SUMMARY:Live from the Mead Witter School of Music - Aspen String Trio
DESCRIPTION:Free | No ticket required\nAlso streaming live \nLive from the Mead Witter School of Music presents:\nAspen String Trio \nDavid Perry\, violin\nVictoria Chiang\, viola\nMichael Mermagen\, cello \n…… \nProgram  \n \n…… \nThe Aspen String Trio is one of the rare professional string trios performing and touring today. Celebrated for visionary programming and virtuoso performances offered with humor and insight\, AST performs the complete trios of Beethoven\, Mozart\, and Schubert\, as well as lesser known blockbuster works by Dohnanyi\, Hindemith\, Martinů\, Rozsa\, Klein\, Veress\, Villa-Lobos and Ysaÿe\, among others. Their many “themed” concert programs are in high demand\, including a Goldberg Variations lecture recital\,  Recovering “Degenerate” Music\, offering works of heartstopping beauty by composers tragically suppressed by the Nazi regime\, and a new program that imaginatively explores  John Harbison’s brilliant new trio\,  “a major addition to the tiny string trio repertory\,” paired with the work that inspired it\, Mozart’s K563 “Divertimento\,” an extraordinary masterpiece that hides under its title.  During his recent centennial year\, AST introduced MieczysławWeinberg’s ravishing String Trio\, only recently re-discovered. \nConsistently praised for their masterful sensitivity and nuance\, their ultra-refined musicianship\, tight ensemble work and musical intelligence\, AST formed as summer artist teaching colleagues at Aspen Music Festival and School more than twenty years ago.  Violinist David Perry\, formerly a member of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra\, now leads the Pro Arte Quartet\, in residence at University of Wisconsin–Madison\, where he holds a Collins Endowed Professorship; he is also concertmaster of the Chicago Philharmonic. Violist Victoria Chiang is a member of the artist faculty of the Peabody Conservatory of Music\, was formerly on the faculty of The Juilliard School and the Hartt School of Music\, and previously served on the board of the American Viola Society.  Cellist Michael Mermagen is Associate Professor of Cello at UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance; formerly Associate Professor of Cello and Chamber Music at The Catholic University of America\, and he has served as Chamber Symphony Principal Cellist of the Aspen Music Festival and School for more than 25 years. \nReturning to live performance after the pandemic\, the Trio’s engagements this season include performances and outreach for the Omaha Chamber Music Society\, the Omaha Conservatory of Music\, University of Nebraska-Omaha\, the National Music Museum\, the Bach Festival Society\, Rollins College\, and the Rutenberg Series (USF\, Tampa). Recent engagements have included performances paired with educational engagement at the Chamber Music Society of Logan\, Lousiana State University in Baton Rouge\, and on series the Artists’ Series (Tallahassee)\, Beaux Arts Chamber Music Series (Naples)\, Ashville Chamber Music Series\, Chamber Music Kelowna (BC)\, Los Angeles Music Guild\, Barge Music (New York)\, and the National Gallery of Art (Washington\, DC).  The trio has held residencies in Texas\, Georgia\, the Carolinas\, Iowa\, Alabama\, Delaware\, Washington\, and Colorado. For six seasons AST was Ensemble-in-Residence at the University of Baltimore. \nThe trio offers extensive outreach as an integral part of all residencies. As teaching faculty at distinguished universities and conservatories\, trio members are all master teachers\, offering inspiring classes\, lessons and chamber music coachings for all ages\, children through adult\, and all experience levels.  While on the road they perform in community centers\, senior residences\, and in health care facilities. They also offer a variety of professional development workshops focusing on career-oriented topics such as: The business of music\, The successful chamber ensemble\, Teamwork and leadership\, Effective rehearsal strategies\, and Teaching as a profession. \nThe Aspen String Trio has recorded music of Mozart\, Beethoven and Strauss\, and is currently preparing the complete string trios and other music of Martinů for release on the Naxos label. \n…… \n“Live from the Mead Witter School of Music” is a chamber music series held the second Sunday of each month at the Hamel Music Center during the academic year. \nThe series is made available by the generosity of donors to the David and Kato Perlman Live from the Mead Witter School of Music Fund.

SUMMARY:Concert Choir & Chorale with Jocelyn Hagen - Changemaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets\n$20 general admission\nStudents free (ticket required)\nAlso streaming live \nMead Witter School of Music Changemaker Series\nWith Jocelyn Hagen\, composer and vocalist \nPre-concert talk with Jocelyn Hagen begins at 7 pm \nDr. Mariana Farah and Dr. Bert Pinsonneault\, conductors\nJocelyn Hagen\, composer\nMonica Bertrand and Benjamin Hanson\, assistant conductors\nBoris Krivoshein and Hyeyeon Seok\, piano \n…… \nProgram\n \n…… \nJocelyn Hagen composes music that has been described as “simply magical” (Fanfare Magazine) and “dramatic and deeply moving” (Star Tribune\, Minneapolis/St. Paul). She is a pioneer in the field of composition\, pushing the expectations of musicians and audiences with large-scale multimedia works\, electro-acoustic music\, dance\, opera\, and publishing. Her first forays into composition were via songwriting\, still very evident in her work. The majority of her compositions are for the voice: solo\, chamber and choral. Her melodic music is rhythmically driven and texturally complex\, rich in color and deeply heartfelt. \nIn 2019 and 2020\, choirs and orchestras across the country are premiering her multimedia symphony The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci that includes video projections created by a team of visual artists\, highlighting da Vinci’s spectacular drawings\, inventions\, and texts. Hagen describes her process of composing for choir\, orchestra and film simultaneously in a Tedx Talk given at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis\, now available on YouTube. Her dance opera collaboration with choreographer Penelope Freeh\, Test Pilot\, received the 2017 American Prize in the musical theater/opera division as well as a Sage Award for “Outstanding Design.” The panel declared the work “a tour de force of originality.” \nAs a fierce advocate for gender equality and inclusivity\, Hagen’s Compose Like A Girl initiative amplifies female-identifying composers\, helps conductors diversify their concerts\, and works toward more equality in music programming and commissioning. Through her podcasts\, she engages in discussions with renowned composers like Reena Esmail\, Chen Yi\, and Rosephanye Powell. These conversations delve into the dynamics of opportunity\, power\, and privilege within the arts\, advocating for female-identifying composers to embrace their unique artistic expression with confidence. The initiative also provides mentorship to emerging women composers\, and highlights excellent work through her newly developed Compose Like A Girl Choral Series. \nIn 2013 Hagen released an EP entitled MASHUP\, in which she performs Debussy’s “Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum” while singing Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team.” She is also one half of the band Nation\, an a cappella duo with composer/performer Timothy C. Takach\, and together they perform and serve as clinicians for choirs from all over the world. \nHagen’s commissions include Conspirare\, the Minnesota Opera\, the Minnesota Orchestra\, the International Federation of Choral Music\, the American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota\, Georgia\, Connecticut and Texas\, the North Dakota Music Teachers Association\, Cantus\, the Boston Brass\, the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra and the St. Olaf Band\, among many others. Her work is independently published through JH Music\, as well as through Graphite Publishing\, G. Schirmer\, ECS Publishing\, Fred Bock Music Publishing\, Santa Barbara Music Publishing\, and Boosey and Hawkes.
