Theatre Dance Classical Comedy ... Art Classical UT OPERA THEATRE: OPERA SCENES This division of UT's College of Fine Arts focuses on the singular vocal and performance demands of opera, developing new artists for the field through recitals and impressive, full-scale productions. For the conclusion of the fall semester, director Robert DeSimone tests his students' abilities through a program of scenes, and this time they're all drawn from the work of one of the form's true geniuses, the incomparable W.A. Mozart. An Evening of Mozart draws from some of the composer's masterworks, including Cosi Fan Tutti Don Giovanni , and The Marriage of Figaro . It's a challenge for the students but a delight for the audience. Opera is seldom more fun than this. TWO PERFORMANCES ONLY! Dec 3-4, Thu- Fri, 8pm, at B. Iden Payne Theatre, UT campus. 471-1444. UT SCHOOL OF MUSIC This division of UT's College of Fine Arts offers an exceptional schedule of performances throughout the year, with music to suit every taste, from early music to jazz to experimental sound collages, in recitals and concerts by students, faculty members, and guest artists. Most of its presentations get little attention, but that's no reflection of the quality of the work; there are outstanding sounds to be caught here, some of which you won't find anywhere else in town. This week: Chuck Enlow, piano

Feature Article Interview: Pianist Awadagin Pratt May, 2003 Jason V. Serinus EMI recording artist Awadagin Pratt, 37, is a rare phenomenon a multi-talented musician and conductor whose race, casual appearance, dreadlocks, and first name Awadagin (pronounced ah-wah-DAH-jin, named for a friend of his father’s who was born in Sierra Leone) attract as much attention as his considerable artistry. To Pratt, however, race is almost beside the point. While he well understands that the paucity of African-American concert artists is a subject deserving attention, and has experienced his unfair share of housing discrimination and police harassment (including an unjustified night in the Baltimore jail, which ended when the administration at Peabody Institute where he was a student contacted the State Attorney’s Office and demanded his release), he considers his race and appearance ancillary to his musicianship. I conducted a series of phone and e-mail exchanges with Pratt shortly before he gave a March 2003 performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37 with the Hartford Symphony. This was followed by an April 3 stint as both conductor and pianist with the New Mexico Symphony.

The latest news in classical music. 4 October 2001 PENNSYLVANIA HONORS THE ARTS Philadelphia Orchestra music director Wolfgang Sawallisch received an award Philadelphia Orchestra music director Wolfgang Sawallisch and pianist Leon Bates received awards from outgoing Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge at the annual Governor’s Awards of the Arts. "This year's winners have made outstanding contributions to Pennsylvania's arts legacy," Gov. Ridge said. "Each has his or her own distinct talents, but together they represent what continues to be one of the finest arts communities in the world right here in Pennsylvania." The crowd at the Allentown Symphony Hall were treated to a performance by Bates and 19-year old Curtis Institute-trained pianist Lang Lang. Bates is a native of Philadelphia. Since winning the Philadelphia Orchestra Senior Auditions as a student more than 20 years ago, Bates has emerged as one of America's leading pianists. Although he has performed a dozen times with orchestras in Carnegie Hall, he made his Carnegie Hall recital debut in 2000-01. Also receiving awards were WHYY radio and its president/CEO William J. Marrazzo. The public radio station is famous for producing Fresh Air with Terry Gross. The station’s latest initiative, "Philadelphia Performs!" came from an investigation of ways to collaborate with institutions across the Delaware Valley.

In this second part of our "Piano Special", La Scena Musicale focuses on our Canadian pianists. We asked music critics and other experts in the field to share their thoughts about favourites. Worth discovering! Travel through time By Arthur Kaptainis (music critic, The Gazette, Montreal) Past: Were there pianists of substance before Glenn Gould? The discography is silent on this subject. There were some prodigies­Ellen Ballon in Montreal and Mona Bates in Toronto­who turned into patrons or pedagogues. André Mathieu, alas, became a drunk. It is interesting to note that the multi talented Sir Ernest MacMillan, who trained as an organist and busied himself mainly as a conductor, visited Rudolf Serkin in Vermont and was told by the master that he played piano "like a very good pianist who hasn't kept up his practice." Still, Gould is obviously in a league of his own. I like his interpretations of Scriabin, which sound emotionally spontaneous as well as brilliant in the usual Gould ways.
