    Stanford Live Announces Added Events

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Robert Cable, Stanford Live 650-736-0091 [email protected] PHOTOS: http://live.stanford.edu/press STANFORD LIVE ANNOUNCES ADDED EVENTS Brandi Carlile joins the lineup as well two new Cabaret Studio shows featuring Israeli singer Victoria Hanna and the Uriel Herman Quartet. Stanford, CA, October 9, 2017—A decade after the 2007 hit, The Story, that launched her career, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile celebrates that breakthrough with Cover Stories, a release of covers by an eye-popping cast that includes Adele, Pearl Jam, Dolly Parton, the Indigo Girls and, in a forward note to the collection, Barack Obama. Stanford Live audiences can expect a few of her seminal songs as well as some holiday tunes when Carlile performs with longtime bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth (aka “the Twins”) as part of their Winter Acoustic tour at Stanford’s Memorial Auditorium on December 15. Also, just added to the season are two more shows in Stanford Live’s Cabaret series, which is presented in Bing Concert Hall’s cozy 160-seat underground Studio. On November 29, the Jerusalem- based singer Victoria Hanna, called “the freshest, edgiest, weirdest artist on the Israeli airwaves,” performs new work she is developing at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at UC Berkeley, during her fall residency there. Then on January 20, the Bing Studio will host the U.S. debut tour of Israeli jazz piano virtuoso Uriel Herman and his Quartet, who combine jazz, Middle Eastern influences, and alternative rock for a uniquely captivating sound.
  • What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone

    What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone

    291 What Handel Taught the Viennese about the Trombone David M. Guion Vienna became the musical capital of the world in the late eighteenth century, largely because its composers so successfully adapted and blended the best of the various national styles: German, Italian, French, and, yes, English. Handel’s oratorios were well known to the Viennese and very influential.1 His influence extended even to the way most of the greatest of them wrote trombone parts. It is well known that Viennese composers used the trombone extensively at a time when it was little used elsewhere in the world. While Fux, Caldara, and their contemporaries were using the trombone not only routinely to double the chorus in their liturgical music and sacred dramas, but also frequently as a solo instrument, composers elsewhere used it sparingly if at all. The trombone was virtually unknown in France. It had disappeared from German courts and was no longer automatically used by composers working in German towns. J.S. Bach used the trombone in only fifteen of his more than 200 extant cantatas. Trombonists were on the payroll of San Petronio in Bologna as late as 1729, apparently longer than in most major Italian churches, and in the town band (Concerto Palatino) until 1779. But they were available in England only between about 1738 and 1741. Handel called for them in Saul and Israel in Egypt. It is my contention that the influence of these two oratorios on Gluck and Haydn changed the way Viennese composers wrote trombone parts. Fux, Caldara, and the generations that followed used trombones only in church music and oratorios.
  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces

    The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces

    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

    Songwriter Extraordinaire Billy Vera Stops in for a Very Interesting Chat "The Person Who Doesn't Scatter the Morning Dew Will Not Comb Gray Hairs." Hunter S

    For Immediate Release Contact: Andy Goldfinger Grand Poohbah Flying Eye Radio Network ASCAP/BMI (818) 917-5183 Songwriter Extraordinaire Billy Vera Stops In For A Very Interesting Chat "The Person Who Doesn't Scatter The Morning Dew Will Not Comb Gray Hairs." Hunter S. Thompson, Famed American Philosopher Malibu, California, November 29, 2012 - This week’s addition of the Flying Eye Radio Network’s Music Gumbo features musician and songwriter Billy Vera in a candid interview with host Andy Goldfinger. Growing up with both parents in the entertainment industry, Vera began his music career when he was still a teenager with the first song he ever presented to a publisher, “Mean Old World,” becoming a chart hit for Ricky Nelson. Since then Vera has found success in songwriting, writing songs for artists such as Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant, Fats Domino, and his own band Billy & the Beaters. In the mid-80s, Vera received a phone call from the producer of the popular series “Family Ties” that changed his career. They wanted to use the Billy & the Beaters song "At This Moment” in an episode that resulted in great public response and sprang the song to #1 nationally. Billy Vera’s career does not stop there with music. Vera has taken on side-projects including appearing in various cult movies and TV shows such as his recurring role on “Beverly Hills, 90210.” He has also taken up voiceover acting and can be heard singing the theme song to the popular show “King of Queens.” Vera continues to write music with his most recent album, “Big Band Jazz,” released earlier in the month.
