Musical Storytelling: Spano Conducts Scheherazade and The Rite of Spring

RIMSKY-KORSAKOV: Scheherazade
STRAVINSKY: The Rite of Spring

FRI, JAN 31, 2025, 7:30 PM

Bass Performance Hall

Approx. 2 hours 1 minute
(Includes 20 minute intermission)

Who doesn’t love the story of 1,001 Arabian Nights? In Scheherazade, Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov used the full might of the symphony orchestra to retell a few of those tales. He eloquently uses the solo violin to represent the clever orator, Scheherazade, while the heavy brass portrays her merciless monarch, the Sultan. Balancing the program is another of music’s most famous tales, Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, a ferocious story of sacrifice and rebirth where the orchestra and dancers share the stage.

Chamber Music America: Innovation Challenge Pitch - Shark Tank

Community Impact Project Incubator is a vital pillar of CAG’s Citizen Musician Training. Through it, artists explore new ways to create positive community impact beyond the concert stage. In this series of workshops, CAG roster musicians:

  • Identify community needs

  • Transform these needs into projects

  • Pitch to fund their project

  • Launch their project

  • Network for social impact

Reed Me

In rural Wisconsin, many high school band programs are in bassoon deserts: areas where there are very few or no bassoonists, leaving students interested in learning the instrument isolated and undersupported. These young players often struggle with loneliness, a lack of guidance, and limited access to reed-making materials crucial to their development. This can discourage them from pursuing bassoon more seriously and further the shortage of bassoonists.

Reed Me seeks to address these challenges by providing mentorship, resources, and community to aspiring bassoonists in underserved areas. As the newly appointed bassoon professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I plan to lead this initiative with support from my graduate students.

The project focuses on three key areas:

  1. Reed Starter Tool Kits: Providing students with the tools needed to make and refine their own reeds, eliminating a major barrier for beginners.

  2. Mentorship: Monthly lessons and guidance from me or graduate students to help students overcome isolation and develop both technical skills and confidence.

  3. Community Resources: An online database of instructional videos and materials to support students throughout their development.

About

The Emerald Coast Music Alliance Foundation, Inc. is the brainchild of Alon Goldstein, an Israeli-born pianist who has performed all over the world. In 2017, Goldstein formed the group in the hopes of keeping the magic of the arts, specifically the art of classical music, alive especially for populations who would normally not have access to such; elementary through high school students, facilities for special needs populations, autism centers, assisted living and senior centers, and child care programs.

Emerald Coast Music Alliance Foundation sponsors a music festival at the beginning of each new year across Northwest Florida.  Goldstein invites other world class guest musicians to join him in performing in multiple venues across the Emerald Coast.   Our musicians report that it is a life enriching experience performing in these group settings and especially engaging with the audiences to answer questions or to provide hands-on experiences for young people on their instruments.
