Atlanta Symphony, violinist,
join for Sunday concert |
The Performing Arts Center presents
the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on April 4 at 3 p.m.
in Hodgson Hall. The ASO will be conducted by Roberto
Minczuk and will feature guest violinist Chantal Juillet.
James DePreist was originally scheduled to conduct this
concert, but he is unable to appear because of ill health
and Minczuk will conduct instead.
Juillet will perform Korngold’s Concerto in D Major
for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 35. Also on the program
are Bachianas Brasileiras No. 4 by Heitor Villa-Lobos
and Tchaikovsky’s fifth symphony.
Minczuk is co-artistic director of the São Paulo
State Symphony of Brazil and associate conductor of the
New York Philharmonic, one of the most important emerging
talents of his generation. Since leading the New York
Philharmonic’s summer Concerts in the Parks series
in 1998, he has conducted extensively in North America.
This season he has made subscription-concert debuts with
the New York Philharmonic and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra,
in addition to this weekend’s ASO debut.
On the international circuit, Minczuk has conducted the
London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Halle Orchestra, the
Basle Symphony Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony
Orchestra. He led a highly acclaimed three-week concert
tour of the United States with the São Paulo State
Symphony in 2002.
He recently completed recording the complete Bachianas
Brasileiras of Hector Villa-Lobos with the São
Paulo State Symphony Orchestra.
Minczuk began his career as a prodigy of the French horn
and by the age of 16 was principal hornist of the São
Paulo Symphony. After his graduation from Juilliard in
1987, he became a member of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra
and in 1989 returned to Brazil to study conducting.
Violinist Chantal Juillet, a native of Montreal, won first
prize in the Canadian Music Competition at the age of
9. Since then she has performed with major orchestras
around the world and premiered a number of violin concertos
written for her. Her all-Ravel CD won the Gramophone Award
for best chamber music recording in 1997, and in 2000
she was awarded the honor of Chevalier de l’Ordre
des Arts et des Lettres by the French government.
A pre-concert lecture will be given by Allen Barbee, a
music faculty member at Georgia Perimeter College. The
lecture begins 45 minutes prior to the performance and
is free. |

“Mask and Man: The Complex Humor of Louis Armstrong.”
Robert O’Meally, Columbia University. 4 p.m. 265 Park
Hall. Sponsored by department of English. 542-7103.
O’Meally is the leading interpreter of the dynamics of jazz
in American culture. His talk will feature rare film clips of Louis
Armstrong, including an appearance in a Betty Boop cartoon.
O’Meally is the Zora Neale Hurston Professor of English and
the founder and director of the Center for Jazz Studies at Columbia
University. He has written extensively on Ralph Ellison. He is co-editor
of the Norton Anthology of African
American Literature and editor of several other collections,
including Tales of the Congaree
and The Jazz Cadence of American Culture.
His biography Lady Day: The
Many Faces of Billie Holiday became a documentary for public
TV. In 1999, he received a Grammy nomination for his work as co-producer
of the five-CD set The Jazz Singers.
“Dr. O’Meally’s research on African-American literature,
culture and musical performance has introduced innovative methods
of inquiry and contributed enormously to the current appeal of both
blues and jazz music to popular audiences,” says Barbara McCaskill,
associate professor of English at UGA. “His work on two scholarly
benchmarks, The Jazz Cadence of American
Culture and The Norton Anthology
of African American Literature, reminds us that the expressive
traditions of black people lie at the very center of what defines
the American experience.”
Women’s History Month Reading.
From Wrapped in Rainbows: The Life

Hall. Sponsored by Women’s Studies Program. 542-2947.
Alice Walker says Valerie Boyd’s biography of Zora Neale Hurston
“will be the standard for years to come.” Hurston was
a woman of enormous talent, remarkable drive and rare intellectual
prowess, who published four novels, two books of folklore, an autobiography,
many short stories, and several articles and plays, over a career
that spanned more than 30 years. Although she enjoyed some
popularity during her lifetime, her greatest acclaim has come posthumously.
All of her books were out of print when she died in poverty in 1960,
but today nearly every black woman writer of significance acknowledges
Hurston as a literary foremother.
