VIOLINS OF HOPE, book reading by James Grymes
2017-11-02 19:00 - 20:30 | NC
James Grymes, “Violins of Hope: Violins of the Holocaust — Instruments of Hope and Liberation”

The Regulator welcomes music historian James Grymes for a reading and book signing of his new book, Violins of Hope: Violins of the Holocaust–Instruments of Hope and Liberation in Mankind’s Darkest Hour. Grymes tells the remarkable stories about violins played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust, and Amnon Weinstein, the renowned Israeli violin maker dedicated to bringing these inspirational instruments back to life. Weinstein has dedicated the past 20 years to restoring these violins of the Holocaust in tribute to those who were lost, including 400 members of his own family. Juxtaposing tales of individual violins with one man’s harrowing struggle to reconcile his own family’s history and the history of his people, Violins of Hope is a poignant, affecting, and ultimately uplifting look at the Holocaust and its enduring impact.
Violins of Hope is a National Jewish Book Award winner. The Mallarme Chamber Players will perform a concert, Violins of Hope, inspired by Grymes’s book, at The Judea Reform Temple in Durham on November 9; for ticket information: http://mallarmemusic.org/?event=series-concert-2-violins-of-hope&event_date=2017-11-09.
The author reading and booksigning at The Regulator on Nov. 2 at 7PM is free and open the the public (no tickets required). The Mallarme Chamber Players’ Nov. 9 concert at Judea Reform Temple requires tickets that can be purchased here: http://mallarmemusic.org/?event=series-concert-2-violins-of-hope&event_date=2017-11-09.

NC HIP FESTIVAL PREVIEW LECTURE
2018-02-02 15:00 - 16:15 | NC
With Dr. Jonathan Kramer
Historical performance practices or HIP, is the presentation of music in a style we believe is representative of how a work was heard at the time it was written. The 2018 NC HIP Music Festival will present musical performances and events centered around these practices with period instruments from the Baroque and Renaissance periods. Dr. Jonathan Kramer from NC State and Duke universtiy, will speak about the HIP movement in the last 30 years. He will reveal the differences between historical and modern performance, how standards of early music performance are determined (since we have no musical recordings from the 17th century) and the development of musical instruments from Renaissance to the 19th century.

Beyond the Practice Room: practical and business strategies for professional musicians
2019-03-03 09:30 - 16:00 | NC
The Mallarmé Chamber Players will present a one-day workshop for professional musicians on Sunday, March 3, 2019 taught by professionals from the Creative Capital.This workshop is supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, as part of its commitment to artists’ professional development. It has partnered with Creative Capital for the past 15 years to bring high-quality training opportunities to North Carolina artists in all disciplines.
Creative Capital’s intensive one day career development workshop will cover the topics of strategic planning, business management, goal setting, negotiations, collaborations and marketing– all geared towards the specific needs and circumstances of musicians and composers. Participants will learn key business, management, and communications skills and hear first-hand from artists how these tools can be used to achieve success—as they define it. In addition to lecture presentations, participants participate in interactive exercises, hear artist case studies, have the opportunity to meet with leaders in small working groups, and are given a Strategic Planning workbook to help guide their process. The workshop will be co-led by musician/composer and Creative Capital Awardee artist Byron Au Yong and strategic planning consultant Colleen Keegan.
The day will start with coffee at 9:30 am at MDC in downtown Durham (307 W Main St, Durham, NC 27701). The workshop will run from 10 am – 4:30 pm and will include lunch.
