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.

SUMMARY:Chamber Music Pittsburgh - Symbarite5
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a chamber music concert featuring SYMBARITE5. 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. \nPlease read about the performance\, so that you know what to expect; and the etiquette guidelines\, so that you understand the expectations; then RSVP here by Friday\, February 8 at 12 noon. \nTo RSVP\, click HERE \nSYMBARITE5\nSami Merdinian\, violin\nSarah Whitney\, violin\nAngela Pickett\, viola\nLaura Metcalf\, cello\nLouis Levitt\, bass \nPROGRAM\nThe program\, titled Outliers\, is a celebration of works written by Sybarite5’s favorite composers mixed with music from the friends they’ve made while traveling the world performing the music they love. Sybarite5 plays the music of artists such as Andy Akiho\, Shawn Conley\, Jessica Meyer\, Dan Visconti\, Piazzolla\, Elgar\, and Radiohead. \nIN A PROGRAM OF SERIAL HIGH POINTS\, THERE WERE TOO MANY TO MENTION…\n— THE WASHINGTON POST \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nDubbed the “Millennial Kronos\,” SYBARITE5’s eclectic repertoire from Bowie to Radiohead and Akiho to Assad combined with its commanding performance style is turning heads throughout the music world. The quintet’s debut album\, Disturb the Silence\, quickly reached the top ten on the Billboard charts. The group’s follow-up album\, Everything in its Right Place\, was released at Carnegie Hall to critical acclaim. SYBARITE5 recently completed its latest album\, Outliers\, featuring all new works from American composers.SYBARITE5 is deeply committed to education and outreach as well as performance. In addition to presenting masterclasses and workshops for over 60\,000 students ages 5-25\, they have worked closely with the composition departments of colleges and universities such as Luther College\, Penn State\, Samford University\, New College and others to give students firsthand experience writing for string quintet in a popular program called So You Think You Can Compose. SYBARITE5 brings its latest composer-driven social media project to life by launching a collaboration with Juilliard and composer Ray Lustig dubbed Composagrams. \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!. Please 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. There are strict copyright guidelines about recording concerts.\nTurn off all cell phones\, pagers\, ipads\, watch sounds\, alarms\, or anything that might make a noise. The 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. 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. This should be an enjoyable experience for them\, and you!

SUMMARY:Hope Academy Holiday Recitals
DESCRIPTION:The following studios will have recitals on SUN December 16 \n\n\n1:30 pm     Kathleen Andrews and Jennifer O’Konski (Suzuki Violin) \n\n\n3:30 pm     Lee Kikuchi (Piano) \n\n\n3:30 pm     Beth Goldstein (Suzuki Cello) \n\n\n5:30 pm     Helga Scheibert and Doris Weir (Piano) \n\n\n5:30 pm     Brittany Trotter and Ana Diaz (Flute\, Flute Choir and Cello) \nRecitals are special occasions designed to give students a chance to share their music and gain valuable performance experience. They provide a benchmark to measure growth from year to year\, and an incentive for students to practice and polish pieces they are working on. \nThere will be many recital sessions scheduled throughout the day in various rooms throughout the church building. Please do not ask to have your child perform at the beginning or the end of their recital session – students and families are expected to be on time and stay for the entire recital that their children are performing in. We are organizing the recital sessions to be about an hour long. \nCOOKIE RECEPTION \nEach family is asked to bring cookies for a reception that will follow the recital. There will be two reception rooms in the front hallway\, leading to the Sanctuary. Rooms will be labeled so that cookies can be placed in the room that corresponds to the student’s studio. Please bring cookies only. It is best if they are on a disposable tray. \nRECITAL ETIQUETTE \nLearning about and practicing recital etiquette is an important part of a student’s musical education\, so we ask that families read and discuss these guidelines with their children. \nPerformer Etiquette \n\nDress appropriately. Choose conservative over casual in terms of shoe styles\, hem length of dresses and straps for tops.\nAvoid jewelry that makes noise as you move; heels that are difficult to walk in; and sleeves that get in the way of playing.\nBe on time. Your teacher will let you know when and where to meet before the recital to warm up. This will be at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the recital. If you are playing with an accompanist\, you may be asked to arrive earlier to rehearse together.\nBe prepared. Make sure you have your music\, instrument and any necessary accessories before leaving home (bow\, rosin\, capo\, tuner\, etc.)\nBe respectful. Refrain from whispering\, talking\, or using electronic devices. Show the other performers the same courtesy you want to be shown.\nEnter and exit with confidence. You should bow at the end and acknowledge the accompanist (if you have one). Teachers will go over this in lessons.\n\nAudience Etiquette \n\nArrive on time or a little early. Late arrivals are distracting to the audience\, and they can be unnerving for the performer.\nTurn off cell phones and other electronic devices. Ring tones and electronic chirps are distracting; and texting\, reading emails and playing games while students are performing is disrespectful.\nDo not cause distractions. Bring something (a quiet game or book) to keep young children under 8 years old occupied. Children over 8 should be able to sit quietly and watch.\nTake disruptive infants or toddlers out of the recital as soon as they become fussy. Please sit close to an aisle so that you can leave without too much commotion. We will come to get you when your child performs.\nDo not talk\, whisper\, rattle papers or eat during the recital.\nStay for the entire performance to show respect for all of the musicians.\n\nPhotos and Video \n\nNo flash photography\, please\nA group photo\, with the teacher\, will be taken at the end of each recital session.

SUMMARY:Hope Academy Fall Term Open Classes #2
DESCRIPTION:This is the second day of open classes for the fall term. Students who are not in open classes will have their regular class. This is the final Saturday of the fall term. \nPittsburgh Ballet Theatre DANCE CLASSES\nOur new dance studio has allowed us to have two dance classes running concurrently on Saturdays at the same time (one class in the gym and one in the dance studio).

SUMMARY:Hope Academy Fall Term Open Classes #1
DESCRIPTION:We will have two days of open classes to end the fall term. Students should come on both days. \nPittsburgh Ballet Theatre DANCE CLASSES\nOur new dance studio has allowed us to have two dance classes running concurrently on Saturdays at the same time (one class in the gym and one in the dance studio). This means we have twice as many dancers and family members here with us during each time frame\, and too many to fit into the gym for open classes. \nOur solution for the fall term is to schedule open classes over the last two Saturdays of the term. When a student’s class is scheduled to be open for observation\, it will be in the gym (so that we have room for everyone who wants to come and watch). The other class will be held in the dance studio. \nBallet 2 students are invited to perform with Kerra Alexander for a Buzzword event on Wednesday\, Dec 12 at The Shop in Homewood (621 N. Dallas Ave – Pittsburgh 15208) from 5 to 7 pm. Click here for more details and to RSVP. \nTAP and AFRICAN DANCE CLASSES\nTap 1 & 2 (combined class) will be on the stage in the Social Hall for their open class (12/15). Tap 3 (12/8)and West African Dance and Drumming (12/15) will remain in the gym. \nACT & SING Classes\nAct & Sing 1 will share “Abiyoyo” & songs – a work in progress in the Good Samaritan Room (12/15)\nAct & Sing 2 will be open for observation in the Good Samaritan Room (12/8)\nAct & Sing 3 will not be open for observation. They will have performances in February for the Shakespeare competition.

SUMMARY:Chamber Music Pittsburgh - Imani Winds
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a chamber music concert featuring IMANI WINDS. 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. \nPlease read about the performance\, so that you know what to expect; and the etiquette guidelines\, so that you understand the expectations; then RSVP here by Tuesday\, November 13. \nTo RSVP\, click HERE \nImani Winds\nBrandon Patrick George\, flute (Joined Imani Winds in September\, replacing Valerie Coleman)\nToyin Spellman-Diaz\, oboe\nMark Dover\, clarinet\nJeff Scott\, french horn/composer\nMonica Ellis\, bassoon \nPROGRAM\nStartin’ Sumthin’ – Jeff Scott\nQuintet for Winds – John Harbison\nLa Nouvelle Orleans – Lalo Schifrin\nSechs Bagatellen – Gyorgi Ligeti\nThe Light is the Same – Reena Esmail\nTzigane – Valerie Coleman \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nSince 1997 Imani Winds\, the Grammy-nominated wind quintet\, has taken a unique path carving out a distinct presence in the classical music world with its dynamic playing\, culturally poignant programming\, adventurous collaborations\, and inspirational outreach programs. With two member composers and a deep commitment to commissioning new work\, the group is enriching the traditional wind quintet repertoire while meaningfully bridging American\, European\, African and Latin American traditions. From Mendelssohn to Astor Piazzolla to Wayne Shorter and Stravinsky\, Imani Winds seeks to engage new music and new voices into the modern classical idiom. \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!. Please 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. There are strict copyright guidelines about recording concerts.\nTurn off all cell phones\, pagers\, ipads\, watch sounds\, alarms\, or anything that might make a noise. The 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. 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. This should be an enjoyable experience for them\, and you!
