SUMMARY:Cultural Crossroads: Dvořák in America

A Navy veteran\, Nakai earned an MA in American Indian Studies from the University of Arizona\, authored The Art of Native American Flute with composer James DeMars\, and has received a multitude of awards and honors for his lifetime achievements. \nWill Clipman began playing drums and piano at age three and has since mastered a pan-global palette of percussion instruments. A seven-time Grammy nominee and winner of several US\, Canadian\, and Indigenous awards\, he has recorded over 70 albums\, and collaborated with many internationally acclaimed artists and ensembles\, most notably through his 30-year association with Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai. Clipman is a widely published\, prize-winning poet\, as well as an accomplished mask-maker and storyteller. In his 40-year career as an arts educator\, he has given hundreds of presentations\, impacting a range of communities from traditional school settings to hospitals\, prisons\, and parks. \nKenneth Kellogg is a Washington\, DC native and alumnus of the city’s Duke Ellington School of the Performing and Visual Arts. Active in both the US and Europe\, he has worked with the San Francisco Opera\, LA Opera\, Washington National Opera\, Opera de Oviedo\, and Opera de Lausanne\, among others. A sample of his many operatic roles includes the title role in Mozart’s Don Giovanni\, as well as Leporello and Il Commendatore; Mephistopheles in Gounod’s Faust; and Don Alfonso in Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte. Of note\, Tazewell Thompson’s opera Blue was written for him. Kellogg holds degrees from University of Michigan and Ohio University. \nPamela Freund-Striplen served as artistic director and violist of San Francisco’s Gold Coast Chamber Players for 35 years.

SUMMARY:Vienna to L.A.
DESCRIPTION:In a concert celebrating composer Arnold Schoenberg’s 150th anniversary\, the Ciompi Quartet performs a program of works connected by time and place. Mozart’s Vienna produced quartets like his K. 589: formally perfect\, deeply learned\, but with an effortless grace. Erich Korngold and Arnold Schoenberg\, both raised in Vienna\, were polar-opposites by the mid-1930s when they arrived in Los Angeles: Schoenberg was an avant-garde modernist and a revered figure in the Academy (UCLA); Korngold was a composer of lush romantic scores that were sought after by Hollywood. Both wrote brilliant quartets that gave their Viennese origins a 20th century incarnation. \nThe Program\nW.A. Mozart: String Quartet #22 in B-flat major\, K. 589\nArnold Schoenberg: String Quartet #4\, Op. 37 (1936)\nErich Wolfgang Korngold: String Quartet #2\, Op. 26 (1933) \nPresented by Duke Arts. \nDuke Arts\nDuke Arts champions expansive\, inclusive\, and impactful arts programs that build meaningful connections between campus\, community\, and global audiences. \nPlease Reserve Tickets in Advance Here

SUMMARY:Valley Classical Concerts\, Northampton\, MA
DESCRIPTION:The Ciompi Quartet performs with pianist Ieva Jokūbavičiūte at Valley Classical Concerts in Northampton\, Massachusetts. \nThe Program\nMieczysław Weinberg: Piano Quintet (1944) \nI. Moderato con moto\nII. Allegretto\nIII. Presto\nIV. Largo\nV. Allegro agitato \nW.A. Mozart \nWilliam Grant Still\nI. The Sentimental One\nII. The Quiet One (based on Inca melody)\nIII. The Jovial One \nJohn Dowland \nValley Classical Concerts\nValley Classical Concerts was founded as Music in Deerfield in 1979. Now based in Northampton\, our mission is simple: to bring first-rate performances of classical chamber music to the Pioneer Valley\, music and artists that might otherwise only be heard in major metropolitan areas. Valley Classical Concerts (VCC) presents both mainstream classical music and works of 20th and 21st century composers\, performed by a mix of established musicians and exciting early-career ensembles. VCC broadens access to this great music through deeply discounted family and student pricing and other special admission opportunities. \nIeva Jokūbavičiūtė\nLithuanian pianist Ieva Jokūbavičiūtė’s powerfully and intricately crafted performances have earned her critical acclaim throughout North America and Europe. Her ability to communicate the essential substance of a work has led critics to describe her as possessing ‘razor-sharp intelligence and wit’ and ‘subtle\, complex\, almost impossibly detailed and riveting in every way’ (The Washington Post) and as ‘an artist of commanding technique\, refined temperament and persuasive insight’ (The New York Times). In 2006\, she was honored as a recipient of a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship. \nLabor Records released Ieva’s debut recording in 2010 to critical international acclaim\, which resulted in recitals in New York\, Chicago\, Philadelphia\, Baltimore\, DC\, Vilnius\, and Toulouse.

SUMMARY:An American in Shanghai: Forgotten Stories
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Min Xiao-fen\, pipa and voice \nWhen cultures mix\, music is usually where they find common ground. 1930’s Shanghai put American jazz trumpeter Buck Clayton in contact with Chinese songwriter Li Jin-Hui\, resulting in music that blended American jazz with Chinese popular song. The Ciompi Quartet and pipa virtuoso Xiao-Fen Min have commissioned two new works for pipa and string quartet by composers Alan Chan and Andrew Waggoner that explore the sonic possibilities of these disparate musical worlds. Chan’s work re-imagines 30s era songs through a jazz lens\, while Waggoner creates a dramatic dialogue between the Min’s virtuoso Pipa and the string quartet. The program includes a quartet by Jewish refugee Wolfgang Fraenkel\, who escaped to Shanghai in 1939 and became an influential teacher and musical figure in the life of the city. \n\nAndrew Waggoner: Forgotten Stories for String Quartet and Pipa (2024) WORLD PREMIERE – Ciompi Commission\nAlan Chan: “Catch Me at the Canidrome” for String Quartet and Pipa (2024) WORLD PREMIERE – Ciompi Commission\nWolfgang Fraenkel: Music for String Quartet (1949)\n\nThis concert is FREE \nWatch The Live Stream Here

SUMMARY:Night Music
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Jennifer Johnson Cano\, mezzo soprano and Ieva Jokūbavičiūtė\, piano. \nNight Music—Bela Bartók’s term for music that depicts of the sounds and emotions of the night—is the central episode in the arch form of his Quartet #4. Fifty years later\, Henri Dutilleux returned to the same nocturnal landscape in his string quartet Ainsi la nuit. The concert brightens after intermission with Fauré’s setting of Paul Verlaine’s love poetry\, which floods the stage with glorious daylight. Mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano\, one of the stars of her generation\, brings virtuoso musicianship to a collaboration with the Ciompi and Duke colleague\, pianist Ieva Jokūbavičiūtė. \n\nHenri Dutilleux: Ainsi la Nuit (Thus the Night) for TString Quartet (1976)\nBéla Bartók: String Quartet #4\nGabriel Fauré: La bonne chanson with Jennifer Johnson Cano\, and Ieva Jokūbavičiūtė\n\nThis concert is FREE.

SUMMARY:Ciompi Presents: Evocations
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Caroline Stinson (cello). \nTickets available from the Duke University Box Office. \nThe final concert in the summer series features Caroline Stinson performing with the Lydian String Quartet\, Rachel Calin (bass) and Adriana Linares (viola). \nProgram: Boccherini Cello Quintet Night Music of the Streets of Madrid; John Harbison Presences for solo cello\, string quartet\, and bass\, commissioned to honor the young cellist\, David Anderson (1978-1998); Brahms Sextet for Strings in G Major OP 36\, the early joyful flowering of Brahms’ musical voice. \n\nCaroline Stinson is cellist with the Ciompi String Quartet at Duke where she is Associate Professor of the Practice and directs Chamber Music. Ms. Stinson performs widely as a soloist\, recitalist and chamber musician\, appearing at Zankel Hall (Carnegie)\, The Gardner Museum (Boston) and The Smithsonian (DC); the Koelner Philharmonie\, Lucerne Festival and Cité de la Musique in Europe\, and the Centennial Centre in Canada. She is Principal Cello of Orchestra Lumos in Connecticut\, under the direction of Michael Stern\, and is co-Artistic Director of Weekend of Chamber Music in the Catskill Mountain Region with her husband Andy Waggoner. Ms. Stinson has premiered dozens of works for solo cello\, concerti and chamber music\, and her many recordings include the solo CD Lines on Albany Records. \nLinks to guest artists: \nLydian String Quartet \nRachel Calin\, bass \nAdriana Linares\, viola \nFrom Caroline Stinson:  The Lydian have had a long relationship with John Harbison\, whose work “Presences” for solo cello\, string quartet and bass we will perform\, and eventually record. I’m looking forward to performing the work again; I first learned it back in 2016 and performed it with the Verona Quartet. \nFrom the composer: “Presences\, for solo cello\, string quartet\, and bass viol\, was commissioned by Charles Felsenthal to honor his friend\, the young cellist\, David Anderson (1978-1998). With the help of many materials furnished to me by the commissioner — news articles\, photographs\, concert programs\, poems\, and personal memories — I conceived of an informal\, un-stylized piece\, not a threnody or tombeau\, but something which might permit David Anderson’s cello-voice — which unfortunately I never heard or knew — to be known and heard again through the porous curtain which shields us from the other side.” \n— John Harbison

SUMMARY:Ciompi Presents: Homages
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Eric Pritchard\, violin. \nTickets available from the Duke University Box Office. \nThe second concert features violinist Eric Pritchard with guest artists Anton Miller (violin)\, Heather Bentley (viola)\, Elizabeth Anderson (cello) and Brandt Fredriksen (piano). The program includes two premiere performances of recently composed piano quintets inspired by visionary creatives and finishes with Handel’s well-known Passacaglia and Pärt’s beloved Spiegel im Spiegel. \nProgram: Heather Bentley For Nellie inspired by Ellen Shipman\, the visionary landscape architect of the Duke Gardens; Bill Robinson Cubic Deviations\, inspired by Brahms’ Variations on a Theme by Handel; Handel/Halvorsen Passacaglia transcribed by Halversen; Arvo Pärt Spiegel im Spiegel. \n\nEric Pritchard has served as first violinist of the Ciompi Quartet of Duke University since 1995. Mr. Pritchard tours worldwide as a chamber musician and he has appeared as soloist with orchestras including the Boston Pops\, Indianapolis Philharmonic and Orchestra New England. As a member of the Alexander String Quartet\, he was awarded First Prize at the London International String Quartet Competition and premiered works by Aaron Copland and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Pritchard’s chamber and solo recordings have been released on Naxos\, MSR\, Albany and Toccata Classics. A graduate of Indiana University and the Juilliard School\, he also is a certified teaching member of Alexander Technique International. \nViolinist Anton Miller has appeared throughout the United States and abroad as a soloist\, chamber musician\, recitalist and pedagogue. He is currently Professor of Violin at the Hartt School of Music and Co-Director of Music at the Point CounterPoint Chamber Festival in Vermont. He can be heard in concert with the Miller-Porfiris Duo\, QuartetES\, Con Brio Ensemble and the Phenix Ensemble. He studied at the Juilliard School with Dorothy DeLay and at Indiana University with Franco Gulli.  \nSeattle-based violist and composer Heather Bentley has trailblazed a career as one of the West Coast’s most visible improvisatory musicians\, specializing in creating evocative atmospheres and textures.
