Doyle Armbrust is a violist, writer, and also works as a sort of career counselor for musicians and ensembles. He was the founding violist with the Spektral Quartet. We played my arrangement of La Forqueray by Jacques Duphly. It's in Volume 2 of French Duos for violin and viola available at Bachfor2.com. Recorded in Skokie, IL, USA. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/martin-davids/support

durée : 00:12:27 - Le disque contemporain de la semaine - Vous souvenez-vous, dans la brume d'un demi-sommeil, d'avoir vu quelque chose ou quelqu'un dans votre chambre ? Ce faible halo de lumière, entourant cet objet maintenant inoffensif, c'est la pénombre - cette frontière entre la lumière et l'obscurité. C'est l'espace où vit Enigma.

durée : 00:59:43 - En pistes, contemporains ! - par : Emilie Munera - Cette semaine, place au clair-obscur avec le dernier album du Spektral Quartet consacré au premier quatuor à cordes de la compositrice islandaise Anna Thorvaldsdottir. Nous rendons également hommage au compositeur Harrison Birtwistle qui nous a quittés dimanche dernier. - réalisé par : Céline Parfenoff

A new concert experience at the Adler Planetarium features a hypnotic collision of film and music performed by the Grammy-nominated Spektral Quartet. Reset talks to the group's violinist for more on what visitors can expect at the world premiere of Enigma, which runs April 7-8.

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek previews a unique concert experience featuring the award-winning string ensemble, Spektral Quartet at the Adler Planetarium. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, stop by to talk about the world premiere of Rivendell Theatre's SPAY. Later, Gary talks to the director of an uplifting new documentary about a European soccer team that defied the odds. And Gary catches up with WDCB & THOSE WERE THE DAYS host Steve Darnall to talk about the Golden age of radio and program's upcoming 50th anniversary celebration.

Today, it's Midday on the Arts.  A little later this hour, we'll check in with a playwright from Baltimore, R. Eric Thomas, who will premiere two new plays at two different theaters here in Baltimore this spring. Both Baltimore Center Stage and the Everyman Theater will be featuring his newest work. But first, Tom welcomes to the show an extraordinary, Grammy Award-nominated musical artist, Nathalie Joachim. She's a Haitian American flutist, composer and singer, and she'll be in Baltimore this Sunday afternoon performing a work that draws inspiration from her Haitian heritage, and other great Haitian women artists. It's called Fanm d'Ayiti, which means “Women of Haiti.” To hear a selection from the work, "Papa Loko (Interlude, September 24, 1918)," click here. Nathalie Joachim joins us on Zoom from Chicago. _______________________________________ Natalie performs Fanm D-Ayitiwith acclaimed string ensemble Spektral Quartet this Sunday, March 20th at 3:30pm, at Second Presbyterian Church, 4200 St. Paul St, Baltimore, MD 21218. It's part of the church's Community Concerts at Secondseries, presentedin partnership with Komite D'Ayiti. To register for this free event (and the LIVESTREAM), click here.

Paper Mice is a three-piece whirligig from Chicago that blends a freakish range of influences into miniature, prog-punk puzzles. Started in 2008 by Dave Reminick, Adam McCormack, and John Carroll, Taylor Hales took over for Adam on bass duties in 2013, and the band has been writing and performing together since that time. The band is a fixture in Chicago’s tight-knit DIY community, performing their high-wire “stop-start mess of rhythmic tics and awkward face plants” for dance-soaked warehouse hounds throughout the Midwest and East Coast. Over the years, they’ve toured and/or performed with musical peers Pinback, NNAMDI, Meat Wave, Melkbelly, Oozing Wound, and The Spektral Quartet, amongst others. Influences include The Beach Boys, The Residents, Abba, The Talking Heads, Nomeansno, This Heat, and Susana Baca. Paper Mice’s first album, Paint it Pink, featured sixteen short, spastic songs about bizarre news stories, botched surgeries, and hirsute politicians. The follow-up, The Funny Papers (also on Three One G Records), continued the band’s jagged jaunt through the world of current events with eleven tracks about canine heroes, fast-food, financial meltdowns, and Dolly Parton. 1-800-Mondays follows in this quirky tradition, with every song being about weird and ridiculous true stories from the news-- in particular, this album often focuses on fire (mainly, people setting things on fire accidentally/on purpose). Channeling The Residents’ strange conceptual brilliance, The Beach Boys’ pop sensibilities, and expertly arranged musical complexity throughout, the band also enlists Grammy-nominated Spektral Quartet, Mike Hogg, and Ben Roidl-Ward as guest appearances on the album. Though the LP has been in the works for almost a decade now due to various roadblocks, surely, the timing is apt for this ode to the absurd, as we seem to be in something of a golden age of insanity when it comes to headlines.

In today's episode of Sound Off I talk with composer, singer and instrumentalist Nathalie Joachim. She's a Julliard-trained flutist, half of the flute & electronics duo Flutronix and creator of the Grammy-nominated Fanm d’Ayiti featuring the Spektral Quartet, an album described by WNYC’s New Sounds host John Schaefer as "a kind of chamber folk electronic celebration of the voices of Haiti.” Learn about how a listening station at Tower Records informs her unclassifiable sounds as much as both her conservatory training and her Haitian grandmother have, as well as spend time with some of her music.

Hear some of the best performances from the Soundcheck Podcast series from 2019, including spacey folky confessional electro-pop by Helado Negro and new hooky pop from British guitar band Bombay Bicycle Club. Also, hear joyous folklore-infused electro-chamber music using Haitian women's voices, flute, and strings, from Nathalie Joachim & Spektral Quartet. Listen to “Worthy,” a mostly acoustic, yet powerful assurance from Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/producer India.Arie. Plus, sweaty cosmic funky arena dance jazz by London trio The Comet Is Coming.   

Haitian-American composer Nathalie Joachim is the co-artistic director and flutist of the Grammy-winning contemporary chamber ensemble Eighth Blackbird, and one half of the art-pop duo, Flutronix. She's worked with Bryce Dessner, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Richard Reed Parry, Miguel Zenón, and the International Contemporary Ensemble as well. Her latest, with Chicago-based string ensemble Spektral Quartet, is "Fanm d’Ayiti" (Women of Haiti), a joyous and magic-infused work celebrating Haitian song, and how women are "the driving force of life, of politics, and social change." (Joachim, in an interview with I Care If You Listen.) Joachim and the quartet play some of "Fanm d’Ayiti," in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Watch the session here:

Aquello que te mueve, es danza. Esa es la filosofía de dos músicos que se reúnen por primera vez como dúo: el pianista cubano Aruán Ortiz y el clarinetista estadounidense Don Byron. En "Random Dances & (A)Tonalities" entran y salen de la tonalidad, "a la que siempre volvemos", dice Ortiz. Un trabajo de originales y versiones de Mompou o guiños a Tete Montoliu con el que abrimos esta edición de 'Club de Jazz' del 30 de noviembre de 2018. Bajo el nombre de Lurpekariak se esconde un sexteto (o doble trío) liderado por el trompetista Ion Celestino que trabaja junto a Nerea Erbiti (voz), Ander García (contrabajo), Javier Callén (contrabajo), Daniel Lizarraga (batería) e Israel Tubilleja (batería) en la exploración de la tradición folclórica vasca a través del lenguaje de la improvisación. Su primer trabajo lleva por título "Itsasotik Iturrira". De tradición sabe mucho el saxofonista puertorriqueño Miguel Zenón que junto al cuarteto de cuerda Spektral Quartet, de Chicago, crea música a partir de elementos folclóricos para "Yo soy la tradición". Un trabajo que se aleja del patrón solista con acompañamiento para fundir y jugar con las dinámicas del lenguaje para grupo de cámara. Toda la información y derechos: http://www.elclubdejazz.com

Por Pachi Tapiz. Varias tradiciones se unen en la entrega 475 de HDO. Por ejemplo, la de las músicas tradicionales que sirven para alimentar Elusive Beauty (Connector Records), del pianista Sebastian Schunke y el baterista Diego Pinera; o la música de Puerto Rico en Yo soy la tradición (miel music) de Miguel Zenón acompañado por el Spektral Quartet. Tradicional es también el volver sobre los standards, que es lo que hace en gran parte de su grabación el pianista Hubert Nuss en Standards And Other Stories (Pirouet), magníficamente acompañado por John Goldsby y John Riley. También es habitual volver la vista, la vida, las idas hacia Nueva York, tal y como ha hecho el saxofonista soprano Stephanie Spira en su grabación New Playground (JazzMax).

What happens when the composer that you've commissioned to write a new opera says to you, "Sit down -- I have something to tell you," and that something is that she's fallen in love... with a beatbox artist? The first Opera for All Voices (OFAV) commission, Sweet Potato Kicks the Sun, is scheduled to premiere in the Fall of 2019 and this episode is a very early look at the creative process of Grammy Award winning composer, Augusta Read Thomas. We get a deep dive into how she "sculpts sound" to create magic, and how collaboration is such a crucial element in the way she composes new work. The collaboration gets even livelier as we meet renowned beat-box artist, founder of Drop The Beats, and actor Nicole Paris, who plays an integral role in the original soundscaping of this new opera. Listen in and fall in love for yourself. *** Special music in this episode used with permission by Augusta Read Thomas. Helix Spirals for String Quartet: Mvt. I. Loci, memory palace.

Spektral Quartet’s Doyle Armbrust talks about propelling the string quartet into new realms–from your mobile phone’s ringtone to the concert hall–before introducing the kinetic and engrossing Arcadiana for string quartet by on of Britain's most celebrated composers Thomas Adès.

Program: Robert Schumann: Adagio and Allegro, op.70 Arvo Part: Fratres Luigi Boccherini (arr. Katims): Sonata No. 6 in A Major, G4 Robert Schumann: Märchenbilder, Op.113 Henri Vieuxtemps: Élégie, Op.30 Aurelien Pederzoli, viola Chicago-based violist Aurelian Pederzoli trained from a young age on the violin and his talent and skill earned him wide acclaim from critics and the public alike. But something was missing. Artistic frustrations with the violin led him to pick up the viola and, to his surprise, his authentic musical voice emerged. “The sonority of the viola just seems to resonate with the fibers of my being,” Pederzoli says, “and I love the viola’s repertoire and the very communal role it plays in ensembles.”  A finalist in the 2015 International Hugo Kauder Competition for Viola at Yale University, Pederzoli merges a deep reservoir of  musicality with wide-eyed curiosity about his instrument as a soloist and chamber ensemble player, and as a teacher at the New Music School in Chicago. He is a member of the innovative Black Oak Ensemble which pairs classical works with music from around the world, a frequent collaborator with the Lincoln Trio, and he has toured internationally with blues harmonica virtuoso Corky Siegel. A deft collaborator, Pederzoli works with other musicians of many stripes, including members of eighth black bird, bassist Matt Ulery, composer/pianist Fernando Otero, members of the Vermeer Quartet, pianist H.J Lim, accordionist Julien Labro, violinist Rachel Kolly d'Alba, pianist Christian Chamorel, violinist Daniel Rowland, violist David Aaron Carpenter, and composer/saxophonist Miguel Zenon. He also works with many of the leading composers of our time, Recent project have included Lee Hyla, Hans Thomalla, Gunter Schuller, and Robert Dillon, and he has premiered and recorded works by Augusta Read Thomas, Bernard Rands, Mason Bates,  Shulamit Ran, Sarah Ritch, Jennifer Higdon, Marc Mellitts, Nico Muhly and others. Aurelian Pederzoli was born in France and graduated from the Paris Conservatory before moving to Chicago. He studies viola with Frank Babbitt and Li Kuo Chang. His violin teachers included Jean Lenert, Shmuel Ashkenasi, and Veda Reynolds. In 2008, Pederzoli cofounded Anaphora Ensemble to explore and present adventurous music in Chicago. Pederzoli was a founding member of the Spektral Quartet in 2010 and played with the ensemble until 2014. His work appears on recordings from Azica, Parlour Tapes+, Cedille, Southport, and Aparte labels. A new string trio recording with Desirée Ruhstrat, violin, and David Cunliffe, cello, of music by Conrad Tao, Jennifer Higdon, David Ludwig, and Marc Mellits, is forthcoming in 2016.   Matthew Hagle, piano Pianist Matthew Hagle is a musician of great versatility and depth, whose performances are a rare mixture of musical understanding, imaginative programming, pianistic mastery and beauty of sound. In solo recitals he often explores the boundaries of the piano repertoire, using thoughtful programming and committed performance to integrate newer repertoire and lesser-known older works with the traditional canon. At the moment, he is working on a more conventional project: performing the 32 Beethoven Sonatas in a series of live radio recitals. Mr.
