TIX: Suggested donation: $5
Phone: 305-613-2325
Ballet Flamenco La Rosa Artistic Director Ilisa Rosal, and company singer/guitarist Paco Fonta, will present a lecture/demonstration on the Jewish Roots of Flamenco, as one of many offerings of the Guava Rugelach Festival at Temple Israel of Greater Miami.

A brief history of the development of the art of Flamenco and the influences that Jewish music and the Jewish experience in Spain had on the art form will be discussed, with examples of the music and vocals to illustrate.

PACO FONTA * SINGER AND GUITARIST
Paco Fonta met Ballet Flamenco Director Ilisa Rosal in Madrid in the early 1980’s when they worked together at tablaos and festivals for several years.

When Ms. Rosal founded Ballet Flamenco La Rosa in 1985, Paco Fonta was under contract to a local flamenco club, and he joined the company. They have worked together ever since on the many interesting projects the company has produced and created a great following for the high quality and pure excitement and beauty of their work.

Mr. Fonta is a rare talent in that he has mastery of both the guitar and singing, and his performances give the public a unique and valuable insight into this style of music. Mr. Fonta is in demand as a singer and guitarist for Flamenco companies throughout the U.S., and has started his own group Siempre Flamenco.

Passion Pit with Tokyo Police Club

We’ve been away from home long enough– and to celebrate our return to the United States, we’re going to try and see as much of it as we can, as quickly as we can!
We’ll be touring the U.S. for the entire month of June, from New York to California and (almost) everywhere in between. And even better, our pals in Tokyo Police Club will be on board for most dates.

Redemption. Paranoia. Guilt. And brief glimpses of a better tomorrow, all cloaked in pop hooks that truly help the medicine go down.

What is this? Another lost LP from Brian Wilson’s sandbox phase? If only things were that simple. What we’re really alluding to here is Passion Pit’s first proper full-length, Manners, a bird-flipping break from the blogosphere by a 21 year old with much more on his manic mind than girls, girls, girls. You know, important matters, like the end of the world and learning to love someone other than the man in the mirror.

That’s the thing people missed about Passion Pit’s debut EP, Chunk of Change. While it was originally meant as a Valentine’s Day gift for a girlfriend who “put up with” frontman Michael Angelakos, that detail’s only half of a story that isn’t so cuddly when you consider the circumstances.

The 8th Heineken TransAtlantic Festival Brings Modern World Music to Miami Beach with the Colombian Group Bomba Esteréo and Vieux Farka Touré from Mali

Fri. April 9: Colombian Group Bomba Esteréo
Sat. April 24: Vieux Farka Touré From Mali
Tickets $20 advance through TransAtlanticFestival.com or 305-672-5202, Children under 12 – Free

The Rhythm Foundation kicks off its 8th annual Heineken TransAtlantic Festival this April with a two part series headlined by Colombia’s psychedelic cumbia band Bomba Estéreo and Mali’s world music sensation Vieux Farka Touré. In addition, Grammy-nominated Orquestra Contemporanea de Olinda of Brazil and Miami’s own two-time Grammy-nominated Locos Por Juana will join the festivities which have garnered much local and international attention for their eclectic music pairings.

The 8th annual Heineken TransAtlantic Festival is the sound of the world “right now” – the series of concerts and parties featuring modern world music proudly features innovative artists working in the beautiful collision between traditional rhythms and electronica/DJ culture. The series pays tribute to Miami as a true modern “TransAtlantic” capital, a crossroads of the Americas and Europe. It’s the hotbed of a young, club-crazy art scene, playground of the East, perched provocatively on the Atlantic Rim, where centuries of commerce and migration have formed a crossroads that unites Africa, Western Europe, the Caribbean, and the Americas.

The Rhythm Foundation, leading presenter of world music in South Florida, created the series in 2003 knowing that in Miami, there is a large audience of internationally-minded people who want to hear what is happening right now in our world. With this festival, The Rhythm Foundation showcases the city’s position as the hip center of a whole new generation of global music.

Friday, April 9th – 7PM
Bomba Estéreo
Orquestra Contemporânea de Olinda

Saturday, April 24th – 7PM
Vieux Farka Touré
Locos Por Juana

North Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
Tickets are $20 in advance, through TransAtlanticFestival.com or (305) 672-5202. Children under 12 admitted free.

About Bomba Estéreo
Bomba Estéreo formed in the rich underground electronic scene of Bogota, Colombia in 2005. Guitarist Simon Mejia recruited fierce singer Liliana Saumet to join the group, and Bomba Estéreo expanded its “psychedelic cumbia” sound and captivating live show. The group plays an explosive dance-fusion of electronic dub and hip-hop, in a similar vein as M.I.A. and Santigold, mixed with classic Colombian rhythms like cumbia and champeta. The group made their US debut at SXSW in 2009 and garnered huge attention at LAMC in New York last summer. Myspace.com/BombaEstereo

About Vieux Farka Touré
The son of the revered Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré, Vieux has stepped out from his late father’s massive shadow. Ali Farka Touré proved, in case anyone ever doubted it, that the soul of the blues could be found in West Africa. Vieux is turning heads with a more radical idea: that those western Saharan roots can be heard in everything from the jam band scene to Jamaican dub. The young Six Degrees Record artist and his band have caused a sensation at music festivals across the globe in recent years. He makes his Florida debut with this concert. VieuxFarkaToure.com

About Orquestra Contemporânea de Olinda
OCO brings together some of the best young musicians of Pernambuco, birthplace of classic Northeast Brazilian rhythms forro and frevo. The late legendary musical genius Chico Science left behind a supercharged music scene that fuses the rhythms of Pernambuco with drum & bass, rock and world grooves. In this music-crazed city filled with amazing horn players and percussionists comes Orquestra Contemporanea de Olinda, who has built a concise identity and huge following since their 2008 debut. Distributred by Som Livre, Brazil’s largest label, their CD was nominated for a 2009 Latin Grammy and was hailed by the New York Times. Now they embark on their US debut tour, including New York City’s Lincoln Center and Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Myspace.com/OrquestraContemporaneaDeOlinda

About Locos Por Juana
The two-time Grammy-nominated Miami-based band received this write up in the LA Times: “Blending relaxed reggae grooves with biting social commentary, hip-hop raps with brassy solos, Locos Por Juana pulls listeners into a reverse Gulf Stream churning through the Straits of Florida south to Jamaica, Venezuela and Colombia, and over to Puerto Rico, Locos Por Juana shows with every song that it has thoroughly assimilated its multiple musical fathers, with a Caribbean lilt and a rock-steady beat.”

New “Miami On Stage” Series Continues With Tiempo Libre Performing “Bach in Havana” on Saturday April 3rd at the Byron Carlyle Theater

The new Miami On Stage project, which features local performing artists on a regular basis in Miami Beach’s North Beach neighborhood, continues on Saturday, April 3 with the great timba band Tiempo Libre at the Byron Carlyle Theater. The evening features the Miami theatrical premiere performance of their Bach in Havana, a salsa meets Classical music mash-up based on the Grammy-nominated CD of the same name. The Miami On Stage series is produced by FUNDarte, one of South Florida’s most adventurous and successful presenters of alternative culture, especially with a Latin flavor.

The Cuban-born, Miami-based musicians of Tiempo Libre have catapulted onto the national stage with their clever, beautiful and danceable sound. With Bach in Havana, they took their love of the contrapointal Baroque music of J.S. Bach (having all been classically trained) and found a way to meld with the tropical, Afro-Cuban rhythms and instrumentation they usually perform. The resulting work – tuneful, playful and musically adventurous – has garnered praise and awards after being released by Sony Music. Ever Chavez, Executive Director of FUNDarte, says that, “Tiempo Libre is a Miami treasure who, with their genre-bending Bach in Havana, has received global acclaim. The nurturing of local artists who can then tour their work throughout the world is one of our goals with the Miami On Stage project.”

The Tiempo Libre concert begins at 8:00 pm at the Byron Carlyle Theater, located at 500 71st Street, on Miami Beach. Tickets for Tiempo Libre are $20 general admission, $15 students (under 25) & seniors (over 65) with I.D. Tickets may be purchased in advance through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com and by phone (800) 745-3000 (service charges apply). They are also available in-person at the Byron Carlyle the day of show and in advance at the Colony Theatre box office (1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach), Tuesday through Saturday, Noon to 5:00 pm (no service charges). A limited number of $15 discounted general admission tickets are also available for 33141 zip code buyers with I.D. in-person at both theater box offices only. More information about the Miami On Stage series and the upcoming Tiempo Libre concert can be found online at www.fundarte.us or by contacting FUNDarte at info@fundarte.us or (305) 316-6165.

Miami On Stage will continue on the first Saturday of each month, through June of this year. On May 1, again at the Byron Carlyle, there will be an evening with three solo Hip Hop theater artists, Rudi Goblen, Summer Hill Seven and Meshaun Lebrone Arnold. This program is co-presented with Miami Light Project. On June 5th there will be two performances Hilo,(Thread), by Jose Dominguez, directed by Lucia Aratanha, and Sipping Fury from a Teacup, created by Elizabeth Doud & Jennylin Duany and performed by Elizabeth Doud and Carlos Caballero. In addition to each Saturday’s featured performance, there will be free tie-in events throughout the week in the North Beach neighborhood, including panel discussions with the artists, special programs for youth and outdoor activities. These will include free yoga classes on the beach Mondays and Fridays at 7:00 am at Ocean Terrace and 73 Street, as well as a Farmer’s market in Normandy Isle Circle Saturdays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.

ABOUT THE GUEST PERFORMERS AND COMPOSER
Widely known as a composer and orchestra conductor, the Venezuelan Maestro Alfredo Rugeles was born in Washington D.C while his parents were working in the diplomatic service. He carried out his musical studies at Escuela “Juan Manuel Olivares” (“Juan Manuel Olivares” School), Caracas. In 1976 he obtained Diplomas in Singing and Choral Conduction from his teachers Fedora Alemán and Alberto Grau, respectively. He studied Composition with Yannis Ioannidis until 1976, year in which he travels to Germany with a scholarship, for continuing his studies in the Robert Schumann Institute of Düsseldorf, where he obtained Diplomas in Composition and Orchestral Conducting in 1979 and 1981 as a student of Gunther Becker and Wolfgang Trommer, respectively.

He attended the Cursos Latinoamericanos de Música Contemporánea (Latin-American Contemporary Music Courses) as a student and lecturer. He got a scholarship from the Composition Workshop during the New Music Courses in Darmstadt. He takes part in International Orchestral Conducting Courses taught by Sergiu Celibidache, Michel Tabachnik and Franco Ferrara. He has been invited to important international events as composer and orchestra conductor. In 1979 he obtained the Premio Nacional de Composición (National Composition Award) for his work “Somosnueve” (“We-are-nine”) and in 1985 the Premio Municipal de Música (Municipal Music Award) for its work “Tanguitis”. Currently he is in charge of a tutorial class in Contemporary Composition and of a chair in Techniques of Orchestral Conducting at Instituto Universitario de Estudios Musicales (Universitary Institute of Musical Studies (IUDEM).

As a Conductor, Alfredo Rugeles has performed leading the Robert Schumann Institute Orchestra of Düsseldorf; the Siegerland Orchestra of Hilchenbach; the Dutch Chamber Orchestra; Chamber Groups of Contemporary Music in Düsseldorf, Köln and Darmstadt; the Sinfónica Nacional de México (National Symphonic of Mexico); Orquesta Filarmónica de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Philharmonic Orchestra of the National Autonomous University of Mexico); Orquesta de Cámara Mayo de Argentina (Mayo Chamber Orchestra of Argentina) and Orquesta Sinfónica de El Salvador (Symphonic Orchestra of El Salvador). Furthermore, he is a permanent guest Conductor of the most prestigious orchestras of the country and has had the privilege of accompanying important soloists such as Judith Jaimes, Maurice Hasson, Harriet Serr, Margot Parés-Reyna, Eva María Zuk, Julius Berger, Ruggiero Ricci, Montserrat Caballé, Alirio Díaz, Elizabeth Glass, Karoly Mocsari, Shlomo Mintz, Arnaldo Pizzolante, Vladimir Spivakov, Carlos Duarte, Mstislav Rostropovitch, Renata Scotto, Frans Helmerson, Karin Lechner, Sergio Tiempo, Anssi Karttunen, Jorge Luis Prats, and Jane Eaglen, among others. His repertoire embraces the universal symphonic music as well as the opera, having conducted numerous opening nights of works by Venezuelan composers and first auditions of the international contemporary repertoire.

The Amernet String Quartet, Ensemble-in-Residence at Florida International University, has garnered worldwide praise and recognition as one of today’s exceptional string quartets.The ensemble rose to international attention after only one year of existence, after winning the Gold Medal at the 7th Tokyo International Music Competition in 1992. Three years later the group was the First Prize winner of the prestigious 5th Banff International String Quartet Competition. The Amernet String Quartet has been described by The New York Times as “an accomplished and intelligent ensemble”, and by the Nürnberger Nachrichten (Germany) as “fascinating with flawless intonation, extraordinary beauty of sound, virtuosic brilliance and homogeneity of ensemble”.

The Amernet String Quartet was formed in 1991, while two of its members were students at The Juilliard School. Founding members Marcia Littley and Javier Arias have been joined by fellow Juilliard graduates, violinist Misha Vitenson and violist Michael Klotz. Their busy performance schedule has taken the group to major musical centers and smaller cities across the United States. They also have performed concerts in Japan, Canada, Germany, France, Switzerland, Korea, Mexico, and Romania. The Amernet’s New York debut was at Merkin Hall in 1994, with a return engagement in 1995. Subsequent New York appearances include Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall in 1996 and 1998, the Americas Society in 1998, and Alice Tully Hall in 1997 and 1998, which The New York Times described as “immensely satisfying… most notable for the quality of unjaded discovery that came through so vividly.”

From September of 2000 until May 2004 the Amernet String Quartet was Corbett String Quartet in Residence at Northern Kentucky University, where they headed the Patricia A. Corbett String Program. Previous to that, the group held a residency at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music where they taught chamber music for four years. The Amernet String Quartet has received grants from the Corbett Foundation, the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, the LaSalle Foundation, the Fine Arts Fund, the Cincinnati Chamber Music Society and the Amernet Society for school outreach projects, commissions of new chamber music works and for their unique concert and conversation series. The group was the recipient of a Chamber Music Rural Residency Award in 1995. During that year they divided their time among the communities of Johnstown, Somerset and Indiana, Pennsylvania.
The Amernet Quartet has conducted workshops and master classes in Buffalo NY, Memphis TN, Erie PA, Los Angeles CA, Logan UT and other cities. They were founders of The Norse Festival, a summer chamber music workshop at Northern Kentucky University providing an opportunity for young musicians from the region to work intensively in chamber groups, under their guidance. Currently they host an annual summer Chamber Music Camp in Miami called Animato. The group has recorded the Concerto for Clarinet, Oboe, String Quartet and Bass by John Harbison with Sara Lambert Bloom and Charles Neidich as soloists, “The Butterflies began to Sing” a work for String Quartet, Bass, MIDI keyboard and computer, by Morton Subotnick, a complete CD of quartets by American composer Stephen Dankner, as well as a recording of the Debussy String Quartet and the Chausson Concerto for Piano, Violin and String Quartet. The Amernet Quartet maintains a connection with today’s composers, and has worked closely with such composers as Anthony Brandt, John Corigliano, Stephen Dankner, David Epstein, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Gerhard Samuel, and Morton Subotnick. The Amernet String Quartet performs contemporary repertoire and commissions works form today’s leading composers from all over the world. The Amernet Quartet has collaborated in concert with numerous artists and ensembles, such as the Tokyo, the St. Lawrence, and the Ying Quartets, Steve Ansell, Yehonatan Berick, Andres Diaz, Roberto Diaz, Miriam Fried, Yehuda Hanani, Toby Hoffman, Ida Kavafian, Paul Katz, Anton Kuerti, Ruth Laredo, Anthony McGill, Rainer Moog, Eugene Pridonoff, Sandra Rivers, Shauna Rolston, Nathaniel Rosen, Eric Shumsky, James Tocco, Dame Gillian Weir and Kyung Wha-Chung, Zvi Zeitlin, and many others.

A PIANO RECITAL SHOWCASE
featuring original compositions and classical favorites by pianist/composer
Rachel Currea
grand winner of our
2009 *Talent Quest Miami competition
Advance Tickets available here.
Advance tickets online $15. At the door: $20.
ABOUT RACHEL
Rachel Currea began composing consistently when she was 19 years old as a way to relax from the rigors of classical music training and the demands of college and work. Shortly after she composed her first few pieces, she suffered a serious auto accident with head trauma. For the next ten years Rachel found it nearly impossible to compose, but continued to perform and teach piano. Her breakthrough in composing again came with learning the art of meditation. Her CD of piano solos, “Inner Sound” is a tribute to this creative and personal breakthrough.

Rachel waited until the last minute to enter the 2009 Talent Quest Miami competition and, as writer Lynette Zilio commented in the Miami Herald, “Last was certainly not least at 2009 Talent Quest Miami* finale. Pianist and composer Rachel Currea, the last of 12 performers, took home $500 and the opportunity to showcase her work after blowing the judges away with her original piece, ‘Hear Me Now’.” ~Lynette Zilio – The Miami Herald (Jul 28, 2009)

New “Miami On Stage” Series
Presenting South Florida Performing Artists
Begins Saturday March 6 With A Free Concert By Anabel & Ke o Ke

A community’s culture is created by those who live and work there. Miami already has a homegrown, exciting contemporary performing arts scene, but it can only continue to grow if area artists have high-quality, public showcases that expose their talent to South Florida audiences. The new Miami On Stage project will do just that by presenting locally produced work on a regular basis. It will feature some of the best of Miami’s performing artists in a series that takes place in Miami Beach’s North Beach neighborhood, beginning March 6 with a free “tropical fusion” concert by Anabel & Ke o Ke at the North Beach Open Space Park. Miami On Stage is produced by FUNDarte, one of the South Florida’s most adventurous and successful presenters of alternative culture, particularly with a Latin flavor.

Singer Anabel is based in South Florida but was born in Cuba to a musical family. She has been a member of such groups as Salsabrava and Retrozon, as well as pursuing her solo career as an interpreter of diverse musical styles, including salsa, bolero and son. Since 2005 Anabel has been based in South Florida and led her own group, Ke o Ke, showcasing her unique fusion style. She has shared the stage with musicians such as Willy Chirino. Albita Rodriguez and Cachao. This first Miami On Stage concert, just steps away from the ocean in a beautiful outdoor setting, begins at 4:00 pm as the sun begins to go down, and promises to be a hip-shaking musical journey through contemporary Latin musical genres. It is co-presented with the City of Miami Beach as part of its Arts in the Parks program.

“We are so pleased to be able to launch our new, annual Miami On Stage series this year, and provide a professional venue for contemporary, regional performing artists who the general public here is often not exposed to, “ says Ever Chavez, Executive Director of FUNDarte. More information about the upcoming Anabel concert, which is free and does not require a ticket, and the entire series, can be found online at www.fundarte.us or by contacting FUNDarte at info@fundarte.us or (305) 316-6165. North Beach Open Space Park’s entrance is at 81 Street and Collins Avenue.

Miami On Stage will continue on the first Saturday of each month, through June of this year. April 3rd will feature the great timba band Tiempo Libre at North Beach’s Byron Carlyle Theater with the Miami premiere performance of their Bach in Havana, a salsa meets Classical music mash-up based on the CD of the same name, which this year was nominated for a Grammy Award. Tickets on Sale Now!

In addition to each Saturday’s featured performance, there will be free tie-in events throughout the week in the North Beach neighborhood, including panel discussions with the artists, special programs for youth and outdoor activities. These will include free yoga classes on the beach Mondays and Fridays at 7:00 am at Ocean Terrace and 73 Street, as well as a Farmer’s market in Normandy Isle Circle Saturdays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Excerpt from Examiner article by George Leposky 2009:
“The audience at Rachel Thomas Currea’s recent piano concert heard a truly remarkable program, comprising her own compositions interspersed with classics spanning the centuries from Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) through Frederik Chopin (1810-1849) to George Gershwin (1898-1937).

Although Currea describes herself as a New Age pianist and composer, her own music springs from classical roots and draws upon her formal education, which includes bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from the University of Miami. Yet, there’s nothing formalistic about her music.

In remarks at the beginning of the concert, Currea explained that she composes music to describe her feelings andexperiences,justassomepeoplewritediariesinwords.” (read full article here)

At 7:30pm on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 violinist Gil Morgenstern’s Reflections Series will continue with a second concert at the Bass Museum of Art. The performance, entitled The Stuff Dreams Are Made On is inspired by Carl Jung’s famous “Red Book” in which he details his theory of the collective unconscious and will explore the integral role dreams play in culture.

As Artistic Director of the Reflections Series, Gil Morgenstern utilizes innovative programming to contextualize historical styles and arts movements for a 21st century audience. The performances merge artistic mediums, encouraging audiences to engage numerous senses and reflect anew on universal themes. The Reflections Series mixes solo and chamber music with visual art, poetry, and prose from around the world.

The final concert on May 6 is called A Pilgrim’s Progress and will include music of Francis Poulenc and Bruce Saylor, and text from Dante’s “Inferno.”

More about Gil Morgenstern: Acclaimed for his artistry and technical brilliance, violinist Gil Morgenstern has performed in many of the world’s great concert halls. The New York Times has hailed his playing as “a perfect demonstration of supreme ability;” “a rare poet of the violin” reported The South China Morning Post; “Morgenstern played a program that tested every part of a violinist’s equipment and he did it all beautifully” wrote The Washington Post.

Mr. Morgenstern’s career has taken him to international venues including Wigmore Hall, London; Cultural Center Concert Hall, Hong Kong; the American Academy, Rome; Salone dei Cinquecento, Florence; El Teatro Sucre, Ouito; Arts Centre and State Theatre, Melbourne, Australia. He has also toured the U.S. extensively, performing in FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jessica Kiger, 646.536.7864, Jessica@christinajensenpr.com Photo by Chris Lee. Available in high resolution at www.christinajensenpr.com recital and as guest soloist with many leading orchestras. Of his interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major the Santa Barbara News Press raved, “Violinist Morgenstern – that’s the name to remember. While he dazzled everyone with his dexterity, he realized all the artistic nuances. His bowing was magnificent; his tone just plain gorgeous.”

Mr. Morgenstern has also shared the stage with such eminent musicians as Philippe Entremont, Lynn Harrell, André-Michel Schub, Jeffrey Kahane, Sharon Isbin, and Heinz Holliger, and has collaborated with United States Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa and performance artist Laurie Anderson.

Mr. Morgenstern’s discography includes works by Beethoven, Fauré, Copland, Ravel, Kodaly, Sessions and the award-winning American composer George Tsontakis. His latest recording, 20th Century Duos for Violin and Cello, was the No. 1 classical CD for over a month on eMusic, the largest online store for independent music in the world, and was one of the top ten best selling classical music albums on Amazon.com. Of the CD The New York Times raved, “the music is terrific and the performances compelling on this surprisingly exciting and excellently engineered recording.” Mr. Morgenstern records for the MMC, Engine Company and Koch International Classics labels, and can regularly be heard on National Public Radio and classical music radio stations across the country.

In addition to performing, Mr. Morgenstern is the artistic director of the Reflections Series, which presents performances in New York, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florence and Capri, Italy. The 2009-2010 season is inspired by art exhibits at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York and features solo and chamber music, with visual art, poetry, and prose from around the world, in combinations that invite the audience to reflect anew on universal themes. Mr. Morgenstern is also the co-founder and co-artistic director of Nine Circles Chamber Theatre, a creative organization dedicated to exploring the collaborative nature of inter-disciplinary performance, and of the Broyhill Chamber Ensemble, a diverse chamber group specializing in Classical, Romantic and contemporary works of mixed instrumentation.

Mr. Morgenstern’s many prizes and honors include a command performance for President Ford at the White House, Gold Medals in The Washington International and National Society of Arts and Letters Competitions, and the Jaycees of America’s “Outstanding Young American” award.

In 1998, Mr. Morgenstern appeared as violin soloist in U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky’s translation of Dante’s Inferno which toured the country and was broadcast on PBS and NPR, for which it received a Peabody nomination. The violin plays a central and unique role in this production and is an integral part of the dramatic action.

Highlights of Mr. Morgenstern’s recent seasons include performances with the Julliard Dance Company at Lincoln Center, NCNY Dance Company at An Appalachian Summer Festival and with the Brooklyn Ballet; the premieres of staged versions of The Epic of Gilgamesh, Venus and Adonis with Claire Bloom and John Neville, and Samuel Beckett at 100 at New York City’s 92nd Street Y and at Harvard University. Morgenstern’s performance in the Nine Circles Chamber Theatre production of When Samson Met Delilah toured Holland to rave reviews and his recent appearance in Toronto was broadcast throughout Canada on CBC. In addition, his “Falling Bodies,” an original Nine Circles Chamber Theatre work of music and words based on the lives of the scientist-poet Galileo Galilei and poet-scientist Primo Levi, sold-out performances in New York and is now touring internationally.

Selections from Gaspar Sanz, Nino Ricardo, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Francisco Tarrega, Esteban de Sanlucar, and Isaac Albeniz, plus traditional Flamenco pieces arranged by
Dennis Koster and Carlos Montoya.
FLAMENCO (from guitarist.com) is a particular kind of music/dance (and some would say lifestyle) native to, but no longer restricted to, a small region of Andalucia in Southern Spain. Like American “blues” it probably has ancient antecedents, but as a distinct genre is only a couple centuries old. Not all Andalucian folk music is flamenco. Not all flamenco artists have been Andalucians (e.g., Sabicas), or even Spanish (e.g., Greco). Info continues here.

Concert – Two Love Stories of Frederic Chopin
Damira Feldman, piano
Phyllis F. Resnick, narration
Back again by public demand, Damira Feldman presents piano works in honor of the year-long bicentennial celebration of the master’s birthday. The program is designed to draw a portrait of Polish- French composer Frederic Chopin, the passionate and poetic musician of the Romantic period, who was commonly described as the “poet of the piano.” The performance will focus on Chopin’s relationships with two central players in his love drama, most notably Maria Wodzinska & George Sand.
A finalist in the 2009 Concours International des Grands Amateurs de Piano, Paris, Damira Feldman once again brings her passionate interpretations and technical virtuosity to the Bass Museum’s Steinway grand.
Free with museum admission. Seating limited to first 75 guests.

Common will be performing live in The Florida Room, which only holds 200 people. It’s going to be like having this Grammy Award-winning artist play with his killer live band in your living room, with all your friends in it. Open bar from 10 PM – 1 AM. Get your tickets early as this will sell out. Tickets start at $275.00.

Outside by the pool, we will have Rye Rye ringing in the next decade. The Baltimore native and protégé of M.I.A. is one of the artists we’re tipping for success next year. FREE but you must RSVP for Rye Rye.
