German Pianist Aims For Next Rung On Ladder Of Success relies on recommendations of established pianists such as russell sherman, On sherman s recommendation, Piano and Friends engaged Tian Ying, http://arizonachambermusic.org/Pawlik.htm
Extractions: The Arizona Daily Star You've probably never heard of Markus Pawlik. But he's doing his best to change that - and against unbelievable odds. The German pianist, who tomorrow performs at the Leo Rich Theatre, belongs to an ever-increasing pool of talented recitalists for whom just surviving in music is an accomplishment. At 31, Pawlik faces an all-too-typical challenge: how to sustain a career beyond the initial momentum supplied by a couple of big competition wins. It is a daunting task. ``What do you do?'' Pawlik said. ``You try to get as many supporters as possible. It's always up and down.'' Specifically, you (or your management) pester presenters, conductors - anyone with the clout to give you a chance. Maybe, an influential teacher might put a word in for you. Piano and Friends, designed expressly to expose young and emerging talent, routinely relies on recommendations of established pianists such as Russell Sherman, a New England Conservatory professor who taught at the University of Arizona in the 1960s.

Extractions: clubs by night bands in town club directory pop concerts ... hot links Main event. "The future isn't what it used to be," composer Elliott Carter quipped to a benefit audience for the Boston Musica Viva at a superb concert of his music a few weeks before his 92nd birthday, which fell on December 11. At least as far as Carter is concerned, we have a long past to be grateful for. Not to mention a recent past. He's been working like a dynamo, and his latest pieces are among his most exciting and youthful. His first opera, What Next? , had its first American performances in Chicago and New York this millennial year, and one of the great events of 2000 was this past summer's Festival of Contemporary Music at Tanglewood, at which Carter was composer in residence. The BSO played its first performance in 36 years of Carter's seminal Variations for Orchestra , under the illuminating baton of Robert Spano. And there were a number of American premieres played by the Tanglewood fellows, especially a dazzling and moving new chamber-orchestra piece called the ASKO Concerto that was led by Stefan Asbury.

Extractions: Live in Studio 4A: Christopher O'Riley Pianist Christopher O'Riley (left) took up a unique challenge: transcribing rock music and transforming it into classical arrangements for solo piano. The host of public radio program From the Top joined our host Fred Child in 4A to talk about and perform his work. (May 2002) Listen to the entire hour O'Riley Bio Browse selected audio excerpts Related links View the first page of Chris' "Black Star" manuscript View a photo gallery of the performance Since the day Chuck Berry first told Beethoven to roll over, classical music and rock have had an on-again, off-again relationship. The music and musicians can seem so far apart a gap demonstrated by such painful examples of temporary insanity as "Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Play the Beatles," and "The Immortal Songs of Bob Dylan," as interpreted by the Gotham String Quartet. Christopher O'Riley's Radiohead transcriptions are in another league, that small category of crossover that actually works. Radiohead's music, created collaboratively by its five members, is verging on classical music to begin with. The music uses various unlikely time signatures and quirky electronic instruments. And the production is impeccable; there's hardly a note out of place.
Extractions: Friends and an adopted son drive to the sea to carry out Jack Dodds' wish to have his ashes cast upon the waves. Along the way, in alternating first-person narratives, the living disclose predictable surprises and ponder the big questions what's it all about, anyway? While Swift deserves credit for trying to capture the day-to-day life of his lower-middle-class characters, the result is banal. The first-person voices are unconvincing, the competing narratives cumulatively unrevealing, and the pearls of wisdom paste. In this demotic novel, Swift grants his narrators the depth and complexity of characters in a television mini-series. Joseph Shea Blake
