Wilson, Soprano Timothy Miller, Tenor Timothy Hsu, conductor guests meet the artists bios Francisca Vanherle Maxwell Francisca Vanherle Maxwell was born in Argentina but grew up in Belgium where she started her musical education at the age of 5. She attended the Royal Conservatorium in Brussels and obtained a Bachelors and a Master’s degree in Vocal Arts and a degree in Vocal Pedagogy. In 1997, she was granted a Fulbright Scholarship to continue her education at the University of Texas at Austin. She graduated with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Voice Performance in 2002. Currently living in Atlanta, she teaches voice in her private studio and at Agnes Scott College. Francisca also works as a freelance soloist in a versatile repertoire comprising all ages. She has been staged in lead roles of many operas and operettas, among which L’Incorronazione di Poppea, Rinaldo, Alcina, Die Fledermaus and Paganini . She equally portrays herself in oratorio and as a chamber music vocalist. She is a member of the Atlanta based early music group Harmonie Universelle. Her concert life has taken her all over Europe, Russia and the United States. Timothy Boyd Miller Mr. Miller is an active performer with both national and international credits. As a resident of Atlanta Georgia, he has performed with local, national, and international opera companies. Operatic roles include Monastatos and First Armored Man in Mozart’s Die Zauberflӧte, Street in Davis’ X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X, and Un Messaggero in Verdi’s Aida. In June of 2008 Mr. Miller sang the role of Crab Man in critically acclaimed performances of Porgy and Bess at the Opéra-Comique in Paris and on tour in Luxembourg, Granada, and Normandy. He has appeared in concert performances of Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s Magnificat, and a concert version of excerpts from Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier performed with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. In March 2013 Mr. Miller sang the role of Comrade Alexander Ossipon in the world premier of Curtis Bryant’s The Secret Agent with libretto by Alan Reichman. Perhaps most widely recognized for his stirring renditions of “God Bless America” during the seventh inning stretch of Atlanta Braves home games, Miller has extended his exposure well beyond the concert stage. Soloist for the 2011 Georgia Gubernatorial Inauguration Ceremony, featured artist promos for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, and featured artist in the December 2012 edition of The Atlantan Magazine “Patrons and Players” rounds out a growing list of memorable career highlights. In addition to performing, Mr. Miller is an Adjunct Professor of Voice and Music at Morehouse College. elizabeth l. wilson Elizabeth (Beth) L.

Mrs. Wilson earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from the University of Georgia and a Master of Music in Choral Conducting from Georgia State University.

  • Purcell, Handel, Haydn, and Mendelssohn Anniversary Reflections
    Purcell, Handel, Haydn, and Mendelssohn Anniversary Reflections March 2009 Martin Adams Trinity College, Dublin "That what took least, was really best": tensions between the private and public aspects of Purcell's compositional thought. Roger North remembered that Purcell "used to mark what did not take for the best musick, it being his constant observation that what took least, was really best." Purcell's penchant for complexity has been discussed widely; and Alan Howard has recently said that aspects of the composer's practice set him "somewhat apart from contemporary composers and, even more importantly, from the expectations of his audiences." They also set him somewhat apart from the other composers in this conference. My paper will argue that this apartness is rooted in a tension between expectations - those towards himself and towards his paying audience. It is a tension between the private and the public, the private epitomised in music of a "highbrow" kind (whatever its intended audience), and the public epitomised in his theatre music. Via a comparison of works private (especially songs from Harmonia Sacra) and public (mainly theatre songs), the paper will define the thinking and practice that differentiates the two spheres. It will also suggest that the private sphere was so deeply embedded that Purcell's reputation inevitably rests on a small number of works. In that respect too, he makes a revealing comparison with the other composers in this conference.

  • Lobgesang, Or Hymn of Praise Symphony No. 2 in B-‐Flat Major
    1 Lobgesang, or Hymn of Praise Symphony No. 2 in B-flat major (1840) Felix Mendelssohn, composer UW-Madison Choral Union James Smith, director; Anna Volodarskaya, assistant choral conductor Mimmi Fulmer, Elizabeth Hagedorn, Thomas Leighton, soloists May 2, 2015, Mills Concert Hall University of Wisconsin-Madison Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) Was a German composer, conductor, and keyboard player during the early romantic era. He Was fairly prolific, Writing symphonies, concertos, oratorios, piano music, and other chamber music. He Was fortunate enough to groW up in a highly intellectual household. His older sister, Fanny, Was also highly talented in the field of music, but due to the conventions of the time, did not pursue a career of it. Her compositional and instrumental talent no doubt raised Felix’s level of activity and helped him hone his young talent. In addition to this musical company, Mendelssohn’s parents regularly hosted “salons,” gatherings at their home in Which some of the most highly intellectual figures in Berlin would be guests. His earliest musical education focused on piano, counterpoint, and composition, With the compositions of the Bach family ranking high among the Works studied. Felix also had the rare opportunity—much like Haydn at Esterhazy—of hearing his orchestral ideas played regularly by a private orchestra at his disposal, one that Was hired by his parents for their intellectual and social events. These circumstances and advantages helped produce one of the leading composers of the early romantic period, in Germany and in all Europe. 2 Mendelssohn’s symphonies are actually numbered according to their publication, not to the date of their composition.
