Extractions: e-mail: peter-alexander@uiowa.edu Release: Jan. 11, 2002 Trio of UI faculty and guests will perform Schubert and Dvorak Jan. 22 IOWA CITY, Iowa Cellist Amos Yang has performed at the University of Iowa as a member of the Maia String Quartet, as a concerto soloist with the University Symphony and as a solo recitalist. He will add to that list when he performs in a piano trio with two guest artists his wife, violinist Alicia Yang, and an old acquaintance, pianist Melvin Chen at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, in Clapp Recital Hall on the UI campus. They will perform two of the major 19th-century works for piano trio: the Trio in B-flat major, D. 898, of Franz Schubert, and the Trio in F minor, op. 65, of Antonin Dvorak. The performance will be free and open to the public. Chen brings an unusual dimension to the trio. A multi-talented performer, he has studied and played professionally as both violinist and pianist. He holds a double master's degree from the Juilliard School in piano and violin, and a doctorate in chemistry from Harvard University. At Yale, he performed as a piano soloist with the Yale Symphony after winning the William Waite concerto competition as a freshman, and later won the competition again to appear with the orchestra as a violin soloist. "Melvin Chen is an interesting story by himself," Yang says. "He is mainly a pianist right now, but he and I have performed before as a duo when he was playing the violin. He is clearly some sort of genius with the ability to excel on both instruments at Juilliard and Yale and at Harvard in chemistry!"

Extractions: April 2-17, 1999 by Deborah Kravetz This reprise of the American Music Theater Festivals 1995 Obie-award winning production opens with the cast silhouetted against a sunrise scrim, a technique that is used throughout to demarcate scenes. The tone is bluegrass twang with guitar and harmonica; the singing is country colloquial; the text is free verse that sometimes falls into those annoying rhyming couplets so characteristic of 1980s musicals. OK, what is it? Too talky and not enough music to be a musical, its almost crying out to become an operasinging through the dialog might dignify the material that Guettel has already composed as long meandering phrases in conversational rhythm. The story is simple: Floyd gets trapped in an underground cave with visions of creating a spectacular tourist attraction in rural Kentucky of 1925. When he cant get out, he philosophizes and hallucinates. Friends and family attempt to help, and philosophize, and the rescue crew and media create a carnival atmosphere, and philosophize. The music is not memorable; what remains as memorable is the visual: The Riddle Song of Floyds and his brothers energetic reminiscences, and the reporters Is That Remarkable , for its dance, its sudden close, three-part harmony and ragtime rhythm (but not a melody in sight), and satiric lyrics about newspapers and reporting. Get Comfortable is a hard blues number with a rhythmic driving bass that takes place during a rainstorm (really, on stage). The only motif that stayed with me was Floyds echoing yo-do-di-oh-do yodel, which is perilously close to the vamp of New York, New York.

Extractions: From the President... It is really wonderful to see the change in both the playing and the confidence of Marina Kolomiitseva since the Year 2000 Competition. We all remember her as a very shy and almost frightened young lady as she undertook her concert tour after the Competition. Now her playing has a greater authority and maturity and, together with her flawless technique, she is able to hold the audience spellbound throughout each performance. Her interaction with the audience has also greatly improved. She has been talking with the audience after her recitals in several cities as she is now much more fluent in English. A report from the Head of Piano at the Queensland Conservatorium after her sellout performance indicated that it was a very fine recital with that special spark of a real artist. Every day, we are still receiving requests for application forms for the 2004 Competition. We plan to launch the Audition Booklet in September this year, at the same making it available from our web site.

In addition, the master also wrote several unnumbered pieces, generally based upon works by other composers. We will end our year long examination of Schoenberg, then, with a broadcast of his Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra (after Handel) (1933). From time to time, as I acquire some of his other transcriptions, I will give them pride of place. 1.
