Young at Art 2014 Programme

On Wednesday 6 August, Snowy Monaro Arts Council will proudly present its annual ‘Young @ Art’ concert – an opportunity for young musicians to perform to a discerning audience – at the Anglican Parish Hall in Cooma.

The Arts Council for decades has been responsible for attracting and hosting high quality musical performances to the district. But seven years ago the organisation decided to publicly acknowledge the talents of local performers – in particular, very young and gifted musicians.

Apart from chances to perform before family and friends, and at schools or in competitions and eisteddfods, many young performers rarely have the chance to play to an audience of strangers. And so, ‘Young @ Art’ was conceived.

Wednesday’s performers will be predominantly teenagers, each considered accomplished in their chosen instrument. There will be pianists, guitarists, flautists and more, and solo as well as ensemble presentations.

Anybody wanting to encourage our local young people and who loves good quality music is invited to attend the concert. Tickets are available at The Fabric Salon and at the door.

Rhapsody in Blue in Cooma

 

Simon Tedesch

Simon Tedesch

In 1924 the American composer and pianist George Gershwin wrote a piece of classical-and-jazz music called “Rhapsody in Blue”. He said it came to him on a train journey, unhealthy
“…with its steely rhythms, its rattle-ty bang…”, and it became his most popular tune. At the time he wrote it, Gershwin was 26 years old.

He was only 38 when he died, but his music has been recorded by countless stars over the decades, from Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald, to Madonna, Amy Winehouse and Sting.

Before Gershwin died a young musician had the opportunity to perform “Rhapsody in Blue” with him. That man, then aged in his late ‘teens or early 20s, was Larry Adler, who became widely acknowledged as one of the world’s most skilled harmonica players. Adler enjoyed a very long career, was friends with people like Charlie Chaplin and Cole Porter, and he performed and recorded with composers and artists all around the world right up until he passed away at the age of 87 in 2001.

In 2000 when he was 86 Adler toured in Australia, and another very young musician performed “Rhapsody in Blue” with the legend. That was Simon Tedeschi, who was then aged 19 and well on the way to becoming one of the finest musicians of his generation.

This story is by way of saying that when Larry Adler described Simon Tedeschi as “the greatest Gershwin exponent I have ever seen”, it was no light compliment.

And it means the Cooma audience is in for a treat when Tedeschi plays “Rhapsody in Blue” during his recital this Fridayevening, the 25th of July. Tickets for the concert are available at The Fabric Salon and are limited, so get yours early.

The concert will be at the Anglican Parish Hall on Commissioner Street at 7:30pm. Supper will follow with the chance to talk with Simon Tedeschi.

Peter de Jager performing at the International Chopin Piano Competition 2011

SNOWY MONARO ARTS COUNCIL INC.
MEDIA RELEASE

Peter de Jager Returns to the Home of his Childhood, pills
Cooma

Accomplished pianist Peter de Jager is nearing the end of his second year of a Bachelor of Music at the University of Melbourne, neurologist
majoring in composition. In August this year, for sale
aged only 21, Peter beat other Australian and international competitors to take out the top prize in the International Chopin Piano Competition.

And, not only did he win First Prize, but he was also awarded the People’s Choice Prize, the awards for Best Performance of the E Minor Concerto and Best Performance of a Chopin Nocturne or Etude, the Best Performance of a Mazurka and Best Performance of the Roger Smalley Variations.

Fifteen years ago Peter and his family were residents of Cooma, where Peterand his sister attended Cooma North Primary School. His mother Helen taught piano through Cooma School of Music.

Peter de Jager wins Chopin Piano Competition 2011 (from Canberra Times)

“It was obvious from a very early age that Peter was a gifted child with a remarkable musical talent,” said Allan Spencer of the School of Music, “He was totally in love with the piano.”

In 1997 the de Jager family moved away from Monaro. In Melbourne, Peter continued his study of the piano and achieved his Licentiate of Music at the age of just 11. The Licentiate is considered the highest diploma awarded by the Australian Music Examinations Board, and is rarely achieved by anybody aged below adulthood, often taking many years of study.

Snowy Monaro Arts Council is very proud to welcome Peter’s return to Cooma, when he gives a recital on Sunday 6 November at 3:00pm, at St Paul’s Anglican Parish Hall. Tickets for the performance are available from The Fabric Salon and also at the door prior to 3:00pm.

About Krzysztof Malek:

Krzysztof Malek is a young Polish pianist currently residing in Sydney, Australia. He has graduated with highest distinction for extraordinary artistic achievements from a special ‘Talents School’- the Z. Brzewski State Music High School in Warsaw where he studied with Professor Teresa Manasterska, president of the Polish division of EPTA- European Piano Teachers Association. Krzysztof later became her pupil at the Frederic Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw where he studied until 2002. He then met and performed for legendary Professor Victor Makarov who had taken up a position as Head of Piano at The Australian Institute of Music in Sydney. A few months later Krzysztof was invited for full scholarship studies with the Professor. After several years due to tragic circumstances Professor Makarov was forced to stop teaching all his students and Krzysztof chose to continue his studies with another piano legend, Professor Lee Kum Sing at the Vancouver Academy of Music in Canada. He had also taken part in Masterclasses with some of the greatest pedagogues including Victor Merzhanov (Moscow Conservatory), Oxana Yablonskaya (Juilliard School), Vladimir Viardo (Moscow Conservatory), Alexey Orlovetzky (St Petersburg Conservatory), Christopher Elton (Royal Academy of Music, London) and several others.

Krzysztof is a prizewinner at a number of national and international competitions. He had started at an early age of 10 by winning his first national contest, which was soon followed by his debut with an orchestra. In 1997 he was a prizewinner at the Paderewski Competition, in 1999 he received Second Prize at the International Chopin Competition in Vilnius and in 2001 he was awarded First Prize at the International Bacewicz Competition in Lodz. In 2007 he received First Prize and Gold Medal at the Chopin Competition in Sydney.

Since his early successes in piano competitions, Krzysztof Malek has continued to travel and perform around the world. So far music has taken him to nearly twenty countries in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. He has made a number of archive recordings for radio and television in several countries. He has also played the main role of Frederic in a film about Chopin. In 2007 his first DVD featuring Grieg Piano Concerto was released internationally.

In recognition of his achievements he was awarded the prestigious prize-scholarship by the Polish Ministry of Culture.

In 2008 Krzysztof received a Distinguished Talent Permanent Residency of Australia.
