TOMORROW at 7:30pm in William M. Lowman Concert Ha

TOMORROW at 7:30pm in William M. Lowman Concert Hall, please join us as the Idyllwild Arts Academy Orchestra proudly presents "The Healing Power of Music - Vibrations Across Generations." Led by Music Department Chair Kai Potts Smith, this special performance will stretch from the Baroque through the Classical and Romantic to the present moment. Featuring Ferruccio Busoni's extraordinary Concertino for Clarinet and Small Orchestra (@rita_laixy - Rita Lai '23, Soloist), this program of musical gems begins with the austere and meditative Fratres by contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, and includes Gabriel Fauré's lush, romantic Pavane, alongside the ingenious first symphony by classical composer, Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Busoni, a child prodigy whose father was a clarinetist, wraps a virtuoso showpiece inside an enigma in his Concertino, written during the grueling 1918 spring offensives of The Great War. The work points towards the neo-classicism that would rise during the peacetime years of the next decade, with the role of the clarinet soloist alternating between the operatic extremes of Bel Canto and Verisimo, while still fulfilling its role as a brilliant virtuoso demonstration of instrumental technique, and its kaleidoscopic orchestration echoing contemporaries, Mahler and Schoenberg, ultimately concluding with a sound-world reminiscent of orchestral dances by Brahms or Dvořák.
🎼

Join us tomorrow at 4pm PST for the Season 2 PREMIERE of Idyllwild Arts President Pamela Jordan's (@pjidyllwildarts) podcast "One World. One Idyllwild. The Series" featuring Native American Chef Freddie Bitsoie (@fjbits), recently featured in @foodnetworkmag! We invite you to join the conversation live with President Jordan during this special interactive premiere on the Idyllwild Arts YouTube channel! Link in bio. We hope to see you at the premiere!
🧑🏽‍🍳
Chef Bitsoie is one of a few Native American chefs at the forefront of preparing, presenting, and educating about foods indigenous to the Americas. This conversation features commentary by Idyllwild Arts’ Director of Native American Arts Program @shay_la_ben (Diné) and a live culinary presentation of select recipes from Bitsoie's new book, “New Native Kitchen: Celebrating Modern Recipes of the American Indian.”

The recent Theatre production of Mary Zimmerman's

The recent Theatre production of Mary Zimmerman's "Metamorphoses" exceeded all expectations! Department Chair and Director Denis McCourt Stryjewski (@denismccourt) said it best in his Director's Note: "Metamorphoses is one of those plays you can see many times and still walk away from each production with a deeper insight into the human condition. Mary Zimmerman has skillfully woven together a poignant script based on Ovid's ancient myths. Our design team, management team, and crew have uplifted those words with amazing costumes, set, lights, props, and organization. Our actors have discovered the brilliance of storytelling by revealing part of themselves through the characters and stories they are bringing to life, while our musicians underscore the tales told. My role, as Director, was to just get out of the way and let the magic come together." Congratulations to the entire department for this spectacular show of our students' talent and ability to work together on their creative endeavors.

If you are wondering if IAA is the right place for you to study music, please join us at the Music Department Virtual Info Session this Wednesday, November 16th, at 6pm! RSVP to admissionteam@idyllwildarts.org for the Zoom link. Our Music students have already given some fantastic performances this semester, including the Songwriting Concert, Department Showcase, Jazz Combos Concert and Orchestra Concert. The Orchestra Concert was especially special as it was the first performance in Southern California of Florence Price's 1932 orchestral tone poem, Ethiopia's Shadow in America. The concert also featured Concerto Competition Winner Rentso Stavrev '24 (@rentsoo) in the first movement of the romantic Symphonie espagnole for violin and orchestra by French composer Édouard Lalo, originally written for the Spanish-Navarrese virtuoso, Pablo de Sarasate. The program concluded with Tchaikovsky's folk song-inspired Symphony No. 2 in C-minor, Op. 17 "Ukrainian," composed during a summer holiday along the Tismyn River in Kamianka, Ukraine.
