  • Mildred Elley Named as Inaugural Corporate Sponsor for New Caroga Arts Music Education Program

    The Caroga Arts String Project & Arts Collaborative Education (SPACE) program has announced Mildred Elley College as its first corporate sponsor. The Faith Ann Takes Family Foundation has already donated $25,000. This will help the program continue its mission of giving students in grades 6 through 12 at Wheelerville and Johnstown Schools instruments, string instruction, and vital mentoring. The String Project & Arts Collaborative Education new program aims to create affordable arts education opportunities for students across Fulton, Montgomery, and Schoharie counties.

    Faith Takes serves as Chairwoman of the Board of Empire Education Corporation, the corporate parent of Mildred Elley Colleges.

    “We are incredibly grateful for the support of Faith Takes, who share Caroga Arts’ dedication to opening new avenues of opportunity for students in our region,” said Stephanie Price-Wong, Caroga Arts’ Director of Education and Community Engagement. “Their support will amplify the SPACE program as we work to foster local students’ long-lasting appreciation and engagement with the arts.”

    All kids participating in the SPACE program in the spring and fall of 2024 will see a significant decrease in tuition and musical instrument costs thanks to the sponsorship, which will open up arts education to families that may not have been able to afford lessons in the past. The Spring 2024 program has already started and is still accepting applications from students in both districts for its first semester. It also plans to schedule performances around the counties of Fulton, Montgomery, and Schoharie.

    “It is an honor to be the first corporate sponsor of the SPACE program, helping Caroga Arts enrich the educational experience for students in our area,” said Faith Takes. “Music was a lifesaver for me as a student. I learned the importance of collaborating with others, the discipline of practicing, and learning to express myself through music. We look forward to watching the program’s growth throughout 2024 and beyond.”

    Caroga Arts intends to use the SPACE program to offer mentorship workshops and outreach performances that are more easily accessible to all children in Fulton, Montgomery, and Schoharie counties, in addition to weekly in-school classes.

  • Albany Symphony to Present Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” this March in Troy

    This March, two-time GRAMMY Award-winning Albany Symphony present the most celebrated instrumental work of the Baroque era, Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. In addition to this classic violin concerto, The History of Red, a new vocal work by Reena Esmail will feature Soprano Molly Netter, and the nature-inspired work Murmurations, by Derek Bermel.

    The pair of concerts will take place on Saturday, March 16 at 7:30pm and Sunday, March 17 at 3:00 at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall.  

    Albany Symphony Music Director David Alan Miller conducting
    David Alan Miller, Music Director of Albany Symphony and Grammy-winning conductor.

    The Four Seasons was composed in the early 1700’s and is the best known of Vivaldi’s works – a revolutionary work of musical tone-painting, based very literally on sonnets Vivaldi wrote to depict the seasons. Vivaldi’s imagery throughout the work includes flowing creeks, singing birds, a shepherd and his barking dog, buzzing flies, storms, drunken dancers and warm winter fires. 

    Albany Symphony Music Director, David Alan Miller, has invited four remarkable young violinists, specialists in authentic Baroque-style performance who recently graduated from the Juilliard School’s acclaimed Historical Performance program, to perform the four concertos that make up the “Four Seasons.” They include Ravenna Lipchik, Edson Scheid, Amelia Sie and Shelby Yamin, who will all be performing on authentic Baroque instruments. 

    We are so excited to present Vivaldi’s masterpiece as he himself may have heard it. Our four soloists are all brilliant interpreters of Baroque style, and we are very excited to welcome them.  We’re also thrilled to present brilliant new works by two longtime friends of the Symphony, Reena Esmail and Derek Bermel.  Reena’s work features Molly Netter, a remarkable vocal artist we’ve been eager to present.  I promise this will be an absolutely delicious way to spend a cold winter’s evening or afternoon at the legendary Troy Savings Bank Music Hall.

    David Alan Miller, Music Director of Albany Symphony.

    The Symphony will perform Reena Email’s The History of Red, inspired by the first time the composer heard Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 at the Ford Theater in Los Angeles with her parents. Hearing this piece at age 14 was a pivotal moment in her decision to become a composer. The History of Red is a work for soprano and orchestra in which the singer grapples with the world around her. Chickasaw poet and writer Linda Hogan’s beautiful text is clearly the voice of an adult woman, aware not only of her current world, but of the entire, complex history of her ancestors.  She is an Indian-America composer whose work bridges the worlds of Indian and Western Classical music and holds degrees from The Julliard School and the Yale School of Music. 

    I wrote this piece as the pandemic was raging around the world, as the effects of decades of racism hit a new fever pitch in the US, and as we headed into the 2020 presidential election with so much trepidation. My own complicated history, and the history of this time, is also embedded in every note of this piece.

    Composer Reena Email

    Featured vocalist Canadian-American Soprano Molly Netter is highly sought after as a soloist, with engagements including her debut with the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Julia Wolfe’s Steel Hammer at Carnegie Hall, the premiere of Katherine Balch’s Illuminate with the California Symphony, as well as solo appearances with both the Fort Worth and Johnstown Symphonies for Handel’s Messiah.

    The program also features Derek Bermel’s Murmurations, composed in 2015, which depicts vivid imagery through music. When Bermel listens to and watches a string orchestra perform, he is reminded of a flock of birds. They glide and dive in formation, soaring together or splitting into layers of counterpoint before regrouping into a single unit. According to Bermel, during a year living in Rome, he was often treated to the graceful spectacle of a starling murmuration. Their stunning, geometrical displays of aviation prior to settling down for the night are a humbling sight. In Murmurations, he attempted to map onto a musical structure some of the behavior he observed in the starlings’ flight.

    The Southern Tier Singers’ Collective (STSC) will presents “Arches In Sound” at St. Patrick’s Church in Binghamton on Saturday, February 24 at 7:30 PM,

    The Southern Tier Singers' Collective presents: Arches In Sound

    The Southern Tier Singers’ Collective is an organization of highly skilled singers presenting artistically polished performances of distinctive choral repertoire. Founded in the fall of 2018 by William Culverhouse, STSC is based in Binghamton and draws singers from as far as Ithaca, Oneonta, Elmira, and northeast Pennsylvania.

    STSC was formed in order to offer a wide variety of vocal ensemble music in multiple configurations, ranging from an intimate one-singer-per-part madrigal ensemble, to a chamber choir of 32 accomplished singers. The groupings employ a variety of rehearsal models, but aim to accommodate the busy lives of the region’s most highly skilled singers by avoiding recurring weekly rehearsal commitments, opting instead for a project-based cluster-rehearsal approach.

    The performance on Saturday, February 24 will be Ralph Vaughan Williams’s soaring Mass in G Minor for double choir, which will form the centerpiece of the concert, which also features the late Romantic English choral works of CV Stanford and Renaissance polyphony of Raphaella Aleotti in the marvelous acoustics of Saint Patrick’s Church.

    St. Patrick’s Church is located at 9 Leroy Street, Binghamton. The concert is free but donations are accepted. More info can be found here.

We also showcase the winner of our own Hertzog Concerto & Aria Competition, Riley Hubisz, who is a gifted flute student in 11 th grade at Ithaca High School. It is a pleasure to work with Professor Mary Guzzy from Corning Community College and give the theater students the rare opportunity to perform on stage with a professional orchestra.” He added.

  • American Classical Orchestra Performs Bach’s B Minor Mass This Spring 

    The American Classical Orchestra will perform Bach’s infamous B Minor Mass at the Alice Tully Hall with the Aco Chorus on March 7.

    The American Classical Orchestra will perform the infamous Bach’s B Minor Mass at the Alice Tully Hall with the Aco Chorus on March 7.

    Mass in B Minor, BWV 232 by Johann Sebastian Bach is a musical setting of the complete Latin Mass, the 1749 work includes nine arias and duets, 14 ensemble sections for vocal groups of various sizes, and a range of instrumental solos in numerous styles. The piece is one of Bach’s best-loved vocal works, the B Minor Mass is widely considered to be the crowning achievement of the Baroque era, since he completed it a year before his death in 1750. 

    The composition as it is known today did not originate as a titled whole in any of Bach’s surviving documents. It was uncovered by his son C.P. E. Bach as a collection of his father’s hand-written scores grouped together inside four folders. The manuscripts were organized in four parts: The Kyrie and Gloria, followed by the Credo, the Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. Once published, the four parts became known as the B Minor Mass. Of note, Bach managed to complete the Mass while nearly blinded by cataracts. He subsequently underwent two unsuccessful eye surgeries using questionable methods, which worsened his condition. 

    The performance will be directed by the founder and Artistic Director Thomas Crawford who founded two other Connecticut orchestras: the Fairfield Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Old Fairfield Academy, the period instrument offshoot of the Fairfield Orchestra, was later renamed the American Classical Orchestra in 1999. With the Fairfield Orchestra, Crawford conducted the world premiere of Keith Jarrett’s Bridge of Light at Alice Tully Hall, subsequently recorded on the ECM label.

    Featured soloists are soprano and crossover artist Kristen Hahn, who recently appeared at the Kennedy Center in Hello Dolly, soprano Nola Richardson, hailed by The NY Times for her “beautiful tone;” countertenor Reginald Mobley, who has forged a stellar career across Baroque and Classical repertoire; noted Bach interpreter tenor Steven Soph, who was praised for his “impressive clarity and color” by the NY Times and Baroque music specialist bass Steven Eddy, a 1st Prize winner of the 2019 Oratorio Society of New York Competition. 

    Thomas Crawford will lead  the American Classical Orchestra (ACO) in a performance of Bach’s monumental B Minor Mass with the acclaimed ACO Chorus at Alice Tully Hall on March 7 and the fans can find tickets at www.aconyc.org, or by calling ACO at (212) 362-2727, ext.4, or by visiting lincolncenter.org or calling CenterCharge at 212.721.6500. 

  • Hearing Aide: A Legendary Composer Looks at his Greatest Work in “Philip Glass Solo”

    A most-esteemed American composer, Philip Glass has released a new album, Philip Glass Solo, on January 26. The collection features his most enduring and beloved piano works, painting an intimate portrait of the renowned pianist.

    Philip Glass Solo

    Philip Glass Solo was recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when the world was undergoing a major shift and Glass was shifting from a busy tour and premiere schedule to spending time at home. Glass dedicated this time to revisiting some of his most critically acclaimed piano music, taking to them with a fresh view from his home studio in New York.

    Glass’ most personal record to date, Philip Glass Solo offers a snapshot of his life, and a portrait of daily practice over eight decades through several cherished works.

    Now 86, Glass reflects on his career and the new release:

    “This record revisits my works for piano. From 2020-2021, I had time at home to practice the works I have played for many years. This record is both a time capsule of 2021, and a reflection on decades of composition and practice. In other words, a document on my current thinking about the music. There is also the question of place. This is my piano, the instrument on which most of the music was written.

    It’s also the same room where I have worked for decades in the middle of the energy which New York City itself has brought to me. The listener may hear the quiet hum of New York in the background or feel the influence of time and memory that this space affords. To the degree possible, I made this record to invite the listener in.”

    Philip Glass

    Philip Glass Solo features “Opening,” originally written for the 1982 album Glassworks, which remains one of Glass’ most transfixing pieces and established a sound that quickly became a calling card, the masterpiece of “Metamorphosis” I, II, III, and V, the series of music Glass arranged for his first solo piano concerts in the 1980s; one of his most beloved pieces and longest performances on record (at 16:35), “Mad Rush,” which he composed as an organ piece in 1978 when the Dalai Lama made his first public address in New York; and a reworked version of “Truman Sleeps” from the soundtrack of the beloved 90s film The Truman Show, where Glass appeared on screen performing the piano in one of the pivotal scenes of the film. His changes speak to the heart of all artists’ evolution of both themselves, and their music, over time.

    Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Philip Glass graduated from the University of Chicago and the Juilliard School. In the early 1960s, Glass spent two years of intensive study in Paris with Nadia Boulanger and while there earned money transcribing Ravi Shankar’s Indian music into Western notation.

    By 1974, Glass had a number of innovative projects creating a large collection of new music for The Philip Glass Ensemble and for the Mabou Mines Theater Company. This period culminated in Music in Twelve Parts and the landmark opera Einstein on the Beach, for which he collaborated with Robert Wilson.

    Philip Glass Solo

    Since Einstein, Glass has expanded his repertoire to include music for opera, dance, theater, chamber ensemble, orchestra and film. His scores have received Academy Award nominations (Kundun, The Hours, Notes on a Scandal) and a Golden Globe (The Truman Show). Glass’s memoir Words Without Music was published by Liveright Books in 2015. Glass received the Praemium Imperiale in 2012, the U.S. National Medal of the Arts from President Barack Obama in 2016, and 41st Kennedy Center Honors in 2018.

    Glass’s recent works include a circus opera Circus Days and Nights, Symphony No. 13, Symphony No 14, and Triumph of the Octagon, commissioned and premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Glass is currently writing his 15th symphony commissioned by the National Symphony Orchestra.

    Philip Glass Solo is available in both digital and limited-edition condensed vinyl format. Listen and order here.
