    \ SPU Manila INTER-OFFICE BULLETIN Vol. XII No. 26 10 December 2018 CECILE LICAD SUPPORTS ST. PAUL MUSIC THERAPY CENTER Contributed by Marilyn Abalos Acclaimed pianist, Cecile Licad, was featured at the St. Paul Manila Alumnae USA CD Launch of her latest CD, American Dreams, recently in Loida Nicolas Lewis’s residence on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The event benefitted the St. Paul Music Therapy Center, along with education scholarships and more through the Fleur-de-lis Fund. David Dubal, noted music broadcast commentator of WQXR, spoke about Cecile’s CD series. To the delight of the guests, Cecile played in a short program of Chopin’s “Etude Op. 10 No.3” (No Other Love), Gottschalk’s “Souvenirs d’ Andalousie,” and “Larawan” by Francisco Buencamino Sr., noted Filipino musician and composer and her granduncle. “Cecile Licad’s three piano pieces played with gusto and delicacy were mesmerizing! Chopin’s was romantic, Gottschalk’s was combative, and Buencamino’s was nostalgic,” Mrs. Lewis said. “What a memorable evening—the launch of Cecile’s monumental CD with fundraising for St. Paul Music Therapy Center! The introduction by WQXR David Dubal gave gravitas to the event. Bravo to everyone involved.” The event promoted Cecille’s unique selection of American piano music by Aaron Copland, Anthony Philip Heinrich, Percy Grainger, William Mason, Edward MacDowell, Arthur Farwell, Leo Ornstein, and William Grant. For more information about Cecile’s CD American Dreams, visit www.spma-usa-inc.org. Diamond Fleur-de-lis Donors were Lolita Compas, Lily Gamboa-O’Boyle, Jorge Ortoll, and Anonymous, with 40 Silver Fleur-de-lis Donors and Friends.

Printed in the U.S.A. FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO Dear Friends, Thank you for attending the Fresno Philharmonic! We are so pleased to have you with us to share in the unique experience of live orchestral music. Our hope is that you come away from the Fresno Philharmonic with a deeper sense of connection to music and the artists who write and perform it. The Fresno Philharmonic’s 2019-20 season is all about making connections through music. By exploring works from the theater, opera and movies, as well as the concert hall, we’ll attempt to redefine what an orchestra concert can be. This seems only appropriate given that 2020 marks the world-wide celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary. More than any other composer, Beethoven redefined classical music in ways that still reverberate today.

  • Rachmaninov (1873-1943)
    RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET CONCERTOS A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) Born at Oneg, Novgorod Region. He had piano lessons from an early age but his serious training in composition began at the Moscow Conservatory where he studied counterpoint with Sergei Taneyev and harmony with Anton Arensky. He began to compose and for the rest of his life divided his musical time between composing, conducting and piano playing gaining great fame in all three. After leaving Russia permanently in 1917, the need to make a living made his role as a piano virtuoso predominant. His 4 Piano Concertos, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and substantial solo piano works make him one of the world's most-performed composers. However, he also composed operas and liturgical choral works as well as other pieces for orchestra, chamber groups and voice.

  • CECILE LICAD, Piano Called
    CECILE LICAD, piano Called "a pianist's pianist" by The New Yorker , Cecile Licad's artistry is a blend of daring musical instinct and superb training. Her natural talent was honed at the Curtis Institute of Music by three of the greatest performer/pedagogues of our time: Rudolf Serkin, Seymour Lipkin and Mieczyslaw Horszowski. Licad's large repertoire as an orchestral soloist spans the Classical works of Mozart and Beethoven, the Romantic literature of Brahms, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Schumann and Rachmaninoff, and on to the 20th century compositions of Debussy, Ravel, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Bartok. Cecile can be heard in her recently released album titled “Music of the Night: American Nocturnes” (Danacord). The album is the second volume of her critically acclaimed Anthology of American Piano Music , which explores lesser played music of American Composers. Of the Anthology, Pianist Magazine wrote “To hear a master pianist like Cecile Licad tackle these works is a luxury not often granted when unknown piano music is concerned. It’s usually left to the second­division pianists to be dragged into the studio to record the ‘outsiders’. Not so here.” Ms. Licad’s recent engagements included the Nashville Symphony’s summer season playing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto at the opening concert; Liszt’s Concerto No.1 and Totentanz in the Cultural Center of the Philippines with the ABS­CBN Symphony; a recital at the Husum Rare Music Festival in Germany, as well as at Festival Miami; Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the San Antonio Symphony under Sebastian Lang­Lessing; Rachmaninoff’s Variations on a Theme by Paganini with the Rhode Island Philharmonic, under Lawrence Rachleff; returns to the Buffalo Philharmonic and the Adrian (MI) Symphony orchestras; performing with the Northwest Sinfonietta in Seattle and Tacoma, as well as the Tupelo Symphony; and recitals in Boston’s Isabella Gardner Museum and at the Harvard Musical Association, also in San Jose, CA and in Bogota, Colombia.
