SUMMARY:Sons of the Pioneers
DESCRIPTION:The Sons of the Pioneers\, formed in 1934\, is known as the original “singing cowboy” band instrumental in creating the earliest sounds of western music. Founded by Roy Rogers (then known as Leonard Slye)\, Bob Nolan and Time Spencer the band has remained together continuously since then\, rotating a total of 46 members over the years. This award-winning\, legendary band continues to gain fans young and old\, playing original favorites like Cool Water and Tumbling Tumbleweeds along with gems from the early days. These five talent-infused musicians (including Roy Roger’s son) continue to add a new level of energy to this classic genre\, taking audiences time-traveling into the great American west with them. Who are the Sons of the Pioneers\, and how can they call themselves “legends of Western music”? The short answer is that they Sons of the Pioneers singularly built a new genre and library of music that is an American original\, one that has become synonymous with the American West\, and that continues to enthrall generations of listeners worldwide. Although others have followed\, although others have openly emulated them and have subsequently added to the genre of Western music\, the Pioneers were the first and the best. They are an essential part of Americana. \nWhen you think of the West you think of natural beauty\, a cultural mind-set and a very distinctive type of music. The term evokes the image of the singing cowboy and of songs that paint vivid mental pictures of tumbling tumbleweeds\, cool water\, tall timber and that ornery strawberry roan. The West has always had its lore and its heroes\, but until the 1930s a distinct type of music was not part of that lore. Starting in the early 1930s the film and radio industry changed all that forever. \nFrom the earliest days of the film industry the cowboy has been a favorite movie subject. Westerns became the bread and butter of most early studios. When musical segments were added to broaden a movie’s interest the “singing cowboy” was born\, and it created mega stardom for people like Gene Autry\, Roy Rogers\, Tex Ritter and Rex Allen. Enter the Sons of the Pioneers in 1934. \nThe Pioneers were different right from the start. While most Western screen stars were singing traditional sweetheart songs\, the Sons of the Pioneers sang about the West itself. Their songs painted unforgettable images and stories of horses\, cattle\, cowboys\, night herds\, canyons and prairies. Many of these songs were original compositions freshly penned by founding members Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer. Together with Roy Rogers (then known as Leonard Sly) they created a whole new library of music. The group and their music garnered millions of national and international fans through appearances in over 90 movies\, numerous radio shows\, major label recording projects and later television appearances. \nSongs from the Pioneer catalog have been recorded and used by a long list of who’s who in the music industry that includes Bing Crosby\, the Boston Pops\, Dina Ross and the Supremes\, Frankie Laine\, Johnny Cash\, Riders in the Sky\, Michael Martin Murphy\, the Muppets. The Coen brothers featured “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” in their classic movie “The Big Lebowski.” Their signature songs have been recorded so many times by so many different artists that some people lose track of the fact these songs “belong to” the Pioneers. \nThe Sons of the Pioneers inspired the creation of countless Western singing groups. As Doug Green of Riders in the Sky put it\, “Any of us who sing Western music\, it all goes back to the Pioneers.” \nThey have accumulated more honors and awards than any other group or performer in Western music\, including coveted awards from the Country Music Association\, Academy of Country Music\, Western Music Association and National Cowboy Hall of Fame. \nToday the Sons of the Pioneers are still mesmerizing long-term fans and creating new ones. They continue to play to sell-out crowds and standing ovations. New fans are attracted by the current members’ musical ability and by those songs that haunt you long after the concert with the mystique of the great American West. As Doug Green said\, “It’s not something that is connected to hit records and charts and fads. It’s just an eternal interest in the American West and they sing about it beautifully and it’s written beautifully and that’s something that just will never go out of style.”

SUMMARY:Kassia Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:A rare combination of string quartet—2 violins\, viola and cello—and trumpet\, the Kassia Strings\, joined by  renowned trumpeter Mary Bowden\, offer a unique and bold program of classical favorites.The poet and hymnographer Kassia was a byzantine abbess in the 9th century. A woman born into a wealthy family\, she is said to have been in the running to marry the Emperor Theophilus. The emperor\, however\, found her too witty and chose another. Kassia went on to found an abbey and became a prolific composer\, one of the first in medieval history of either gender whose scores are both extant and able to be understood in modern notation. It is her spirit that the Kassia Ensemble seeks to emulate. \nThe composition of the full ensemble is quite unique\, being that of the traditional string quartet\, plus double bass\, clarinet\, and harp. This alternate format features renowned trumpeter Mary Bowden along with the Kassia strings\, for a quintet ensemble. The Kassia Ensemble features Dawn Posey (Violin)\, Ashley Freeburn (Violin)\, Si Yu (Viola)\, and Katya Janpoladyan (Cello)

SUMMARY:Janoska Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:This Vienna-based quartet of 2 violins\, piano\, and bass is the personification of virtuosity.  Their thrilling program will blend standards of the classical repertoire with revelatory jazz influences and a bit of the Beatles.  And when played by these 3 brothers and their brother-in-law\, it becomes magical for every audience. ?True art knows no frontiers\, and the music of the three brothers from Bratislava—Ondrej\, František and Roman Janoska—and their Konstanz-born brother-in-law\, Julius Darvas\, proves that in remarkable fashion. Their musical creations happily harmonize or colorfully contrast their classical fach with the music of other genres—from jazz and Latin to pop music. The consequence is not a mix of styles\, however\, it is a creative synthesis: the Janoska Style.

SUMMARY:Intersection Trio
DESCRIPTION:A typical evening with Intersection may center on a Ravel\, Dvorák or Brahms trio\, but will veer into previously unexplored byroads. A Hungarian thread present in the Brahms may be further spun into a sequence of Gypsy tunes\, Dvorak into slavic dance forms\, Ravel into the ethereal world of sensuous French song. American music\, crucial to Intersection’s repertoire\, is presented in musical forms spanning the most avant garde of compositions to lighter fare such as excerpts of film music and popular theater and song. Various solos and duos add to the aural variety.Intersection are reknowned for the new catalog of trio works that they have directly inspired. These works\, substantial but immediately accessible\, figure prominently in their programs. Energetic young composers such as Patrick Zimmerli\, Kenji Bunch\, Dan Coleman\, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Novacek himself have all contributed to the catalog\, and one hallmark common to much of this music is a suggestion of the trio’s hometown\, New York City\, in its vitality\, verve\, and diversity. \nKristina\, Laura and John have individually achieved enviable successes as solists and chamber musicians in the world of classical music\, but each have effectively ventured beyond circumscribed artistic borders\, exploring new music\, world music\, jazz and pop. The uniqueness of the group is in tapping to the full these highly varied backgrounds\, in shows that seamlessly fuse the traditional and the surprising\, the premeditated and the improvisatory\, and of course their easy verbal interplay with each other and with the audience. An evening with Intersection is a virtual collaboration between artists and audience.
