Sponsored by the Presidential Lectures and Symposia in the Humanities and Arts, the Nov. 5-6 discussions will involve Stanford faculty members and external scholars from a wide range of disciplines. The interdisciplinary emphasis will be highlighted by a recital performed by pianist Charles Rosen at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 5, in Dinkelspiel Auditorium. Rosen will play works by Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms. The recital is to serve as a musical illustration of the remarks Rosen will offer the following morning as a member of the panel discussion on "Emergence: Natural History/Human History." Related Information: Tickets for the Rosen recital are $15 for adults and $8 for students, and may be purchased at the Tresidder Ticket Office or by calling (650) 725-2787.

Extractions: Love Denied Part 1: Wong Kar-Wai and Eric Rohmer feel frisky Zouzou thinks infidelity is just dandy New York theaters are currently showing two movies from different cultures and different decades filmed in wildly different styles that are about the same thing: the temptation of an extramarital affair. One of them, Wong Kar-Wai's "In the Mood for Love," is a new release, the other, Eric Rohmer's "Chloe in the Afternoon," is nearly 30 years old. Both films - stylistically as different as they could be - hit home with uncanny power, one through rational observation, the other through its wordless suggestiveness.

Extractions: David Wiegand Wednesday, March 12, 2003 No one can say how good the show will be, of course, but the casting for the Broadway-bound "Wicked" is shaping up to be, well, wicked good. The new musical by Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell"), set to open in previews May 28, will feature some major star wattage on the stage of the Curran, not to mention the directorial hand of Joe Mantello ("Take Me Out," "Dead Man Walking"). The cast of "Wicked," a kind of prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," will feature Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, Idina Menzel as Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West), Tony winner Robert Morse as the Wizard, Tony nominee Norbert Leo Butz as Fiyero and Tony winner Carole Shelley as Madame Morrible. That's a ton of Tonys! Here's a crib sheet on some of the credits of the stars: Chenoweth: "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" and the recent TV "The Music Man"; Morse: "How to Succeed in Business . . ." and "Tru"; Shelley, the stage and film versions of "The Odd Couple"; Butz: Bay Area audiences saw him as the Emcee in "Cabaret"; Menzel: the original cast of "Rent." The Magic Theatre has announced the titles of the two remaining plays for the current season. Martin McDonagh's "The Lonesome West," the third of the Tony-winning playwright's Leenane trilogy, opens June 13. "Love and Taxes," the latest from Bay Area playwright-performer Josh Kornbluth, will open June 20.

Extractions: by Kim Anderson Kendra Bayer, who received her Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture last May, came to UM almost by accident. Visiting a museum in hometown Indianapolis with her parents, Bayer discovered a piece by Missoula artist Nancy Erickson. Bayer pursued the lead and found herself at UM's sculpture program. "This has just been an incredible place for me to work," she says. "The program is wonderful, especially if you're self-motivated. I like the fact that it's small, and if you choose to get a lot of attention, you can." During Bayer's years in Missoula, her figurative bronze and aluminum pieces grew bigger and started to tell a story largely influenced by her art therapy work with Alzheimer's patients. Many of the pieces feature perambulators, baby bottles, dressmakers' forms of the female torsostrong images of motherhood and childhood. "My thesis show was titled 'Know Who You Are,' which came directly from my work with Alzheimer's patients," Bayer says. "Often the things that remained clearest for them were their childhood and their early parenthood. Holding a doll would trigger a powerful connection. That led me to look more closely at who we really are." When Jee Kiat Wong transferred to UM in 1992 from Malaysia, he was an undergraduate majoring in radio and television. Now he's pursuing a master's degree in music.

Extractions: Issue date: August 04, 1999 By LIZ GANNES The audience shouts for the star as the voluble announcer rattles off an impressive list of achievements: He has performed with David Benoit, Dave Brubeck and Diana Krall in the past year alone, he's an accomplished pianist and composer, and a gifted improvisor. But the audience just wants to hear him play. The musician steps onto the stage, unaccustomed to his pressed suit, but leading with his enormous smile. The announcer finishes up: "Ladies and gentlemen, Taylor Eigsti." The crowd erupts with approval as the first song begins, and exclamations of amazement and disbelief filter through the air as people check their programs twice, wondering if what they see is a typo: He's only 14? On his way Contrary to the typical indecisive teenager, Taylor Eigsti has decided on his future: He was meant to play the piano, and plans to make a career of it. The young Menlo Park resident is closer than most get to realizing their dreams; he's an accomplished jazz pianist with a full bill of performances this summer. And he's happy to be in the limelight as long as his concerts don't take too much time away from perfecting his Pac-Man skills and shooting hoops. A natural crowd-pleaser whose maturity and dexterity belie his age, Taylor has garnered glowing praise from mentors and fellow jazz pianists Dave Brubeck and David Benoit (for whom he opened a concert at age 8), and from audiences from here to Hawaii. During his career he's been billed alongside Mr. Benoit, Mr. Brubeck, and vocalists Diane Shuur and Diana Krall, among others.

Extractions: photo:David Coulter Phil Markowitz, six time grant recipient, whose resume reads like a Whos Who of Jazz, is now celebrating his thirty-first year as a jazz performer and composer. Phil has received composition awards from The Howard Foundation, and Chamber Music America-Doris Duke Jazz Project to compose a new suite for orchestra, inspired by artworks of the Abstract Expressionist School entitled: Abstract Expression- Musical Portraits of American Masters. With his dynamic piano trio, which hes been leading for the past ten years, Phil exhibits an unyielding, progressive approach to his compositions, which range from hard cutting chromaticism to the most lyrical expressions of post romantic ballads. He is dedicated to realizing the full potential of improvisational music and the jazz idiom. Phils career started while at The Eastman School of Music, where he earned a Bachelor of Music degree. He formed the electric jazz trio Petrus, which, in a nationwide search, was selected by jazz impresario George Wien, as the Best New Jazz Group, resulting in a performance at the 1973 Newport Jazz Festival at Lincoln Center, in New York. Phils past associations with modern and classic masters are well documented in his recording and live credits. There was a four-year tenure with Chet Baker (1979-83), a three and one half year stint with The Mel Lewis Orchestra (1983-86), as well as performing and/or recording with groups led by Joe Chambers, Phil Woods, Miroslav Vitous and Al DiMeola , among others. His current associations with Dave Liebman and Bob Mintzer continue to this day, with more than fifteen of their recordings on which Phil has contributed as performer, composer, and/or producer.
