CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Live from Hochstein – A Celebration of Dance
Event summary
Featuring E-Na Song, piano.
Event details

Inspired by people close to her who are all dancers – including her mother, who is a traditional Korean dancer; her Eastman School professor, Rebecca Penneys, a former ballet dancer; and her significant other, also a former ballet dancer – E-Na Song explores a variety of dance-influenced music in various writing styles and time periods.

This program features Beethoven’s uplifting Polonaise; Liszt’s dramatic and lyrical Tarantella, which has long been on Song’s wish list of pieces to learn; Dances of Marosszek by Kodály, an emotionally wide-ranging piece based on folk tunes from Hungary; and “Sleepwalker’s Shuffle” from Albright’s The Dream Rags, inspired by ragtime music.

Born in Korea, Dr. E-Na Song is a concert pianist, collaborative pianist, and educator. As an active performer, she has performed throughout the US, Poland, Spain, Austria, and Korea. Recently she has appeared in venues such as Weill Recital Hall (Carnegie Hall), Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, and The Hochstein School. When she is not performing or teaching, Song works as the Assistant Director of the Rebecca Penneys Piano Festival.

The Hochstein School’s free noontime Live from Hochstein concert series will be hosted by WXXI Classical’s Brenda Tremblay and broadcast live on WXXI Classical.

From winter’s blue cold, to Indonesia and Norway, and Iceland to South America, this collection of pieces draws inspiration from places near and far.

The program includes Awake by Patrick Burke, inspired by Javanese gamelan; Öldurót (Ocean Waves) by Icelandic composer and multi-instrumentalist Olafur Arnalds; Moon Currents by Diego Garcia, inspired by tango; Dreams of Glass and Water by Norwegian composer Kari Telstad Sundet; and Pale as Centuries, music that conjures winter by Sarah Kirkland Snider.

Described as “classical turned loose in the toy store” (Jeff Spevak, WXXI-FM), fivebyfive is an artist-led Rochester, NY-based ensemble formed in 2015 with a mission to engage audiences in the collaborative spirit and creativity of today’s chamber music. The ensemble has appeared nationally on American Public Media’s Performance Today with host Fred Child, on WXXI Classical 91.5’s programs Backstage Pass and Live from Hochstein, and Fresh Ink on WCNY, among other programs. Their name comes from a two-way radio term meaning to be heard loud and clear.

Live from Hochstein – The Music of William Grant Still
Event summary
Featuring Tony Caramia, piano, and Renée Jolles, violin.
Event details

Pianist Tony Caramia and violinist Renée Jolles – both instructors at the Eastman School of Music – present a program exploring three rather different parts of the genius of “the dean of African American composers,” William Grant Still. Still worked in all genres of music including classical (the first African American in the US to have a symphony performed by a major orchestra, the RPO), jazz (arranging for both W.C. Handy and Artie Shaw), Broadway (playing in some of the pit orchestras), modern music (studying in New York with Edgard Varèse), and Hollywood (working in film and radio).

Still’s Three Visions is a suite in three parts for solo piano that depicts an apocalypse, an afterlife, and reincarnation. ​Tony Caramia will also play selections from Still’s mystical and elusive Seven Traceries, which were his attempt to capture seven aspects of God. 

Still’s Suite for Violin and Piano took as its inspiration three sculptures: Richmond Barthé’s African Dancer, Sargent Johnson’s Mother and Child, and Augusta Savage’s Gamin, each one by artists associated with the Harlem Renaissance.

Professor of Piano at the Eastman School of Music since 1990, Tony Caramia directs the Piano Pedagogy Studies program, coordinates the Class Piano program, and teaches applied piano and beginning jazz piano.  He has released six recordings, including Hot Ivories, Nimble-Fingered Gentleman, Zebra Stripes, Brass Knuckles, Upstate Standards with trombonist Mark Kellogg, and Tribute.

Professor of Violin at the Eastman School of Music, Renée Jolles enjoys an eclectic career as soloist and chamber artist specializing in a wide variety of styles from the Baroque to the contemporary. She has premiered hundreds of works, including the American premiere of Schnittke’s Violin Concerto No. 2. In 2014, she inaugurated Eastman’s celebrated annual Holocaust Remembrance Concert series.

The Hochstein School’s free noontime Live from Hochstein concert series will be hosted by WXXI Classical’s Mona Seghatoleslami and broadcast live on WXXI Classical. Listen to the concert at WXXI-FM 91.5, WXXY 90.3, or online at https://www.wxxiclassical.org. Listen to an encore broadcast on WXXI Classical 91.5 FM at 10:00 pm the day of the concert.

Live from Hochstein – Cellist Hilary Glen Performs Music with Rochester Ties
Event summary
Featuring Hilary Glen, cello, and Priscilla Yuen, piano.
Event details

This concert highlights three composers with ties to Rochester – George Walker, who received a doctorate in composition from Eastman School of Music; Adolphus Hailstork, who was born in Rochester; and R. Nathaniel Dett, who earned his master’s degree at Eastman in 1932.

George Walker completed his Sonata for Cello and Piano two years after attending ESM. This technically challenging work weaves complex rhythmic structures with passionate lyricism, with hints of blues harmonies and a third movement that is fast and fiery. Walker earned many firsts as a Black musician. In addition to being the first African American to earn a doctorate from ESM, he was also the first to graduate from Curtis, the first to earn a tenured position at Smith College, and the first to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music.

Hailstork based his Theme and Variations on the Shaker song “Draw the Sacred Circle Closer” using a translation of lines of text by Friedrich Schiller. The same text was in the “Ode to Joy” in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Hailstork’s five variations move through many different characters and moods including playful, introspective, and enthusiastic.

R. Nathaniel Dett is known for his use of African American folk songs and spirituals as the basis for choral and piano compositions. Glen has selected three of his songs from the Sibley Library Special Collections and is arranging them for cello and piano: “Were Thou the Moon,” “A Thousand Years Ago or More,” and “O Lord, the Hard-won Miles.”

A versatile performer, Hilary Glen has played rock shows, orchestral concerts, chamber music, and everything in between, collaborating with such notable musicians and ensembles as Joshua Bell, Robin Thicke, New World Symphony, Gil Shaham, The Eagles, Atlanta Symphony, The Temptations, RPO, and The Who. She currently teaches music appreciation at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, and Suzuki and traditional cello at The Hochstein School and ROC Music.

Pianist Priscilla Yuen enjoys a rich and varied career as a soloist, collaborator, teacher, and administrator. Currently a faculty member at the Eastman School of Music, Yuen regularly supports instrumentalists and vocalists from across the Eastman community as they prepare for recitals, competitions, and recordings.  Additionally, she serves on the piano faculty at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

The Hochstein School’s free noontime Live from Hochstein concert series will be hosted by WXXI Classical’s Mona Seghatoleslami and broadcast live on WXXI Classical. Listen to the concert at WXXI-FM 91.5, WXXY 90.3, or online at https://www.wxxiclassical.org. Listen to an encore broadcast on WXXI Classical 91.5 FM at 10:00 pm the day of the concert.

Live from Hochstein – Antara Winds: Music with Latin-American Flair
Event summary
Featuring Antara Winds: Diane Smith, flute; Judith Ricker, oboe; Margaret Quackenbush, clarinet; Blaire Koerner, bassoon; and Nikolette LaBonte, horn.
Event details

Founded in 1982, Antara Winds have appeared regularly on Live from Hochstein and have performed extensively throughout the Greater Rochester area including appearances with the Rochester Oratorio Society, Perinton Concert Band, and Society for Chamber Music in Rochester. 

For this concert, the ensemble explores music by Latin American composers. Milonga Sin Palabras (milonga is a musical song genre found in South America) is by Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla and is typical of his emotional and pensive style.

Wind Quintet No. 2, by Uruguayan composer Miguel del Aguila, makes use of modern, unusual techniques to paint landscapes of sound depicting both a tropical Latin-American mood and Middle Eastern exoticism.

Antara Winds delights in bringing audiences the music of contemporary composers. They have premiered two works written specifically for Antara: Verne Reynolds’ Antara Music (2003), and Libby Larsen’s Blue Windows: After Marc Chagall (2005).

The Hochstein School’s free noontime Live from Hochstein concert series will be hosted by WXXI Classical’s Mona Seghatoleslami and broadcast live on WXXI Classical. Listen to the concert at WXXI-FM 91.5, WXXY 90.3, or online at https://www.wxxiclassical.org. Listen to an encore broadcast on WXXI Classical 91.5 FM at 10:00 pm the day of the concert.

As an organization that deeply values diversity, The Hochstein School stands in solidarity with all marginalized communities who are targeted with microaggressions of hate and with violence. We denounce any injustices perpetrated towards them. We are committed to speaking out against all forms of racism and bigotry and will continue our work in bringing unity and inclusiveness to all - at Hochstein and throughout our community.

 

 

The Hochstein School, founded in commemoration of genius and dedicated to providing access to opportunity, is a vibrant community of musicians, dancers, and supporters who choose to come together in this historic and inspiring place to develop in themselves, and in each other, the ability to speak and communicate through the making of music and dance. We do this with the conviction that music nurtures, enriches, and energizes every human life, and that the joy of making music, and all the expressive arts that it inspires, holds the key to creating a better world.
