Hope Academy Winter Term Recitals
2019-03-17 13:30 - 17:30 | PA
The following studios will have recitals on Sunday, March 17:

1:30 pm: Kathleen Andrews and Jennifer O’Konski (Suzuki Violin), Ana Diaz (cello)

3:30 pm: Patricia Pavlack and the Suzuki Association of Pittsburgh

Recitals 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.
There 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.
COOKIE RECEPTION
Each 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.
RECITAL ETIQUETTE
Learning 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.
Performer Etiquette

Dress appropriately. Choose conservative over casual in terms of shoe styles, hem length of dresses and straps for tops.
Avoid jewelry that makes noise as you move; heels that are difficult to walk in; and sleeves that get in the way of playing.
Be 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.
Be prepared. Make sure you have your music, instrument and any necessary accessories before leaving home (bow, rosin, capo, tuner, etc.)
Be respectful. Refrain from whispering, talking, or using electronic devices. Show the other performers the same courtesy you want to be shown.
Enter 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.

Audience Etiquette

Arrive on time or a little early. Late arrivals are distracting to the audience, and they can be unnerving for the performer.
Turn 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.
Do 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.
Take 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.
Do not talk, whisper, rattle papers or eat during the recital.
Stay for the entire performance to show respect for all of the musicians.

Photos and Video

No flash photography, please
A group photo, with the teacher, will be taken at the end of each recital session.

ARTEMIS STRING QUARTET
Vineta Sareika – violin
Anthea Kreston – violin
Gregor Sigl – viola
Eckart Runge – violoncello
PROGRAM
Barber Adagio from Quartet No. 1, Op. 11
Britten Quartet No. 2 in C major, Op. 36
Schubert Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810 “Death and the Maiden”

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Artemis Quartet gives concerts for all great musical centres and international festivals in Europe, the United States, Asia, South America and Australia. Since 2004 the ensemble creates own cycles at the chamber music hall of Berlin Philharmonie, since 2011 at Wiener Konzerthaus (together with Belcea Quartet) and with the beginning of season 2016/2017 at Prince Regent Theatre Munich.
From the beginning the collaboration with musical colleagues has been a major inspiration for the ensemble. Thus, Artemis Quartet has toured with notable musicians such as Sabine Meyer, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Juliane Banse and Jörg Widmann. Various recordings document the artistic cooperation with several partners, for example the piano quintets by Schuhmann and Brahms with Leif Ove Andsnes, the Schubert quintet with Truls Mørk or Arnold Schönberg’s ’Verklärte Nacht’ with Thomas Kakuska and Valentin Erben from Alban Berg Quartet.
HOW TO BE A GOOD AUDIENCE MEMBER
It 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.
Before the Concert
Wear 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)
Arrive no later than 7:00 pm to get your tickets.
Before You Take Your Seat
Take care of all rest room needs.
Leave all food, drink, and gum outside, in the lobby.
Leave all cameras and recording devices outside, as well. There are strict copyright guidelines about recording concerts.
Turn 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).
Once You Take Your Seat
A parent or guardian must sit next to each child.
Remain seated and quiet while the musicians are playing. Do not get up during the concert or change seats.
No talking, whispering, sighing, tapping or kicking feet, or rattling of programs or papers.
Be sure to sit without fidgeting so you don’t distract your neighbors or the performers on stage.
Feel 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!

Heretics, Doubters, and Other Saints
2019-04-14 12:00 - 14:00 | East Liberty Presbyterian Church, 116 S. Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States
Because what we believe has everything to do with how we pray, the Spiritual Life Committee (SLC) welcomes you to the next gathering of our Heretics, Doubters and Other Saints group.
Do you secretly think that if everyone actually knew what you believe—and what you do NOT believe—that you would not be welcome in church? Do you have some deep seated doubts about certain parts of the Christian story? Do you have to cross your fingers when you recite parts of the Apostle’s Creed? Well, you may feel like you are alone; but, you are not.
Tennyson famously said it, “There lives more faith in honest doubt, than in half the creeds.” And it is in that spirit that the SLC presents this quarterly time to come together with others who have also been carrying around their secret doubts and questions, to talk about the wide breadth of theology within the Presbyterian church, and to explore how your personal faith might be more complete.
We will share a light lunch and ask questions together. Remember, there are no right or wrong thoughts here.

The Arsenal Duo
Pittsburgh musicians Nathan Carterette (piano) and Edward Alan Moore (organ) have joined forces as The Arsenal Duo, presenting concerts that unite their respective instruments in a unique and spectacular fashion. They draw from a diverse repertoire, including works originally for piano and orchestra; works original to piano and organ; their own transcriptions; and solo offerings.
Formed in 2013, The Arsenal Duo made their debut performance at Youngstown, Ohio’s historic Stambaugh Auditorium, where they attracted one of the largest audiences since the restoration of the hall’s E.M. Skinner pipe organ. The duo returned to Stambaugh to record several tracks for a forthcoming recording. They have also been presented at Pittsburgh’s East Liberty Presbyterian Church and Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Christ Episcopal Church in Warren, Ohio, and National City Christian Church in Washington, DC.
The 2015-2016 season had the duo playing concerts in Colorado, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The 2016-2017 season includes concerts in New Canaan, CT, Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA, Dearborn, MI, Tarentum, PA, and an invitation to return to Stambaugh Auditorium on July 3, 2017 as featured performers for the Great Lakes Regional Convention of the American Guild of Organists.
Nathan Carterette
Hailed as “wonderfully poetic,” (Westfalen Post) and “very compelling in his power and presence” (International Composer), Nathan Carterette has distinguished himself in the concert world by performing a huge range of works from Elizabethan keyboard music to music written today. His innovative programming has inspired audiences to approach unfamiliar music with open ears, and familiar music with new appreciation.
Mr. Carterette has performed in such venues as Weill Recital Hall and the Yamaha Piano Salon of New York City, the Gasteig in Munich, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe of Hamburg, and Cleveland’s Trinity Cathedral. He has been presented in several universities such as the Berklee School of Music, Cleveland Institute of Music, Radford University, Drake University, Baldwin Wallace Conservatory, and Carnegie Mellon.
Educated at Yale University, where he studied with Boris Berman, Mr. Carterette began his piano studies at the age of eleven with Cleveland’s legendary Birute and Anthony Smetona. A chance encounter in 2004 with Welsh composer-pianist Dafydd Llywelyn led to an invitation for intensive private study in Germany, both of the traditional repertoire and Llywelyn’s works.
Edward Alan Moore
Edward Alan Moore, native of Girard, OH, is Organist/Music Director at East Liberty Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, PA. Previously he was a member of the organ faculty at The Catholic University of America Benjamin T. Rome School of Music in Washington, DC, Director of Music Ministries at The Lewinsville Presbyterian Church in McLean, VA, and Minister of Music at National City Christian Church in Washington, DC. He received the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in organ performance from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, studying organ with Michael Farris, improvisation with Gerre Hancock and Richard Erickson, and serving as research assistant for Professor Wm. A. Little.
As a recitalist, Dr. Moore was the first organist chosen to perform on the Millennium Stage concert series at the Kennedy Center in 2004. Other recitals include those at Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue in New York City, the Cathedral of Saint Philip in Atlanta, Princeton University Chapel, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, and the Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, MI.
In the past few years Dr. Moore’s performance schedule included concerts at various locations in the Pittsburgh area and at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine and the Riverside Church in New York City. As a choral accompanist, he has been the featured organist with the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh, where his performance was described as “lucid and often glorious” by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
