Mallarmé Music

Elizabeth Kahn Memorial Concert
2022-03-13 13:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | North Carolina Museum of Art – SECU Auditorium, 2110 Blue Ridge Rd, Raleigh, NC, 27607, United States
Presented by Chamber Music Raleigh featuring the
Mallarmé Chamber Players

Daughter of a New York music critic, the late Paul Affelder, Elizabeth Kahn led a charmed life growing up attending any and all concerts, operas and theater free ​in critics’ seats. She majored in voice and piano at Brandeis University and continued at Brandeis as a graduate student in musicology. She transferred to Harvard University, where she received her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature, studying the relationship between music and text. Over the last 30 years she has worked with many non-profit organizations in the area, especially Chamber Music Raleigh and Arts Access. She and her husband, Joe, owned Word Pros, a concert program note service. Joe Kahn, pictured above with Elizabeth, marks his 50th year supporting Chamber Music Raleigh and will present a eulogy at the start of the program. The program was in part chosen by Elizabeth during her brief illness last Fall. Mallarme mourns the loss of Elizabeth and honors her service to the arts in North Carolina.

Bluegrass Blend with Hank, Pattie & The Current VIRTUALLY

DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM NOTES: 9-2-21 Program Pages FINAL
Violinists Jacqueline Wolborsky and Jeanine Wynton, violist Suzanne Rousso and cellist Bonnie Thron join two of North Carolina’s veteran bluegrass musicians– Hank Smith on Banjo and Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw on fiddle— to create modern, American, acoustic music featuring the full range of their talents as composers and arrangers.
The band, Hank, Pattie & the Current, makes use of traditional bluegrass instrumentation in a nontraditional way to present original music to the listener that goes beyond the limits of the idiom. The arrangements take on a new level of maturation that follows in the footsteps of Bela Fleck, Mark O’Connor, Chris Thile, Sam Bush, Edgar Meyer, and Tony Rice. Hank, Pattie & The Current want to pick up where seminal crossover groups like The Punch Brothers, Strength In Numbers and the ever-changing Bluegrass Allstars call home. The music is vocal and instrumental, allowing the band to experiment with arrangements and tailor the compositions to become vehicles for exploration. Hank Smith plays banjo, Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw plays fiddle and is lead vocalist. The Current includes Billie Feather on guitar and Stevie Martinez on bass.
In addition to joining the band in their music, Mallarme will perform quartet arrangements of “Amazing Grace” by Jennifer Higdon, ” At the Purchaser’s Option” by Rhiannon Giddens, “Sweeter Than Wine” by Ken Benshoof and “Fisher’s Hornpipe” by Mark O’Connor.

LECTURE: How the Early Music Movement Got to be HIP (FREE)
plus a period-instrumental Zoo!
Richard and Judith Fox – presenters
The Early Music Movement was mainly a post- WWII development, whose mission was to challenge and reform the repertoire and performance practices of Western Classical Music. Early music performers rediscovered forgotten repertoire, recovered premodern instruments , followed performance practices at variance from modern musicianship, and altered the relationship between performer and listener by their style, dress, and playing locales. Initially, the Early Music Movement, like all social movements, depended on “charismatic” zeal and attracted performers with diverse objectives and orientations. Arnold Dolmetsch, David Munroe, and Noah Greenberg represent this diversity, and we will see/hear examples of the Early Music they championed. Over the last 75 years, many of their innovations have become accepted by contemporary performers, and we will see/hear examples of this new mainstream. “Historically informed performance” or “HIP” is their label today for a creative translation of past music that respects its differences from present practice. The talk will be illustrated with many musical examples and there will be a “petting zoo” of instruments from the past to try afterward (none that bite or claw, however).

A Series of Unfortunate Musical Events with Low and Lower
2019-10-11 19:30 - 21:30 | First Presbyterian Church Durham, 305 E Main St., Durham, NC, 27701, United States
Low & Lower, Brooks Whitehouse – cello and Paul Sharpe – bass, America’s #1 selling cello/bass duo celebrates its popular mashup of comedy, virtuosity and satire with a new show, A Series of Unfortunate Musical Events.
The show centers around a musical settings of two great adventure tales from the wilds of Alaska. In his musical morality play Eagle Feather, Paul Sharpe warns in epic verse of the moral and legal perils of transporting the body parts of endangered species across state lines. From the open waters of Alaska’s scenic Kachemak Bay to the suburban comforts of small town North Carolina, this modern classic pits the deep love of nature and of family against the deeper fear of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
From this we move to Robert Service’s timeless classic The Cremation of Sam McGee in a dramatic setting by composer John Allemeier – recited, sung and otherwise delivered by Low & Lower with tragedy, irony and humor as it has never been delivered before. This imaginative take on an old favorite moves seamlessly from recitative to fiddle tune to country ballad in an expansive telling of this tale of arctic redemption.
