PROGRAM NOTES

O GaratujaAlberto Nepomuceno Born on July 6, 1864 in Fortaleza, BrazilDied on October 16, 1920 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Although Brazil’s independence from Portugal dates from 1822, until 1889 the country has remained a monarchy, under the rule of kings of Portuguese descent. As the director of the most important Brazilian conservatory of that time, the National Institute of Music, in Rio de Janeiro, Alberto Nepo-muceno was one of the leading musical figures of the new Republican regime. A prominent defender of the Abolitionist cause (slavery in Brazil has lasted until 1888), Nepomuceno has stayed in Europe for seven years, from 1888 to 1895. He had studied in the Accademia di S Cecilia in Rome, the Stern

Conservatory in Berlin, and the Paris Conservatoire. He had also attended the piano class of Theodor Leschetizky, in Viena, where he met the pianist Walborg Bang, his future wife. Bang was Norvegian, and that has given Nepomuceno the chance of meeting Edvard Grieg.

Back to Brazil, Nepomuceno has written many art songs, a symphony, piano pieces, sacred music and chamber music. Perhaps it was under Grieg’s influence that he has started to employ some elements of folk and popular music in works like his Série brasileira, for orchestra, and the 1904 prelude for the unfinished opera O Garatuja. O Garatuja is a historic 1873 novel by Brazilian writer José de Alencar (1829-1877). It is settled in Rio de Janeiro, in 1659, and it tells the story of Ivo, a youngster who takes active part in the political events of his time by drawing caricatures in the walls of the city (that’s where his nickname comes from -garatuja is

Concerto n. 2para percussão e orquestraMarlos NobreBorn on February 18, 1939 inPernambuco, Brazil

One of the most important Brazilian composers of his generation, Marlos Nobre has received many international awards, ranging from the Broadcast Music Award (New York, 1961) and the UNESCO prize (Paris, 1974) to the Tomás Luis de Victoria Prize (Madrid, 2006). A fellowship from the Rock-efeller Foundation took him in the 1960s to the Instituto Torcuato di Tella in Buenos Aires, where he familiarized himself with the newest techniques and studied with Ginastera, Messiaen, Dallapiccola and Malipiero. Earlier on, in Brazil, he had studied with Camargo Guarnieri and Hans-Joachim Koellreuter, which represented the aesthetic antipodes of Nationalism (Guarnieri) and twelve-tone techniques (Koellreuter). This eclectic background helps to explain Nobre’s eclectic musical idiom, combining avant-garde procedures with national flavor. As Ge-rard Béhague has once pointed, “a national identity is evident in all his works, though as he does not rely on patterns from folk and popular idioms his music cannot be seen as nationalistic,” and “by the late 1980s he began to rely more frequently on tonal formal structures and on a combination of traditional and contemporary elements.” Since Rhythmetron (1968), Nobre has written important works for percussion, like Sonancias I, Sonancias II and his first Percussion Concerto, with was pre-miered by Thierry Miroglio and the Lazio Orchestra in 2000. This second concerto was commissioned by Osesp. As the composer himself explains, it bears a three-part structure, like all his concerti. He makes his intentions quite clear when he calls the first movement Drammatico (dramatic), the second Estatico e Lirico (static and lyric) and the third Toc-cata Allucinante (hallucinating toccata).

“The first movement is highly dramatic, thanks to the great contrasts and to the dialogues between the solo percussion, with a virtuosistic character, and the different sections of the orchestra,” he describes. “I don’t use the orchestra’s percussion, so all the percussion sounds that are heard come solely from the soloist. The big sound explosions that are somehow a characteristic of my personal style are present in great contrasts in this move-ment.”

the Portuguese word for scribble, scratch, scrawl). Nepomuceno’s lively prelude reflects the Ivo’s cheerful character.

The second movement reflects a request of the soloist Evelyn Glennie. “Evelyn herself told me she would be delighted in having the chance of playing the celesta. That has surprised me in a certain way, for it is not that usual for percussion soloists,” he tells. Having the special sound of the celesta in mind, as well as the vibraphone, glockenspiel, tam-tam, piatti and marimba, Nobre has built “a great arch in which the static sensation mixes in some moments with a lyrical tension.” The composer thinks that, in a true percussion concert, the third movement must be a sort of a catharsis, where the drama and the self-restraint must give place to a full display of virtuosity, in order to achieve the feeling of transcendental danger implied in the notion of a toccata. “Formally speaking, this Toccata is a movement in state of continuous creation, which renews itself in each episode of the continually expanding structure,” he says. “Moreover I have felt that not only this movement, but the whole concert is a musical universe constantly expanding itself in progressive dilatations and contractions, until reach-ing the near-saturation of a brutal sound orgy. From this moment on everything was possible, leading to a delirious finale.”

Bachianas Brasileiras n. 4Heitor Villa-LobosBorn March 5, 1887 inRio de Janeiro, BrazilDied November 17, 1959 inRio de Janeiro, Brazil

As Gerard Béhague has once pointed, “Villa-Lobos stands as the single most significant creative figure in 20th century Brazilian art music. This significance stems not only from his international recognition, but from his achievement in creating unique com-positional styles in which contemporary European techniques and reinterpreted elements of national music are combined. His highly successful career stood as a model for subsequent generations of Brazilian composers.”

Written in the 1930s and 1940s, the Bachianas Brasileiras are a series of nine pieces, for several combinations of instruments, which aim is to combine a homage to Bach and the spirit of Brazil. Therefore, each movement of each one of the Bachianas has two titles: a “Bachian” one and a “Brazilian” one. Bachianas Brasileiras n. 4 were originally written for solo piano, and orchestrated by the composer himself. If the “Bachian” elements prevail in the first movement (whose theme is remi-niscent of the opening of the Toccata from Bach’s

Page 15: FINE ARTS CENTER of - UMass Amherst Rakhimova Olga Vassilevich Simeon Grinberg Vladimir Klementiev ... Camargo Guarnieri and Hans-Joachim Koellreuter, which represented the aesthetic

Partita BWV 830), the “Brazilian” ones appear strongly in the remaining three. Canto do Sertão evokes the song of the araponga (neotropical bellbird), a bird of the Brazilian sertão (Portuguese word for backcountry or backlands), while the Arias quotes the folksong O mana deix’eu ir (Let me go, sister). The last movement, Miudinho, is inspired in a dance from Northeastern Brazil.

The Miraculous Mandarin Op. 19 – SuiteBéla BartókBorn on March 25, 1881 inNagyszentmiklós, Austria-Hungary (now Sânnicolau Mare, Romania)Died on September 26, 1945 inNew York, USA

In a modern big city, three scoundrels in a filthy apartment make a girl work for them; she is sup-posed to attract men to be robbed inside the flat. Things go well with the first two customers, but the third one, a mandarin, is a more complicated matter. He is suffocated and stabbed by the thugs, but refuses to die. Only when he finally embraces the girl he starts to bleed and dies. The plot of the 1918-1924 pantomime ballet by Menyhért Lengyel, which had been set to music by Béla Bartók, was shocking for the conservative audience of its world premiere, in the German city of Cologne, in 1926. In fact, it was so shocking that the work was banned by mayor Konrad Adenauer (who was to become, in 1949, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany), and its Budapest first staging would happen only after the composer’s death, in 1946. Even though Bartók has written, in 1927, that the Mandarin was “the best work” he had so far written for orchestra, he would never again attempt to write music for the theatre. Nowadays the score is more performed in the form of a concert suite, which preserves about two-thirds of the original ballet’s music.All notes by Irineu Franco Perpetuo

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Kazem Abdullah, ConductorMaestro Kazem Abdullah is quickly becoming one of the most watched young American conductors on the scene today. In the 2009-2010 season, Kazem Abdullah will conduct the internationally renowned Orquestra de São Paulo, one of Brazil’s most celebrated classical music ensembles, during its return to the United States for the orchestra’s third coast-to-coast tour. Mr. Abdullah’s other projects include Treemonisha at the Théâtre du Châtelet

de Paris, debuts with the Chicago Sinfonietta, Huntsville Symphony, Dayton Philharmonic and the Staatskapelle Weimar.

A significant highlight of Mr. Abdullah’s 2008-2009 season included a highly anticipated debut with the Metropolitan Opera where he conducted Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice, a feat that was lauded by the New York Times as “...a confident performance - impressively responsive to the singers during their long stretches of orchestra-accompanied recitative - a combination of urgency and flexibility.” Other highlights of the season included debuts with the Mexico City Philharmonic, Oregon Symphony, and the Indianapolis Symphony where he led the world premiere of Gabriela Frank’s Peregrinos. Mr. Abdul-lah was also invited by Michael Tilson-Thomas to conduct the New World Symphony in its 2009 Ives Festival.

Mr. Abdullah served as an Assistant and Cover Conductor at the Metropolitan Opera from 2006 to 2009. He assisted and worked with many conductors including Louis Langree, Kirill Petrenko, Lorin Maazel and James Levine. He prepared productions of Lulu, Ariadne auf Naxos, Der Ring des Nibelungen, Idomeneo, Die Zauberflöte, Don Giovanni, Cosi fan Tutte, Iphigénie en Tauride, and Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice.

Kazem Abdullah’s additional conducting credits include the National Arts Center Orchestra of Ot-tawa, Chautauqua Music School Festival Orchestra, Berliner Kammerphilharmonie, Finnish Radio Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic, and the Tangle-wood Music Center Orchestra where he substituted on very short notice to conduct performances of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas in collaboration with the Mark Morris Dance Group.

Mr. Abdullah began his music studies at the age of ten and later graduated from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in 2000, and subsequently studied at the University of Southern California. He originally trained as a clarinetist and has appeared as a soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony, National Symphony, and the New World Symphony. His conducting teachers and coaches included Jorma Panula, Gustav Meier, Markand Thakar, Stefan Asbury, Bernard Haitink and James Levine.

Dame Evelyn Glennie, percussionistEvelyn is the first person in musical history to successfully create and sustain a full-time career as a solo percussionist. As one of the most eclectic and innovative musicians on the scene today, she

Page 16: FINE ARTS CENTER of - UMass Amherst Rakhimova Olga Vassilevich Simeon Grinberg Vladimir Klementiev ... Camargo Guarnieri and Hans-Joachim Koellreuter, which represented the aesthetic

16

is constantly redefining the goals and expectations of percussion. By combining superb technique, a profound appreciation of the visual and her aston-ishing musicality, Evelyn creates performances of such vitality that they almost constitute a new type of performance.

Evelyn gives more than 100 performances a year worldwide, performing with the greatest conductors, orchestras, and artists. For the first ten years of her career, virtually every performance she gave was in some way a first - the first time an orchestra had performed with a percussion soloist, the first solo percussion performance at a venue or festival or the world premiere of a new piece. Her diversity of collaborations have included performances with art-ists such as Nana Vasconcelos, Kodo, Bela Fleck, Bjork, Bobby McFerrin, Emmanuel Ax, Sting, Kings Singers, Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Fred Frith.

Evelyn has commissioned one hundred and sixty new works for solo percussion from many of the world’s most eminent composers and also composes and records music for film and television. Her first high quality drama produced a score so original she was nominated for a British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards (BAFTA’s); the UK equivalent of the Oscars. Out of the 25 solo recordings made so far, Evelyn’s first CD, a recording of Bartok’s Sonata for two Pia-nos and Percussion, won her a Grammy in 1988. A further two Grammy nominations followed, one of which she won in 2002, for a collaboration with Bela Fleck. Evelyn’s twelfth solo CD, Shadow Behind the Iron Sun, was based on a radical improvisational concept and has once again questioned people’s expectations.

Outside of actual performance the Evelyn Glen-nie brand is constantly exploring other areas of creativity. From writing a best selling autobiography, Good Vibrations, to collaborating with film director Thomas Riedelsheimer on a film called Touch the Sound, to presenting two series of her own television programmes (Soundbites) for the BBC, to regularly appearing on television across the world, including The David Letterman Show (USA), Sesame Street (USA), The South Bank Show (UK), presenting and performing on Songs of Praise (UK), Commonwealth Games Festival Concert, This is Your Life (UK), 60 minutes (USA), PBS Profile (USA) and many more. Evelyn’s activities also include lobbying the Govern-ment on political issues. Her consortium with Sir James Gallway, Julian Lloyd Webber and the late

Michael Kamen successfully led to the government providing £332. million towards music education. Other aspects include Evelyn Glennie Jewellery, which is a range of Jewellery designed in conjunc-tion with Ortak and based on her influences as a solo percussionist. Evelyn is also an international motivational speaker to many diverse corporate companies and events. Evelyn also performs with Orchestras on the Great Highland Bagpipes.

After 20 years in the music business, she has be-gun teaching privately, which allows her to explore the art of teaching and to explore the world of sound therapy as a means of communication.

In 1993, Evelyn was awarded the OBE (Officer of the British Empire). This was extended in 2007 to ‘Dame Commander’ for her services to music and to date has received over 80 international awards. She is brimming with ideas to improve the experience for the audience and continues to redefine the very format of live performance itself. www.evelyn.co.uk

São Paulo State Symphony OrchestraThe São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (OSESP) gave its first concert in 1954. Since then it has had a long history of achievements, which culminated in an institution that is now recognized internationally for the excellence of its production. The Orchestra is an important part of the state’s cultural scene, as well as an agent of evolution and creation of a new model for concert music and a reference for the management of culture in our country.

During its first years, the São Paulo State Sym-phony Orchestra was directed by Maestro Souza Lima and then by the Italian conductor Bruno Roccella. Later, the Brazilian conductor Eleazar de Carvalho accepted the position of music director and stayed at the Orchestra’s helm for 24 years, giving a great many live performances each year, which included regular performances at the Cultura Artística Theatre, broadcasts on TV Cultura, tours around the country and concerts for youth. They also organized competitions for young soloists. In more recent years, under Carvalho’s leadership, the Orchestra went through a period of difficulties, but before his death the Maestro drew up a project for redesigning the Orchestra. With backing from the State Department of Culture and efforts by Governor Mario Covas, a process was conducted to choose a successor who would begin a new phase in the organization’s history.

In 1997, Maestro John Neschling was taken on as the Orchestra’s artistic director, with the conductor Roberto Minczuk as his assistant. The Orchestra was soon redefining and broadening the objectives set down by Mr. Carvalho. Auditions were held with musicians from around the world, and higher wages and better working conditions were offered. The Sala São Paulo (São Paulo Concert Hall) was opened in 1999 and in following years, a number of other projects were put into operation, including four different choirs (the Symphony, Chamber, Youth and Children’s choirs). Also, the Maestro Eleazar de Carvalho Musical Documentation Center began operating, and other related activities were set up, including a subscription service, a volunteer program, various educational programs, a music publishing division for creative Brazilian musi-cal scores (Criadores do Brasil), and the Osesp Academy for young musicians. In recent years, the concert seasons have presented a highly diversified repertoire, and the organization has entered into an ongoing partnership with the Swedish BIS, which guarantees international diffusion of Brazilian concert music.

The São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra Founda-tion was set up in 2005, representing a positive milestone in the Orchestra’s history. With former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso as President of the Board of Directors, the foundation has put new standards of management in place, which have since become references for the Brazil-ian cultural environment in general.

The Orchestra went on tour to many cities in Latin America (2000, 2005 and 2007), the USA (2002 and 2006), Europe (2003 and 2007), and throughout Brazil itself (2004 and 2008). It has also gone on tour to many different cities in the State of São Paulo, presenting concerts, workshops and music appreciation courses that have reached over 70,000 people.

On December 31, 2008, a New Year’s program was conducted by Mr. Neschling and broadcast live by the French and German Arte Television Channel, to viewers in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, Poland, Finland, Portugal, Denmark, Hungary, Sweden, Italy, The Netherlands and Brazil.

Recently indicated by the English magazine Gramo-phone as one of three up-and-coming ensembles among the world’s greatest orchestras, the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra represents a con-tinuation of its original project of constant expansion of Brazilian musical culture, and is opening its 2009

season under the new head conductor, the French Yan Pascal Tortelier.

PRE-CONCERT GUEST LECTUREREric BenjaminMount Holyoke Orchestra conductor, Eric Benjamin earned a master’s degree in orchestral conducting at New England Conservatory and lists among his conducting teachers Gunther Schuller, Kurt Sanderling, Gustav Meier and Leonard Bernstein. After graduating from New England Conservatory of Music, he joined the faculty of Newton (MA) North High School where he taught music theory and music appreciation, coached chamber music and conducted the orchestra. Formerly resident conduc-tor of the Akron Symphony and director of the Akron Youth Symphony, the Dover Schools orchestra program, and the Canton Youth Symphony, he has also achieved considerable recognition as a composer and arranger and the host and producer of the award-winning radio show “Klassical Kids,” a program for young people about classical music airing on WCLV Cleveland at 104.9 FM and was recently named Composer of the Year by the Ohio Music Teachers Association. Mr. Benjamin was named music director of the Tus-carawas Philharmonic following the 1996-97 concert season during which he served as the orchestra’s principle guest conductor. Since his appointment he has led the orchestra in subscription concerts and overseen all aspects of the organization’s per-formance. His programs have been hailed for their imaginative choice of music and personal appeal to members of the audience. He has also directed the Tuscarawas Philharmonic Chorus, preparing that group for annual performances with the orchestra in works such as Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs, the Mozart Requiem, Fauré’s Requiem, and Handel’s Messiah among others. His rehearsals with and programs featuring the Philharmonic Chil-dren’s Chorus have been celebrated as outstanding community events for young people.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Dafnis PrietoHis arrival in the U.S. has been compared by the New York Times to that of an asteroid hitting New York. Indeed, within a short period of time, Cuban-born Dafnis Prieto’s revolutionary drumming tech-niques had a powerful impact on both the Latin and jazz music scene, locally and internationally. Having studied at the School of Fine Arts in Santa Clara as a youngster and later at the National School of Music in Havana, Prieto obtained a thorough clas-sical education while broadening his knowledge of Afro-Cuban music, jazz, and world music outside of the academy.He first toured Europe with pianists Carlos Maza and Ramón Valle and the groundbreaking group “Columna B.” A resident of New York since only 1999, he has already played in bands led by Henry Threadgill, Steve Coleman, Eddie Palmieri, Chico and Arturo O’Farrill, Dave Samuels & The Carib-bean Jazz Project, Jane Bunnett, D.D. Jackson, Edward Simon, Michel Camilo, Chucho Valdéz, Claudia Acuña, Roy Hargrove, Don Byron, and Andrew Hill, among others. He has performed at many national and international music festivals as a sideman and as bandleader.As a composer, he has created music for dance, film, chamber ensembles, and most notably for his own bands, ranging from duets to his “Small Big Band” and including the distinctively different groups featured on his three acclaimed recordings as a leader, “About The Monks,” “Absolute Quintet” (both on Zoho Music), and the 2008 sextet album “Taking The Soul for a Walk,” which launched his own record label, Dafnison Music. His next album will be a live recording by his new Si o Si Quartet, to be released in the fall of 2009. Prieto also composed the title track of the 2008 Grammy awarded album “Song for Chico” by Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra.He has received new works commissions, grants, and fellowships from Chamber Music America, Jazz at Lincoln Center, East Carolina University, and Meet the Composer. Various awards include “Up & Coming Musician of the Year” by the Jazz Journalists Association in 2006, a Grammy Award Nomination for ”Absolute Quintet” as Best Latin Jazz Album, and a Latin Grammy Nomination for “Best New Artist” in 2007. Also a gifted educator, Prieto has conducted numerous master classes, clinics, and workshops. Since 2005, he has been a member of the NYU Music Faculty. “Dafnis Prieto is easily the most impressive young drummer to come on the jazz scene during the

past decade. Possessing awesome virtuosity and astonishing versatility, Prieto has made important contributions to the music of a broad range of lead-ers… His compositions are elaborate composites melding Afro-Cuban rhythms and modern jazz har-monies into music that is ecstatic and intelligent.” -All About Jazz“He is extraordinary, a rhythmic stimulus. He com-prehends the two most incredibly difficult rhythmic genres - being Cuban and being an extremely talented jazz drummer.” - Eddie Palmierit 510 848-3864 f 510 848-3972 [email protected] www.hanswendl.comPeter ApfelbaumOriginally from Berkeley, California, multi-instru-mentalist/composer Peter Apfelbaum has been an influential figure in new jazz for two decades. He is best known as the leader of the Hieroglyphics Ensemble, which received a Grammy nomination in 1991 for the album “Signs Of Life” (Antilles) and helped launch the careers of Joshua Redman, Benny Green, Craig Handy and Steven Bernstein. The current version of the ensemble, the New York Hieroglyphics, released their debut album, “It Is Written,” with Dafnis Prieto on drums, in 2005 (ACT/High Note). In addition to serving as musical direc-tor for Don Cherry’s Multikulti group, Apfelbaum has also worked with Cecil Taylor, Harry Belafonte, Phish, Muhal Richard Abrams, Charlie Hunter, and Don Buchla, to name just a few. He currently performs with Dafnis Prieto’s bands, the Millennial Territory Orchestra, Kamikaze Ground Crew, Beat The Donkey, Josh Roseman Unit, and Omar Sosa. His music has been performed by the Kronos Quartet, the National Swedish Radio Orchestra, and the Trey Anastasio Band. Apfelbaum has lived in Brooklyn, New York since 1998. Felipe LamogliaSaxophonist Felipe Lamoglia was born in Holguín, Cuba. At the age of 18 he received a scholarship from the prestigious Superior Institute of Arts (ISA), and started playing with NG La Banda, one of Cuba’s most acclaimed and longstanding Cuban orchestras. He moved to São Paulo in 1992 on a music exchange program and ended up living in Brazil for seven years, playing with great musicians including Raul de Souza, Arismar do Espírito Santo, Sizão Machado, Cuca Teixeira, Toquinho. He formed his own quartet, Tumbao, taught at the University of Free Music in São Paulo, and per-formed and recorded with the group Bocato. After moving to the United States in 1999, he started playing locally with great artists such as the late Celia Cruz, and also began performing regularly

Page 24: FINE ARTS CENTER of - UMass Amherst Rakhimova Olga Vassilevich Simeon Grinberg Vladimir Klementiev ... Camargo Guarnieri and Hans-Joachim Koellreuter, which represented the aesthetic

24

with trumpeter Arturo Sandoval. In 2004 Felipe joined the group of pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba and played on his Grammy nominated Blue Note album Paseo. He was also a member the New Cuban Quartet touring all over the world for two years. In 2006, he arranged and played on Ignacio Berroa’s new album Codes, another Gammy-nominated Blue Note release. Felipe worked as a producer, arranger, and composer on Arturo Sandoval’s latest album Rumba Palace which won a 2008 Grammy. His first solo album, Dimensions, recorded in Brazil, was released in 2007. Ralph AlessiSince 1991, trumpeter/composer/educator Ralph Alessi has been an active member of the New York jazz and improvised music scene as both sideman and leader. Called “…a highly-in-demand, adventur-ous virtuoso who can handle just about anything” (L.A. Weekly), Alessi has performed and recorded with the likes of Steve Coleman, Uri Caine, Don Byron, Ravi Coltrane, Sam Rivers, Drew Gress, Fred Hersch and many other of the great innovators in improvised music. As a leader, Alessi has four recordings to his name: “Hissy Fit,” “Vice Virtue,” “This Against That” (voted one of the top ten records of 2002 by Jazz Times) and the recently released, “Look,” featuring his band, This Against That. In the coming year he will release “Open Season” (on the RKMmusic label), featuring his band Modular Theatre. Upcoming Alessi releases also include a quartet date featuring Jason Moran as well as a new This Against That record. As an educator, Alessi has been a member of the faculties at Five Towns College and the Eastman School of Music. He is the founder and director of the School for Improvisational Music (www.schoolforimprov.org), a non-profit entity currently holding improvisational music workshops in Brooklyn. Since 2002, he has been on the jazz faculty at New York University.Osmany ParedesA native of Santa Clara, Cuba, pianist Osmany Paredes is the son of noted percussionist Guillermo Paredes who was his first teacher. He also received intensive training in classical music from a very young age and graduated from the Na-tional School of Music in Havana with honors. After productive tenures in Cuba and Mexico, Osmany recorded his first CD “Osmany Paredes Con Men-duvia” and performed with Israel “Cachao” Lopez, Jerry González, Celio González, Diego alias “El Ci-gala”, “Patato” Valdés, and Fellove Valdés, among others. He has appeared at numerous festivals in Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Austria, France, Spain and Canada. After his move to the

United States in 2003, he has performed and/or recorded with Jane Bunnett, David Murray, Richard Bona, Giovanni Hidalgo, and George Garzone, among others. Presently living in New York City, Osmany’s profile as a bandleader is increasing while leading his quartet and appearing at many major jazz clubs. Armando GolaBassist Armando Gola was born in 1978 in Havana, Cuba. He has performed with Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Arturo Sandoval, Ignacio Berroa, David Sanchez, Hector Martignon, Donny McCaslin, Horacio (El Negro) Hernandez, among many others.

A Message from the Artist

Hello Friends and Neighbors,

It’s with great pleasure and anticipation that we’ve tuned up our instruments and warmed up our voices in your city today. Thank you for coming out to join us in the festivities! Since our gathering is a musical one I have some musings on the subject…

When my daughter was born I spent quite a while trying to decide what song she would first hear when she came home from the hospital. The first song in her life! What record would I play for her? I had been playing guitar and singing since I was 8 years old and yet it never occurred to me that I could sing her that first song myself. Although we ended up listening to some great recorded music that day (The Melodi-ans, a Jamaican rocksteady vocal trio, just fantastic) lately I’ve been considering the place where the recordings end and the soulful homemade singing and playing can begin.

Yes, these days I have a vision of a new and improved America! A singing, dancing, freewheeling, shaking, inclusive America. Someone once asked me “Dan, how can we sing Cock-a-doodle-doo when there are all these crazy things happening in the world?” That’s just it! That’s why we sing! It restores our spirits and gives us hope for the future, it gives us a sense of life’s best possibilities. When we make music together we share our stories. We welcome each other into our lives. We give our chil-dren new ideas for social living and in return they show us how to dance like bears, or birds, or ice cream cones. And we have fun ... unbelievable fun.

I love being in the world of families because these are the people (from lack of sleep perhaps) who seem most likely to step into the unknown, and spontaneous casual music making is, for most people, the unknown. I can’t say that it won’t feel a little awkward the first time someone suggests to dinner guests that they all sing “Rock Island” or “El Canario” before the meal but I can guarantee that it will be memorable and probably exciting. The first time family and friends sing together in any capacity new traditions are made, bonds are created, spirits are lifted, and the world suddenly becomes a more musical and peaceful place.

Thank you for joining us today. It may look at first like a show or a performance with a band and an audience but in truth we’re all in it together. Think of it as a house party or family reunion, or neighborhood block party. Some of us have instruments but everyone has a voice or dancing feet or clapping hands. This is our day together and when the house lights go up and we all head on down the road, let’s be sure to make it a musical one! Love, Dan

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Dan Zanes is the twenty-first century ver-sion of the guy who in the old days used to conduct the town band from the gazebo, though in lieu of a gazebo he and his scruffy band are playing places like Carn-egie Hall and The Melbourne International Arts Festival. He is a ringmaster, introduc-ing new songs and reconnecting people to songs that have always been there. Dan

spent most of last year having a rocking time with new musical friends from the Latino world in and around New York City. The result: Dan Zanes and Friends’ ¡Nue-va York! a collection of songs from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and other parts of the Spanish-speaking Americas, released in June 2008. The album has been met with criti-cal acclaim- Entertainment Weekly called it a “joyous Spanish-language celebration”

Page 29: FINE ARTS CENTER of - UMass Amherst Rakhimova Olga Vassilevich Simeon Grinberg Vladimir Klementiev ... Camargo Guarnieri and Hans-Joachim Koellreuter, which represented the aesthetic

and gave it an ‘A.’ His latest release, The Welcome Table: Songs of Inspiration, Mystery and Good Times, is a collection of old and (mostly) new DZAF recordings of tunes drawn primarily from North American gospel traditions which was put together to raise funds and to help create awareness for The New Sanctuary Movement—a coalition of interfaith religious leaders and participating congregations called by their faith to respond actively and publicly to the suffering of our immigrant brothers and sisters living in the United States.

Dan Zanes’ first family-oriented CD was Rocket Ship Beach (2000), an immediate hit with families around America. This was followed by several more home-recorded family discs, including Family Dance (2001), Night Time! (2002), the Grammy-nominated House Party (2003), and the Grammy Award winning Catch That Train (2006), which was co-released by Star-bucks. His Festival Five Folk CDs include Sea Music, a collection of maritime songs that was featured in Rolling Stone’s 2003 Hot issue, and Parades and Panoramas: 25 Songs Collected by Carl Sandburg for The American Songbag, a collection of songs gathered by the poet in 1927 and dragged kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century by Zanes. Keeping things all in the family, Dan also spent some time in 2007 with band-mate Father Goose (aka Wayne Rhoden) and longtime recording ally Rob Friedman co-producing It’s a Bam Bam Diddly!—a musical memoir of sorts, sounding very much like the most incredible block party stretching from Jamaica to Brooklyn and spilling out into neighborhoods around the globe. Dan has recorded in his basement and living room studios with a long list of people, including Lila Downs, Aimee Mann, Dahphne Rubin-Vega, Lou Reed, Dar Williams, Deborah Harry, Angelique Kidjo, Bob Weir, Philip Glass, the Kronos Quartet, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Zanes is the author of two books with artist Donald Saaf, Jump Up! and Hello Hello (Little, Brown and Company), and he can be seen in the Dan Zanes and Friends concert video and DVD entitled All Around the Kitchen!.

Colin Brooks (drums) started out playing piano at the age of 5. By age 7 he was jamming with his father, a self-taught electric guitar player, on the drums. By the age of 14, he was drumming in a punk rock band with some friends in Little Rock, Arkansas called the NUMBSKULZ. After playing around the United States with the NUMBSKULZ and several other Little Rock based bands (SUBSTANCE, 2 MINUTES HATE, ho-hum, and THE BIG CATS), he headed for New York City to join SKELETON KEY. After that band toured Europe with PRIMUS, Colin was offered the drum seat with New Zealand singer Bic Runga, who he toured Austrailia and New Zealand with. Upon returning to New York he began playing with local sing-ers Serena Jost and Dana Fuchs, while drumming on jingles, and playing in the off-Broadway musical BETTY RULES. He also joined a Brooklyn-based band called SEA RAY. SEA RAY toured the U.S. and Canada extensively and played many New York area shows. The group disbanded in January of 2005. Colin next went to Montreal to record with THE STILLS. His drumming can currently be heard on their latest album “Without Feathers.” He has most recently finished an album with his long-time band in Little Rock THE BIG CATS.

Sonia de los Santos (Dan Zanes and Friends, vocals, guitar & mandolin) was born in Monterrey, Mexico. She has received lyrics and interpretation awards for her compositions on DOS NIÑAS MAS at the National Festival de la Canción of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey. As an actress, Sonia has toured nationally in Mexico with Jesus Christ Superstar. Ms. De los Santos has played “Hodl” in Fiddler On The Roof, “Lucy Harris” in Jekyll & Hyde and “Con-nie” in A Chorus Line. She was the lead singer in Revolution at the Joyce Theater (NYC) in 2007. During her time as lead singer of the rock band ESPHERA, Sonia took on the role of composer for their debut album Reflection (2001). In 2002, Sonia joined Shot, a pop group out of her

hometown. Sonia is an alumna of Circle in the Square Theater School (NYC) and holds a BA in Communications and Mass Media from the Instituto Tecnológico Y De Estudios Superiores De Monterrey.

John Foti (accordion) Born in West Caldwell, NJ, John Foti’s first musical experience was figuring out the Sesame Street theme song at a young age. Inspired by his father and older sister, he went on to take piano lessons through col-lege – even when some kids said it “wasn’t cool” to play piano. John thought it was cool and kept playing. Speaking of cool, John is thrilled to be a part of Dan Zanes and Friends - playing perhaps the coolest instrument this side of the Mississippi – the accordion! Hobbies include think-ing, writing music and poetry, sleeping, worrying about what the Yankees score is, running, and watching Jim Henson’s Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas. You can say hello to John at www.myspace.com/johnfoti

Saskia Sunshine Lane (bass) Born and raised in San Francisco, Saskia picked up her first stringed instrument at the age of four: the violin. Quickly realizing that the fiddle was far too small for such a big personality, Miss Lane switched to the stand-up bass the day she turned eleven. Though she could not yet lift it without help, she embarked on intensive course of study and has been at it ever since. In 1997, she jumped a train to New York City where she earned her Masters Degree in Double Bass Performance from The Juil-liard School. The Manhattan-based musi-cian performs throughout the tri-state area with a variety jazz, pop, and classical art-ists. Saskia has also been active in educa-tion and outreach, working as a teaching artist for the 92nd Street Y, and perform-ing in the Carnegie Hall Neighborhood Concert Series. Saskia’s television credits include a national commercial for Chili’s Restaurants and appearances on The Dis-covery Channel, The Food Network, Fuse TV, and CBS Evening News, and can be seen in the movie Mona Lisa Smiles, featuring Julia Roberts. Her discography includes recordings with Nicole Paiement,

featuring the work of Lou Harrison (New Albion Records), The Gothem Ensemble (Albany Records), along with three albums and a concert DVD (Eastway Records) with her critically-acclaimed cocktail pop quartet The Lascivious Biddies.

Elena Moon Park (violin) Hailing from Oak Ridge, TN, Elena began playing the violin and dancing at a young age. She played classical music for many years, until college drew her attention to travel-ing to far off places, going on long hiking trips, learning music and dance from other countries, and studying American history. After her adventures, she was anxious to play the violin again and make fun, spontaneous music with many differ-ent musicians. Elena lived in the hills of Tennessee and the flatlands of Chicago before proudly calling Brooklyn, NY her home. Her interests include dancing, sing-ing, playing the ukulele, helping to achieve equitable development in urban America, supporting the arts, and Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come.” She is very excited to be playing with Dan Zanes and Friends.
