SUMMARY:Joshua Bell\, violin & Peter Dugan\, piano
DESCRIPTION:With a career spanning almost four decades\, GRAMMY® Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated artists of his era. Having performed with virtually every major orchestra in the world\, Bell continues to maintain engagements as soloist\, recitalist\, chamber musician\, conductor\, and Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. \nBell’s highlights in the 2021–22 season include leading the Academy of St Martin in the Fields at the 2021 BBC Proms\, throughout Europe\, and the United States on tour; returning with the Philadelphia Orchestra for a play/conduct program\, to the Verbier Festival\, the Minnesota Orchestra\, and the New York Philharmonic; and tours with the Israel Philharmonic and NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra as soloist. Additional 2021–22 performances to be announced. \nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic\, Bell joined the classical music world in bringing world-class performances online. In summer 2020\, PBS presented Joshua Bell: At Home With Music\, a nationwide broadcast directed by Tony and Emmy award winner Dori Berinstein\, produced entirely in lockdown. The program included core classical repertoire as well as new arrangements of beloved works\, including a West Side Story medley. The special featured guest artists Larisa Martínez\, Jeremy Denk\, Peter Dugan\, and Kamal Khan. In August 2020\, Sony Classical released the companion album to the special\, Joshua Bell: At Home With Music. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nOrchestra/Mezz\nBalconies\n\n\nUNCG Students\n$5\n$5\n\n\nNon-UNCG Students\n$10\n$10\n\n\nSingle\n$75\n$70\n\n\nSeniors/Military\nFaculty/Staff/Retirees\n$65\n$60\n\n\nPurchase Tickets\n* Tickets to CVPA and UCLS events are sold exclusively through our box office locations and ETix website\, and nowhere else. Tickets purchased through third-party vendors cannot be honored. \n\n\n\n \nIn 2011\, Bell was named Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields\, succeeding Sir Neville Marriner\, who formed the orchestra in 1959. Bell’s history with the Academy dates back to 1986 when he first recorded the Bruch and Mendelsohn concertos with Mariner and the orchestra. Bell has since directed the orchestra on several albums including Vivaldi’s Four Seasons\, Voice of the Violin\, For the Love of Brahms\, and most recently\, Bruch: Scottish Fantasy\, which was nominated for a 2019 GRAMMY® Award. \nBell has performed for three American presidents and the sitting justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. He participated in former president Barack Obama’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities’ first cultural mission to Cuba\, joining Cuban and American musicians on a 2017 Live from Lincoln Center Emmy nominated PBS special\, Joshua Bell: Seasons of Cuba\, celebrating renewed cultural diplomacy between Cuba and the United States. \nBorn in Bloomington\, Indiana\, Bell began the violin at age four\, and at age twelve\, began studies with his mentor\, Josef Gingold. At age 14\, Bell debuted with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra\, and made his Carnegie Hall debut at age 17 with the St. Louis Symphony. At age 18\, Bell signed with his first label\, London Decca\, and received the Avery Fisher Career Grant. In the years following\, Bell has been named 2010 “Instrumentalist of the Year” by Musical America\, a 2007 “Young Global Leader” by the World Economic Forum\, nominated for six GRAMMY® awards\, and received the 2007 Avery Fisher Prize. He has also received the 2003 Indiana Governor’s Arts Award and a Distinguished Alumni Service Award in 1991 from the Jacobs School of Music. In 2000\, he was named an “Indiana Living Legend.” \n\n \nPianist Peter Dugan’s debut performances with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony were described by the Los Angeles Times as “stunning” and by the SF Chronicle as “fearlessly athletic.” He is heard every week across America as the host of National Public Radio’s beloved program From the Top. Mr. Dugan has appeared as a soloist\, recitalist\, and chamber musician across North America and abroad. In 2020\, he joined acclaimed violinist Joshua Bell for At Home With Music\, a national PBS broadcast and live album release on Sony Classical. This season Mr. Dugan continues his collaboration with Bell\, touring internationally with recitals at London’s Wigmore Hall\, Taipei’s National Theater and Concert Hall\, and the Kennedy Center in Washington\, DC. \nPrizing stylistic versatility as the hallmark of a 21st century musician\, Mr. Dugan is equally at home in classical\, jazz\, and pop idioms\, and has collaborated with artists ranging from Jesse Colin Young\, to Renee Fleming\, to Paquito D’Rivera. Mr. Dugan performs regularly in partnership with friends and artists who share a passion for expanding the world of classical music. The Wall Street Journal described Mr. Dugan’s collaboration with violinist and vocalist Charles Yang as a “classical-meets-rockstar duo.” In Mr. Dugan’s performances with his wife\, mezzo-soprano Kara Dugan\, repertoire ranges from art song\, to American Songbook\, to original songs and world premieres. The Dugans have appeared at Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum\, WQXR’s Greene Space\, and on PBS Great Performances’ Now Hear This. \nMr. Dugan’s latest album with baritone John Brancy – The Journey Home: Live from the Kennedy Center – was released on Avie Records in 2021 along with an accompanying documentary film from WNET’s AllArts. Brancy and Dugan have given recitals at Alice Tully Hall\, Carnegie Hall\, and the Kennedy Center\, and together won first prize at the 2018 Montreal International Music Competition. Mr. Dugan’s latest project with violinist Sean Lee was PaganiniXSchumann\, a digital EP release that accompanied a live performance at Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center of all 24 Paganini Caprices with piano parts written by Robert Schumann. Mr. Dugan appeared as the piano soloist in Charles Ives’ 4th Symphony with the Houston Symphony\, the San Francisco Symphony\, and on an album with Michael Tilson Thomas and the SFS. \nMr. Dugan advocates for a classical music culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all\, from a community’s concert halls and theaters\, to its schools and hospitals. As a founding creator of Operation Superpower\, a superhero opera for children\, he has travelled to dozens of schools in the greater New York area\, performing for students and encouraging them to use their talents – their superpowers – for good. He is head of the Artist in Residence program at pianoSonoma and a founding faculty member of the Resonance and Soundboard Institutes at Honeywell Arts Academy. \nMr. Dugan holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from The Juilliard School\, where he studied under Matti Raekallio. He resides in New York City and is a Yamaha Artist. \n\nIn addition to public presentations\, every artist in the UCLS series does important work with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage. Thanks to The Cemala Foundation\, some of these artists also work with K-12 students in the Guilford County Schools.

She has performed widely in such settings as the Brancaleoni International Music Festival in Italy\, the Gijón International Piano Festival in Spain\, the Kennedy Center\, Interlochen Arts Academy\, and China. (However\, she sometimes prefers to perform in intimate spaces such as living rooms\, personal Zoom calls\, and breweries.) Recent performances have included Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy with UNCG’s University Symphony Orchestra\, Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra\, Messiaen’s La ville d’en haut with the University of Michigan Symphony Band\, and Messiaen’s Oiseaux exotiques with the University of Michigan Contemporary Directions Ensemble. A Presser scholar\, Annie has presented at Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) conferences at collegiate\, state\, and national levels and College Music Society (CMA) regional conferences. \nAnnie’s essential goal as an artist is to make communities richer and more meaningful through the arts. To this end\, Annie strives to make music accessible to audiences of all backgrounds by expanding and rethinking the traditional recital format to include interdisciplinary and interactive elements\, all with the aim of encouraging audiences to engage with the artistic experience. Recent projects include\, “Music by the Barrel\,” which was a concert series at the Ann Arbor Distilling Company in Ann Arbor\, “Beyond the Keys: Unlocking Piano Works” which was an interactive concert on the roof of a parking deck performed by her piano pedagogy students\, and “Brews-keys” which featured UNCG piano faculty and students at Oden Brewing Company in Greensboro\, North Carolina. She also led music workshops that focused on group singing and music as a form of expression through the Prison Creative Arts Project at University of Michigan. \nDuring the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, Annie personally picked up and delivered keyboards to UNCG piano students in order to ensure that music within student’s lives would not be stopped. As a strong believer of creating a better and more equitable “normal\,” she also founded A Seat at the Piano (ASAP) in the summer of 2020 (aseatatthepiano.com). ASAP is a resource that is dedicated to the promotion of inclusion in the performance and study of solo piano repertoire. \nMuch of Annie’s research is devoted to contemporary music and studying the pedagogical capabilities of contemporary piano techniques. In 2018\, Annie received the Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship from the University of Michigan to create a pedagogical resource called Circles and Lines that will feature newly commissioned works by female composers that introduce unconventional piano techniques to intermediate pianists. She is also the pianist of Khemia Ensemble (khemiaensemble.com)\, a contemporary chamber ensemble that is dedicated to promoting contemporary classical music by cultivating inclusive place-making\, collaborative mentorships\, and authentic storytelling through immersive\, multimedia performances. She released the album\, “World Map” with Parma Recordings as the former pianist of Four Corner’s Ensemble. Committed to supporting musicians in finding their unique career path\, she also worked as a Programming Assistant at University of Michigan’s Excellence in Entrepreneurship\, Career Empowerment & Leadership (EXCEL) Lab. She also serves as a member of the National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy (NCKP) Career Development and Innovation Committee. \nAnnie received her MM in Piano Performance from the University of Michigan and her BM in Piano Performance with a minor in Public Health from New York University. She received her DMA in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from the University of Michigan in 2019. Her teachers include Logan Skelton\, José Ramón Mendez\, Miyoko Lotto\, Anne-Marie McDermott\, and Faye Bonner. She is currently the Assistant Professor of Piano and Piano Pedagogy at University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Performers in the current Wind Ensemble are drawn from sixteen states\, Slovenia\, and Hong Kong. The ensemble has enjoyed a distinguished record of performance throughout its history. In January 1992\, the UNCG Wind Ensemble performed “A Tribute to John Philip Sousa” to a capacity crowd of 2\,700 at the Concert Hall of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington\, D.C. Twice\, the Wind Ensemble earned critical acclaim from The Washington Post following concerts in the nation’s capital. The Wind Ensemble has performed throughout the eastern United States in recent years including the first-ever performance\, in 1987\, by a North Carolina collegiate ensemble in Lincoln Center\, New York City. The Wind Ensemble performed that same year in West Virginia\, Virginia\, Pennsylvania\, and Washington\, D.C. The Wind Ensemble has recorded nineteen commercially-available albums which have received widespread praise. \nIn 1985\, the Wind Ensemble performed a series of concerts with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer-conductor Karel Husa. In 1988\, the UNCG Wind Ensemble performed in New Orleans\, Louisiana by invitation of the College Band Directors National Association for the Southern Division convention. On a number of occasions\, the Wind Ensemble has commissioned and premiered works from leading band composers.

SUMMARY:On the Brink of Late Beethoven • Faculty and Guest Artist Recital
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE TICKETSDOWNLOAD PROGRAMVIEW ON CPVA LIVE\nRobert Bracey\, tenor\nNicholas DiEugenio\, violin\nBrent Wissick\, cello\nAndrew Willis\, fortepiano \n\n   \n\n\n\n\nAudiences and Tickets\nTickets are required to attend any concert or recital in person. Patrons must sit in their assigned seat.\n\n\n\nFace Coverings\nFace coverings that cover the nose and mouth are strongly encouraged\, but not required\, while inside the performance hall. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nThe 1841 Bösendorfer grand piano\nThe 1841 Bösendorfer grand piano represents the piano builder’s craft in the era when Chopin\, Mendelssohn\, Schumann\, and Liszt were at the height of their powers. Restored by Edward Swenson of Trumansburg\, New York\, it is an early example of the work of the Viennese builder Ignaz Bösendorfer (1794-1859)\, whose firm\, founded in 1828\, still makes some of the world’s finest pianos. An expanded and strengthened descendent of the Classical-era fortepianos played by Mozart and Haydn\, it is similar to the pianos Beethoven knew during his later years. It has a range of six and a half octaves with 81 keys of ivory and ebony\, leather-covered hammers attached directly to the keys\, parallel stringing throughout the scale\, and pedals for lifting the dampers and shifting the keyboard (una corda). The case\, veneered in ash\, supports the tension of the strings without the assistance of an iron plate. The sound delivers clarity\, variety of color\, and the sweetness of tone for which Bösendorfer was particularly esteemed. \nAndrew Willis\, fortepiano\nPianist Andrew Willis explores the historical development of keyboard instruments and their performance practice\, maintaining a commitment to the study\, performance\, and teaching of the widest possible range of repertoire. Keenly interested in the history of the piano\, he contributes frequently to conferences\, festivals\, and concert series.

Willis received the DMA in Historical Performance from Cornell University\, where he studied fortepiano with\nMalcolm Bilson\, the MM in Accompanying and Chamber Music from Temple University under George Sementovsky and Lambert Orkis\, and the BM in Piano from The Curtis Institute of Music\, where his mentor was Mieczyslaw Horszowski. \nRobert Bracey\, tenor\nRobert Bracey has performed throughout the United States and made appearances in Canada\, Russia\, Europe\, India\, and Japan.

He is currently Professor of Voice and Chair of the Voice Area at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. \nNicholas DiEugenio\, violin\nPraised for the “rapturous poetry” in his playing (American Record Guide) and as an “excellent” and “evocative” violinist (New York Times)\, Nicholas DiEugenio leads a versatile performing life as a chamber musician\, leader\, and soloist in music ranging from early baroque to current commissions. He performs in venues such as Glinka Hall in St. Petersburg\, Trinity Wall St.\, Freiburg’s Ensemblehaus\, and Weill Recital Hall. Together with pianist and duo partner Mimi Solomon\, Nicholas created the project “Unraveling Beethoven\,” a cycle of all ten violin sonatas combined with response works from composers Tonia Ko\, Jesse Jones\, Robert Honstein\, D.K. Garner\, and Allen Anderson. The award-winning album Unraveling Beethoven was released in 2018 by New Focus Recordings. Other featured recordings include the complete Violin Sonatas of Robert Schumann (Musica Omnia) as well as a tribute to Pulitzer prizewinner Steven Stucky (New Focus).
