Britten and his stage director, Eric Crozier, traveled from England to oversee the production. Leonard Bernstein conducted the orchestra of the Berkshire Music Center (now the Tanglewood Music Center) and the vocalists were chosen from members of the Music Center's opera department. In recognition of that event's fiftieth anniversary—being cele- brated here this summer by Tanglewood Music Center per- formances of Peter Grimes under Seiji Ozawa's direction—the Boston Symphony Archives, with the assistance of the Historical Preservation Com- mittee of the BSAV at Tanglewood, has mounted an exhibit including reproductions of rehearsal and production photographs as well as correspondence and newspaper clippings about the production. The exhibit is free of charge and located in the Tanglewood Visitor Center on the first floor of the Tanglewood Manor House at the rear of the lawn across from the Koussevitzky Music Shed. The photograph is of Benjamin Britten and Serge Koussevitzky at Tanglewood in 1946. Administration Kenneth Haas, Managing Director Daniel R.

    Carlisle Public Schools

    Carlisle Public Schools The Carlisle Public School and the Carlisle School Committee worked together in 2016 to provide an excellent educational experience for the children of Carlisle. There were some changes that inevitably occur in an organization, but our mission statement continued to guide all that we do: The mission of the Carlisle Public Schools is to provide a collaborative and caring community in which each student is known, understood, and valued so that students can learn to their fullest potential in a safe, inclusive environment with high expectations and clear standards for all. The School Committee managed the biggest change in the district in 2016 with the hiring of a new superintendent, James F. O’Shea, following the resignation of Dr. Joan Wickman at the end of 2015. Parents, students, and community members were involved in the superintendent search, which was an exhaustive and thorough process, facilitated by the consulting firm of HYA Associates. In addition to the mission statement cited above, the district vision statement provided a yardstick for evaluating candidates for the school’s leadership: The vision of the Carlisle Public Schools is to inspire intellectual and ethical excellence so our students are prepared to participate with integrity in a global community. Mr. O’Shea began his work in Carlisle in August and immediately engaged staff and parents, and in September, met our students. He spent the first months of his tenure learning about the school and about Carlisle through attending both town and school events and meeting citizens and town officials. In other personnel changes, two long- serving teachers, Mimi Chandler and Patricia Comeau, retired after many years of dedicated service.
  • Weinzweig Long

    Weinzweig Long

    John Weinzweig (1913-2006) Born in 1913 to Polish-Jewish immigrants, John Weinzweig became a noted Canadian composer, educator and advocate. He began music study at the age of 14, learning mandolin at the Workmen’s Circle Peretz School, a Jewish community school in North Toronto. During his high school years at Harbord Collegiate, Weinzweig joined the orchestra playing the violin parts on the mandolin but eventually learned the tuba, tenor saxophone, and bass. Weinzweig’s early musical training led to an interest in composition and he spent between 1934-37 studying at the University of Toronto with Healy Willan, Leo Smith, and Sir Ernest McMillan. During his time at the University of Toronto Weinzweig founded and conducted the University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Following the completion of his education in Toronto, Weinzweig moved to Rochester, NY to study with Howard Hanson at the Eastman School of Music. There he was first introduced to serial compositional techniques. Upon his return to Toronto, Weinzweig experimented with serialism in his Piano Suite no. 1 (1939) and in incidental music for docudrama radio programming at the growing CBC. For the remainder of his career, Weinzweig continued to use serialism as the governing structure behind his compositions even when he experimented with other musical ideas. Following a decade long tenure at the CBC (1941-51), Weinzweig’s compositional interests returned to concert music. He began composition of his Divertimenti, with Divertimento no. 1 winning an award for chamber music at the 1948 Olympics. Works such as String Quartet no. 1 and Suite for Piano no.

    1983: Improvements Have Been Made to Schools, Water Projects, Recreation Facilities, Elderly Housing, and Highway Department Buildings

    THE COVER To the Citizens of West Newbury: Pictured on the cover are the subjects of several projects under­ taken or completed during 1983: improvements have been made to schools, water projects, recreation facilities, elderly housing, and highway department buildings. These efforts reflect the cooperative and productive environment which existed among departments and town committees in 1983. Broad based committees with representatives from our schools, the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, and interested towns­ people have undertaken reviews of school facilities. Major ex­ terior repairs have been defined for the Page School. Now educa­ tional programs are being assessed in terms of renovations to the Page and Central Schools. The town may be asked this spring to place all our elementary educational programs in the Page School. 1983 also marked the completion of the new water tank, pumping station and meter pit by the Water Department. A new long-term contract for water has been agreed to in principle with Newbury­ port, at reduced rates for West Newbury citizens. In the foreground of the picture are two professional quality horse rings and a new Highway Department salt shed. The horse rings were built with a lot of help by the Riding and Driving Club. We now have outstanding equistrian facilities which are used by townspeople and are rented to groups to help pay for further improvements to the area. The salt shed was built with a grant from the Commonwealth and will help pnotect the environ­ ment and highway department equipment. The Mill Pond Committee is working hard with the help of several townspeople and the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission to clean up the pond.

Prokofiev was renowned for his uncompromisingly direct behaviour. On one occasion he berated a famous singer saying – within the hearing of her many admirers – that she understood nothing of his music. Seeing her eyes brim, he mercilessly sharpened his tongue and humiliated her still further: ‘All of you women take refuge in tears instead of listening to what one has to say and learning how to correct your faults.’ One of Prokofiev’s long-suffering friends in France, fellow Russian émigré Nicolas Nabokov, sought to explain the composer’s boorishness by saying ‘Prokofiev, by nature, cannot tell a lie. He cannot even say the most conventional lie, such as “This is a charming piece”, when he believes the piece has no charm. […] On the contrary he would say exactly what he thought of it and discuss at great length its faults and its qualities and give valuable suggestions as to how to improve the piece.’ Nabokov said that for anyone with the resilience to withstand Prokofiev’s gruff manner and biting sarcasm he was an invaluable friend.

    C L A S S I C A L M U S I C D A I L Y Schizophonia — Issue 124, 1 August 2018 SPONSORED FEATURE — 'MY LIFE ON EARTH & ELSEWHERE' A P Virag: It is a sad fact that in Canada far too few of its people know the name R Murray Schafer and far more know hockey players and certain pop singers better left unmentioned. In this autobiography Schafer recollects his life, his work, his personal responses to literature, people and nature — the last most especially in its sounding form, for Schafer is above all a composer. And sadly, he recalls the people who either stood in his way, maltreated him or behaved in unprofessional fashion. Depending on your character (optimist or pessimist), you will read this as a pean to creativity or a litany of uncalled-for struggles. Both views are correct: one way, and the other. Schafer wrote a novel entitled Wolftracks, which can be read either from the first right hand page to the end or from the last left hand page to the front. The tale is an 'ouroboros' and circles forever. But both 'sides' are present. My Life on Earth & Elsewhere by R Murray Schafer The negative experiences might give a certain dramatic 2012, The Porcupine's Quill, 280pp, ISBN 9780889843523 fervour (how could they have done that?), but it is probably better to focus upon the good. Further, when it is a matter of Schafer's creativity, there is so much to be amazed at. Surprisingly, Schafer retains the usual pattern of autobiographies: from beginning until now.
