Eddy Brown. Around the time of his London debut.
Courtesy of John Maltese.
Brown, Eddy (15 July 1895-14 June 1974) , violinist and radio pioneer, was born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Jacob Brown, a tailor and amateur violinist from Austria, and Rachel "Ray" Brown (maiden name unknown) from Russia. His mother, who had a keen interest in Christian Science, named him after Mary Baker Eddy. The Brown family moved to Indianapolis when Eddy was four. He took his first violin lessons from his father and then studied with Hugh McGibney at the Metropolitan School of Music (later Butler University's Jordan College), giving his first public recital at the age of six. In 1904 he traveled to Europe and entered the Royal Conservatory of Music in Budapest to study violin with Jenö Hubay. His teachers there included Eugene Ormandy and became a famous conductor.) The next year Brown opened the new hall at the Liszt Conservatory with a performance of the Mendelssohn concerto. In 1909 Brown graduated from the Royal Conservatory with an artist's diploma and the Premier Prix. That year he made his official Budapest debut with a performance of the Beethoven concerto. David Popper called it the best performance of the concerto that he had heard since Joseph Joachim. Brown continued his studies that summer with Hubay in Ostende and in October made his London debut at Albert Hall, playing the Tchaikovsky concerto with the London Philharmonic under Sir Landon Ronald. The renowned violin teacher Leopold Auer encouraged Brown to study with him in Russia. Brown agreed. After an extensive tour of England, Brown made his Russian debut and entered Auer's class at the St. Petersburg Conservatory the same month as did another prodigy

Employment

Financial aid decisions are made for the full academic year on the basis of financial need, academic performance, and the availability of funds for your program of study. A student must demonstrate financial need, which is the difference between a student's educational costs and the amount the student and his or her parents are expected to provide as determined by an evaluation of the family's financial information. Eligibility for federal funds will be based on the student's and/or the family's financial information and formulas legislated by Congress. For the purpose of awarding University grant funds, standard institutional calculations will be applied to family financial information to determine need. These calculations have proven over the years to provide an equitable and reasonable assessment of a family's ability to contribute to educational expenses. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed to apply for all federal financial aid. However, to be considered for University grant funds, undergraduates must also submit the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Financial Aid PROFILE.

http://www.sonyclassical.com/artists/hahn/adnews.html
Winner of the 2001 Cannes Classical Award in the Solo/Orchestra 20th Century category
Violinist Hilary Hahn premieres a new violin concerto written for her by American composer Edgar Meyer on a new CD which also features Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto. Joining Hahn for the recording are conductor Hugh Wolff and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra , with whom she collaborated in the world premiere performances of the Meyer concerto just a few days before the recording was made.
A composer and double bass virtuoso equally at home in classical and traditional American music, Meyer is like Hahn an exclusive Sony Classical artist. The label commissioned the violin concerto for Hahn.
"I could not be happier that a work with so much spirit, power, dramatic range and lyrical beauty is dedicated to me," Hahn said in describing the work, which she calls "a superb and challenging concerto by one of the most original composers writing in the late twentieth century."
Coupled with it is a more established work that also has strong ties to the Curtis Institute of Music the Violin Concerto of American composer Samuel Barber. Barber, a Curtis alumnus, wrote his concerto in 1939 as a commission for a young violinist and Curtis graduate who was displeased with the final results. It was another Curtis student, Herbert Baumel, who proved in an impromptu test that the concerto's finale was not "unplayable" as had been suggested. Baumel gave the unofficial first performance of the concerto with the school's orchestra, led by Fritz Reiner, though the official premiere came in 1941 with violinist Albert Spalding and the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy.

AMERICAN VOICES
Program Notes
Aaron Copland, Music For The Theatre
"Certain musical works seem to have careers of their own, independent of those of their authors. For several years after it was written, conductors programmed Music for the Theatre more frequently than any other piece of mine. I suspect that this was partly because of the jazz content in several of the movements.
Music for the Theatre was written with no specific play in mind. It had started with musical ideas that might have been combined as incidental music to a play, were the right one at hand. The music seemed to suggest a certain theatrical atmosphere, so I chose the title after developing the ideas into five short movements." This introduction to Music for the Theatre by Aaron Copland (1900-1990) himself can be amplified only by mentioning that Serge Koussevitzky commissioned the work for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and that it was written and premiered in 1925. This was the height of the Jazz Age, a year following the premiere of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue (though there is little connection between Gershwin's idea of jazz and Copland's). Describing the Prologue, the composer writes

... Edward MacDowell WORKS FOR PIANO performed by Alan Mandel (2-CD set)

Alan Mandel, piano Edward MacDowell
After marrying Marian Nevins, MacDowell settled for about three years (1885-1888) in Wiesbaden where the couple received among other musical friends, George Templeton Strong, Jr., George Whitefield Chadwick, Arthur Foote, and most importantly, Benjamin Johnson Lang, one of the arbiters of musical taste in Boston. Lang subsequently convinced MacDowell to move to the Boston area to pursue his career as a composer, performer, and teacher. He made his American debut in Boston as composer-pianist at a Kneisel Quartet concert at Chickering Hall, November 19,1888 playing three movements from his First Modern Suite and assisting in Goldmark's Piano Quintet in B-flat. On Lang's recommendation, Wilhelm Gericke invited MacDowell to play Ids new Second Piano Concerto, Op. 23, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the spring of 1889, but he actually played the work with an orchestra under Theodore Thomas in New York, s Chickering Hall on March 5, 1889, a month before the Boston concerto April 12, The conductor Frank van der Stucken invited MacDowell to play the concerto in a concert of American music at the Paris Exposition Universelle on July 12. From that inaugural year of 1888 to 1896, when he left Boston to accept an appointment as Columbia University's first professor of music, MacDowell's successes as a virtuoso and composer continued unabated. It was during this period that most of the major works on which his reputation as a composer rests were created: Hamlet and Ophelia, Op. 22; Lancelot and Elaine, Op. 25; Six Love Songs, Op. 40; First Orchestral Suite, Op. 42;Sonata tragica, Op.45; Eight Songs, Op. 47; The Indian Suite (Second Orchestral Suite), Op. 48; Sonata eroica, Op, 50; and Woodland Sketches, Op. 51.
