International Music and Art Foundation

Faculty also maintain active relationships with academic institutions and arts and heritage organizations around the world, and they frequently bring internationally renowned scholars and industry professionals to campus to work directly with students. Art & Music Histories offers courses covering global histories of art, architecture, and music from antiquity to the present day. Our programs are structured in a way that enables you to explore the histories of art, architecture, and/or music while also gaining hands-on experience in curatorial work, studio art, and music performance or production. In short, this is a highly entertaining piece if not a terribly deep one, but Zwilich’s sure grasp of the musical elements involved make it work. The third movement opens with light, high strings, almost like the Act I Prelude to Lohengrin, before moving on to a few comments from the soloist.

  • He proposes an interesting mix between minimalistic house and organic electronic music, achieving a resolutely futuristic track.
  • Helping students become global citizens has long been an important part of what Art & Music Histories does.
  • Simon Rattle is one such, particularly where Mahler or French impressionists are concerned.
  • A first glimpse of the 2022 programme will be revealed early December.
  • Scrap Arts Music is a unique Canadian project honoured to receive invitations to perform across North America and around the world for audiences from all walks of life.

Les Deux Amis, Flute and Guitar Duo Emerging young artists and currently graduate students at The Hartt School, Garcia and Hershey will present a delightful evening of chamber music. Each year WMSE loves to add something fun for patrons to take part in. This year Music Go Round Greenfield provided instruments to create a rock band set-up, and guests were encouraged to take a “Fantasy Rock Band” photos with their friends.

I need not add, for those who have sampled him on YouTube, that this is not how Bychkov normally conducts these works in live performances, but the recording is what it is. A neophyte listener will not be disappointed by it, and may in fact come to appreciate all its little details very well as this is the performance’s primary focus, but as an emotional statement, it comes close but no cigar. Witzel imparts a surprising, medium-fast Latin beat to Lerner and Loewe’s If Ever I Would Leave You although the middle eight, played by Ho, is in a straight 4, and it moves steadily into 4 once the initial theme statement is done and Ho begins soloing. We move back to the Latin beat for Witzel’s solo, here again at a high level, and again extended over more than one chorus. Ms. Information, another Witzel original, is not as fine a composition as the previous two, the melody line being vague and unmemorable, but again the solos are excellent.

It’s more of a carefree romp, although the bridge uses rising chromatics which gives the tune an interesting shape. Here, Zinn is the first soloist up, and he does try to play Witzel’s game of creating an entirely new piece from the basic material. He comes close, but eventually departs from the structure of the first half of his solo to “take off” in his own angular style. As I say, he’s quite interesting and not really disruptive, but at times he does sound as if he’s playing with a different group.

These features include two viewing rooms with large flat screen monitors, comfortable seating, fold-away tables, whiteboards, media players, gaming systems, 3D blu-ray, and more. Whereas Western music is arranged around specific major or minor keys that use specific notes contained in that scale, Hindustani music is arranged around the Indian equivalent of a Western major or minor key, with some differences. Hindustani music does not begin on a fixed pitch as in Western styles of art music, but rather can begin on any key. Indian classical music does not organize around harmony, but melody and the relative relationship of each note to the others.

He excels at creating an atmosphere in which artists can perform their best work. Steve is also the curator of The Studio’s vintage keyboard collection, which includes two Hammond organs w/Leslies, Fender Rhodes, a Wurlitzer electric piano, a Hohner Clavinet, and much more. The Milwaukee arts community came together once again on Friday, July 15th and a great time was had by all.
