As one of the only chamber ensembles with all its original members, the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio balances the careers of three internationally-acclaimed soloists while making annual appearances at many of the world's major concert halls, commissioning spectacular new works, and maintaining an active recording agenda. The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio's 25th Anniversary festivities began in June with the Gala Chamber Music Opening Concert at the Caramoor Music Festival, continuing the celebration at the Aspen Music Festival in July, where the Trio assumed the multiple configurations for which it has become renowned: in the complete Beethoven Trio cycle concerts, performing the Beethoven Triple Concerto with the Aspen Chamber Symphony (Jaime Laredo conducting), and with close colleagues Yo-Yo Ma, Emanuel Ax, and Sarah Chang in an all-chamber music evening. In August, the Trio returned to the Mostly Mozart Festival, where it has performed often, for an evening of Beethoven Trios at Alice Tully Hall.

This community has welcomed Catholics of many different nationalities during its hundred -year life span, but it has been the Polish cultures and the traditionally strong Polish Catholic spirit, which has nourished and defined St. Joseph's Parish. Background: Polish Catholicism The effort came too late. Partitioning occurred again in 1793 and 1795. When Napoleon, who was aided by Polish nationalist in his battles against Austria and Prussia, was defeated in 1815, all remaining Polish territory was lost. For more than a century, Poland would not exist as a separate nation. Its people, however, were determined to one day regain their freedom. "Dabrowski's Mazurka," which was written after the partitioning of 1795 and is now Poland's national anthem, begins with these words: While we live she is existing Poland is not fallen;

First she taught in the conducting class next to Hans Swarowsky, and in 1959 she received the title of professor, and from 1970 on she taught concert performing. This position she held until 1980 when she officially became a pensioner. However she continued to work for another 2 years but had to stop when she had a stroke which paralyzed her at one side which made it impossible to continue teaching and performing.

Smith's Orchestra was very successful from 1917 to 1921, reaching its peak popularity around 1919-1920, with the Victor Talking Machine Company issuing new Smith recordings almost every month. The labels on many Smith records have the phrase "for dancing" or "dance music." It recorded fox trots, one-steps, and waltzes, a few featuring a vocal refrain contributed by a Victor studio singer. Although musicians varied, generally eight instruments were used in the band, a combination of violin (Smith was a violinist), viola, piano, cello, trombone, cornet, drums. Smith's Orchestra began recording for the Victor Talking Machine Company on September 25, 1916. From this session came twelve-inch 35593 featuring Stewart James's "Songs of the Night" (the Victor Dance Orchestra is on the reverse side). It was issued in December 1916, and Victor's supplement for that month calls the orchestra "a new organization...popular with New York dancers." "Money Blues" was also recorded at this session but was held for a few months, and that session's take of a Cole Porter song went unissued.

She has premiered new works in New York and in San Francisco, including Roger Session's When Lilacs Last in the Door Yard Bloomed for UC-Berkeley. In addition, contemporary composers Sondra Rae Clark, Susan Owens Alexjander, and Alan Brett have each composed several groups of songs for the singer.

Joseph Gold, Virtuoso Violinist and Cadario had to contend with the extremely long reverberation time night when aconcert by American violinist joseph Gold and Austrian pianist Kurt Rapf http://home.jps.net/~promusica/concert2000.html
Extractions: Front Page Festival Review World News The 1999-2000 Tour Biography Acclaim Links Calendar Spring 2000 Tour Review reprinted with permission Many violinists are merely content to run through today's standard recital format of one sonata after another, rarely bothering to try anything that might disrupt the routine. San Francisco's Joseph Gold, however, chooses to go his own way, playing technically challenging music with a Romantic bent, often centered around a unifying theme. A former student of Jascha Heifetz (you can hear the Heifetz influence in his incisive attacks), Gold has been offering his fresh alternative to the same old thing in major cities like Vienna, Barcelona and Florence on his just-completed European tour. On one Saturday evening, with a young, hugely gifted, Northern Italian pianist Marco Cadario as his partner, Gold put together a program centered around the music of the Italian violin sorcerer Niccolo Paganini. In doing so, Gold and Cadario had to contend with the extremely long reverberation time of the Chiesa Parrocchiele Sangiano, which could easily turn a rapid string of detached notes into blurred tonal hash. Yet with crisply executed attacks and releases, the pair minimized the problems posed by the church's tricky acoustics (Gold and Cadario repeated this program a week later in Florence's Cherubini Conservatory, where the acoustics were friendlier). Sailed through sandtraps Opening with Paganini's "Duetto Amoroso," a lyrical dialogue between male and female lovers (both impersonated by the violin), Gold's interpretation has clearly deepened, emphasizing the difference between the two voices without giving way to excess sentiment. A sonata by the Baroque-period composer Locatelli seemed to look forward about a century in time - and it pushes even further ahead with its ragtime-like syncopations in the second movement. With its recitative-like passages and full-blown arias, Spohr's Violin Concerto No. 8 (transcribed for violin and piano) is actually an operatic scene in all but name - and Gold recognized this by carefully maintaining a sustained singing line while easily sailing through the technical sandtraps that Spohr placed in his path.

Once he had recognized the idea that, "It was about time to do something on my own," Joe pursued his goal with foresight and determination. He rehearsed his band "on and off for a year," while writing music and fine tuning his concept for the CD. He hired topnotch musicians for his rhythm section Vince Cherico on drums and Leo Traversa on bass and enlisted the services of his best friend and "main man," the late Drew Francis on keyboards, flutes, and tenor sax. He immersed himself in Latin music, which he had studied with Oscar Hernández. As a result, six of the tunes on Not Your Typical New Yorker a title which Joseph finds reflective of his own friendly attitude are Latin in structure and feeling. Of course

Essentials Of Music - Composers FRANZ joseph LISZT Born October 22, 1811 spirit, and fills our soul. Hungarian pianist,composer and Liszt's longlasting relationships with two married women http://www.essentialsofmusic.com/composer/liszt.html
Extractions: "Music embodies feeling without forcing it to contend and combine with thought, as it is forced in most arts and especially in the art of words. If music has one advantage over the other media through which a person can represent the impressions of the soul, it owes this to its supreme capacity to make each inner impulse audible without the assistance of reason... Music presents at once the intensity and the expression of feeling. It is the embodied and intelligible essence of feeling, capable of being apprehended by our senses. It permeates them like a dart, like a ray, like a mist, like a spirit, and fills our soul." Hungarian pianist, composer and conductor. Lizst was an innovator in his piano and orchestral works, and created new approaches to form. Franz Liszt embodied all of the great ambitions of the Romantic era, and many of its contradictions. His life spanned three generations of Romantic composers. In his early life, he was an extravagant virtuoso, the darling of the ladies, and a creator of new and adventurous music. In his old age, he turned to the church, becoming a priest, writing sacred music, and championing the music of a new generation.

Long Biography Of Mikel Kuehn studied composition with Samuel Adler, Robert Morris, and joseph Schwantner, and Yorkbasedcontemporary music group Ensemble 21, Canadian pianist Yoko Hirota http://mustec.bgsu.edu/cgi-bin/kpc1.cgi/lbio.html
Extractions: Composer Mikel Kuehn was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on January 14th, 1967, and raised in Denton, Texas; Rochester, New York; and Seal Beach, California. From 1981 to 1985, Kuehn studied jazz improvisation with John Beasley, Rule Beasley, and Michael Carney and performed on vibraphone in several Los Angeles jazz ensembles before attending the University of North Texas (BM 1989) where he studied percussion with Robert Shietroma and composition with Cindy McTee and Phil Winsor. He was first introduced to computer music in 1986 by Larry Austin at the Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia (CEMI). At the Eastman School of Music (MA 1993, Ph.D. 1995), he studied composition with Samuel Adler, Robert Morris, and Joseph Schwantner, and was a staff member of the Eastman Computer Music Center. Currently on the faculty of Bowling Green State University (OH), Kuehn is the Coordinator of the Composition Area and Director of the New Music Ensemble. As a conductor, Kuehn has performed works such as Cage's 3rd Construction, Davies' Eight Songs for a Mad King, Lauba's Mutation Colour, Morris' Tigers and Lilies, Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire, Stockhausen's Kreuzspeil, Varese's Octandre, and the world premiere of Robert Lemay's La Redemption. In November of 2000, he mounted a reconstruction of Stockhausen's Mikrophonie I using the MAX/MSP real-time processing application. Since 2000, Kuehn has been developing a computer music application called nGen. Written in the C programming language and available on multiple platforms, nGen, is a free application for creating Csound scores and standard MIDI files. It is similar in nature to Aleck Brinkman's Score11 and Andre Bartetzki's Cmask using an interpretive language syntax to create dynamic data. nGen will be publicly released in the fall of 2001 and is included on the second edition of The Csound Book CD-ROMS (MIT Press 2000).
