Extractions: In the years since Arnaldo Cohen came to the attention of the critics and public, the Brazilian-born pianist has enjoyed an increasingly successful career taking him to the major concert halls of Europe and South America. He has performed with orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic, the Philharmonia, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, and the Santa Cecilia Orchestra of Rome. He has played under the baton of such leading conductors as Kurt Sanderling, Kurt Masur, Yehudi Menuhin, Klaus Tennstedt, and Edo de Waart. Mr. Cohen started his musical studies at the age of five, graduating from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro with an honors degree in both piano and violin, while also studying for an engineering degree. He became a professional violinist in the Rio de Janeiro Opera House Orchestra, but continued his piano studies with Jacques Klein, a disciple of William Kapell. Strongly encouraged by Klein to pursue a piano career, he continued his training in Vienna with Bruno Seidlhofer and Dieter Weber. Arnaldo Cohen was the First Prizewinner of the 1972 Busoni International Piano Competition. He made Europe his permanent home after a concert at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam - replacing Martha Argerich - which brought him to prominence in the European music world. Mr. Cohen made his New York debut during the 1996/1997 season and returned the next season to perform in recital at the Tisch Center for the Performing Arts, receiving huge critical acclaim.

Auditions 2004-2005 Guest Artist: Dickran Atamian Pianist Dickran Atamian returns by popular acclaim to the Solano Community Symphony for our Great Composers of the World concert in March 2005, performing the Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor by Brahms. Dickran Atamian has enjoyed a career that has spanned a quarter-century and covered four continents. He has established himself as a pianist of dazzling style, meaningful and exquisite musical insights, incomparable mercurial gifts, and an unmatched visceral excitement. In the year 2000, he celebrated his 25th season as First Prize winner of the 50th Anniversary Naumburg International Piano Competition held at Carnegie Hall. Additional award distinctions include First Prize in the International Recording Competition, a Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund for Music Prize and Prize-Winner in the William Kapell International Piano Competition. In addition to performing with many of the major orchestras, Atamian has collaborated with many renowned conductors. Lorin Maazel, Gerard Schwarz, Eduardo Mata, David Zinman, James DePreist, Gustav Meier, Victor Allessandro, Verner Torkanowsky, Jens Nygaard, Alan Hovanhess and scores of other conductors fill the pages of Atamian's expansive and energized career. Since his arrival on the international music scene in 1975, Atamian’s career has been one of singular achievements. In 1979, he gave the world premiere of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring for solo piano at Carnegie Hall, followed by its world television premiere on PBS (one of five recital specials voted "Best of PBS" in 1981) and its world premiere recording for RCA Red Seal (the first digital solo piano recording ever made). The PBS series was widely seen nationally and in syndication. In 1977, Atamian gave one of only two recitals performed in celebration of the Carter Inaugural Events. Finally, he created, performed in, and served as Artistic Director for several music festivals in Texas and Arizona from 1979 to 1991, including the Austin Four Seasons Music Festival and the Colly Soleri Music Center at Arcosanti.

Dominick Argento, considered to be America's pre-eminent composer of lyric opera, has written a consistently well-received body of instrumental and vocal works which are unusually accessible. Among other honours and awards, he has received the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1975 for his song cycle, From the Diary of Virginia Woolf The two works featured here, both written after Virginia Woolf , are monodramas, meaning that they are operas involving only one singer. Arguably the finest and most frequently-recorded work of this kind is Schoenberg's Erwatung , a intensely psychological masterpiece that is not just searingly dramatic but atmospherically emotional as well.

Extractions: Lang Lang (born 1982) Yes, his name sounds like it might be well suited to a Panda bear, but pianist Lang Lang is considered to be one of the greatest young musicians in the world. He's been performing in public ever since he was five years old, winning a competition playing the works of Chopin and Liszt. Lang Lang was born in Shenyang, the fifth largest city in China. At the age of 15, he moved to the United States to study at Philadelphia's Curtis School of Music. PBS's "In My Life" website asked Lang Lang who his heroes are: "Musically, it was Vladimir Horowitz, who was the greatest pianist of the last century, and also another pianist, Arthur Rubinstein. My personal role model was Michael Jordan. And then when I came to America, it was Tiger Woods, too. Both Jordan and Woods have such great discipline and they’re not only athletes, they’re artists. It’s amazing to watch them play because they’re both so natural, dedicated, and talented." How did he get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, he told PBS: "I woke up every day at 5:00 am to practice piano for an hour. Then I went to school until 3:00 pm, came home, practiced piano some more, and then did homework in the evening. I practiced piano five hours a day!"

With MTNA's long history of service to music teachers, it is particularly appropriate for the National Conference to showcase two young artists in one of its conference concerts, demonstrating what the powerful combination of talent, hard work and fine teaching can produce. Both of these gifted performers have achieved success in their pursuit of a performing career, and both possess that unique ability to communicate the emotional essence of a composition to the audience. Allow me to introduce you to one of the performers: pianist, Hsing-ay Hsu. She has graciously agreed to offer us a glimpse into her life and to provide us insight into the circumstances that have brought her to this stage of her career.

Extractions: Byoungho Han is young at heart. At 32, the pianist just made the lineup of the William Kapell International Piano Competition - a crucial career step that inches him closer to his life's dream: sitting in front of 88 keys and hundreds of fans. A doctoral student in piano performance, Byoungho was among the 41 contestants selected from 205 applicants to play in the competition's preliminary round. Although he did not advance to the semifinals, making it to the competition earned him a prestigious addition to his steadily growing resume. Held every four years since 1971, the Kapell Competition - this year held at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center for the first time - showcases some of the world's best pianists in an intense two-week competition at the university. This year's contestants for the $20,000 grand prize hail from six continents. Even falling short of the goal has its rewards - the runner up takes home $10,000, third place nets $5,000 and the nine semi-finalists collect $1,000 each. For this year's three finalists, Ning An, Ying Feng and Won Kim, the money is secondary to the prestige. Each will play with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra tomorrow in the competition's final round. However, even making it to the competition is a hurdle not easily overcome. Musicians like Byoungho have to be in the top 20th percentile of all applicants.
