• Damien Sneed's We Shall Overcome: A Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

  <p>Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., We Shall Overcome showcases repertoire from the African American music traditions that electrified generations of civil rights activists with interwoven spoken word from Dr. King’s recorded speeches. Musical Director Damien Sneed has conducted and collaborated major original works for Wynton Marsalis, regularly accompanies Jessye Norman, and has toured extensively with Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin. This production featuring a full ensemble of vocals and instrumentals ties together music and culture that includes traditional gospel, modern gospel, classical, jazz, Broadway, and spirituals. Sneed’s unique understanding of each genre allows him to cover so much musical ground in a single performance.</p>

• Cornell College Music Monday: Amara Piano Quartet

  <p dir="ltr">The<a href="https://rilearts.com/ensembles/amara-piano-quartet/">&nbsp;Amara Piano Quartet</a> is the successor to the Ames Piano Quartet, whose distinguished performing history spanned the last thirty-six years. Upon the retirement of two of its original members in 2012, the Quartet was renamed “Amara,” a name connoting mythic paradise in Abyssinian.</p><p dir="ltr">The Amara Quartet performs the masterpieces from the standard repertoire as well as new music (the group’s new recording of the two Faure Piano Quartets is scheduled for release in August 2018.) It also continues to research unjustly neglected piano quartets from the past. Like its predecessor the Ames Piano Quartet, the Amara performs little-known gems such as the Suk Piano Quartet, the Frank Bridge Phantasy, the Herbert Howells Piano Quartet, and similar. The Amara Piano Quartet is managed by Joanne Rile Artists Management, of Philadelphia.</p>

• Thursday Forum - Film Music, Concert Music, and the Hollywood Connection

  <p>Over the course of this four-week forum, Instructor and Teaching Artist in Music Alan Lawrence will explore significant milestones in the film music of the past century. &nbsp;Through film clips and music recordings, audience members will learn about important film composers and the connections between film music and concert music. &nbsp;The first week’s session will move from the silent film era through the blockbusters of the 1930s and ‘40s, highlighting the work of expatriate composers like Max Steiner (who scored King Kong, Gone with the Wind, and Casablanca) and Erich Wolfgang Korngold (The Adventures of Robin Hood). &nbsp;In week two, we will take up the work of more expat European composers, including Franz Waxman (Sunset Boulevard and Rear Window) and Miklos Rozsa (Spellbound and Ben Hur), as well as American-born composers like Alfred Newman (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), David Raksin (Laura), and Hugo Friedhofer (The Best Years of Our Lives). &nbsp;The third session will highlight the volatile talent of composer Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, Vertigo, North by Northwest, and Psycho), as well as other mid-century composers like Jerome Moross (The Big Country) and Elmer Bernstein (To Kill a Mockingbird). &nbsp;The final session will underscore the influence of concert composers like Richard Wagner, Igor Stravinsky, and Aaron Copland on film composers, including the work of the versatile John Williams (Jaws, Star Wars, E.T., and more).</p> 2019-10-01 11:30:00 -0500
