Foreign Composers as Exiles, Visitors & Residents in the U.S.
A talk by distinguished NYU professor Michael Beckerman

When Bartók arrived in the United States he was one of hundreds of composers from Europe who lived, worked, composed and made their homes here. Whether in the orange groves of Florida, the shores of Mamaroneck, the studios of Hollywood or the Adirondack Mountains, composers arrived, left, stayed as visitors, residents, and many as eventual citizens. Some experienced this as a brilliant new life, others as intolerable exile, and still others as something in between. Using Bartók’s American experience as the core, this lecture expands outward in both geographical and chronological directions to put it in a broad context. Underwritten by Ann Zagoreos

OUT OF THIS WORLD!

FILM: “Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey” (1994)

With Jason Smeltzer, theremin and Wayne Smith, piano Selections include music by Rachmaninoff, Puccini, Alban Berg and Charlie Chaplin. An exclusive “for-members-only” event

The Sembrich announces its 2012 Annual Meeting, to be held March 12th at the Queensbury Hotel in downtown Glens Falls.  The meeting will feature a short performance by the Tamurizans of Duquesne University.  The Tamburizans will also give a performance at the Wood Theater in Glens Falls at 7:30 pm that same evening. Tickets can be purchased through the Wood Theater Box Office or by calling The Sembrich at 518-644-2431. The annual meeting is open to all Sembrich members.

The dynamic 32-member music and dance ensemble last appeared in the North Country in 2008 in a special performance marking the 150th anniversary of Marcella Sembrich’s birth. The sellout event garnered raves and was acclaimed as one of the highlights of the 2008 performance season. This “not-to-be-missed” return appearance will coincide with The Sembrich’s 2012 annual member meeting at the Queensbury Hotel.
