|
|
The Red Rocks Music Festival is proud to present three magnificent musical presentations during the 7th annual event, including Baroque to Blue, Music Under Totalitarian Regime, and Classical Meets Jazz. Performance dates are August 23, 30, and 31, with each performance starting at 7:30 p.m. All concerts will be held at the Sedona & Verde Valley Jewish Community Center. The second event, ¡°Music Under Totalitarian Regime,¡± is a performance filled with the masterpieces created during the Holocaust and in Communist Russia. A beautiful and poignant performance, audiences will hear and see the somber accounts of men, women and children living in the darkest of times. Performers include David Ehrlich, a native Israeli and violinist since the age 13. Ehrlich was appointed by the President of Virginia Tech as a ¡°University Fellow of Fine Arts.¡± Ehrlich and his wife Theresa (pianist), direct the Renaissance Academy in Virginia as well as the ¡°Musica Viva¡± concert series. Rami Solomonow, another esteemed artist, plays the viola. Solomonow studied with Shmuel Ashkenasi (a former performer in the Red Rocks Music Festival) and has performed as a soloist all around the globe. Currently Solomonow is a professor of viola at De Paul University, Chicago. The festival will also feature three cellists ¡ª Thomas Landschoot, professor of cello at Arizona State University, Jan Simiz, cellist with the Phoenix Symphony, and Michael Center. ¡°Classical Meets Jazz,¡± the third Sedona event, brings together two distinguished musicians, coincidentally husband and wife, each with their own musical style. Russell Schmidt has held the titles of ¡°director of jazz activities¡± and ¡°associate professor¡± in his vast experience at schools including Arizona State University and the University of North Carolina. Schmidt has conducted the Eastman Studio Orchestra and has served as a keyboard soloist for over 30 orchestras including performances with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center and with the San Francisco Symphony. Schmidt is currently the director of the jazz department at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and is the artistic director for the Toledo Jazz Orchestra. Wife and violist, Nancy Buck, holds degrees in performance from the Oberlin Conservatory. Her extensive experience in concert performance includes appearances in concert with the Aspen Music Festival, the Sarasota Music Festival, and the Schleswig Holstein Music Festival. Buck is a professor of viola at Arizona State University. Schmidt and Buck will set the stage afire with the diverse sound of classical music intertwined with the upbeat, fun sound of jazz.
