazzpianist geworden wäre, ließe er seiner Fantasie vielleicht als Schriftsteller freien Raum. Bei uns wird das Michael Wollny Trio den Gesang dem in New York lebenden Sprach- akrobaten und Sänger Theo Bleckmann überlassen. Und russisch-orthodoxe Vokalmusik bringt der Moskauer Kathedralchor u. a. mit seinen berühmten Bass-Stimmen. Dass der Komponist Johann Sebastian Bach Dreh- und Angelpunkt vieler Konzertprogramme ist, ist in der Passionszeit kein Wunder.

  • Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop for Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media
    Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop For Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media Author: Steve Roby Showdate : Feb. 18, 2015 Performance Venue : Yoshi’s Oakland Bay Area legend Dan Hicks performed to a sold-out crowd at Yoshi’s on Wednesday. The audience was made up of his loyal fans (Hicksters) who probably first heard his music on KSAN, Jive 95, back in 1969. At age 11, Hicks started out as a drummer, and was heavily influenced by jazz and Dixieland music, often playing dances at the VFW. During the folk revival of the ‘60s, he picked up a guitar, and would go to hootenannies while attending San Francisco State. Hicks began writing songs, an eclectic mix of Western swing, folk, jazz, and blues, and eventually formed Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks. His offbeat humor filtered its way into his stage act. Today, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Hicks sums up his special genre as “Caucasian hip-hop.” Over four decades later, Hicks still delivers a unique performance, and Wednesday’s show was jammed with many great moments. One of the evenings highlights was the classic “I Scare Myself,” which Hicks is still unclear if it’s a love song when he wrote it back in 1969. “I was either in love, or I’d just eaten a big hashish brownie,” recalled Hicks.
