Extractions: This is the seventh season of our Chamber Concert Series, presenting Israel's finest young and renowned classical artists. The aim of the series is to showcase Israel's rich and vibrant cultural heritage reflecting both its diverse immigrant and native population, as well as its unique experience as a struggling nation now on the road to peace. Israel's impressive cultural tradition, which has produced artistic giants such as Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zuckerman, Daniel Barenboim and Gil Shaham has paved the way for a new generation of Israeli talent. The young Israeli artists featured in the Chamber Concert series exemplify this new generation of world class musicians. Among our many Performers are: Maya Beiser, cello and Gila Goldstein, piano 12-7-95,96 Taiseer Elias, Oud; Uri Vardi, cello and Menachem Wiesenberg, piano 4-8-96,97 Orli Shanhan,. piano and Gil Shaham, violin Vadim Gluzman 5-19-1999 Rina Dokshinsky, piano and Tal Freiberg, bass-baritone 12-11-96,97 concert series Ori Friedman, piano 9-29-97

Extractions: CULTURAL EVENTS NEWSLETTER Fourth Edition Shalom, The Embassy of Israel is proud to join the American Architectural Foundation in presenting a unique exhibition of Israeli architecture. We are particularly happy about this event as we feel that architecture focuses on a variety of interesting and important issues in the Israeli society. Ami Ran, Exhibit Curator and Architect explains: It may be said that the uniqueness and perhaps beauty of Israeli society stems from the vast diversity of its sources. Beyond the historical human factors that brought its six million inhabitants to live together, Israel serves as a cultural melting pot; its influence is far beyond its physical size. For the three monotheistic religions, this place is central, a spiritual hub which millions aspire to reach. At the heart of all this complexity, with its spiritual aspects and physical expressions, stands architecture. Two wonderful violinists who have performed recently at the Embassy of Israel will be coming this month to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts; Gil Shaham with the National Symphony Orchestra, and Vadim Gluzman with pianist Angela Yoffe. It is interesting to note that both artists play a late 17 th century Stradivari violins.
Honolulu Star-Bulletin Features In Concert. What violinist gil shaham and the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra, conductedby Samuel Wong When 730 pm tomorrow. Where Blaisdell Concert Hall. http://starbulletin.com/97/05/12/features/story3.html
Extractions: Special to the Star-Bulletin WITHOUT live music, something in the soul dies. All the crystalline compact discs in the world cannot replace the feeling of leaning forward to hear a near-silent wisp of melody played high on the violin's E-string. Or the rumble of bass, tuba and timpani reverberating as much through your bones as in the concert hall's skeleton. Yesterday's Honolulu Symphony Orchestra season finale provided both the ethereal and the thunderous. The concert reminded us how blessed we are that symphonic music still lives in our city, despite a depressed economy and an indifferent government. Stellar soloist Gil Shaham played Johannes Brahms' "Violin Concerto in D" to a height of perfection and with a depth of feeling hard to put into mere words. Conductor Samuel Wong and the HSO musicians, inspired by Shaham's brilliance and warmth, rose to their finest work together. If you go to one concert the rest of the millennium, make it this one. Another Johannes four centuries before Brahms, the Renaissance theorist and composer Johannes Tinctoris, wrote that music's ultimate effect was to "beautify the soul." Shaham, Wong and company reaffirmed this tenet magnificently by emancipating the difficult violin concerto from earthly constraints.

Signatures asterisked (*) at the bottom arrived too late to be delivered to the board. The letter will remain an ongoing project - check back here for additional signatures March 1, 2002 To the Board of Trustees of the WNYC Foundation: We the undersigned strongly believe that classical music must remain a substantial part of the program schedule of WNYC, New York's only public radio station. For 77 years WNYC has been at the center of musical life in New York City. Throughout that time the station's music programming has provided an invaluable and irreplaceable cultural service for New Yorkers. While we understood the necessity of temporarily suspending most classical music programming after September 11, 2001, we believe that classical music should be restored to its prominent place on the schedule. We are committed to helping WNYC achieve this goal.

Extractions: Music Notes At age 27, virtuoso violinist Gil Shaham embodies the Generation X of classical performers. Educated in New York City at the Juilliard School and Columbia University, he also represents a small circle of thoughtful young artists that are bringing back hope for the future of classical music, providing fresh, exciting and accessible venues to share their art. After a highly successful concert at Shriver Hall, we sat down and spoke about some of his experiences and his take on the classical scene. Insisting I call him Gil, Shaham was incredibly personable, humorous, open to share his ideas and most of all, humble. Q. Thanks for taking the time to speak with me. Bravo on the recital. A. Thank you so much for coming. It means a great deal to me that there were so many young people in the audience last night. You guys were very inspiring. Q. Can you express in some way what music has meant to you throughout your life? Q. What do you think of the state of music in American society at present? A. Its lack of popular appeal is our fault, the performers. You know, we had a great set-up at the end of the last century. Concert halls were the largest venues to reach people. However, since then, the world has undergone a huge revolution. Now, the competition for the attention of people takes place in their living room through the television. We have been negligent to a certain extent. We havent succeeded in reaching people. See, unfortunately, people are intimidated by classical music and they really shouldnt be. It should hold the same place as looking at a painting. Music is direct communication from the heart of the composer to the heart of the listener. It requires no prerequisites.

Extractions: Sunday, March 9, 2003 A growth spurt at 60 is rare, but the Chamber Music Society of Detroit knows when it's time to celebrate. In honor of its 60th anniversary season, the society is expanding its 2003-04 series from eight to nine concerts. Also featured will be a non-subscription performance by cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. The season includes an exceptional number of high-profile recitals, including Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky. The society has sharpened its artistic profile in recent years, presenting a wider variety of artists, repertoire and special events. Subscriptions are also at an all-time high 513. Many concerts sell out the 720-seat Seligman Performing Arts Center in Beverly Hills [Chamber Music Society president Lois] Beznos said the preponderance of recitals this year was less a matter of planning than a happy coincidence. Also on the bill are return appearances by the Juilliard String Quartet, the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio with violinist Jennifer Koh, and the Shanghai Quartet with violinist Arnold Steinhardt and pianist Rieko Aizawa.

Extractions: This Michigan EMMY award-winning program profiles the remarkable young American-Israeli violinist, Gil Shaham, during the year surrounding his triumphant Carnegie Hall debut. Shaham is seen practicing in his small New York studio apartment, at one point while watching a baseball game, and playing for his legendary teacher, Dorothy DeLay. There is a particularly touching exchange between Shaham and his first teacher in Jerusalem, Samuel Bernstein, who was also the teacher of Shaham's father. Gil Shaham is seen on tour with conductor Hugh Wolff and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra performing at Symphony Hall in Boston and at the famed Aspen Music Festival performing with the legendary pianist, Brooks Smith. Scenes in Israel help give the viewer a sense of Gil's early llife. Of particular interest is film shot at a master class in Jerusalem when Shaham was ten years old. He is seen performing the Scherzo Tarantelle by Wieniawski at age 10 and then playing the same music in 1993 at age 21. His parents, both scientists, reflect on their son's early years in Jeruselem, and confess that neither particularly encouraged Gil to play violin. In fact, the future prodigy begged his parents to let him play the violin for three years before they finally agreed to lessons. Gil's sister, an accomplished pianist, is seen soothing her brother's skakey nerves before his Carnegie Hall debut. She gives him a Mickey Mouse watch as a good luck gift.
