I’m sure you will be hearing a lot more about our amazing artist presenters in the coming months, but espe- cially if you are a last-minute person (ahem, that would include me) or if the cost of paying for registration tends to sneak up on you late in the spring, why not set up a small savings plan this month to cover the cost of attending? Some teachers designate a student each year, whose monthly tuition goes to- wards conference costs. In the nine months between now and registration time, you will have the modest registration fee covered. For those lucky members living in the Portland metro area, mileage and travel costs will be nil — the 2018 conference will be held in Vancouver, Washington, just across the river from home.

11 OMTA Music News Willamette University Grace Goudy Distinguished Artists Series 2017-18 Season presents Julianne Baird & Marcia Hadjimarkos

Wednesday, October 18, 7:30 p.m., Hudson Concert Hall, Mary Stuart Rogers Music Center

Through her “SONGBOOK” Jane Austen herself springs to life: her special likes and dislikes, her boisterous sense of humor, her passions, and her true nature is revealed. The Grace Goudy Distinguished Artists Series is proud to begin its 2017-2018 season Wednesday night, October 18th, 7:30 p.m., with Julianne Baird, a soprano the New York Times has hailed as a “national artistic treasure” returning for the 3rd time in a collaboration with forte pianist Marcia Hadjimarkos. Together they present a completely unique program.

Julianne Baird Marcia Hadjimarkos

By 1770 the fortepiano had, to a large degree replaced the harpsichord, and Jane Austen as part of the education expected of that generation of young women, acquired considerably more than a passing knowledge of music and contemporary composition. Her insights, tastes and interests were reflected in what we might, in today’s parlance, refer to as the making of a “mix tape”- an anthology of one’s favorite compositions for a friend. This is Austen’s “Songbook”; Soprano Julianne Baird, and Marcia Hadjimarkos have created a superb and imaginative program of musical works, along with readings from Austen’s novels in order to bring her favorite music and thus her spirit back to life.

We are fortunate to invite back to Willamette these superlative artists. Marcia Hadjimarkos is performing on an instrument, the fortepiano, whose new dynamic range and subtlety of response can be seen as a metaphor joining the worlds of music and literature. Her playing is described in Diapason; “Beyond the wondrous sensitivity of her touch, two elements stand out: her very flexible approach to rhythm and her witty, sometimes daringly profuse and yet always idiomatic ornamentation. In short this is the most satisfying playing of Mozart I have heard in a long time”.

Julianne Baird, whom the Washington Post describes as having “exquisite instrument which she uses with the intelligence of a scholar...the best voice of any living musicologist”, and Marcia Hadjimarkos will also present, as part of their residency, a master-class for singers Tuesday, October 17th, at 2:00 p.m. on the stage of Hudson Hall at Willamette University. Admission is free for the master-class. Julianne Baird is also a supremely accomplished teacher who regularly gives master-classes at Yale, Juilliard, and Oberlin. Please join us for both the concert and the masterclass!

MASTER CLASS — free and open to the public. Tuesday, October 17, 2 p.m . Hudson Concert Hall

CONCERT TICKETS — general admission seating Wednesday, Oct. 18, 7:30 p.m., Hudson Concert Hall Season Ticket (2 concerts) $40.00 – Adult only; Single Adult Tickets $23; Students w/ID $8; Willamette student w/ID $5; Willamette faculty/staff w/ID $18. Available at boxofficetickets.com. For further information: Willamette University Music Department, 503-370-6255. willamette.edu/arts/goudyartistseries

The 2017-18 season concludes Friday night, February 23rd, 7:30 p.m., in Smith Auditorium with a solo recital performed by one of Oregon’s most beloved musicians, a consummate artist, and one of the world’s great pianists, Jeffrey Kahane. District News Central Oregon

Our June 2017 meeting was held at the Sunriver home of Jodie Bischof.
