Thanks for curating all these links, Jason. Difficult to believe it was 4 weeks ago that I spent a wonderful afternoon and evening enjoying music in your listening room.


Stay well.

"It was 4 weeks ago that I spent a wonderful afternoon and evening enjoying music in your listening room." quoted J Atkinson.

It is a never-before health crisis worldwide. This is no joke. There is already half a million US citizens contracted the deadly virus with around a hundred thousand dead as of today. There is no cure drug for this fatal sickness in the foreseeable future.

The death & sick counts are ticking every second !

While you guys are getting so excited to get ready to view the virtual musical performances of the famous musicians, don't you know those musicians are risking their life in cross-contamination of the virus bigtime when getting so close together during the performances.

No more social gatherings that undoubtedly including live musical performances until the pandemic curves in the country level down, showing sign of the pandemic diminishing.

Musicians are human like you & me. Why let them exposed to the deadly virus simply because to please you viewers!!!! This is inhuman unfairness.

While total social shut down in already in force, excluding essential services, e.g. grocery, medication & a very few businesses only for a month now in my city. NO outdoor social gathering over 4 persons or a huge fine for offenders.

Mouth masking & 6-ft social distancing are a must for shopping in most most grocery stores in my city as an effort to stop human virus transmission.

Please behave & stay at home to save everybody's life including music performers.

Hi

No performance, no income for musicians. This a hard reality.

Anna Pedorova, my most liked concert pianist, "one of the world's greatest young pianists" per Chronicle. Honestly, I am still yet to view another concert pianist that can match her performance of Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto: so powerful & yet so engaging. Maybe because she was born a Ukrainian Russian.

Because of the Pandemic, for the first time ever Anna played in an empty
Concertgebouw session without orchestra & audience. It was on Wed April 8 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Netherlands has taken this dead pandemic so seriously as early as April 8. Piano concert by a world famous pianist without any orchestra & audience. We can watch this concert in the YouTube.

How come you American musicians & audience take this deadly virus so easy???

No wonder so much pandemic fatalities in USA, up-counting every second!

Stay at home whoever we are to survive this deadly disease. No social gatherings including music performances.

We can always make it up later!

Live music is superior in almost every way to recorded or streamed.

Except, it's usually expensive.

Unless you're in the right place, it's almost always inconvenient.

And, going takes a huge amount of time, which is always in short supply.

All of the above conspire to make listening to live music difficult for many, especially kids. Not just now - even under what we all might consider normal conditions. Most kids don't have a ton of money and often can't go out during the school week.

At one time, people used to listen to live music via the radio. Not only during the 30's and 40's, but even in the 60's and early 70's. I recall listening to lots of now famous rock groups playing live on NYC and Boston radio stations. That sure was popular.

More people watch or listen to sports than can possibly attend games, for the reasons mentioned above. That seems to work for them.

So... If we as a society actually want kids to develop a greater appreciation of music and the live performance, perhaps these kinds of events should be emphasized and publicized all the time, not just during social distancing eras. However long this one might be.

Jeremy will curate three events, April 7, 27 and May 11, all centered around Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1. The first will feature Jeremy on his own playing and talking about several movements from the work, describing his journey as he prepared it, as well as some technical, musicological, cultural and philosophical reflections. The other two events will explore a variety of biographical pictures of Bach, and the last will invite a multi-disciplinary panel to look at how Bach's music teaches us to think through an idea, meditate on it, and dialogue with it.

Sunday, April 5 (7:30 pm EDT)
A rebroadcast of pianist Shai Wosner‘s May 2018 recital at 92Y. Wosner has been cited by the San Francisco Chronicle for his “agility and insight” and his “characteristic combination of dexterity and interpretive subtlety.” His program includes two of Schubert’s sublime late sonatas: the Sonata in G Major, D. 894, Op. 78 (“Fantasie”) and the Sonata in B-flat Major, D. 960. For the occasion, Wosner will introduce the works via video and record an encore at his home. https://www.92y.org/archives/shai-wosner-piano
Friday, April 10 (7:30 pm EDT)
Pianist Benjamin Hochman, a favorite of 92Y audiences, will perform a live streamed concert from his home. The all-Mozart program includes the composer’s Fantasia in C Minor and a pair of sonatas: No. 14 in C Minor and No. 12 in F Major. Hochman’s playing has been praised by The Boston Globe as “elegant, polished, and heartfelt.” https://www.92y.org/archives/benjamin-hochman-piano
Tuesday, April 14 (7:30 EDT)
Marc-André Hamelin, known as "one of the greatest living pianists" (Gramophone), streams a characteristically elegant program from his home, with the timely inclusion of Liszt's Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude [God's blessing in solitude].The repertoire also includes C. P. E. Bach, Enescu, Fauré, Scriabin, and six selections from Debussy's Preludes, Book II. https://www.92y.org/archives/marc-andre-hamelin-piano
Friday, April 17 (7:30 pm EDT)
Pedja Muzijevic’s upcoming concert at 92Y has been replaced by a live stream from the pianist’s home. Muzijevic’s program includes a pair of sonatas by C. P. E. Bach, along with Philip Glass‘s Mad Rush, John Cage’s proto-minimalist In a Landscape, selections from American composer George Antheil’s La femme 100 tête, and Satie’s Embryons desséchés. Muzijevic has been cited by The New York Times for his “refined” and “vibrant” playing. https://www.92y.org/archives/pedja-muzijevic-piano
Monday, April 20 (7:30 EDT)
Israeli-American pianist Renana Gutman, lauded by The New York Times for her “passionate and insightful” performances, will stream a live concert from her home. She will perform Bach’s French Suite No. 6 and Chopin’s 24 Preludes, Op. 28, plus works by Debussy, Fauré, and Scriabin. https://www.92y.org/archives/renana-gutman-piano
Thursday, April 23 (7:30 EDT)
Pianist Julia Hamos, whose playing has been described by The Independent as "warmly seductive," performs Schumann's Symphonic Etudes and Bartók's 15 Hungarian Peasant Songs. She is then joined in this live streamed home concert by partner Benjamin Hochman in Schubert's Fantasia in F Minor for piano four-hands. https://www.92y.org/archives/julia-hamos-piano
Tuesday, April 28 (7:30 pm EDT) brings a rebroadcast of violinist Pamela Frank and pianist Stephen Prutsman‘s all-Bach recital, recorded at 92Y in early March. The program comprises five of Bach’s Sonatas for Violin and Keyboard, each work a rich, evocative exploration of the resources of the instruments. The combination of Pamela Frank’s lithe, focused sound with Prutsman’s “earnest and sensitive” playing (The New York Times) ensure an ideal pairing. https://www.92y.org/archives/pamela-frank-violin-stephen-prutsman-piano
Thursday, April 30, 2019 (7:30 pm EDT)
Angela Hewitt's Bach Odyssey will continue with a re-broadcast of her May 2019 recital at 92Y, in which she played all seven of Bach's Toccatas. Says Hewitt, “The seven Toccatas are rarely played all together in one concert but it’s a great experience for the listener to hear how the young Bach showed off not only his touch (the word Toccata comes from the Italian “toccare”– to touch), but also his skill at improvisation." https://www.92y.org/archives/angela-hewitt-piano
As noted, additional streaming concerts are planned; please watch this space for updates.

This superb chorus from Oregon performs ancient religious music authentically. The scholarship puts it in a class by itself. Their recording, Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia, is a Billboard #1 hit. Years ago, I attended the concert and previewed it for Stanford Live, the performing organization of Stanford University.

SXSW 2020 will see the light of day after all, albeit online rather than on the ground in Austin. Many films scheduled to show at the canceled festival will stream for free on the platform over 10 days, likely in late April.

Amazon Prime Video is teaming with the event to launch a so-called film festival collection. Filmmakers who had been scheduled to screen films at the fest were notified Thursday morning and will be able to opt in. Some, who already have distribution with an Amazon rival, will likely choose to forgo the virtual festival. Those who opt in will see their films play exclusively on Prime Video in the U.S. for the 10-day virtual fest, which Amazon will likely launch in late April. The online event will be available in front of the Prime Video paywall and free to U.S. audiences.

Tune via Zoom. No music experience necessary.

Music on the Rebound and the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) present The World Wide Tuning Meditation. Led by IONE, Claire Chase, and Raquel Acevedo Klein.

A sonic gathering with a legacy of bringing communities together through meditative singing. Anyone from anywhere in the world is invited to join in via Zoom to sing together from their personal phone or computer. No music experience is necessary. The last performance on Saturday, April 25 will also be included in Basilica Hudson's 24-HOUR DRONE Sound and Music Festival, moved completely online with web-based programming in place of its previously scheduled weekend.

Oliveros’ The Tuning Meditation consists of four steps:

1. Begin by taking a deep breath and letting it all the way out with air sound. Listen with your mind's ear for a tone.

2. On the next breath using any vowel sound, sing the tone that you have silently perceived on one comfortable breath. Listen to the whole field of sound the group is making.

3. Select a voice distant from you and tune as exactly as possible to the tone you are hearing from that voice. Listen again to the whole field of sound the group is making.

4. Contribute by singing a new tone that no one else is singing. Continue by listening then singing a tone of your own or tuning to the tone of another voice alternately.

Tickets: Free. RSVP Here to receive Zoom call-in information. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/music-on-the-rebound-presents-the-world-wide-tuning-meditation-tickets-100564286488

The Boys of Terezín,” which will be available April 20-26. This 51-minute documentary, produced for MOR by award-winning filmmaker John Sharify, tells the inspiring story of the teenage prisoners who created a secret journal every week for almost two years under the noses of their Nazi captors.

May 4-10: Camp Songs. In a new dramatic realization conceived and directed by Erich Parce, American composer Paul Schoenfield’s setting of defiant words that dissident Polish journalist Alexander Kulisiewicz dared to write as a prisoner in Sachsenhausen, with sarcastic humor and bitter irony that lay bare the fury seething beneath the camp’s terrors.

May 11-17: Veritas. Shinji Eshima’s soulful musical reflection on the tragic consequences of religious intolerance, in a multimedia work incorporating vivid visual images of sculptor Al Farrow’s works from his “Vandalized Doors” series.

May 18-24: For a Look or a Touch. Composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer’s pathbreaking musical drama illuminating the Nazi persecution of homosexuals through the story of two idealistic young men whose lives and love were torn apart under the Third Reich.
