Extractions: I IN OTHER WORDS Willy Russell and Tim Firth have just completed a tour of the U.K., performing both words and music. " 'IN OTHER WORDS' is a night of music, songs, verse, readings and anecdotes, all woven together and performed by Tim and myself appearing as soloists, as a duo or as part of a six piece band, led by musical director, Andy Roberts. There'll be items both from 'HOOVERING THE MOON' and from Tim's forthcoming album, 'HARMLESS FLIRTING' and there'll be readings and passages from 'THE WRONG BOY', 'SHIRLEY VALENTINE' etc., along with some passages from 'BLOOD BROTHERS' and some wickedly funny Tim Firth pieces. Think of a concert, fused with a poetry reading, doused with a dollop of theatre, sprinkled with stand-up and then all kneaded together in a bowl of linguistic pyrex!"

Sperling-Livingston Why Not Piano Duo Jazz pianist and classical composer Chris Culpo lives and works in Paris. of piano with russell sherman at the New England Conservatory of Music, http://www.paristransatlantic.com/duo/
Extractions: Pianists Guy Livingston (Yale University, New England Conservatory) and Maria Sperling (Stellenbosch University, Royal Conservatory of the Netherlands) present an energetic and sometimes sober, sometimes drunken look at the links between two of the highest arts: music and wine. Their name, a pun on Wine Note, is for fun. And so is the music of this rambunctious duo, whose concerts celebrate wine, with classical (and not so classical) music. Broadway meets Jazz, Cabaret meets Opera, as these duo pianists (also a duo in their private life) perform together. And it's not just piano either...don't be surprised if you hear a wine-bottle-marimba! German Tour - May 2005

Extractions: back to Events YOUNG PIANIST'S BEETHOVEN COMPETITION Brochure for 2005 competition (pdf) 2005 Finalists and winners Review of the masterclass Philosophy and Procedures The Young Pianist's Beethoven competition was founded in 1987 by Celia Méndez, a San José private piano teacher, with the purpose of being an artistic learning experience, a pedagogical tool for California High School students in the process of understanding the interpretation of Beethoven's piano sonatas. Consistent with this purpose, the "prize" of the competition is participation in a master class given to the three finalists by an internationally renown artist. Added awards are performing opportunitiessuch as the one offered in the past by the "Grand Piano" television program and presently by the Steinway Society The Bay Areaand a monetary prize, this last one having only an ancillary character. In order to emphasize the artistic-pedagogical tenets of this competition, the focus has been diverted from the order of placement (first, second and third place) to the recognition of overall artistic merit by selecting three award winners to participate in the master class without assigning them first, second or third places. The elements that determine the selection of the students are: individuality of interpretation, communication on an emotional level, general musicality, and stylistic understanding. Great performances are always individual, thoughtful, and touch the spirit. Although technical mastery is a "must," it should be reiterated that the true aim of this competition is to encourage performances of Beethoven's sonatas which reflect unique personal expression and which are original within the context of broad stylistic performance traditions. It should always be kept in mind thatas confirmed by recent scholarshipBeethoven's playing "was oriented toward the foal of emotional expression."
