SUMMARY:Amazonland Chamber Players
DESCRIPTION:Alison Tatum\, violin; Sarah Hansen\, cello; Scott Griffin\, piano \nProgram \nZigeunerweisen\, Op. 20 by Pablo de Sarasate \nAndante from Cello Sonata\, Op. 19 by Sergei Rachmaninoff \nCarol of the Bells by Mykola Lentovych\, arr. Scott Griffen \n-break- \nPiano Trio No. 4\, Op. 90 “Dumky” by Antonín Dvořák \nAbout Amazonland Chamber Players \nOne evening in the fall of 2012\, Alison walked up to Sarah in a classroom at DePaul University and said\, “Hey\, let’s be friends.” Sarah said “Um\, ok\,” and gave her a weird look. Five years later found the two trapped in Alison’s car for 19 hours\, navigating a 400-mile traffic jam on the way home to Chicago from viewing the Great Solar Eclipse in the path of totality near the southern tip of Illinois. In between singing camp songs\, listening to Mahler’s Second Symphony (twice)\, taking selfies\, and drinking innumerable cups of coffee\, the two decided to make their occasional performances as a string duo into a regular event\, and the group Amazonland Chamber Players was born. They quickly reached out to other musician friends to join in the fun and gave their first official show as a string trio a few weeks later in their most frequent venue\, Spiegelberg Landscape Design’s “Amazonland” garden. \nBios: \nViolinist Alison Tatum is an active freelance performer and teaching artist in the Chicago area. An avid chamber musician\, Alison is a founding member of Amazonland Chamber Players and the string quartet\, Amethyst Ensemble. Alison can often be found in pit orchestras at various theatre establishments around Chicago. Alison began her musical studies at a young age in her native Kansas City\, Missouri and is a graduate of DePaul University’s School of Music in Chicago and the University of Missouri-Columbia. Her teachers include Dr. Olga Dubossarskaya Kaler\, Eva Szekely\, and Dr. Tony Brandolino. Alison maintains an active private studio at several locations in Chicago. \nCellist Sarah Hansen began her musical education in her hometown of Cincinnati and has since studied and collaborated with leading musicians across the country. Sarah regularly performs as an orchestral\, chamber\, and solo musician. She is also on the music faculty at Bradley University\, where she teaches cello and performs with the resident faculty chamber ensemble. Sarah is graduate of DePaul University’s School of Music in Chicago and The Hartt School of Music in Connecticut. Outside of performing and teaching\, Sarah dabbles in running marathons\, making artsy things and exploring Chicago’s many cafés\, restaurants\, and sidewalk libraries. \nScott Griffin\, a native of Florida\, has been playing the piano as long as anyone can remember. An active participant in piano festivals and recitals\, he has received awards at the regional and national levels. After graduating from the Moody Bible Institute in piano performance\, Scott became pianist for The Moody Church\, where he also toured China\, Norway\, Sweden\, Romania\, Spain\, France and Morocco. More recently\, he has teamed-up with Alan Curtis Tripp to present duo piano concerts throughout the country\, and is currently keyboardist for the Covenant Presbyterian Church of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Haiga Duo
DESCRIPTION:About the Haiga Duo \nThe Haiga Duo is a joint venture created by Jason Chen [piano and accordion] and Eric Hollander [viola and poetry]. Jason and Eric have been performing together across the United States since 2011. The duo is most interested in adapting literary and poetic forms into musical compositions. Our recent projects include a musical Renku\, a collection of prayers\, and an exploration of the memoir form. Some past projects have had to do with the procedural intricacies of reading/performing musical notation. \nBetween the two members of the Haiga Duo\, extensive scholastic and immersive experience in poetics and music has kindled an intense desire to reveal the inner core of what is foreign art for both. We have conducted a significant amount of research on traditional Japanese form poetry\, American folk music\, historical accordion folklore and testimony\, and many other crevices of the casual regions of music and poetry. In addition\, we have participated in several prestigious contemporary music programs\, including the Lucerne Festival Academy\, Gamper New Music Festival\, BANFF\, and more. Recently\, we were selected as Wildacres Artists in Residence as a composition/performance duo. \n  \nWhat to Expect \nOur current project is centered around the theme of ‘memoir’. We are gathering memories from various members of specific communities and codifying their responses into a piece of performative art [spoken word/poetry with music]. This is still a work-in-progress; we hope to continue collecting more ‘accordion stories’ or memories from anyone willing to share!

SUMMARY:The Mischlinge Exposé
DESCRIPTION:The Mischlinge Exposé focuses on the complexities of being neither Jewish nor Aryan in Nazi Germany and before\, using beautiful music and original video to illustrate the struggle between assimilation and cultural identity. \nAfter the Nuremberg laws imposed labels on so many human beings\, were they still able to choose their paths? Carolyn’s Mischlinge Exposé weaves a multimedia tapestry around a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the Mischlinge (a derogatory Nazi term for those neither fully Jewish nor fully Aryan). Interweaving video and audio testimony from Carolyn’s godmother and her father\, (both labeled Mischling\, Grade A by the Nazis)\, with the music of German-Jewish-born composers from the salon period just before the war\, the program vividly illustrates what it was like to be between worlds in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. \nProgram:\nFelix Mendelssohn\nThree Songs without Words\nOp. 19\, No. 6 “Venetianisches Gondellied” 1809-1847\nOp. 30\, No. 6 “Venetianisches Gondellied”\nOp. 19\, No. 1 \nAlexander Zemlinsky\nAlbumblatt “Erinnerungen aus Wien” \nHanns Eisler\nSonatine\, Op. 44 “Gradus ad Parnassum”\nI. Andante 1898-1962\nII. Allegretto scherzando\nIII. Larghetto\nIV. Allegro comodo \nPaul Ben-Haim\nFive Pieces for Piano\, Op. 34\nCanzonetta \nSechs Kleine Klavierstücke\, Op. 19 Arnold Schoenberg\nI. Leicht\, zart\nII. Langsam\nIII. Sehr langsam\nIV. Rasch\, aber leicht\nV. Etwas rasch\nVI. Sehr langsam \nBiography\nPianist Carolyn Engerhas gained critical acclaim for her lyrical and dynamic playing\, her deeply felt interpretations of works from Beethoven and Schubert to contemporary music\, and her warm personal approach. In addition to an active performance schedule\, Ms. Enger has enjoyed remarkable success as a recording artist\, particularly with her 2013 release of piano music by Ned Rorem on Naxos Records. Renowned critic Laurence Vittes wrote in his review for Gramophone ​ (2/2014): “Enger raises the miniatures to a higher level by taking the time and care to capture the emotional impact each must have had when their dedicatees read their inscription and title\, and then heard the music for the first time.” The album was selected as one of the “Best in Classical Recordings” by The New York Times: \nAmong the 90th-birthday tributes this year to the essential American composer Ned Rorem\, this recording especially stands out. The fine pianist Carolyn Enger plays Mr. Rorem’s complete Piano Album I\, published in 2003\, a collection of tender yet pungent miniatures written for friends\, intimates and personal occasions from 1978 to 2001. ​ -Anthony Tommasini\, 12/2013 \nMs. Enger’s latest creation\, The Mischlinge Exposé\, ​ pays tribute to her father\, Horst Joachim Enger\, who survived forced labor and the Holocaust as a Mischling in Germany. It takes the form of a multimedia concert program set in the World War II period\, combining music\, literature and images that focus on the haunting memories of the lives of Mischlinge– half-Jews – and converts\, in Germany before\, during\, and after the Holocaust\, an experience reflected in Ms. Enger’s own family history. The Mischlinge project will be enriched by a new commission by the acclaimed composer Bruce Adolphe\, which will premiere in 2017. Find out more about the project at www.mischlingexpose.com. \nHighlights of Ms. Enger’s 2016/17 season include a performance at Michaelis Kirche in Erfurt\, Germany; a Chicago residency with recitals at several Steinway Galleries and the Chicago Public Library; a performance at the Chelmsford Center for the Arts in Massachusetts; and a variety of recitals in the Tri-State area. Ms. Enger will present her ambitious multimedia concert experience\, The Mischlinge Exposé\, ​ at community centers throughout New York and New Jersey\, and will premiere a new work written by the acclaimed composer Bruce Adolphe especially for this project at the Center for Jewish History in Spring 2017.
