Including in her ten years of music education, Elif also included 3 years of singing. Then, at the age of 17, after performing at the honor's recital at the New School of Music, Elif's life took a drastic turn resulting in her inability to continue playing piano. It was only during the covid pandemic that Elif made the decision to return to playing piano after continuous “pulls” from her soul. Currently, Elif studies under the care of the Music Director of the First Congregational Church of Madison, in Connecticut.

SynopsisAs far as anniversary gifts go, the one Dutch conductor Willem Mengelberg received in 1920 was pretty spectacular. To celebrate his 25th year as Music Director of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, they staged a special month-long festival in honor of one of Mengelberg's favorite composers — Gustav Mahler, the Austrian composer of monumental symphonies, who had, in fact, conducted the Concertgebouw several times before his untimely death at 50 in 1911.Mahler was the conductor Mengelberg admired most, and Mengelberg and his orchestra were ardent champions of Mahler's symphonies, too: their 1920 festival performed all nine of them over the course of two weeks that May. Mahler's widow Alma was in attendance, as were his younger Austrian contemporaries Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern, Danish composer Carl Nielsen and a young British conductor and Mahler fan named Adrian Boult, who reported on the festival for a British newspaper back home.In 1995, the Concertgebouw staged another Mahler Festival on the 75th anniversary of the 1920 one, this time inviting the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic to participate. A hundredth-anniversary festival was planned for May 2020, but the COVID pandemic forced that Mahler cycle to be postponed until May 2025. Good things come to all who wait.Music Played in Today's ProgramGustav Mahler (1860-1911): Symphony No. 1 (Titan); Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; Riccardo Chailly, conductor; London/Decca 448813

This is a continuation of my new series where I learn about a new piece from a great friend/musician. This week I'm thrilled to welcome Case Scaglione, the Music Director of the Orchestre National D'Ile de France, for a discussion of the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde. This is one of the most beloved pieces in the entire repertoire, and my longtime skepticism of Wagner has always kept me away. But Case has such a beautiful way of talking about Wagner that I might very well be convinced to give it another shot! This is a really fun and also philosophical episode - I hope you enjoy it! https://open.spotify.com/track/3HcRU6WhAZ6ZON9tFhanJv?si=4cf47cfde06a4434 https://open.spotify.com/track/7AtzmeOGG4PdXcfoVklSo1?si=69034a5a52704929

In this episode of The Piano Pod, we are joined by composer, conductor, & Music Director at Univeristy of Cologne, Michael OstrzygaHis work spans composition, conducting, editorial scholarship, and large-scale projects — but this conversation centers on his piano writing, especially his recent solo album Perseus.Together, we explore how music begins — whether from structure, memory, or sound itself — and how these ideas shape a body of work that moves between tradition and exploration. We also discuss his pedagogical work Der singende Wind, his early musical formation, and his recent arrangement of Beethoven's Mass in C for four-hand piano and harmonium, commissioned by the Harvard Choruses.This episode offers a deeper look into the relationship between structure and intuition, and how personal experience finds its way into music.

“I didn't want conducting to be only about telling people what to do and they respond. I've been in situations like that, and it's sometimes very effective, but it wasn't something that I felt I could ever do naturally. I can bring my full artistry to something even when everyone else in the room is attempting to bring their full artistry. We get their imaginations and their color spectrum. If they're just fitting into my ideas only, it's a one-dimensional kind of experience.”Acclaimed for crafting thought-provoking musical journeys that create deep connections between performers and listeners, Craig Hella Johnson is the founding artistic director and conductor of Conspirare, a GRAMMY®-winning choir and nonprofit performing arts and music education organization that believes in the power of music to change lives, inspire peace, and foster belonging.

Goldylocks Productions presents Musical Life with Elif AhmadElif Ahmad studied classical piano starting at an early age at the New School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts, along with one year of duet at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Including in her ten years of music education, Elif also included 3 years of singing. Then, at the age of 17, after performing at the honor's recital at the New School of Music, Elif's life took a drastic turn resulting in her inability to continue playing piano. It was only during the covid pandemic that Elif made the decision to return to playing piano after continuous “pulls” from her soul. Currently, Elif studies under the care of the Music Director of the First Congregational Church of Madison, in Connecticut. Elif is also a Reiki Master Teacher and has incorporated Sound Healing into her Reiki Sessions, using tuning forks, and Tibetan Bowls to help people with their own healing. https://www.facebook.com/musicalLife2025 Goldylocks Productions: http://www.goldylocksproductions.com Receive links and updates for our Shows, Special Events and Sales!

We visited the Bellevue Little Theatre during their rehearsal for "Fiddler on the Roof" and spoke with Stage Director, Laureen Pickle; Music Director, Meg Latta; and the Actor who is playing Tevye, Dave Campbell to talk about this fun musical production!  With a cast of 32 people, this production will be sure to fill this little theatre with music and the range of emotions.  Laureen Pickle has taken great care to make this production as authentic and exact as possible, and you'll want to hear all about it! Fiddler on the Roof is a classic 1964 Broadway musical and 1971 film set in 1905 czarist Russia, focusing on Tevye, a poor Jewish dairyman in the village of Anatevka struggling to maintain his religious traditions amid changing times and rising anti-semitism. The story follows Tevye as he navigates the, often romantic, marital choices of his three eldest daughters, who defy tradition, while his community faces forced expulsion.

Episode 100: Miguel Gandelman. This man is the Musical Director behind Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show, one of the biggest and most complex live television performances in the world. Miguel Gandelman aka "Miga" is a Berklee graduate and longtime force in live TV and touring. He has worked with some of the biggest artists on the planet including Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Usher, Shakira, Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, Jonat Brothers, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Babyface, John Mayer, Aretha Franklin, served as Music Director for The Masked Singer, and was a member of The Tonight Show Band with Rickey Minor. In this episode, he breaks down how the Super Bowl Halftime Show was built from the ground up in just one month. From getting the call to stepping onto the biggest stage in entertainment, we talk about how you prepare a 15 minute performance seen by over 100 million people. What goes into building a show at that level? What does music direction actually mean on a production of this scale? We discuss arranging for stadiums, working with an artist who had never used a musical director before, leading world class musicians, handling live TV pressure, and translating an artist's vision into a global moment. We also dive into his journey from growing up in a musical family in Brazil to becoming one of the most trusted Musical Directors in the industry, and the mindset required to operate at the highest level of live performance. If you have ever wondered how massive live shows and television actually come together, this conversation is a masterclass.
