  • Welcome Anthea Kreston! the Artemis Quartet Welcomes Its New Member
    Welcome Anthea Kreston! The Artemis Quartet welcomes its new member Berlin, 18 January 2016 In the past six months, amidst mourning the death of Friedemann Weigle, the Artemis Quartet also came to the decision of continuing its work as an ensemble. Now, the Artemis Quartet is pleased to announce its new member: the American violinist Anthea Kreston, who will take over the second violin position with immediate effect. In a musical chairs scenario, Gregor Sigl will assume the viola position in the quartet. Andrea Kreston, born in Chicago, studied with Felix Galimir and Ida Kavafian at the renowned Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, as well as chamber music with the Vermeer Quartet and Emerson String Quartet. Anthea Kreston was a member of the Avalon Quartet - with whom she won the ARD Competition in 2000 - for seven years. In 1999, she founded the Amelia Piano Trio. She has given many concerts in the United States and Europe with both ensembles. Eckart Runge and Anthea Kreston have known each other for twenty years. They met, as members of different ensembles, at a masterclass given by the Juilliard String Quartet. Eckart Runge: “Already then, Anthea struck me as an extraordinarily brilliant musician and someone who has a big personality. She applied for the available position, travelled to the audition from the West Coast [of the United States] and impressed us with her warm-heartedness, boundless energy and - above all - her fantastic qualities as a musician and violinist. All three of us immediately felt that, in her own way, Anthea reflects the soul of Friedemann and will bring new energy to our quartet.” Anthea Kreston: “It is with a full heart that I join the Artemis Quartet, my favourite quartet since we were all students together at the Juilliard Quartet Seminar 20 years ago.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1996
    TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1996. One measure of a great nation is the vitality of its culture, the dedication of its people to nurturing a climate where creativity can flourish. By support­ ing our museums and theaters, our dance companies and symphony orches­ tras, our writers and our artists, the National Endowment for the Arts provides such a climate. Look through this report and you will find many reasons to be proud of our Nation’s cultural life at the end of the 20th century and what it portends for Americans and the world in the years ahead. Despite cutbacks in its budget, the Endowment was able to fund thou­ sands of projects all across America -- a museum in Sitka, Alaska, a dance company in Miami, Florida, a production of Eugene O’Neill in New York City, a Whisder exhibition in Chicago, and artists in the schools in all 50 states. Millions of Americans were able to see plays, hear concerts, and participate in the arts in their hometowns, thanks to the work of this small agency. As we set priorities for the coming years, let’s not forget the vita! role of the National Endowment for the Arts must continue to play in our national life. The Endowment shows the world that we take pride in American culture here and abroad. It is a beacon, not only of creativity, but of free­ dom. And let us keep that lamp brightly burning now and for all time.

  • Schubert's Flights of Fantasie
    Kristian Chong & Friends Schubert’s Flights of Fantasie LOCAL Monday, 2 May 2016 6pm, Salon HEROES Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre and Kristian Chong & Friends ARTISTS Sophie Rowell, violin Kristian Chong, piano PROGRAM WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Sonata for Piano and Violin in B-flat, K.454 I Largo - Allegro II Andante III Rondo: Allegretto ANDREW SCHULTZ Night Flight (2003) FRANZ SCHUBERT Fantasie for Piano and Violin in C, D.934 Andante molto–Allegretto–Andantino–Tempo I–Allegro vivace–Allegretto–Presto ABOUT THE MUSIC As was customary at the time, Mozart termed his early examples “sonatas for piano with violin ad libitum” but not the later Sonata K454, which he characterised as a “sonata for piano with violin accompaniment”. Yet this is a true chamber partnership, with K454 demanding a violinist of consummate skill. The opening commences with a stately Largo; it quickly retreats into a tender statement before launching into a swift Allegro with many conversational imitations and parallel lines. An Andante follows in which Mozart achieves a masterly blend of cantabile and beauty. A minor episode darkens the mood while maintaining enchanting lyricism. The concluding movement opens with a statement first spoken by the violin, with intervening episodes sandwiched between reprises of the theme giving opportunities to express Mozart’s penchant for unexpected and delectable melodic twists and turns.
