SUMMARY:Alessandro Mazzamuto in Recital
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, November 4 at 3:00 pm\nGreat Hall\nFree parking and admission \nReception with the artist follows immediately \nProgram:\nFranz Schubert: Sonata in B-flat\, D.960\nFranz Liszt: Sonata in B minor  \nAbout the Artist:\nPianist Alessandro Mazzamuto is “one of the most inspiring\, extraordinary pianists that I have had the joy to hear” – writes Martha Argerich – and when she was recently asked by the French newspaper L’Expresso to name her ten favorite young pianists\, she included Alessandro in the company of artists such as Danil Trifonov\, Beatrice Rana\, Yuja Wang\, Sergio Tiempo\, Katia Buniatishvili.

SUMMARY:Lucy and Friends in Concert: An Evening of Love and Laughter
DESCRIPTION:LIEBESLIEDER WALTZES\, OP. 52 (JOHANNES BRAHMS)\nLIEBESLIEDER POLKAS (P.D.Q. BACH)\nFRIDAY\, SEPTEMBER 28\n7:30 PM\nGREAT HALL \nFREE ADMISSION\nPOST-CONCERT RECEPTION \nLUCY CREECH\, SOPRANO\nNATALIE ARDUINO\, ALTO\nROBERT WILSON\, TENOR\nDAVID GROGAN\, BASS \nH. MICHIE AKIN & BRIAN BENTLEY\, PIANO FOUR HANDS \nAbout the music (adapted from Wikipedia articles): \nJohannes Brahms’ Liebeslieder Waltzes\, Op. 52 is a collection of love songs in Ländler style for voices and piano four hands. The lyrics for the Liebeslieder come from Georg Friedrich Daumer’s Polydora\, a collection of folk songs and love poems. While there is no record indicating the inspiration for the Waltzes\, there is speculation that Brahms’ motivation for the songs was his frustrated love for pianist Clara Schumann\, composer Robert Schumann’s wife. \nThe Liebeslieder Waltzes were completed in 1869 and were first performed January 5\, 1870. One aspect of the Liebeslieder Waltzes that possibly contributed to the work’s positive reception was that Brahms composed them with reference to Johann Strauss\, who was considered the “Waltz King.” With such another well-known composer attached to the work\, the audience would have enjoyed the tribute. To some\, Brahms revived chamber music. \nThe Liebeslieder Waltzes are written in a popular style\, but do not lose Brahms’ signature compositional complexity. Scored for piano four hands and voices ad libitum\, the piece can easily accommodate many different-sized ensembles. Although today they are part of the standard choral repertoire\, Brahms more likely intended them to be played in parlors or informal home gatherings rather than in concert halls. Immediately successful\, these waltzes were responsible for much of his personal wealth\, and solidified his reputation with the general music-buying public in Vienna and Europe. \n \nLiebeslieder Polkas for Mixed Chorus and Piano Five Hands\, S. 2/4\, is actually the music of American composer Peter Schickele (b. 1935)\, written under the comic pseudonym of P. D. Q. Bach. He describes this work as “the first opus of P.D.Q. Bach to be discovered in which he inflicted his music on the work of well-known poets\, or even known poets\, for that matter.” \nSchickele gives a humorous fictional biography of the composer\, according to which P. D. Q. Bach was born in Leipzig on April 1\, 1742\, the son of Johann Sebastian Bach and Anna Magdalena Bach; the twenty-first of Johann’s twenty children. He is also referred to as “the youngest and oddest of Johann Sebastian’s 20-odd children.” According to Schickele\, P. D. Q. “possessed the originality of Johann Christian\, the arrogance of Carl Philipp Emanuel\, and the obscurity of Johann Christoph Friedrich . . . His musical life has been divided into three creative periods: the Initial Plunge\, the Soused Period\, and Contrition. The middle period was by far the longest of the three\, and was characterized by a multiplicity of contrapuntal lines and a greater richness of harmony due to almost constant double vision. It was during this period that he emulated (i.e.\, stole from) the music of Haydn and Mozart\, but his pathetic attempts to be au courant were no more successful than his pathetic attempts to be passé had been during the Initial Plunge; having to cope with the problems that accompany immense popularity was something P.D.Q. Bach managed to avoid. It has been said that the only original places in his music are those places where he forgot what he was stealing.” \nSchickele’s works attributed to P. D. Q. Bach often incorporate comical rearrangements of well-known works of other composers. There is often a startling juxtaposition of styles within a single P. D. Q. Bach piece. The humor in P. D. Q. Bach music often derives from a violation of audience expectations\, such as repeating a tune more than the usual number of times\, resolving a musical chord later than usual (or not at all)\, unusual key changes\, excessive dissonance\, or sudden switches from high art to low art. \nThe titles in this collection also reveal Schickele’s wicked sense of literary humor: \nTo His Coy Mistress (Andrew Marvell)\nTo the Virgins\, to Make Much of Time (Robert Herrick)\nThe Passionate Shepherd to His Love (Christopher Marlowe)\nWhy So Pale and Wan\, Fond Lover? (Sir John Suckling)\nIt Was a Lover and His Lass (William Shakespeare)\nThe Constant Lover (Sir John Suckling)\nSong to Celia (Ben Johnson\, adapted by P.D.Q. Bach)\nFarewell\, Ungrateful Traitor (John Dryden)\nWho is Sylvia? (William Shakespeare) \nA recording of the work was released on Vanguard Records in 1980\, with a cover image of Schickele mimicking the famous image of Johannes Brahms at the piano. \n

SUMMARY:Pianist Eldred Marshall in Recital
DESCRIPTION:Presenting Eldred Marshall\, Piano\nSunday\, March 4 at 3:00 pm\nGreat Hall\nFree parking and admission\n\nAbout the Artist:\nThe Press-Enterprise (Riverside\, CA) hailed his “dazzling technique” and his “clean\, tidy approach.” Music critic Laurence Vittes described him as an “illumination in music\,” and said of his all-Beethoven recital: “Marshall presented a recital so full of musical thrills and beauties\, and so in identification with the composer’s own persona\, that\, for a few hours\, it was as if he were communing across the centuries to conjure up a rare and magical musical spectrum.” The Telegraf Online Constanta (Romania) reported that Marshall “captivated the audience” in Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 20\, which he conducted from the piano. \nEldred Marshall began studying the piano at age six and played in public at age seven. His prodigious and inquisitive mind allowed him to master large swaths of the piano repertoire quickly as well as consistently win top prizes at the competitions he entered as a child. By 16\, he debuted with orchestra\, playing Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto with the Victor Valley Symphony Orchestra. Before entering Yale University\, where he graduated with honors with a B.A. in Political Science\, he had already performed all over the United States. \nThe critically-acclaimed pianist has performed internationally: Spain\, Italy\, the Republic of San Marino\, Belgium\, Germany Romania\, Bulgaria\, and Ukraine. He has twice performed the entire 32 Piano Sonatas of Beethoven in public\, from memory\, as a concentrated series: once in Portland in 2007 and again in San Francisco in 2008. He followed that project with a full West Coast tour of Bach’s Goldberg Variations in 2008 and 2009. In the 2015-2016 Season\, he toured extensively through Texas with two all-Bach piano recital programs\, one of which included the Goldberg Variations. In 2016\, he was named a semi-finalist in the Ninth J. S. Bach International Piano Competition in Würzburg\, Germany. He has appeared in piano festivals in Italy as well as the United States and has collaborated orchestrally with conductors K. C. Manji\, Carlo Ponti\, Beau Benson\, Greg Grabowski\, Michelle Merrill\, Jonathan Moore and Jessica Morel. \nAs an orchestral conductor\, Marshall has led several international ensembles: the Ukrainian State Academic Orchestra (Kiev\, Ukraine)\, the Kharkov Youth Symphony (Kharkov\, Ukraine)\, the Pleven Philharmonic Orchestra (Pleven\, Bulgaria)\, the Vidin Philharmonic Orchestra (Vidin\, Bulgaria)\, the Filharmonica Oltenia di Craiova (Craiova\, Romania)\, and the Constanta “Black Sea” Philharmonic Orchestra (Constanta\, Romania). In the United States\, he has worked as conductor for the Riverside (CA) Opera Institute’s Children’s Opera Division\, as assistant conductor of the Meadows Symphony Orchestra at Southern Methodist University\, and has collaborated with the University of North Texas Symphony Orchestra. \nMr. Marshall has earned three M.M. degrees from SMU: piano (2011)\, organ (2012) and orchestral conducting (2013). Currently\, he is finishing his D.M.A. in Piano Performance at UNT\, where he studies with Pamela Mia Paul. Additionally\, he was awarded a Teaching Fellowship at UNT and is an adjunct lecturer at SMU. His doctoral dissertation topic is on the art of conducting piano concerti from the piano – performance practice\, discipline and whether or not it is “real conducting.”
