- YAM was opened by lake highlands residents, Jen & Trey Johnson, with the goal to create a community-based space to help highlight amazing local yoga teachers, artists and musicians.

- In 1949, angry at his very modern scores, Stalin had his father-in-law killed in what was made to look like an auto accident, but the composer wasn’t fooled.
- In India, music has been put into the service of religion from earliest times; Vedic hymns stand at the beginning of the record.
- With Webern, Iman is more able to create his brand of “atonal lyricism,” at least in spots, and this is in line with the way Webern conducted his own music .
‘Ethera’ by Sasson is a piece that invites us to reflect on life without leaving the dance-floor. It features delightful moments of calmness yet showcases resolutely uplifting parts. With its magical sounds it keeps one’s mind completely focused at all times. Called a “master composer” by The Boston Globe for his jazz orchestra’s debut CD, First Storybook, Hans Indigo Spencer’s career includes working with theater directors, filmmakers, animators, and choreographers.

Through its wind instruments, it invites one to visit other cultures and heritages. ‘Play a Part’ from Armenian producer Teom drags us quickly until we find ourselves contemplating a surreal sunset in the desert. Without a doubt, the vocals along with the electronic sequences are the perfect engine to get us there comfortably.

Matthew just responded to this subtle change of sound physics of the new mouthpiece and further advanced our already highly ever-evolving symbiotic musical relationship. The Flute Concerto No. 1, evidently written to comply with the Soviets’ demand for accessible music, is an unusually chipper piece for him at this stage of his life , but chipper it is. Coming on the CD between the Seventh and Third symphonies, it acts as a sort of upbeat emotional buffer. Gražinytė-Tyla’s performance, along with flautist Marie-Christine Zupancic, is appropriately upbeat. There is little or no angst here, but how can you make a flute express sadness and despair? The opening of the last movement is wholly unique, sounding like a phone ringing that is not answered before going into soft, moving figures in the violins.
Scopel Plays Almeida Prados Nocturnes
Sextus Empiricus, who said that music was an art of tones and rhythms only that meant nothing outside itself. We’ve created a new place where questions are at the center of learning. Continuously striving to open up evocative artistic experiences for a wide audience, Horst aims to present contemporary art outside the institutionalized white cube context.
Then, he suddenly rallies for a fast ending, albeit one that sounds a bit more like a fit of panic than one of triumph. The solo cello sonata, composed as far back as 1955 in Berlin, is more reminiscent of Zoltán Kodály’s excellent 1915 cello sonata than of the kind of music prevalent in Germany in the ‘50s, which would have been either the influence of Schoenberg or Hindemith. Although Crumb was not yet “really” the Crumb we know from about 1964 onward, it is still a creative piece, occasionally using some light microtonal effects, and played superbly here by the then-39-year-old de Saram. The second movement, with its moving harmonies, borders on the atonal, while in the third Crumb throws in a quite jazzy syncopated rhythm, which de Saram captures perfectly. The rest of his colleagues come from a chamber group formed in 1973 with the express purpose of exploring “music, old and new, from around the world,” Ensemble Dreamtiger, and it figures that I had never heard of them before. If you don’t specialize in the old-timey music that’s been around since Victoria was the Queen of England, you don’t get much promotion.
Why do music and art move us?
We see them as catalysts to build Labs, Exhibitions, and Festivals as momentums for the better. We’ve managed to teach ourselves how to express ideas through written words, as well as emotions through art and music. Through our art and music, the emotion felt by an artist may be encoded through color, shadow and harmony to be decoded and experienced by an observer or listener. By consciously focusing on art and music together, we can create new art forms.
I know that Aboriginal artists are not specifically including musical references, and most do not use music as the inspiration for their art, however, the colours, shapes, designs, and forms speak loudly of music to me. Helping students become global citizens has long been an important part of what Art & Music Histories does. Art history program accredited in the United States where most of the study—two of three semesters—is conducted in Italy.
