Extractions: Ottawa, 17 June 1998 - The Canada Council for the Arts is pleased to announce that James Ehnes from Brandon, Manitoba, is the recipient of the 1997 Virginia Parker Prize. The prize, worth $25,000, will be presented to him in the fall. Originally known as the Virginia P. Moore Prize, the Virginia Parker Prize was established in 1982 by the late Colonel T.A.G. Moore and his wife, Virginia P. Moore. Moved by her profound love of music and the recognition that talented young musicians need an award to help them take a leap forward in their careers, the late Mrs. Moore established the prize for young performers of classical music who demonstrate outstanding talent and musicianship. In recent months, James Ehnes gave his second Paris recital and made his second appearance with the Hong Kong Philharmonic. About his debut with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Olavi Kauko of the Helsingin Sanomat commented that Ehnes had "conquered the audience and the orchestra by his amazing virtuosity." Among upcoming engagements are his debut with the Boston Symphony under Seiji Ozawa, his second appearance with the Pittsburgh Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, as well as his debut with the Czech Philharmonic. His recording of the 24 Paganini Caprices on the Telarc label received worldwide critical acclaim. The disk was nominated for a Juno award, making Ehnes the youngest classical performer ever to be nominated for this prestigious award.

Extractions: Entertainment Editor Music is an artistic expression of emotion through melody, harmony and rhythm. Math is a science dealing with the relationship between quantities, numbers and symbols. For Corey Cerovsek, the two seemingly opposite fields are almost one and the same. Cerovsek should know. By the age of 16, he had earned master's degrees in both fields. The violin virtuoso who performed a recital in Loeb Playhouse Sunday said that he sees intrinsic connections between the two fields. "On the philosophical level, I'm convinced that music and math are connected. I was good at both of them, and it makes sense that the same abilities in my head would make me good at both of them," said Cerovsek, now 27. While he said he feels certain that this connection exists, he is unsure of what it really is.

Extractions: Bow hairs find strings, fingers find their first note, and we all look to Pearl, our first violinist and my 9-year-old daughter. She gathers up our eyes, checks that we're all ready, inhales slightly, raises and then dips her scroll to signal our start. We begin our song. Family harmony is at the core of homeschooling and it's one of the first things I talk about with new homeschoolers. It takes a high degree of peace and compatibility to spend so much time together and to live and learn in such close proximity. I tell new homeschoolers that they should be best friends with your kids, because they're going to see a lot of each other. Our family has found our sense of harmony by playing together as a string quartet. It all began when our daughter, Pearl, (mom and daughter are both named Pearl) started violin lessons when she was 5. We bought her a 1/4-size violin, and found a Suzuki teacher. I had an old full size violin, passed down from an uncle, though I'd never learned to play. Suzuki method requires the parent to learn along with the child, so I started fiddling around. I'd never had music lessons, but I attended all of Pearl's and practiced along with her. In the beginning I managed to stay ahead of her. That's long since changed. A few months later our music school invited the family to a demo of instruments taught at the school. The Suzuki Cello teacher had a tiny cello, 1/8th size, and Alyssa decided it was for her. She had attended many of her big sister's lessons, and wanted to participate. She was not quite 4 years old at the time.
