Yacobs Royz Duo (Maria Yacubovich, Alexey Rozov) Дуэт "Роза Якова" (Мария Якубович, Алексей Розов) "Жила-была сказка", еврейская колыбельная, Открытая репетиция в клубе Арт'Эрия 23 мая 2017 года. Однажды, на заре христианства у славянских народов, в Польшу забрел странствующий купец, еврей Абрам Проховник. Приняли его хлебом-солью и упросили стать королем – дескать, было у них знамение свыше, что король явится народу в виде странника. Сутки правил Абрам и остался в истории как «король на день». Наутро он был убит и брошен собакам. Жила-была сказка, Сказка несчастливая, Сказка началась С еврейского короля. Припев: Тише, моя маленькая птичка, Тише, дитя мое, Я потеряла такую любовь, О, горе мне. У короля была королева, У королевы – виноградник, В винограднике –дерево, Тише, дитя мое. У дерева – ветка, На ветке – гнездо. В гнезде жила птичка, Тише, дитя мое. Тише, моя маленькая птичка ... Король умер, Королева удалилась от мира, Ветка сломалась, Гнездо опустело, Птичка улетела.

Virtual Live performing - what can go wrong? What are the ways to prepare the troubleshooting so even the most complex live multicast will go smooth and stress-free? Transmisión en vivo por Internet Preguntas más frecuentes ¿Puede salir mal algo durante mi actuación? Si. Algo puede salir mal. Live Virtual Stage y Live Virtual Concert Hall son inventos relativamente nuevos de la humanidad, y la televisión por Internet no había existido por mucho más de una década. Las conexiones / integraciones tecnológicas son complejas, constan de muchos elementos que deben hacerse para trabajar juntos en sincronía en tiempo real. Los equipos de producción de VCHS están formados por personas muy experimentadas que dirigieron más de 600 transmisiones en vivo con miles de participantes. Se les ha llamado "Harry Potter de música en vivo en un escenario virtual". Serás atendido por algunos de los mejores profesionales de la industria. Pero aún así, ¡las cosas PUEDEN salir mal durante tu actuación! ¿Qué puede ir mal? ¿Qué esperar si algo sale mal? ¿Qué? Durante su verificación técnica, nuestros productores pueden encontrar que su tecnología no puede funcionar de manera adecuada o confiable. Soluciones Le ofreceremos reprogramar para la próxima fecha / sesión disponible. Le daremos instrucciones sobre lo que debe hacer para estar preparado. ¿Qué? La tecnología puede fallar mientras espera su turno en la Sala Verde, o mientras está en la Competencia entre bastidores, o incluso justo antes de su turno. Soluciones Lo guiaremos a través de los pasos que necesita. Vigile de cerca el chat interno en Broadcast Studio y siga las instrucciones de los productores. ¡No dejarás de actuar en tu sesión! Cambiaremos el orden de las actuaciones y actuarás más tarde en la misma sesión. ¿Qué? Después de que nuestros productores afinen la configuración de su tecnología y completen sus verificaciones de tecnología de audio / video, pasará a la competencia entre bastidores. Su tecnología puede volver automáticamente a la configuración predeterminada durante la transición Soluciones Tome notas cuidadosas durante su verificación técnica, verifique dos veces para asegurarse de que su configuración sea la misma, antes de ingresar a la competencia Backstage. “Hice todo bien y de acuerdo con las recomendaciones de su productor. ¿Todavía puede salir mal algo durante mi actuación? " Es poco probable, pero algo aún puede salir mal. Como se mencionó anteriormente: la actuación virtual en vivo se basa en tecnología joven y de vanguardia, y requiere que muchas piezas complejas de un rompecabezas funcionen en sincronía Y en tiempo real. Es un viaje que puede no ser el más adecuado para usted si es propenso al pánico escénico, o espera sentirse traumatizado si necesita lidiar con un cambio repentino de cómo se desarrollan las cosas. Tenga en cuenta sus propios sentimientos y no corra riesgos innecesarios. El escenario virtual seguirá desarrollándose y eventualmente será tan confiable como la electricidad en una sala de conciertos física. ¡Siempre se puede esperar un poco más para que la tecnología alcance esa etapa de perfección! Ahora damos por sentado nuestras salas de conciertos bellamente iluminadas, ¿no es así? Pero 10-20 años después de la invención de Edison, no se veían tan gloriosos como hoy. Sus conciertos nocturnos estaban iluminados por un revoltijo de cables de los que colgaban unas gafas de aspecto extraño que emitían una luz amarillenta parpadeante y, a veces, se apagaban por completo. "¿Qué hará su equipo técnico si algo sucede mientras yo actúo?" No dejaremos que su interpretación se vea o suene con una calidad insatisfactoria, se "congele", se "silencia", etc. En su lugar, haremos lo siguiente: Interrumpe tu actuación Sacarte del escenario Darle acceso al enlace a nuestra Sala técnica de resolución de problemas Nuestros productores trabajarán con usted para resolver los problemas. Si podemos resolver los problemas en un tiempo razonable, lo llevaremos de regreso al escenario y tendrá otra oportunidad de realizar su programa en la misma sesión. Si los problemas persisten y no podemos resolverlos allí mismo, reprogramaremos su presentación para la próxima fecha / sesión disponible. "Tengo una conexión WiFi excelente y rápida, un iPad de nueva generación y he estudiado / enseñado en línea durante 2 años. No se preocupe, estoy bien preparado para su transmisión, no hay nada que pueda salir mal por mi parte". Desafortunadamente, las cosas aún pueden salir mal: Los iPad no son adecuados para la transmisión de televisión por Internet, la tecnología de un iPad no admite la conexión a un estudio de transmisión y la transmisión de música en vivo. Esté preparado para usar una computadora portátil o de escritorio. La conexión WiFi, aunque a menudo funciona, puede volverse poco confiable y no mantener la transmisión durante la duración de su rendimiento, sin importar qué tan rápido. Se recomienda encarecidamente la conexión por cable Ethernet, ya que proporciona estabilidad a su señal. Tanto la velocidad como la estabilidad son esenciales para la transmisión de calidad de una interpretación musical en vivo. Sin embargo, la conexión WiFi puede funcionar bien. Solo esté preparado para que la transmisión realizada a través de una conexión WiFi pueda carecer de consistencia en comparación con la transmisión de personas que pueden conectarse a un enrutador con conexión a tierra mediante un cable Ethernet. Ok, tengo el cable Ethernet, ahora estamos listos, ¿verdad? Casi. Asegúrese de que su cable esté conectado al enrutador con conexión a tierra. Consulte nuestra plataforma de recomendaciones sobre cómo identificar que realmente se está conectando al tipo correcto de enrutador. Si se está conectando a un enrutador basado en Wi-Fi, a un amplificador basado en Wi-Fi u otro dispositivo de Internet que no está conectado a su proveedor mediante un cable con conexión a tierra, no está mejorando la conexión mediante el uso de un cable Ethernet. La lógica es simple: el cable Ethernet se usa con el propósito de eliminar la conexión inalámbrica a Internet en cualquier punto de la cadena.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Heritage and Harmony: Silver Linings, an Album Spotlighting Music by Under- Represented Composers, Will Be Released on May 1st New EP Featuring AAPI/BIPOC Artists Aims to Promote Understanding and Tolerance and Combat Racism New York, NY—April 26, 2021 On May 1st, pianist and music producer Donna Weng Friedman will be releasing the EP album Heritage and Harmony: Silver Linings. The album, which will be available on Spotify, Amazon, Tidal and other online outlets, is intended as a response to the wave of violence against Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) individuals, and aims to promote understanding and tolerance among people of all backgrounds. It features Ms. Weng Friedman and soprano Indira Mahajan performing music by composers Margaret Bonds, Beata Moon, Florence B. Price, and Chinary Ung. The performers and composers are all members of the AAPI and/or BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) communities. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/donnawengfriedman/heritage-and-harmony-silver-linings The album’s release date is timed to coincide with the start of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. “I am an Asian American concert pianist, and like so many of us, my heart aches from the ongoing hate crimes against our AAPI community,” says Ms. Weng Friedman. “Each piece on this EP album helped get me through the pandemic year, which started with my being assaulted on the street of New York City for being Asian, and ended with my entire family getting sick with COVID-19.” All proceeds from the album will be donated to the Korean American Community Foundation (KACF) an organization that supports the AAPI community through philanthropy and education. “The KAFC is committed to fighting for diversity, equity and inclusion, and will not tolerate racism on any level,” notes Ms. Weng Friedman. “I learned an incredible amount from their virtual information sessions, talks and panels over the last year.” She adds, “My hope is that this album will resonate with people of all ethnicities who are looking for a way to help support our AAPI community. By listening to each track on Heritage and Harmony: Silver Linings, they can enjoy the glorious music of incredible but under-represented BIPOC composers and musicians while also making a small but valuable contribution to the AAPI community.” For more information, contact: Donna Weng Friedman donnawengfriedman@gmail.com Reproducir video Reproducir video 53:21 Sadie Goodman, flute - Sound Espressivo Laureates' Recital Program: 2:57 Jules Mouquet - La Flûte de Pan (I.
