  • Creative Collabs and Technology in the Time of Coronavirus
    COLLAB CORNER Creative Collabs and Technology in the Time of Coronavirus Margo Garrett oday is May 1 in Minnesota and it should be a sunny day. Like many similar days of late, it looks as if it wants to be sunny. I can see bright azure sky peeping out of tiny openings in a translucent covering of Watteau-esque gray. Perhaps Mother Nature does Tnot want to offend our prevailing states of sadness and fear with the overt gleefulness of her brightest splendors. If so, I thank her for her sensitivity. I simply cannot all at once rejoice in coming spring, but trust that Nature will gradually persuade me by her overwhelmingly opulent gifts of warmth, green, fragrance, breeze, and, yes, even sun, to join her May Day dance. I pray that Margo Garrett by the time you read this in September, we will have found a treatment or even a cure. In the meantime, music, musicians, friends, my husband, and Zoom sustain me. I bought a Zoom recorder some years ago for my students to use to record their lessons and to borrow when they needed to make audition videos. The audio is superior, and the video the clearest I have ever seen. A wonderful little machine it is. So when someone asked me in the last year or so if I used Zoom, I enthusiastically responded, “Yes, of course!” How shocked I was, then, to find myself soon thereafter staring at my own live image in a bingo-like grid on my computer desktop with eight other friends and board members smiling in delight and waving at me! What a wonderful invention! Since then, it is my preferred choice of communication—a telephone all grown up and personal.

    ROSEMARY HYLER RITTER Founder/Artistic Director Matthew Morris and Liza Stepanova Associate Artistic Directors “Bright is the ring of words when the right man rings them.” – Robert Lewis Stevenson THE COMPLETE RECITALIST MAY 31-JUNE 28, 2014 The Stern Fellowship Program for Singers and Pianists has generously been funded by The Marc and Eva Stern Foundation. We gratefully acknowledge and thank the Stern family! SongFest is thrilled to announce that two well-known members of our community have joined the artistic team as associate artistic directors this season: Matthew Morris, baritone (Stern Fellow ’10 and Faculty ’12,’13) and Liza Stepanova, pianist (Stern Fellow ’09 & ’10, Faculty ’11,’12, and ‘13). As a program dedicated to the unique marriage of poetry and music brought to life by a singer and a pianist, SongFest could not imagine a better team than these artists who both attended the program as participants and returned each year thereafter as faculty. Matthew has a unique performing career that combines recital (he most recently made his Kennedy Center debut as the winner of the Vocal Arts DC competition), concert (debuts with the London, American, Boston, and MDR Leipzig Symphony Orchestras), opera (including New York City Opera and Santa Fe Opera), theater (the Bouffes du Nord in Paris, West End, and Piccolo Teatro in Milan), and film and television (The Producers and Law & Order). He trained at the Juilliard School, at the Bard Conservatory with Dawn Upshaw, and with Peter Brook and Marcello Magni of the Lecoq school. We are honored that he shares his breadth and depth of experience each summer with our singers as Director of the Young Artist Program.
