SUMMARY:Karl Sellner Memorial Benefit 2022
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for what is sure to be a great evening of music\, food\, raffles\, games\, and friendship in remembrance of former Hope Academy student\, Karl Sellner. All proceeds from the event will go to a scholarship at Hope Academy. \nThis fund honors his memory and ensures that his love of music will live on through the beautiful voices\, playing of various instruments\, dance and acting of children for many years to come. \nIf you are unable to make it to the event\, but would like to make a donation to Hope Academy’s Scholarship Fund (select the Karl Sellner Memorial option) or donate an item for the auction\, click the button below. \nClick Here  \n\nABOUT KARL SELLNER \nFrom an early age\, Karl Jacob Sellner was simply captivated by his grandfather John Alden’s music\, foreshadowing his life-long love of the performing arts. This passion was nurtured by his family and by his many experiences as a student of Hope Academy. As a teen and young adult\, Karl became an accomplished guitar player and lyricist. As with his love of music\, Karl found the other things he cared about early in life\, including his wife Shelby\, and his calling to join the US Army to serve\, like his grandfather had during WWII. Like so many gifted musicians before him\, Karl’s light was also shadowed by bi-polar disorder. On\, September 11\, 2016\, Karl’s pain was too much and he ended his life. The support of the Hope Academy community was treasured by his parents and 6 siblings during this time of grief\, and together\, they channeled this sadness into the Karl Jacob Sellner Memorial Fund for Hope Academy. This fund honors his memory and ensures that his love of music will live on through the beautiful voices\, playing of various instruments\, dance and acting of children for many years to come. \nABOUT HOPE ACADEMY OF MUSIC AND THE ARTS \nHope Academy of Music and the Arts\, an outreach program of East Liberty Presbyterian Church\, offers a safe place where young people of diverse racial\, ethnic\, cultural\, socioeconomic\, religious and linguistic backgrounds can further their personal and artistic growth through the study and performance of theater\, dance and music. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive artistic community that provides deep arts instruction through a sequential and progressive program; that supports the personal and artistic growth of students and teaching artists\, alike; and contributes to our community’s positive growth and cultural vibrancy. Over 350 young people and their families participate in Hope Academy’s programs throughout the year.

SUMMARY:Chamber Music Pittsburgh - Sphinx Virtuosi
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a live\, in-person chamber music concert featuring SPHINX VIRTUOSI on MON Oct 11\, 2021 at Carnegie Music Hall. Tickets have been generously donated to us by our partner\, Chamber Music Pittsburgh. This live performance is recommended for vaccinated students and their families Please read about the performance\, so that you know what to expect; and the etiquette guidelines\, so that you understand the expectations. Then let your teaching artist know how many people in your family would like to attend so that we can reserve tickets for you. There will also be a virtual watch party of the concert on Monday\, October 18; we will email our music students details about the watch party next week. \n\nThe Sphinx Virtuosi are the nation’s most dynamic\, exhilarating professional chamber orchestra\, dedicated to increasing racial and ethnic diversity in classical music. Comprised of eighteen of the nation’s top Black and Latinx classical soloists\, the Virtuosi are primarily alumni of the internationally renowned Sphinx Competition\, and its members work together as cultural ambassadors reaching new audiences. \n\nPROGRAM\nXavier Foley Ev’ry Voice\nFlorence Price String Quartet No. 2 in A minor\nII. Andante Cantabile ARRANGED FOR SPHINX VIRTUOSI\nSamuel Coleridge Taylor Four Noveletten\n1. Allegro moderato / 3. Andante con moto\nJessie Montgomery Banner!\nAndrea Casarrubios Seven (for solo cello)\nRicardo Herz\nInocente\nMourinho\nGinastera Concerto for Strings\nIV. Finale furioso \n \nHOW TO BE A GOOD AUDIENCE MEMBER \nIt is important that audience members remain quiet during the performance. Since music is mostly a listening activity\, any extra sounds that are not part of the music can get in the way and will distract and disturb the musicians and other audience members. \nBefore the Concert \nWear something you might wear to a special event – because it is!.\nPlease don’t wear anything that might be distracting (light up shoes\, clanging jewelry\, etc)\nArrive no later than 7:00 pm to get your tickets. \nBefore You Take Your Seat \nTake care of all rest room needs\nLeave all food\, drink\, and gum outside\, in the lobby.\nLeave all cameras and recording devices outside\, as well.\nThere are strict copyright guidelines about recording concerts.Turn off all cell phones\, pagers\, ipads\, watch sounds\, alarms\, or anything that might make a noise.\nThe only sounds that should be heard are the ones that appear in the musical score (and the audience reaction after the music). \nOnce You Take Your Seat \nA parent or guardian must sit next to each child.\nRemain seated and quiet while the musicians are playing.\nDo not get up during the concert or change seats.\nNo talking\, whispering\, sighing\, tapping or kicking feet\, or rattling of programs or papers.\nBe sure to sit without fidgeting so you don’t distract your neighbors or the performers on stage.\nFeel free to leave during intermission\, if this is a late night for your children; and if they fall asleep during the concert\, that’s okay too. This should be an enjoyable experience for them\, and you!

SUMMARY:Chamber Music Pittsburgh - Brooklyn Rider
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a chamber music concert featuring BROOKLYN RIDER. Tickets have been generously donated to us by our partner\, Chamber Music Pittsburgh. This performance is recommended for students whose attention span and behavior is equivalent to an 8 year old .Please read about the performance\, so that you know what to expect; and the etiquette guidelines\, so that you understand the expectations; then RSVP  by Monday\, December 23 at 12 noon. \nHailed as “the future of chamber music” (Strings)\, the veteran string quartet Brooklyn Rider presents eclectic repertoire and gripping performances that continue to draw rave reviews from classical\, world\, and rock critics alike. NPR credits Brooklyn Rider with “recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble.” \n“They are four classical musicians performing with the energy of young rock stars jamming on their guitars\, a Beethoven-goes-indie foray into making classical music accessible but also celebrating why it was good in the first place.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette \nThe program is entitled “Healing Modes”\, and is a project inspired by the healing properties of music\, which have been recognized from ancient Greek civilization to the field of modern neuroscience and expressed in countless global traditions. \nPROGRAM\nCaroline Shaw: Schisma\nGabriela Lena Frank: Kanto Kechua #2\nDu Yun: i am my own achilles’ heel\nMatana Roberts: borderlands…\nReena Esmail: Zeher (Poison)\nBeethoven: Quartet No. 15 in A minor\, Op. 132 \nTo RSVP\, click HERE \n \n  \nHOW TO BE A GOOD AUDIENCE MEMBER \nIt is important that audience members remain quiet during the performance. Since music is mostly a listening activity\, any extra sounds that are not part of the music can get in the way and will distract and disturb the musicians and other audience members. \nBefore the Concert \nWear something you might wear to a special event – because it is!.\nPlease don’t wear anything that might be distracting (light up shoes\, clanging jewelry\, etc)\nArrive no later than 7:00 pm to get your tickets. \nBefore You Take Your Seat \nTake care of all rest room needs\nLeave all food\, drink\, and gum outside\, in the lobby.\nLeave all cameras and recording devices outside\, as well.\nThere are strict copyright guidelines about recording concerts.Turn off all cell phones\, pagers\, ipads\, watch sounds\, alarms\, or anything that might make a noise.\nThe only sounds that should be heard are the ones that appear in the musical score (and the audience reaction after the music). \nOnce You Take Your Seat \nA parent or guardian must sit next to each child.\nRemain seated and quiet while the musicians are playing.\nDo not get up during the concert or change seats.\nNo talking\, whispering\, sighing\, tapping or kicking feet\, or rattling of programs or papers.\nBe sure to sit without fidgeting so you don’t distract your neighbors or the performers on stage.\nFeel free to leave during intermission\, if this is a late night for your children; and if they fall asleep during the concert\, that’s okay too. This should be an enjoyable experience for them\, and you!

SUMMARY:Karl Sellner Memorial Benefit 2019
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for what is sure to be a great evening of music\, food\, raffles\, games\, and friendship in remembrance of former Hope Academy student\, Karl Sellner. All proceeds from the event will go to a scholarship at Hope Academy. \nThis fund honors his memory and ensures that his love of music will live on through the beautiful voices\, playing of various instruments\, dance and acting of children for many years to come. \nIf you are unable to make it to the event but would still to make a donation to the scholarship fund\, here is the link to the Hope Academy donations page. \nClick HERE to make a DONATION to Hope Academy’s Scholarship Fund (select the Karl Sellner Memorial option) or Donate an Item for the AUCTION \n\nABOUT KARL SELLNER \nFrom an early age\, Karl Jacob Sellner was simply captivated by his grandfather John Alden’s music\, foreshadowing his life-long love of the performing arts. This passion was nurtured by his family and by his many experiences as a student of Hope Academy. As a teen and young adult\, Karl became an accomplished guitar player and lyricist. As with his love of music\, Karl found the other things he cared about early in life\, including his wife Shelby\, and his calling to join the US Army to serve\, like his grandfather had during WWII. Like so many gifted musicians before him\, Karl’s light was also shadowed by bi-polar disorder. On\, September 11\, 2016\, Karl’s pain was too much and he ended his life. The support of the Hope Academy community was treasured by his parents and 6 siblings during this time of grief\, and together\, they channeled this sadness into the Karl Jacob Sellner Memorial Fund for Hope Academy. This fund honors his memory and ensures that his love of music will live on through the beautiful voices\, playing of various instruments\, dance and acting of children for many years to come. \nABOUT HOPE ACADEMY OF MUSIC AND THE ARTS \nHope Academy of Music and the Arts\, an outreach program of East Liberty Presbyterian Church\, offers a safe place where young people of diverse racial\, ethnic\, cultural\, socioeconomic\, religious and linguistic backgrounds can further their personal and artistic growth through the study and performance of theater\, dance and music. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive artistic community that provides deep arts instruction through a sequential and progressive program; that supports the personal and artistic growth of students and teaching artists\, alike; and contributes to our community’s positive growth and cultural vibrancy. Over 350 young people and their families participate in Hope Academy’s programs throughout the year.

In 2016\, Noah performed the world premiere of his own klezmer violin concerto\, Fidl-Fantazye with the Pittsburgh Symphony\, conducted by Manfred Honeck. Recent and forthcoming highlights include his concerto debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker in January 2018\, recital tours in Taiwan\, China\, and Europe and performances of his klezmer concerto with orchestras in the USA and with the China Philharmonic\, as well as his period instrument debut\, performing the Beethoven Violin Concerto with the Apollo’s Fire Orchestra in Cleveland. \nFrom 2011 until 2015\, Noah was Concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. His Pittsburgh debut recital in January 2012 was named the “Best Classical Concert of 2012” by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Noah also performed his own version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” for solo violin in front of 39\,000 fans at the 2013 Pittsburgh Pirates Opening Day at PNC Park. \nBorn in Asheville\, North Carolina\, Noah began playing violin at age 4. At age 9\, he played for Lord Yehudi Menuhin in Switzerland. Noah graduated from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and the Munich Hochschule. His principal teachers were Mauricio Fuks\, Christoph Poppen\, and Ana Chumachenco. In his spare time\, he enjoys playing klezmer music. He has played with world-renowned klezmer groups such as Brave Old World\, and has taught klezmer violin at workshops in Europe and in the United States.Noah performs on a Cremonese violin made in 1732 by Carlo Bergonzi. \nROBERT LEVIN \nPianist and Conductor Robert Levin has performed throughout the United States\, Europe\, Australia and Asia.

Do not get up during the concert or change seats.\nNo talking\, whispering\, sighing\, tapping or kicking feet\, or rattling of programs or papers.\nBe sure to sit without fidgeting so you don’t distract your neighbors or the performers on stage. \nFeel free to leave during intermission\, if this is a late night for your children; and if they fall asleep during the concert\, that’s okay too.
