Extractions: Pianist LEON BATES welcomes the millennium with plans that include recordings, performing new works and continued joy in performing for audiences the world over. Since winning the Philadelphia Orchestra Senior Auditions as a student over 20 years ago, Leon Bates has emerged as one of America's leading pianists. He is invited to the most prestigious concert halls and his performances have warranted critical and audience accolades in Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Kennedy Center, Philadelphia's Academy of Music, the Hollywood Bowl and the Masonic Hall in San Francisco, presented by the Four Seasons Concert Association. He appeared in Naples, Italy in two recitals and took part in the filming of "Music in the 20th Century" telecast on PBS. He also hosted a radio series funded by the Pew Foundation, "Notes from Philadelphia." Leon Bates' work with young people is extraordinary. In one season alone he often performs over fifty residency programs in conjunction with orchestra engagements and recitals to inspire, motivate and delight America's youth as he opens their minds and hearts to the love of music.
Leon Bates For the Network gala, pianist leon bates, who was a star pupil of one of Walker sgreat champions, the late Natalie Hinderas, will perform the Sonata No. http://citypaper.net/articles/091296/article005.shtml
Extractions: Every year, the Network for New Music hosts a fund-raising gala featuring an eminent composer discussing their works, followed by a short recital. Whether by chance or by design, many of these composers have had a prominent Philadelphia connection. Milton Babbitt was an undergrad at Penn, and Jacob Druckman grew up here. George Rochberg taught at Penn for many years. Bernard Rands was the Philadelphia Orchestra composer in residence. This year, the honored guest will be Pulitzer Prize winner George Walker, whose local claim to fame is having been the first black graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, in 1945. He continued his doctorate work at the Eastman School. As befits the product of these two vaunted, but conservative institutions, Walker is a composer in the grand manner. His beautifully crafted, deeply lyrical music can easily be considered in the company of Barber, Hanson and Copland; it is distinctively stamped as American music For the Network gala, pianist Leon Bates, who was a star pupil of one of Walker's great champions, the late Natalie Hinderas, will perform the Sonata No. 2 for Piano. He will also accompany soprano Martha Elliott in a performance of the Emily Dickenson Songs. Guests can chat with the composer and musicians at the cocktail reception that will conclude the evening
Jazz One of the highlights finds master pianist leon bates in concert comparingclassical Western music with traditional jazz styles. bates is a Philadelphia http://citypaper.net/articles/011697/article010.shtml
Extractions: Jan. 19: Edgar Bateman/Fred Adams. 2 p.m. workshop, 3 p.m. performance, Community Education Center, 3500 Lancaster Ave., 387-1911. Fred Adams is a playful open-minded brass man who gigged for 12 years with spaceman Sun Ra and his Arkestra and is the brass instructor/coach for the Clef Club's Youth Jazz Ensemble. Drummer Edgar Bateman is an innovative polyrhythmic monster; a cross between William Hooker, Bill Bruford and Max Roach. Bateman's credits include gigging with local legend Jamaaladeen Tacuma plus touring and recording with lesser lights like John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Eric Dolphy and Lee Morgan. With on-the-spot interpretation from actress Matt Rochester (from Freedom Theatre) and backing from saxophonist Terry Lawson, bassist Mikal Saunders, percussionist Frank Williams and guitarist Calvin Nathaniel, the afternoon promises to be a learning free-for-all. Jan. 19: Celebration with Terence Blanchard. As a studious griot of sorts, composer/trumpeter Terence Blanchard has taken traditional jazz ideals and made them blue and intelligently sensual, added twists from another world and stretched them to symphonic proportions with a series of soundtracks and suites surrounding the films of Spike Lee. This opportunity to see the magical Blanchard in such intimate surroundings should not be missed.

Extractions: aco homepage concert schedule January 10, 1999 Alan Feinberg has achieved a remarkable reputation as a vanguard pianist and musician who has charted his own unique path in music. His intelligence, integrity and affinity for an unusually wide range of repertoire place him among those few artists who are able to build a bridge between music of the past and present. With repertoire that ranges from Bach to Babbitt, Clementi to Cage, and Chopin to Carter, Mr. Feinberg's creative approach to programming places contemporary music within a broad framework as part of an ongoing, living tradition. On October 1, 1998, Mr. Feinberg performs the world premiere of the recently-discovered "Emerson" Piano Concerto by Charles Ives, with Christoph von Dohnanyi and the Cleveland Orchestra. Later on In the season, he performs it again with them on tour in Paris. Upcoming concerts also Include the Amy beach Concerto at the Chautauqua Festival, the Gershwin Second Rhapsody with the American Symphony In Avery Fisher Hall in New York, the Oscar Levant Concerto with the American Composers Orchestra in Carnegie Hall, Messiaen's "Oiseaux exotiques" with the New World Symphony and the Ravel G Major Concerto with the Syracuse Symphony.

Extractions: Lyn Bronson Three African-American pianists have made an impact on the classical music scene during the past four decades: Andre Watts, Leon Bates and Awadagin Pratt. Awadagin Pratt is the youngest and certainly the most colorful of the three with his Afro dreadlocks, bright concert wardrobe, and his custom of sitting low at the piano using a specially designed concert stool that seats him barely 12 inches off the floor and which he carries with him everywhere on tour. In his characteristically soft-spoken manner, he addressed the audience to say that on September 11th he had been airborne and had his flight diverted and grounded in Omaha, Nebraska. As he sat in the terminal watching TV news, he kept noticing updates flashing along the bottom of the screen. Over and over again he kept seeing the initial caps WTC which, of course, to any pianist has always stood for the Well-Tempered Clavier. To him and the rest of the world, these initial caps suddenly acquired a new significance, and he said that for this reason he wanted to open the concert with an unscheduled piece, the first Prelude from Book I of the WTC, in memory of the tragic events of September 11th.
