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.

Extractions: 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 fathers 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 Attorneys 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 Beethovens 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.

Canadian Pianists Ellen Ballon in Montreal and Mona bates in Toronto Goode, to name one American pianistof considerable of mediocrity is constantly rising, leon Fleisher once http://www.scena.org/lsm/sm5-6/CanadianPianists-en.htm
Extractions: (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.
