Guitar Concerto in NîmesDate: 03/03/2010 - 19:00 Location: France: Nîmes Work Performed: Guitar Concerto Concert : Piazzolla, Villa-Lobos, Duque Information mise en ligne le 24/02/2010 15:26 Concert : Piazzolla, Villa-Lobos, Duque Le madrilène Carlos Duque a imaginé pour l'Orchestre de Nîmes une partition à partir des Petits poèmes en prose de Charles Baudelaire. Élu « jeune compositeur de l'année » en Catalogne, il mêle avec beaucoup de finesse et d'à-propos musique orchestrale et électroacoustique, se laisse guider par les ondulations du rêve. Ses oeuvres ont été jouées au Japon, en Allemagne, en Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis. Le temps de changer de partitions et nous traversons l'océan Atlantique. L'Orchestre de Nîmes donnera aussi à entendre des pièces de l'homme qui a porté le tango à l ‘apogée de sa modernité, Astor Piazzolla. César Stroscio interprétera quelques-unes des plus célèbres oeuvres pour bandonéon et orchestre du poète de Buenos Aires. Puis le jeu délicat du guitariste Leonardo Sanchez servira le Concerto pour guitare et orchestre du maître brésilien Heitor Villa-Lobos, sublime et rarement joué. Au programme : Carlos Duque (Poèmes en prose). Création mondiale, commande de la Ville de Nîmes - Astor Piazzolla (Adios Nonino pour bandonéon et orchestre) - Heitor Villa-Lobos (Concerto pour guitare et orchestre) - Astor Piazzolla (Hommage à Liège, pour bandonéon, guitare et orchestre) Key 1
Steve Griggs' Canção Carioca: Song from RioDate: 03/03/2010 - 19:30 Location: USA: Seattle WA Work Performed: Ciclo Brasileiro Suite floral Bachianas Brasileiras #4 Brinqueda da Roda Celebrating the 113th birthday of Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, this concert is a journey through Rio de Janeiro's musical history - from Ernesto Nazareth's tangos, to concert music by Villa-Lobos, to the cool urban pop of Antonio Carlos Jobim's bossa nova. Each of these composers declared their love for Rio through not only words but melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. The concert will also include composers who, while not natives of Rio, were so moved by the city's sounds and feelings that they let Rio speak through their work. Steve Griggs has reinterpreted these works for a small chamber jazz ensemble of guitar, saxophone, French horn, cello, vibraphone, bass and percussion. Steve's previous concert of Villa-Lobos music in November 2009 sold out in advance. The Villa-Lobos Museum in Rio heard a recording of Steve's first Villa-Lobos concert and is enthusiastic about supporting his future research and projects. Read and hear more about this project at http://www.stevegriggmusic.com/cancaocarioca.htm. The concert is 7:30-10:00pm and the venue is located at 4649 Sunnyside Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98103.

Chamber Music Concert at SUNY OswegoDate: 03/03/2010 - 19:30 Location: USA: Oswego NY Work Performed: Choros #02 SUNY Oswego Faculty to Perform Chamber Works Featuring Clarinet OSWEGO - Clarinetist Trevor Jorgensen of SUNY Oswego's music department will collaborate with colleagues Robert Auler on piano and Kristen Jorgensen on flute in "Playing Favorites," a recital at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, in the auditorium of the college's Campus Center, Room 118. Their performance is the next in the SUNY Oswego music department's Faculty Artist Series. It will feature well-known works by eminent composers for clarinet and piano, including Johannes Brahms' first sonata, Robert Schumann's "fantasy pieces" and Francis Poulenc's sonata. "These standard works from the chamber music literature have endured time and grown to become known as ‘favorites' for one simple reason - they are gorgeous pieces of music," Jorgensen said. Flute and clarinet duets by American composer Robert Muczynski and Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos will round out the program. |
