En profundidad Hay mucha música que ha resistido edades y generaciones, pero esa música alguna vez fue nueva y innovador, compuesto o interpretado de una manera que nunca antes se había escuchado o visto. Sin nuevos, no puede haber progreso a nuevas alturas y descubrimientos. La parte difícil es siempre encontrar algo nuevo que pueda conectar a la audiencia con tu idea y hacer que puedan seguirla y unirse a tu tren de transformación en movimiento. Criterios generales Nuevo : el propósito de la innovación es intentar explorar nuevas formas de expresar y entregar música que enriquezcan nuestra experiencia desde un nuevo ángulo. Esto es fundamental. Cohesivo : todos los elementos de lo que está haciendo deben estar cuidadosamente agrupados para que pueda encadenar a otros en su viaje, especialmente a las personas que pueden no llegar a la comprensión de la misma manera que lo hiciste. Significado : todas las necesidades nuevas deben tener un objetivo más grande que simplemente ser diferente y "no haberlo hecho antes". Necesita servir y expresar un significado y conectarse con un sentimiento y la audiencia. Resonante : la última y muy importante parte de crear nuevas interpretaciones y búsquedas creativas es que sea lo suficientemente claro de manera innata como para que realmente pueda impactarnos y llamar la atención.

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 48:58 Mio Imai, violin - Sound Espressivo Laureates' Recital Accompanied by Mark Livshits, piano 3:16 Lalo - Symphonie Espagnole (I.

Is your art and music swift enough? Find out here! Sound Espressivo is the first online LIVE streaming Competition for classical musicians of all ages. Contestants and judges focus on unique artistry of every performer, awarding prizes offered by music management companies. rápido Muestra velocidades increíbles y sorpréndete con tu juego nítido! En profundidad Tocar música es tan atlético como cualquier deporte, y requiere una gran cantidad de precisión y entrenamiento para perfeccionar el arte. Algunos músicos encuentran emoción en llevar los límites de la ejecución rápida a niveles más allá nuestra imaginación y comprensión, mostrando al mundo de lo que somos capaces los humanos. Los intérpretes rápidos trabajan para llevar el metrónomo a su punto de ruptura e impresionar de una manera clara. Criterios generales Tempo extremo: la velocidad de cambio entre notas y la coordinación más rápida es uno de los dos componentes clave para impresionar al club de los intérpretes veloces. Precisión extrema: la precisión de cada nota y cambio es el otro componente clave para una interpretación llamativa. Presentación maravillosa: tocar rápido es una cosa, pero ver como si no hubieras sudado al hacerlo y tal vez tuvieras tiempo para guiñar un ojo a la multitud puede realmente llevar el calor a la audiencia. Consistencia: mantenerse llamativo es genial, pero hacerlo durante toda la duración de una pieza y probar trabajos más grandes y más duros sin vacilar es mostrar un verdadero dominio.

Sound Espressivo helps UNICEF provide help to children in Ukraine. SEC is the first online LIVE streaming Competition for musicians of all ages. Contestants and judges focus on unique artistry of every performer, awarding prizes offered by music management companies. Donate to UNICEF Follow us on socials! Big thank you to all supporters! We are extremely grateful everyone who donated funds, produced the event, helped get the public aware and informed. The Fundraiser was a great tribute to human empathy and collaboration. This campaign is now closed CHICAGO’S UKRAINIAN INSTITUTE FOR MODERN ART PARTNERS WITH VIRTUAL CONCERT HALLS TO HOST A LIVE GLOBAL INTERNET BROADCAST TO BENEFIT UNICEF USA All Funds Raised will Support Emergency and Humanitarian Aid for Ukrainian Families and Children Suffering from the Devastation of War Wednesday, April 13, 2022 6:00am-11:59pm EST/EDT Chicago -- On April 13, 2022, the Ukrainian Institute for Modern Art (UIMA) is partnering with Virtual Concert Halls (VCHS) , a Virginia-based ITV producer, to host a global online fundraising effort to benefit UNICEF USA, who are committed to providing emergency aid to families and children in Ukraine. The event will stream to multiple social media platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and LinkedIn. Virtual Concert Halls will take the 18-hour live Internet Web stream from 5:00 a.m. to 11 p.m. CT from the Institute’s gallery and distribute it live to major social media platforms. Virtual Concert Halls streams live events from all over the world and are experts at streaming simultaneously on multiple social media platforms. Throughout the broadcast, news anchors will interview a wide variety of people who are close to the situation in Ukraine including historians, scholars, lawmakers, young Ukrainian refugees who recently arrived in Chicago, among others. UNICEF has been in Ukraine for 25 years—and it is on the ground now, delivering safe water, health and hygiene supplies, blankets, warm clothes and psycho-social care to children and their families. Security is especially crucial during this time when many children and youth are separated from their families which leaves them in indescribably vulnerable. Donations are accepted any time before, during, and after the live stream. According to a recent statement by UNICEF USA, two million children have now been forced to flee Ukraine, as the war rages on. “The situation inside Ukraine is spiraling,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. “As the number of children fleeing their homes continues to climb, we must remember that every single one of them needs protection, education, safety and support.” In a joint statement, Motria Melnyk, President of the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art and Marta Farion, Vice President said, "The war in Ukraine is breaking all of our hearts and so the opportunity to make our facility the staging area for this amazing fundraising effort was enthusiastically welcomed by our board and staff." In addition to her work at the Ukrainian Institute, Farion is also the president of the Kyiv-Mohyla Foundation of America. Virtual Concert Halls co-founder, Anna Ouspenskaya, said, “We are deeply touched and honored to be included in this project. People on our team come from different continents and backgrounds, but many of us share one thing in common: we carry scars and pains of being raised in the countries of the former Soviet bloc, or have relatives who endured the horrors of that terrible regime. Working on this project is the least we can do for Ukrainians who are enduring unimaginable pain. My colleagues at VCHS and I myself are putting our whole hearts into this effort.” HELPING UNICEF IN UKRAINE Internet Broadcast is spearheaded by veteran public radio broadcaster, Steve Robinson, President of New Media Productions. In 2003 for the victims of the tsunami and again in 2010 for victims of the earthquake in Haiti, Steve organized all-day fundraisers in involving virtually all Chicago television and radio stations that each raised $3 million in humanitarian assistance. “I hope this 18-hour continuous stream raises millions of dollars for UNICEF in this emergency,” Robinson said. ABOUT UNICEF: The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works in more than 190 countries and territories to pursue a more equitable world for every child. UNICEF has helped save more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization, by providing health care and immunizations, safe water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more. UNICEF USA advances the global mission of UNICEF by rallying the American public to support the world’s most vulnerable children. Together, we are working toward a world that upholds the rights of all children and helps every child thrive. For more information, visit www.unicefusa.org.
