SUMMARY:WYEP Reimagination CD Release Party
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy’s band\, The Levellers\, will be performing at a party to celebrate the release of their original song “Tell Me Why\,” on this year’s WYEP Reimagination CD. The party goes from 2 to 5 pm at the WYEP studios\, with the Levellers playing at 3:15 pm. \nThe Levellers original song – “Tell Me Why”\n​\nProducer:\nJon Bindley \nRecorded at The Church Recording Studio by Dana Cannone \nBand Members:\nSojo Bradbury\, Lead Singer\nBella Bradbury\,​Singer\nKira Mukogosi\,Singer\nKyra Simmons\,​Singer\nMarvin Irish\, Drums\nJames Jaap\, Bass Guitar\nTomi Olaore\, Saxophone\nAdam Peters\, Guitar\nJames Picone\, Bass Guitar\nDesmond Rucker\, Drums \nThe Levellers\, from Hope Academy of Music and the Arts\, chose their name to reference a group of activists from the 1600s\, during the English Civil War\, who called for constitutional reform\, religious tolerance and equal rights. While their individual musical styles range from Death Metal and Heavy Rock to Prince\, The Beatles and Michael Jackson; they came together for this song\, “Tell Me Why\,” to write a country blues vibe to complement So​jo Bradbury’s lyrics.  The song was written to describe a child’s first awareness of living in an unjust world; of having questions about the world that should have been answered long ago; and about deciding to reject the status quo and\, like The Levellers\, say #neveragain.

SUMMARY:Les Violons du Roy Chamber Music Concert
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a chamber music concert featuring Les Violins du Roy with  Bernard Labadie\, conductor\, and Isabelle Faust\, violin 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 Thursday\, April 26. \nPROGRAM \nA program of violin concerti and other works by Johann Sebastian Bach \nThree Leipzig Chorales\, BWV 651\, 660\, 655\nPassacaglia and Fugue in C minor\, BWV 582\nViolin Concerto in E major\, BWV 1042\nViolin Concerto in A minor\, BWV 1041\nContrapunctus XIV from “The Art of Fugue\,” BWV 1080\nConcerto for Two Violins\, Strings\, and Continuo in D minor\, BWV 1043 – with Pascale Giguère\, violin \nABOUT THE ARTIST \n\n\nLes Violons du Roy\, with Bernard Labadie\, conductor\nThe chamber orchestra Les Violons du Roy takes its name from the renowned string orchestra of the court of the French kings. The group\, which has a core membership of fifteen players\, was brought together in 1984 by founding conductor Bernard Labadie and specializes in the vast repertoire of music for chamber orchestra\, performed in the stylistic manner most appropriate to each era. Although the ensemble plays on modern instruments\, its approach to the works of the Baroque and Classical periods has been strongly influenced by current research into performance practice in the 17th and 18th centuries; in this repertoire Les Violons du Roy uses copies of period bows. The orchestra also regularly delves into the repertoire of the 19th and 20th centuries\, as witnessed by its recordings of works by Piazzolla\, Bartók\, and Britten. \n  \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:March for Our Lives - PGH to DC
DESCRIPTION:Youth organizers and students from across the Pittsburgh region will take buses on March 24th to join the national March for Our Lives day of action to end gun violence. We stand in solidarity with survivors of the Parkland Florida shooting and demand that our lawmakers make gun reform a top priority to end this cycle of gun violence in our schools and our communities at large. \nThe time to lift your voice and change our laws has come. \nHope Academy has chartered a tour bus to leave from East Liberty Presbyterian Church around 4:30 am and return around midnight. We can take 40-45 high school students and 10-15 chaperones (college students or parents/guardians). High school students need to have parent/guardian permission documents signed before their spot will be reserved for the trip. Chaperones need to have clearances – Pennsylvania Access to Criminal History and Child Abuse History Clearance – these are free for volunteers. \nWe are partnering with One Pennsylvania and will caravan with at least two other buses of young people from Pittsburgh. There will be a kickoff meeting on Monday\, March 19 to pick up tickets\, make signs and get to know the other students attending the march. There will also be a training session for chaperones/bus captains. One Pennsylvania is organizing all of this\, along with a t-shirt making event later that week at AIR studio on the North Side. Lots of plans are being made and updates will be emailed to those who apply. \nPriority will be given to students from East Liberty\,  Hope Academy\, ELPC’s youth group and Woodland Hills High School. When our bus is filled\, applications will be forwarded to One Pennsylvania. Their buses will be leaving from Schenley Plaza in Oakland\, with additional stops east of Pittsburgh. \nThis trip is generously supported by The Sherman Evans Fund at The Pittsburgh Foundation. \nWe have filled all of the buses for the March for Our Lives in Washington\, DC on SAT March 24\nPlease consider supporting the work of our partner\, One Pennsylvania\, by clicking here to make a donation.

SUMMARY:Ebene String Quartet Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a chamber music concert featuring Ebene String Quartet. 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 Wednesday\, March 7. \nPROGRAM \nFranz Joseph Haydn  – Quartet in D minor\, Op. 76\, No. 2 “Fifths”\nGabriel Fauré  – Quartet in E minor\, Op. 121\nJazz and crossover works to be announced from the stage \nABOUT THE ARTIST \n\n\nPierre Colombet – violin\nGabriel Le Magadure – violin\nMarie Chelemme – viola\nRaphaël Merlin – violoncello \n“A string quartet that can easily morph into a jazz band\,” wrote the New York Times after a 2009 performance by the Quatuor Ebène. The ensemble opened with Debussy and Haydn and then improvised on a film music theme—with equal enthusiasm and passion. What began in 1999 as a distraction in the conservatory practice rooms for the four young French musicians has become a trademark of the Quatuor Ebène\, and has generated lasting reverberations in the music scene. The four breathe new life into chamber music through their consistently direct\, open-minded perspective on the works. Regardless of the genre\, they approach the music with humility and respect. They change styles with gusto\, and yet remain themselves: with all the passion that they experience for each piece\, and which they bring to the stage and to their audiences directly and authentically. There is no single word that describes their style: they’ve created their own. Their traditional repertoire does not suffer from their engagement with other genres; rather\, their free association with diverse styles brings a productive excitement to their music. From the beginning\, the complexity of their oeuvre has been greeted enthusiastically by audiences and critics. After studies with the Quatuor Ysaÿe in Paris and with Gábor Takács\, Eberhard Feltz and György Kurtág\, the quartet had an unprecedented victory at the ARD Music Competition 2004. This marked the beginning of their rise\, which has culminated in numerous prizes and awards. The Quatuor Ebène’s concerts are marked by a special élan. With their charismatic playing\, their fresh approach to tradition and their open engagement with new forms\, the musicians have been successful in reaching a wide audience of young listeners; they communicate their knowledge in regular master classes at the Conservatoire Paris and at the Colburn School in Los Angeles. In 2005\, the ensemble won the Belmont Prize of the Forberg-Schneider Foundation. Since then\, the Foundation has worked closely with the musicians\, making it possible for them to play priceless old Italian instruments from private collections. The Quatuor Ebène’s debut CD\, featuring works by Haydn\, was praised unanimously by critics. Further recordings of music by Bartók\, Debussy and Fauré have won numerous awards\, including the Gramophone Award\, the ECHO Klassik and the Midem Classic Award. Their 2010 album Fiction and the accompanying DVD\, a live recording of jazz arrangements\, has only solidified their unique position in the chamber music scene. In 2013\, the ensemble put out an acclaimed CD\, Felix and Fanny\, with works by Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy\, which won a BBC Music MagazineAward. Their second crossover CD\, Brazil\, a collaboration with Stacey Kent\, appeared early in 2014. Highlights of the 2015/2016 season included concerts in the Wigmore Hall in London\, the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées Paris\, Munich’s Herkulessaal\, and Carnegie Hall in New York\, alongside numerous festival concerts in Prague and Bremen\, among others. Quatuor Ebène were the Prize Winner in Residence at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival in the Summer of 2015. \n \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:Sean Jones and Friends Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a concert featuring Classical Sean Jones and Friends. 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 Sunday\, November 18. \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nSean Jones\nMusic and spirituality have always been fully intertwined in the artistic vision of trumpeter\, composer\, educator and activist Sean Jones. Singing and performing as a child with the church choir in his hometown of Warren\, Ohio\, Sean switched from the drums to the trumpet upon his first exposure to Miles Davis at the age of 10. Twenty-five years later\, he still cites Miles’ overall artistic vision and purity of sound as his greatest personal influence. But it was another immortal visionary who had a most profound impact when Sean was a 19-year old student at Youngstown State University – the magnificent John Coltrane through his masterpiece\, A Love Supreme. Says Jones\, “All at once\, everything just came together for me. My past\, my present\, my future. I knew the course I needed to pursue.” Already exhibiting a superb control of the instrument through his private studies with master trumpeter and educator Esotto Pellegrini and his intensive listening to his other primary influences\, Woody Shaw\, Freddie Hubbard and Clifford Brown\, the young trumpeter committed himself to artistic excellence the pursuit of transcendence. Five years later\, after receiving his Master’s Degree from Rutgers University\, Sean had a 6-month stint with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. This marked the beginning of a relationship with Wynton Marsalis\, whose personal work ethic and ability to break barriers had already made a significant impact on the emerging artist. Wynton offered Sean a permanent position as lead trumpeter and Jones remained there until 2010. A highly respected and in-demand musician even while at Rutgers\, Sean was prominently featured with a number of artists\, recording and/or performing with many major figures\, including Illinois Jacquet\, Jimmy Heath\, Frank Foster\, Nancy Wilson\, Dianne Reeves\, Gerald Wilson and Marcus Miller. The relationship with Miller led to another highly impacting experience when Sean was selected by Miller\, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter for their Tribute to Miles tour in 2011. The trust and support of those giants led Sean to a decision to focus on performing with his own ensembles. Already touring and performing regularly with his own groups while at Lincoln Center\, Sean also began his longtime relationship with Mack Avenue Records\, for whom he has just released his seventh recording: im.pro.vise = never before seen. He’s currently performing with the quartet on his latest CD\, who have been working together since 2007 – with pianist Orrin Evans\, bassist Luques Curtis and drummer Obed Calvaire. But Sean is also looking toward projects with new and larger ensembles\, including orchestras. In addition\, he’s planning on more forays into the world of Western classical music\, while working on solidifying his pedagogy and increasing his lecturing and writing activities. Heavily involved in education\, Sean has recently joined the Berklee College of Music’s distinguished faculty as the Chair of the Brass Department. He has also taught at Duquesne University in his adopted hometown of Pittsburgh and at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, while regularly offering master classes and clinics all around the world. In addition\, Sean also serves as Artistic Director of both the Pittsburgh and Cleveland Jazz Orchestras and is working toward organizing the various Jazz orchestras all over the country. Sean is current Artist-in-Residence at San Francisco Performances and is a member of The SF JAZZ Collective. Clearly a passionately committed\, heavily focused and deeply spiritual man\, Sean relies upon his serious study of philosophy – especially that of 13th century theologian and mystic Meister Eckhardt; and Don Miguel Ruiz\, whose vision is drawn from the ancient wisdom of the Toltec native people of Southern Mexico – to fuel the pursuit of his expansive and generous vision. Sean currently lives in Boston with his wife Stacey. \n  \nHOW TO BE A GOOD AUDIENCE MEMBER\nIt is important that audience members remain quiet during the performance.

SUMMARY:Orion Quartet with Tara O'Connor Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a concert featuring Orion Quartet with Tara O’Connor\, flute. Tickets have been generously donated to us by our partner\, Chamber Music Pittsburgh.

Winner of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and a two-time Grammy nominee\, she is now a season artist of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. A Wm. S.

Members of the Billy Price Band are Steve Delach (guitar)\, Tom Valentine (bass)\, Dave Dodd (drums)\, Jimmy Britton (keyboards)\, and Eric DeFade (tenor sax). Billy Price first attracted national attention during his three-year association with guitarist Roy Buchanan. Price is the vocalist on two of Buchanan’s LPs\, That’s What I’m Here For and Livestock. Price assembled Billy Price and the Keystone Rhythm Band in 1977. Before their breakup in 1990\, the band recorded four critically acclaimed LPs and developed a reputation as one of the most exciting touring bands in the U.S. With the Keystone Rhythm Band\, the Billy Price Band\, and solo projects\, Billy Price has recorded and released a total of 15 albums\, CDs\, and DVDs. His album This Time for Real\, with recently deceased Chicago soul singer Otis Clay\, received a 2016 Blues Music Award by the Blues Foundation of Memphis\, Tennessee in the category of Best Soul Blues Album. A live recording of the Billy Price Band\, Alive and Strange\, was released by Nola Blues/Vizztone Label Group in April 2017.\n\nABOUT AFRO YAQUI MUSIC COLLECTIVE \nHope Academy teaching artists\, Ben Barson and Gizelxanath Rodriguez\, bring jazz\, funk and soul into dialogue with indigenous music of the 21st century.The Afro Yaqui Music Collective (AYMC) is a 9-piece outfit which descends from the ensembles of Guggenhiem award winner Fred Ho\, whose work was influenced by West African\, global Indigenous and East Asian musics. The AYMC is co-led by Gizelxanath Rodriguez\, an internationally performing soprano and activist\, who is also a winner of the 2014 ACE Award. The band is also led by her partner\, Ben Barson\, Fred Ho’s Baritone protege who “he felt has the heft and sound to represent [Ho’s] assertive approach (The New York Times).” Special guest artist\, Havana – based musician Albertico Lescay.\n \n  \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. \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.

SUMMARY:Chamber Music Pittsburgh - JUST SUMMER Concert - Chelsey Green and The Green Project
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a JUST SUMMER concert featuring Chelsey Green and The Green Project\, who tear down all stereotypes of the violin by fusing traditional classical technique with genres including R&B\, Pop\, Soul\, Funk\, Jazz\, Alternative\, Hip Hop and Gospel! . 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.\nWith performances often described as passionate\, vivacious\, electrifying\, and innovative\, Billboard charting recording artist Chelsey Green brings the unmatched tone\, richness and vibrancy of violin and viola playing to audiences in a whole new way. \nA native of Houston\, Texas\, Dr. Chelsey Green was born into a family of jazz and funk musicians and started her performance career as a violinist at age 5. Though inundated with music of all genres\, she focused on classical music studying both privately and publicly at performing arts schools in the Houston public school system. Chelsey Green was soloing in New York’s prestigious Carnegie Hall at age 16. Dr. Green went on to receive a scholarship for classical viola studies at The University of Texas at Austin where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. Green then went on to receive her Master’s Degree in Viola Performance from The Peabody Conservatory of The Johns Hopkins University and most recently received her doctorate from the University of Maryland College Park. \nChelsey Green and her ensemble\, The Green Project\, tear down all stereotypes of the violin and viola by fusing traditional classical technique with popular favorites and enticing original songs in various genres\, including R&B\, Pop\, Soul\, Funk\, Jazz\, Alternative\, Hip Hop\, Gospel and more. The Green Project showcases an innovative twist in their performances of uniquely arranged popular songs and enticing original pieces. \nChelsey Green and The Green Project have been honored to perform in many highly-regarded venues around the world. Green’s varied performance resume includes performances at the Late Show with David Letterman\, the Theater at Madison Square Garden\, NAACP National Convention\, Saint Lucia Jazz Festival\, White House Correspondents’ Dinner Reception\, BET Honors Dinner\, Essence Music Festival\, Macy’s Herald Square\, Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival\, Lake Arbor Jazz Festival\, The Howard Theatre\, The Music Center at Strathmore\, Blues Alley\, Bobby Jones Gospel\, The John F. Kennedy Center and more. \nHere is a video of the Chelsey Green and The Green Project  to give you an idea about what to expect. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qpckl5cYhU \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 \n\nJUST SUMMER performances at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater are more casual and relaxed than concerts we’ve been attending at Carnegie Music Hall\, so there isn’t a dress code. Just don’t wear anything that will be distracting (light up shoes\, clanging jewelry\, etc)\nArrive no later than 7:00 pm to get your tickets. There is a mixer that starts at 6:30 pm\, with snacks from The Livermore\, so you are welcome to come early if you would like.\n\nBefore You Take Your Seat \n\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).\n\nOnce You Take Your Seat \n\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.\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Chamber Music Pittsburgh - JUST SUMMER Concert - Miller-Porfiris Duo: Violin + Viola + Silent Films
DESCRIPTION:Hope Academy families are invited to a JUST SUMMER concert featuring Miller-Porfiris Duo on Violin + Viola playing live to classic silent films\, from the Great Train Robbery to Charlie Chaplin. 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 June 13.\nPraised by critics for their “expressive grace and finesse” and playing that is “vibrant and focused\,” the Miller-Porfiris Duo has been delighting audiences since 2005. Anton Miller\, violin and Rita Porfiris\, viola first met over 20 years ago while studying at the Juilliard School. The duo has given concerts and masterclasses at festivals and institutions across the United States\, Central America\, and Europe; recent residencies and masterclasses have seen them at Duke University\, Kutztown University\, the Foulger Festival\, PointCounterpoint\, the Iceland Arts Academy\, the Chamber Society of Little Rock\, Sheldon Friends of Chamber Music\, Music on the Hill Rhode Island\, and the St. George International Festival. \nCommitted to expanding the repertoire for violin and viola\, in 2010 they commissioned and recorded 3 new works for violin and viola by Belize-born British composer Errollyn Wallen\, Argentinean composer Mario Diaz Gavier\, and American composer Libby Larsen for their debut CD “Five Postcards.” Their second CD\, titled “Eight Pieces” (music of Bruch and Gliere)\, released in 2013\, was deemed a “fine new recording” and praised for its “wonderfully smooth ensemble work” by Gramophone and Audible Audiophile magazines. Rita also received accolades for her transcription for violin and viola of Reinhold Gliere’s Eight Pieces Op. 39. Their third CD\, “Divertimenti\,” was released in early 2016 and has already received airplay on radio stations across the country. Highlights of recent seasons included sold-out performances of the Mozart Sinfonia Concertante\, Bruch Double Concerto with Lincoln’s Symphony and a performance of the rarely performed Arthur Benjamin Romantic Fantasy for Violin and Viola with the Concert Artists of Baltimore. \nHere is a video of  Miller-Porfinis playing along with a clip from The Great Train Robbery. \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 \n\nJUST SUMMER performances at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater are more casual and relaxed than concerts we’ve been attending at Carnegie Music Hall\, so there isn’t a dress code. Just don’t wear anything that will be distracting (light up shoes\, clanging jewelry\, etc)\nArrive no later than 7:00 pm to get your tickets. There is a mixer that starts at 6:30 pm\, with snacks from The Livermore\, so you are welcome to come early if you would like.\n\nBefore You Take Your Seat \n\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).\n\nOnce You Take Your Seat \n\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.
