El compositor Vsevolod Zaderatsky (1889-1952) pasará todo el episodio de hoy en los campos de trabajo esclavo del valle del río Kolimá, en Siberia. Allí es donde fue encarcelado poco después de haber recuperado el derecho a voto por su incansable trabajo en pro de la música y la ópera en Yaroslavl. Fue condenado a 10 años sin derecho a correspondencia, algo que equivalía a una condena a muerte, acusado de difundir música fascista. Con la Orquesta de Yaroslavl había hecho un concierto con música de Wagner y de Richard Strauss. En el campo de trabajo esclavo del Sevvolstlag NKVD compuso, escribiendo en impresos de telegramas y sin ningún instrumento en los alrededores, su obra más reconocida, los monumentales 24 Preludios y Fugas para piano, una obra pionera que conectaba la forma barroca predilecta de Johann Sebastian Bach con la música más moderna del siglo XX. Zaderatsky fue el primero en emplear esa forma en la modernidad, adelantándose a músicos tan relevantes como Dimitri Shostakovich o Paul Hindemith. Pese a ello, la obra de nusrtro moderno no influyó en sus colegas porque permaneció silenciada hasta hace menos de 10 años. Zaderatsky consiguió sobrevivir al archipiélago gulag gracias a su habilidad como contador de historias y tras dos años en el campo fue puesto en libertad, pero sin una forma clara de regresar al continnte, que es como llamaban los presos a la Rusia Occidental. De su retorno a Yaroslavl, hablaremos en el próximo capítulo.

Synopsis On this date in 1926, a 19-year old composer and sometime silent film piano accompanist named Dimitri Shostakovich saw his First Symphony performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic. It must have been a heady experience for the young composer, who for the past two years had earned a living of sorts accompanying silent films at various Leningrad cinemas. One evening, while accompanying a film titled Swamp and Water Birds of Sweden, the young composer was so carried away by his own improvisations of bird song that he assumed the catcalls and noisy expressions of disapproval from the audience were directed at the film, not at him. Only afterwards was he told the audience had assumed he must have been drunk. In later years, Shostakovich would tell this story with some pride – at least they had noticed his music! The Leningrad Philharmonic's performance of his Symphony, the first of his orchestral works to be performed in public, was a triumph and established Shostakovich as a major new talent. May 12th was a date Shostakovich would commemorate till the end of his life – if for no other reason than he would never again have to improvise piano accompaniment to cinematic masterworks like Swamp and Water Birds of Sweden.

We delve into the wonderful wide world of Dimitri Shostakovich and his powerhouse Symphony No. 5 (which the TSO plays this weekend!). Also, we welcome the star of the show, Canadian pianist Jon Kimura Parker, who makes his Toledo Symphony debut with one of the most beloved concertos of its kind, the "Tchaik I" - a.k.a. Piotr Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto. And Did You Know? Jon Kimura Parker goes by the nickname "Jackie" when offstage. We'll explore some other well-known "Jackies" in our quiz of the day!

872 días duró el sitio de Leningrado, joya soviética que los nazis asediaron en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Dentro había tres millones de personas. Y uno de ellos era el músico Dimitri Shostakovich, que compuso desde esta, su ciudad natal, su legendaria séptima sinfonía. La pieza se convirtió en un símbolo de la resistencia aliada. Y Stalin se empeñó en conseguir representarla también en Leningrado, donde no había orquesta, ni fuerzas, ni comida ni una semana sin bombardeos. ¿Cómo lo consiguieron? Lo analizan Carlos Alsina, Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares, Sergio del Molino y Nacho Vigalondo, a propósito del libro (ahora traducido al castellano) 'Sinfonía para la ciudad de los muertos'. Además, abundamos en la polémica sobre el intento de censura (políticamente correcta) de las obras de Roald Dahl.

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Christina Malamateniou from City University (London, UK), and Lisa Di Prospero from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (Toronto, Canada). Lisa and Christina are co-guest editors for the December 2022 JMIRS Leadership Special Issue. They talk to EIC Dr. Amanda Bolderston about their personal and professional experiences of leadership, curating the special issue and what they learned along the way. This is followed by three quotes from Sharona Bookbinder, Sandra Kwon and Shaunteque Harris, discussing the qualities of a great leader and their own leadership statements. Along with this podcast, a leadership-themed Spotify playlist was created by soliciting ideas from our readership. We asked contributors to describe why they chose the song, and a few of their responses are below: Unstoppable: Sia. In the face of adversity, I remember can put my armour on, and show how strong I am. Man in the Mirror: Michael Jackson. Real leadership, for me, is when you inspire those around you to become better versions of themselves. We can do this by helping those in need. It all starts from within (introspection). I Won't Back Down: Tom Petty. Sometimes as a leader there are things you need to stand up for. You may have to go about it in different ways - but you don't back down. Both Sides Now, Joni Mitchell. To facilitate effective solutions, leaders must look at all sides of an issue and be flexible with their own positions as new information emerges. Lovely Day: Bill Withers. Every day is a new day with a potential new opportunity. Only the Young: Taylor Swift. I love the concept that our future lies in the hands of the young and that we need to nurture/guide them so that they can in turn, lead us. You Gotta Be: Des'ree. An uplifting and positively inspiring jam about the power of self-confidence and positive affirmations. It is about having the strength to figure out who you want to be (not simply what you want to do). Rise up: Andra Day. This song represents support, teamwork and care as inherent characteristics of good leaders. The melody also gives insight to the emotions and feelings one may experience during highs and lows in the workplace. Stand: Rascal Flatts. The song is about perseverance & strength & not giving up, even when things get hard. The best leaders have been tried & tested. They've walked through fire. If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley. This song was written after the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr and Bobby Kennedy it reminds you to keep striving for the betterment of everything around you. Million to One: Camila Cabello. I played the song before I had a big interview and it inspired me to shine and take the lead in showing others Symphony no.10, movement 2: Dimitri Shostakovich. The dynamics and the musical conflicts within this composition reflect both the inspirational and compassionate role of a leader. The Passenger by Iggy Pop. It reminds me that we are all just "passengers along for the ride of life", that we are all just taking in what happens to us and reminds me to be conscious of other people's experiences and personal situations. We can't know everything about a person's journey through life, so I try to treat everyone without judgment or assumption.

Synopsis On today's date in 1966, the 60th birthday of composer Dimitri Shostakovich was celebrated at the Moscow Conservatory with a gala orchestral concert of his music. Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich gave the premiere performance of Shostakovich's brand-new Second Cello Concerto, and the composer's son, Maxim, conducted his father's youthful Symphony No. 1 from 1926. On the morning of the concert, it was announced that, for his outstanding services in the development of Soviet musical culture, the Central Committee had awarded Shostakovich the title “Hero of Socialist Labor,” along with the Order of Lenin and the gold medal “Hammer and Sickle.” Ironically, earlier that year, Shostakovich had composed a self-deprecating parody piece for voice and piano titled “Preface to the Complete Edition of My Works and a Brief Reflection apropos of This Preface,” whose text included a deadpan recitation of just a small portion of the many honorific titles he had received and the imposing but meaningless official posts with which he had been honored — and now, he found, he had been awarded several more to boot! All that must have seemed grimly comic to Shostakovich, who, some 30th years earlier, had written an opera which had so offended Joseph Stalin that the composer had come perilously close to disappearing without a trace into the Soviet prison system.

Synopsis A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty “Hi-yo, Silver!” Generations of American baby boomers first heard Rossini's “William Tell” Overture as the opening credits of the old Lone Ranger TV western, but we suspect only a few of them ever realized the overture by an Italian composer was written for a French opera about a Swiss archer, which was adapted from a German play by Friedrich Schiller. Like a Facebook relationship, “It's complicated.” Anyway, Rossini's “William Tell” was first heard in Paris on today's date in 1829. Rossini hoped “William Tell” would be considered his masterpiece. Ironically, the complete opera is only rarely staged these days, but the “William Tell” overture became a familiar concert hall showpiece – SO familiar, in fact, as to become something of a musical cliché. The Russian composer Dimitri Shostakovich gave a dark 20th-century spin to Rossini's overly familiar theme, when he quoted the “William Tell” overture in the opening movement of his Symphony No. 15. In the context of Shostakovich's enigmatic final symphony, Rossini's jaunty little theme comes off like a forced smile, and audiences are free to read whatever political subtext they wish into its rather sinister context.

Synopsis The eastern Russian city of Kuibyshev might seem an unlikely site for an important symphonic premiere, but from 1941 to 1943, Kuibyshev was the temporary capital of the Soviet Union. As German and Finnish troops advanced from the west, the Russian government and its cultural institutions moved east. Among the refugees relocated to Kuibyshev were the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra from Moscow and the composer Dimitri Shostakovich from Leningrad. And so, on today's date in 1942, Kuibyshev was the venue for the world premiere of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7, subtitled “Leningrad.” A microfilm copy of the new score was flown to Tehran, then transported by car to Cairo, then flown to Brazil for transfer by the U.S. Navy to New York, where the American premiere was given on July 19, 1942, by the NBC Symphony under Arturo Toscanini. Less than a month later, on August 9, 1942, the “Leningrad” symphony was even performed in the besieged and starving city of Leningrad. The few musicians still capable of performing were given extra rations to keep up their strength, and, to ensure a measure of quiet during their performance, a Russian artillery commander ordered an intensive artillery bombardment on the enemy troops surrounding the city. Music Played in Today's Program Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975) — Symphony No. 7 (Leningrad) (Kirov Orchestra and Rotterdam Philharmonic; Valery Gergiev, cond.) Philips 376-02

In perhaps our most controversial episode to date, we take a look at censorship within the USSR through the lens of Dimitri Shostakovich's long struggle against Stalin's ever-pressing paranoia.  We also take a brief look at the contorted lens through which the West views the history of the USSR and the reality of its culture of censorship and punishment. The intention of this episode is to allow the listener to question whether or not art should be censored, and perhaps more importantly -- whether it can be in the first place. Dimitri Shostakovich's story is deeply fascinating and all too heartbreaking, a stark reminder to our modern-day what happens when we allow ourselves to censor the expression of others.  Reading material mentioned:"Muddle Instead of Music" - Jan 28th, 1936.

“Sounds of the Silenced” uplifts and weaves together voices that have been oppressed – whether by circumstance of history, internal sentiment, or tragedy. Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges was a Black composer from the 18th century. He was quite successful when he was alive, however, given that Mozart and Haydn were among his contemporaries, history did little justice to his prominence. Dimitri Shostakovich's eight-string quartet was dedicated to the victims of fascism and war. This work is at the center of a very complicated puzzle of Shostakovich’s life. Throughout his life it was believed that Shostakovich was a supporter of the Soviet regime, but to everyone’s surprise a revealing and controversial book – ‘Testimony’ (published four years after his passing) – depicts the composer as a closest dissident. This book revealed that this string quartet was instead a biographical work that expressed the most obscure struggles in the life of the composer. Webster Gadbois’ moving piece was inspired by Tahlequah, the Puget Sound J-pod Orca that publicly grieved for 17 days following the passage of her newborn calf. SEVENTEEN DAYS BY WEBSTER GADBOIS INSTRUMENTATION: 8 CELLOS PERFORMED AND RECORDED BY LASZLO MEZO COMPOSER’S NOTES BY WEBSTER GADBOIS In the summer of 2018, the southern J-pod of orcas residing in Washington states’ Puget Sound gave birth to a calf for the first time in years. 30 minutes later, the calf died of malnutrition. The mother, who has been given the name Tahlequah, proceeded to mourn the dead calf by carrying it around with her for the next seventeen days. This level of mourning is unprecedented in orcas, and the story made international headlines. The J-pod’s primary food source is Chinook salmon, which are endangered due to overfishing. This piece’s primary goal is to catalogue the tour of grief that the J-pod experienced throughout this time, with Tahlequah acting as the centerpiece. The central idea presented at the beginning of the piece initially serves as a beacon of hope for the J-pod, as it represents continued life in the face of starvation. As the calf dies, however, this idea becomes warped into a strained cry of grief, as the pod mourns the loss as a collective. As the music becomes more frantic and primal, the central idea becomes more focused on Tahlequah herself, and her refusal to let go of the calf. After a climax of suffering, the pod delivers one last eulogy, as Tahlequah learns to let go of the calf mentally, as well as physically. The piece concludes as the story concludes: with Tahlequah dropping the calf into oblivion as the pod moves on from mourning to mating with other pods. As a postscript to this tragic tale, Tahlequah is a mother again. The Orca and her calf were documented in September 2020 near the San Juan Islands. WEBSTER GADBOIS – COMPOSER Composer and improviser Webster Gadbois has sought to explore creative methods of communicating the impact climate change has had on the planet. This has led him to write music about wild orcas in his hometown of Bainbridge Island, Washington. In addition to environmental motivation, Gadbois’s work centers around collaboration with artists in visual mediums, such as dancers and filmmakers. Holding a Bachelor of Music degree from Rice University and a Master of Music degree from The Juilliard School, he is committed to the creation of work intended to foster a childlike sense of discovery and to increase dialogue around social change.   LASZLO MEZO – CELLO Born in Budapest, Hungary, Laszlo Mezo gained national recognition as one of the top musicians of his generation at the young age of 18. He forged a career as a soloist, recitalist, master teacher, and chamber musician, has performed extensively in Europe, Asia, and North and South America, and is currently a professor in cello at Chapman University and Saddleback College in California. He is a sought after soloist, and an active studio musician in Hollywood, having played in many film scores, including Star Wars, Ice Age, Life of Pi, Wolverine, and The Lone Ranger. His first CD is a recording of Dávid Popper’s works, and his second, “Made in Paris,” includes romantic cello pieces from the 19th century. BAINBRIDGE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA QUARTET PATRICIA STRANGE, FIRST VIOLIN Pat is a performer of traditional and contemporary violin literature and has performed throughout the US and Europe. She received a Bachelor of Music degree from Calif. State University Fullerton and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Calif. San Diego.

She is currently the Concertmaster of the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra, founder and director of Bridges; A String Orchestra and has frequently performed with Ovation! Performing Arts Northwest and BPA’s musical theatre productions. “Being in quarantine as a musician has been difficult. I’ve found it hard to have the motivation to practice alone. I really miss not being able to rehearse in person with my music community here on Bainbridge Island, whether it’s in orchestra, chamber music or musical theater performances. The Bainbridge Pod Accomplice is a wonderful project allowing us to make music again.”   PEGGY BRADY – SECOND VIOLIN Peggy Brady, violinist, studied at the Universität für Musik and darstellende Kunst in Vienna and Arizona State University in the 70’s. She has been a member of the first violin section of the Phoenix Symphony, the violin section of the Göttinger Symphonie Orchester, the Braunschweig Staatsoper Orchestra, Principal Second Violin and Assistant Concertmaster of the Napa Valley Symphony and Principal Second Violin of the Marin Symphony. In 2004 she founded the Eloquence String Quartet and Trio of Napa Valley. The group is now in high demand for weddings and vineyard events throughout Napa and Sonoma. Soon to become a full time resident of Bainbridge Island, Peggy is enjoying a new musical project called “Olympic Serenade” – playing chamber music with other members of the Bainbridge Island Symphony. “A highlight for me during this pandemic has been providing outdoor musical therapy for ourselves, neighbors, and friends. We have been meeting on my large open driveway on Sunday afternoons to play chamber music. The neighbors are invited to come and enjoy the music while they sip a glass of wine. Our conductor Mario has joined us several times on viola. It’s been my favorite part of the summer.”   MARIO ALEJANDRO TORRES – VIOLA Mario Alejandro Torres is a conductor, teacher, and performer native to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Currently based in Seattle, Washington, Mr. Torres made his Benaroya Hall conducting debut in collaboration with Maestros Ludovic Morlot and David Alexander Rahbee in an exciting concert with the University of Washington Symphony Orchestra. For the past two years, he has served in a conducting fellowship with the Seattle Symphony, assisting Maestro Morlot in collaboration with artists such as Hilary Hahn and John Luther Adams. As the former Music Director of Poulsbo Community Orchestra, he brought a new and exciting sound to the ensemble. Outside of the United States, he has conducted performances with the Eddy Snijders Orchestra in Paramaribo, Suriname, and in his hometown with the professional Chamber Orchestra of San Pedro Sula, and Victoriano Lopez School of Music Choir. “Bainbridge Performing Arts has been a very special place to me by virtue of its unique position to highlight and welcome artists, creators, writers, and more – each coming from different backgrounds and perspectives in life. This key diversity nurtures a very special community, as it does our beautiful Bainbridge Island. As Music Director of the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra it has been an incredible pleasure to follow those steps, and that is why I am very excited to present ‘Sounds of the Silence,’ the first October episode of BPA’s Bainbridge Pod Accomplice!”   ARLAYNE ESEMAN – CELLO Arlayne took her first cello lessons from Marcia Treend in 9th grade. A year later, she began studying with Thaddeus Markiewicz, assistant principal cellist with the Detroit Symphony, and continued with him until earning her Masters in Cello Performance. While in college, she performed in some Motown recordings and played in the pickup orchestras for Paul Anka and Sammy Davis (what an entertainer). In 2013, Arlayne retired as a “computer geek” and moved to Bainbridge Island, where she auditioned for the symphony and made many wonderful friends. In 2015, she started playing in local ensembles as well as musicals performed on the island. “It is not uncommon that I am performing up to 12 nights a month. I think that is a pretty good life. During shelter in place, my biggest accomplishment is not killing my husband. Being a basic introvert (yes, really), I enjoy being home. Typically, I play Sudoku, read about WW2 code breakers, and sew for my family or myself. When the weather permits, I take my cello out on my condo deck and play unaccompanied cello for my neighbors. So far, no one is complaining.”

Being in a quartet is like being in a marriage, says Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, violist and founding member of the world renowned award-winning Dover Quartet & our guest for Episode 5 of the So This Is My Why Podcast. Holding dual citizenship in the US and the Netherlands, Milena considers herself to have grown up “a little bit of everywhere” including in Oxford (UK), Baltimore and Jacksonville. Her father taught her the piano before, feeling fed up with the instrument, she chose the violin as her next musical endeavour. An instrument she picked up after hearing a musician busk on the streets of Oxford. At the age of 10 years old, having moved back to Jacksonville by then, she picked up the trombone and also (eagerly!) volunteered to play the viola when her younger brother wanted to form a quartet. We explore all that including a pivotal moment in the summer of 2005, where she met and learned from Michael Klotz, violist of Amernet Quartet & her first viola teacher, at the Bowdoin International Music Festival. A meeting that resulted in her “ sudden immersion in the viola world ”. *Curtis Institute of Music* We also discuss the considerations she had in place when applying for music schools and how she dropped all other applications the moment she got into her dream school - the Curtis Institute of Music! There, she studied with the likes of Michael Tree (of the Guarneri Quartet) & Roberto Diaz (President & CEO of the Curtis Institute of Music). It was also at Curtis that the members of what would be the Dover Quartet came together - not unlike the tentative start of a budding relationship! They bonded so well, one of their teachers, Shmuel Ashkenasi (Vermeer Quartet) asked them, “Have you considered getting married (to each other)?” because you're always together. To which Milena said: We could not have been more giddy than when he said that to us because we had looked up to him so much and he notoriously is one of the most demanding coaches we've ever had. And so to get that kind of encouragement from someone we looked up to… I think that definitely had a huge thing to do with our morale and decision to be kind of brave enough to commit to one another. From there, they decided to show “commitment” to each other by attending the graduate residency program at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music as a quartet. *Realities of Life As a String Quartet Member* The life of a string quartet member is so very unique & some of the things we explore include: * What is your schedule like as a string quartet? How often are you on the road? * What was it like participating in competitions (e.g. Fischoff Competition) and in particular, your memories of those incredible wins at the Banff Competition 2013 which launched the Dover Quartet into the spotlight? * Importance of competitions to the careers of string quartets * Ways of dealing with disagreements between quartet members, particularly in musical interpretations of pieces * Managing personal space while on the road; * Staying in touch with loved ones while on the road * Collaborations with other musicians & how that comes about * Giving live performances versus making studio recordings; * The role of social media & the power of collaborations - e.g. with Avi Avital, Edgar Meyer, Ray Chen, Roomful of Teeth & the Brooklyn Duo; * The Importance of public speaking as a means of connecting with the audience; * Dealing with concert reviews * Giving back to the community through Music For Food ( https://musicforfood.net/index.php/artist/dover-quartet/ ) ; and * “Balancing” a solo career with being in a quartet. *String Instruments* As the instrument itself is so important to a musician, we talk about: * The two violas she plays on & their different purposes * Modern v old instruments - which is better? Does it even matter? * How do you choose your violin? * Are violins with an unknown maker a good investment? * Impact of COVID-19 on her personal life & the life of the Dover Quartet *Role of Parents in a Child's Education* For parents with young kids or those thinking of pursuing music, we also deal with questions on: * Should all children be exposed to music / have music lessons? * How should parents handle children who don't want to practice, especially if they want to just quit after trying it for a short while? * At what age should a child learn a musical instrument? * What should people looking to pursue music think about & do? *Show notes:* https://www.sothisismywhy.com/5/ ** *Official Bio of the Dover Quartet* The phenomenal Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Banff Competition, at which they won every prize. Named the Cleveland Quartet Award-winner, and honored with the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Dover has become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. The Quartet's rise from up-and-coming young ensemble to occupying a spot at the top of their field has been “practically meteoric” ( Strings ). With its burnished warmth, incisive rhythms, and natural phrasing, the Quartet's distinctive sound has helped confirm its status as “the young American string quartet of the moment” ( New Yorker ). The Quartet serves as the quartet-in-residence for the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, Chamber Music Northwest, Artosphere, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival, and Peoples' Symphony in New York, and was recently named the first-ever quartet-in-residence for the Kennedy Center. In 2018-19 the Dover Quartet performs more than a hundred concerts around North America, including performances at the Kennedy Center, San Francisco Performances, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Spivey Hall, Boston's Celebrity Series, the Chamber Music Society of Detroit, and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Dover's season features tours of Hong Kong, Europe, and Australia, collaborations with Emanuel Ax, Inon Barnatan, Peter Serkin, Anthony McGill, and Roomful of Teeth, and premieres of new works by Caroline Shaw and Matan Porat. The Quartet was thrilled to be invited by the maverick filmmaker and cultural icon David Lynch to be featured at his Los Angeles Festival of Disruption. Cedille Records released the Quartet's sophomore album, entitled Voices of Defiance: 1943, 1944, 1945 in October 2017. The recording takes listeners on a powerful journey through works written during World War II by Viktor Ullmann, Dimitri Shostakovich, and Simon Laks. The 2016-17 season saw the release of its all-Mozart debut recording on the Cedille label, a nod to the 1965 debut album of the Guarneri Quartet, whose founding violist, the late Michael Tree, joined the Dover Quartet on the recording. In addition, the group has participated in three complete Beethoven quartet cycles, including the University at Buffalo's famous “Slee Cycle” – which has presented annual Beethoven quartet cycles since 1955 and has featured the likes of the Budapest, Guarneri, and Cleveland Quartets – and will record the cycle over the next three seasons. The group's world-class collaborators have included pianists Anne-Marie McDermott, Emanuel Ax, Marc-André Hamelin, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Peter Serkin, and Jon Kimura Parker; violists Roberto Díaz and Cynthia Phelps; bassist Edgar Meyer; and the Pacifica and Escher Quartets. In the spring of 2016, the Dover Quartet was recognized with the Hunt Family Award, one of the inaugural Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Awards, and in past years has taken top prizes at the Fischoff Competition and the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. All four Quartet members are consummate solo artists: first violinist Joel Link took first prize at the Menuhin Competition; violinist Bryan Lee and violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt have appeared as soloists with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Tokyo Philharmonic, respectively; and cellist Camden Shaw released a solo album debut on the Unipheye Music label. As Strad observes, “With their exceptional interpretative maturity, tonal refinement, and taut ensemble,” the Dover Quartet is “pulling away from their peers.” Hailed as “the next Guarneri Quartet” ( Chicago Tribune ), the Dover Quartet draws from the lineage of that distinguished ensemble, as well that of the Cleveland and Vermeer Quartets; its members studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and Rice University's Shepherd School of Music, where they were mentored extensively by Shmuel Ashkenasi, James Dunham, Norman Fischer, Kenneth Goldsmith, Joseph Silverstein, Arnold Steinhardt, Michael Tree, and Peter Wiley. It was at Curtis that the Quartet first formed, and its name pays tribute to Dover Beach by fellow Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber. The group has since returned for residencies to Rice in 2011-13, and to Curtis, where it became the conservatory's first Quartet-in-Residence, in 2013-14. In addition, in 2015 the Dover was appointed the first Resident Ensemble of Peoples' Symphony Concerts in the 116-year history of New York City's oldest concert series. The Dover Quartet is dedicated to sharing its music with under-served communities and is actively involved with Music for Food, an initiative enabling musicians to raise resources and awareness in the fight against hunger. The Dover Quartet plays on the following instruments: *Joel Link* : Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, Paris circa 1857, on loan by Desirée Ruhstrat *Bryan Lee* : Riccardo Antoniazzi, Milan 1904 *Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt* : Michele Deconet, Venice, 1780, the ‘Kroyt,' generously on loan from the grandson of Boris Kroyt of the Budapest Quartet *Camden Shaw:* Frank Ravatin, France, 2010

On this date in 1926, a 19-year old composer and sometime silent film piano accompanist named Dimitri Shostakovich saw his First Symphony performed in style by the Leningrad Philharmonic. It must have been a heady experience for the young composer, who for the past two years had earned a living of sorts accompanying silent films at various Leningrad cinemas. One evening, while accompanying a film titled "Swamp and Water Birds of Sweden," the young composer was so carried away by his own improvisations of bird song that he assumed the catcalls and noisy expressions of disapproval from the audience were directed at the film, not at him. Only afterwards was he told the audience had assumed he must have been drunk. In later years, Shostakovich would tell this story with some pride—at least they had noticed his music! The Leningrad Philharmonic's performance of his Symphony, the first of his orchestral works to be performed in public, was a triumph and established Shostakovich as a major new talent. Shostakovich's teacher, Maximillian Steinberg wrote that at rehearsals, Shostakovich was: "in such indescribable raptures from hearing his own music that I found it hard to restrain him from an unbridled display of his feelings." May 12th was a date Shostakovich would commemorate till the end of his life—if for no other reason than he would never again have to improvise piano accompaniment to cinematic masterworks like "Swamp and Water Birds of Sweden."

The Intimate Music Series will be performing its eighth concert of chamber music at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church at 7pm on Sunday, March 20th. The five instrumentalists call the evening: “String Quartet + One”. Tickets are available at the door. They will play a program including Francois Couperin, Dimitri Shostakovich, Malcolm Forsyth, and Claude Debussy, all for string quartets except for the quintet by Forsyth. This concert will differ a bit from previous concerts that often had a variety of genres in addition to classical. This time, the concert will feature the “Beau” string quartet plus Jonathan Green on bass. In this fascinating 13-minute podcast interview with series coordinator Amy Duerr-Day and Seattle Symphony violinist Stephen Bryant, we learn something of the history of string quartets originating with Haydn, then Beethoven and Mozart , and subsequently proliferating. Chamber music, originally performed mostly in elegant homes as after-dinner entertainment in Europe, has widely become a delightful way to appreciate music written for and played by a small number of instruments, often strings. Playing chamber music requires special skills different from those required for solos or symphonic works. Often, chamber music musicians play for the sheer enjoyment of the music, and want to share the lovely music with others. This is very true of the Beau Quartet, a group of professional musicians, who generously share their love of chamber music with music lovers on Bainbridge Island. The Beau Quartet features distinguished professional musicians: Stephen Bryant (violin); Rachel Pearson (violin); Sue Jane Bryant (viola); and Joy Payton (cello).Plus one: Jonathan Green (bass). This podcast includes a musical interlude: a 90-second segment of the Shostakovich piece that Stephen Bryant and Joy Payton performed for prison inmates when they voluntarily brought their music to two Puget Sound area prisons. The fifth instrumentalist on March 20th is Jonathan Green. He joined the Seattle Symphony as Assistant Principal Bass in 1998. Jonathan says: “The life of a symphony musician is very busy. A regular week will often have three concerts, four rehearsals and a recording session. When you add in other gigs, driving to soccer practices, gymnastics and horseback riding lessons, walking the dog, cooking and practicing, there isn't much time left in the day. In my world, my family comes first, my job comes second, and my personal pursuits come third.” He adds: “When we started our family, my wife Brenda and I made an agreement that we would take no outside responsibilities until the youngest of our three children made it to elementary school. When our son Mason, now 11, was in the 2nd grade, I figured I was ready to become more active in my community on Bainbridge Island. The question was, where should I put my energies: from the arts to education, social services to the environment, there was no shortage of non-profit organizations that needed volunteers. That's when I got a call from a friend asking me to join the board of One Call for All, a Bainbridge Island non-profit organization that, for more than fifty years, has raised money for more than 80 other non-profit agencies that serve our island community. At One Call I found the answer to my question; instead of choosing one organization for which to volunteer, I chose one that helped lots of organizations.” Jonathan continues: “I've met scores of people committed to making our community a better place by maintaining parks, supporting farms, helping senior citizens and providing services for troubled teenagers. The passion of these volunteers is contagious.” Next year will be Jonathan's 5th year on the board, and his 2nd year as president.
