Extractions: Home Page About Us Concert Schedule How to buy tickets ... Ticket Order Information To increase the artistic exchange between the North European and American new music communities, the Seattle Chamber Players presents a collaborative festival with noted musicians from countries that surround the Baltic Sea. As part of our concert season in a festival format (three concerts in three days), the ensemble will be giving programs of music by living composers from Baltic countries: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden. Artistic Advisor to the Seattle Chamber Players and curator of Icebreaker II is musicologist and music producer Dr. Elena Dubinets, who has co-organized several highly-acclaimed contemporary music festivals and conferences in different countries, including the Seattle Chamber Players Icebreaker: New Voices from Russia festival of contemporary Russian music in 2002. The project has two key components. First, the Seattle Chamber Players will perform music of contemporary composers from all nine countries of the Baltic Sea region; and second, the festival will involve an educational component: a musicological symposium on Baltic music of today. Each of the Baltic Sea countries will send its representatives to the festival. Leading musicologists from these countries will give one-hour presentations about the contemporary music scenes of their countries, and the composers will present their own music in additional one-hour seminars.

The Space... Of Carlos Tavares! Don Tillman is in charge of guitarkeyboard-vocal-cymbal duties, karen bentley fiercelyrocks Interesting note karen is the session violinist featured on http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/9815/cttesseract.htm
Extractions: Independently distributed by Tesseract (TCD-001) Tesseract is a US quintet from the west coast. They perform progressive art rock with a confortable mixture of folk and classical music, analog goodies, amidst much experimenting. Don Tillman is in charge of guitar-keyboard-vocal-cymbal duties, Karen Bentley fiercely rocks her violin, Julius Smith smartly models all sort of instruments with his synths and plays guitar, while the rhythm section is constituted by Dave Berners on bass and Josh Schroeter on drums and percussion. Interesting note: Karen is the session violinist featured on Camels recent HARBOUR OF TEARS. The albums opener is an experimental scary little thing played on a synthesizer. The first "real track" is subtly entitled HEISENBERGS DAUGHTER; ah! the uncertainty principle It is clearly reminiscent of early Kansas, especially due to Karens contribution which is quite appealing. A hint of Gentle Giant and ELP surfaces. The Mellotron and Memory moog also make a prominent appearance. Next up is an 11 minute epic: CAST OF THOUSANDS. It progresses via 4 different phases all cooked up and ready to go. Tesseract describe its recipe as "If you think of your life as a play, the cast would be acting out the parts of all the folks you meet along the way". Various wind instruments are modelled by a synth. ALLEGRO ASSAI is part of a classical Bach violin concerto in A minor thats brilliantly arranged and performed by Tesseract. Theres an interesting duel between Bentleys organic violin and Julius modelled one. RICE is heavily keyboard orientated by the different arrangements it possesses. Be it classical piano segments, Rhodes Chroma or synths, its intelligently textured. The violin provides further enhancement. Track 6, is another experimental piece thats layered solely by eight tracks (!!) of cymbals. Not my cup of tea. The last tune, VANTAGE POINT, is an instrumental. This piece is part of a mini rock opera that never saw the light of day.

Extractions: NEWS STORY Wallace Leung The Helikon Ensemble is the most recent group jockeying for position on the Vancouver new music scene. Although new, the ensemble brings over 50 years of collective professional experience to "Time Resounding," their March 17 concert at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. Little did Helikon know when planning this concert last fall, it would be a tribute to founding conductor Wallace Leung, who died from viral encephalitis in January. Leung was a strong guiding force behind the fledgling ensemble, formed in 1999 although its individual members met well before that. "It all began back in '94," says clarinetist Karen Noel-Bentley, one of the original members. "That was when several of our founding members played Peter Maxwell Davies' 'Eight Songs for a Mad King' under Wallace Leung. We worked really well together and at that time, there was no ensemble in town like that." And so the Helikon Ensemble was formed, deriving its name from Mount Helicon, the ancient Grecian home of the Muses. But with a "k"? "It's there just because Wallace wanted to have a 'k' in the name," says Noel-Bentley. "He liked the way it looked."

Extractions: The Master Plan How to survive planning a wedding By Kandace Power Graves Trying to plan a wedding by oneself has been known to break the spirits of even the heartiest of love warriors, and the anxiety and tension can spark family rifts that take ages to repair. Many of today's bridal couples find it advantageous to seek professional help for some or all of the planning, allowing them to totally enjoy their special day. Complete wedding and events planners are happy to arrange the ceremony, guest accommodations, special parties and the wedding reception on request, relieving the bridal couple and both families of potential headaches. Their experience means they remember all the millions of details that people who do it only once (i.e. the bride and groom) might not even be aware are necessary. "A lot of brides really don't know what a professional wedding consultant can do to help them," says Anthony Lala Jr. (908-4804; www.anthonylalaconsultant.com

Extractions: By John Foxworthy When you think of the most marketable styles of todays music what comes to mind? Rock, Pop and Rap rule the airwaves. But what overlooked genres are their unobvious sources? The electrified sounds of mainstream genres actually originate from acoustic music. Elvis became the King of Rock and Roll through Country and Western and Southern Blues. Toby Keith and Faith Hill brought the talents of Hank Williams Jr. and Waylon Jennings to the Pop scene. Queen took the tuxedos off of Classical and Opera and moved them into the domain of todays Tech Metal. Yngwie Malmsteen and Randy Rhoads brought the techniques of classical violin and guitar to Heavy Metal and RUN DMC sampled classic and modern Rock tracks to create a trend that introduced new audiences to Rap. Like summer lightning coming out of a clear sky, these acoustic precedents seeded the clouds of contemporary creativity and now flash down to earth as todays Rock, Pop, and Rap. One man with a rare and unusual talent of his own dedicates his time to spotlighting the little known stars of the acoustic set.

Books Finally, Growing Flowers in the Desert spotlights young violinist Midori,who tackled The Book of Love by karen bentley; Big Heart Books; 2002 If music http://www.numag.neu.edu/0303/books.html
Extractions: Wisely, to make his great musicians more human, the author offers caffeine-like jolts of insider gossip, critical dissent, and smart shoptalk. For example, that it took a year for Yo-Yo Ma to learn the Nashville fiddling style for his CD Appalachia Waltz. Or that Juilliard Quartet rehearsals occasionally turned into shouting matches, in which music stands were thrown instead of punches. Such tempering pronouncements aside, optimism generally prevails in the book. Pincus has made it his mission to put some of the pieces back together again by celebrating the achievements of exceptional citizen-artists. In turn, a citizen-journalist has contributed greatly to public discourse on the role culture plays in a democracy.
