Sequenza21/The Contemporary Classical Music Weekly of a new concerto by Argentineborn Viñao, featuring anne akiko meyers and Joseph Inother programs, violinist Jennifer Koh will tackle works by Carter, Steve http://www.sequenza21.com/081202.html
Extractions: Today is the 10th anniversary of the passing of John Cage, the well-known mushroom eater, Mesotician, Zen Buddist andSchoenberg's rather hasty judgement that he was"not a composer, but an inventor of genius" asideavant garde composer. Virtually everyone agrees that Cage was one of the most influential figures in 20th century music. By the time of his death in New York on August 12, 1992, he was widely recognized as the initiator and leading figure in the field of indeterminate composition by means of chance operations. His invention of the prepared piano, his work with percussion, and his creative use of "silence" have all been absorbed into the modernism toolkit. There are lots of recordings of Cage pieces around in various anthologies but he is the Stephen Hawking of the music worldsomeone whose work is widely admired and purchased but rarely engaged. What might surprise Cage, were he alive today, is that a few enterprising performers have uncovered a secret that he took to his grave: some of his music is actually as fascinating to listen to as it is to talk about.

Ms. Meyers opened the Dallas Symphony season with Andrew Litton in 1998-99. She went on to perform with the Baltimore Symphony and with the Hong Kong Symphony on a tour of the Far East.

Ms. Meyers also gave recitals in Los Angeles, Germany and Amsterdam.

Honolulu Star-Bulletin Features By Burl Burlingame bburlingame@starbulletin.com. People having been raving aboutviolinist anne akiko meyers for more than a quartercentury, and she s only 31. http://starbulletin.com/2002/04/05/features/story9.html
Extractions: bburlingame@starbulletin.com People having been raving about violinist Anne Akiko Meyers for more than a quarter-century, and she's only 31. "Almost hopelessly beautiful," moonily reported The Strad magazine. "As she declared the themes of the first movement, as the bow struck the violin strings in increasingly agitated spurts of musical ideas, it was as though she were building a fire ignited by the sparks of sound that leaped from her soul ..." breathlessly noted the Dayton Daily News, and then the reporter had an afterglow cigarette. Step back from the gee-whiz sparkle of the high-end classical-music circuit she's playing with the Honolulu Symphony this weekend and what you've got is a hard-working young woman who spends her life in anonymous airplanes and giant hotels and strange cities. "Polyester," says Meyers, "is my friend. The gown is wrinkled; you hang it in the hotel shower and hope it straightens out. It's every guy's nightmare to deal with that, but women do it constantly. "What do I do? There's no time to do much, wherever I am. Rehearsals. Walk around and look at buildings, which are usually deserted when I'm free. More rehearsals. (Sigh) It can be lonely."

AV Marketplace The CDM 1's tonal balance was fundamentally neutral. Voices were reproduced without any lispiness or chesty boom, two colorations endemic among affordable loudspeakers. While the CDM 1's bass didn't go as low as that of the Silver Signature, which has a significantly larger cabinet as well as a larger-diameter woofer, it was quite impressive for what is still a small speaker. There was some slight exaggeration of the upper bass; not enough to be annoying, but sufficient to make me feel the speaker was a little larger than it really is. On classical music, this added a satisfying bloom to the orchestra's lower-pitched instruments. On rock, it could make kick drum sound a bit too rich if sufficient care was not taken in room positioning.

Extractions: By Amanda E. Doyle Nothing against Lawrence Welk, but flipping through the channels and finding the cheesy waltz-and-bubbles routine on public television doesn't exactly inspire me to dig out the checkbook and renew my membership. At its best, public t.v. can be so good, and our own local affiliate, KETC, has taken it upon itself to make a concerted effort to extend its reach into St. Louis. Their new undertaking, "Living St. Louis," is part new and part re-branding of some existing shows, with the end result of a dedicated half-hour, from 7 to 7:30 p.m. each weeknight, focused on local stories and personalities. "Living St. Louis," the new content (i.e. the half hour shows which aren't Donnybrook or Stl Biz), cuts a wide swath, with packages on everything from the remarkable caves under the Lemp Brewery to the art of Brother Mel Meyer , a local Marianist priest. It's all a part of the station's push to live up to its role as the region's storyteller, a spot it has already filled admirably with the Decades series, the interstitial Etc. segments and various local documentaries including the award-winning "Home Front St. Louis" and "American Tower" shows, and the soon-to-be-released "
