He graduated in 1990 with the Premier Prix from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, after which he continued his studies with Aurele Nicolet. At the age of 22 Emmanuel joined the Berliner Philharmoniker as Principal Flute under Claudio Abbado, a position which he still holds today. In addition to his engagements with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Emmanuel enjoys an extensive international career as soloist and chamber musician.

Emmanuel appears regularly at leading festivals throughout Europe, the USA and the Far East. He has appeared as soloist with many of the world's leading orchestras including the London Philharmonic, Zurich Tonhalle, Bayerischer Rundfunk, Mariinski, Camerata Salzburg, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Cincinnati Symphony, Washington National Symphony, NHK Symphony and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. He has collaborated with conductors such as Abbado, Rattle, Zinman, Maazel, Boulez, Gergiev, Gardiner, Harding, Järvi, Nezet-Séguin, Rostropovich and Perlman.

In the 2013-14 season, Emmanuel performs with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Utah Symphony, Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, Orchestre de Chambres du Paris, Potsdam Kammerorchester, Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Bamberger Symphoniker. Real OrquestaSinfonica de Sevilla, and Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra.

Ririe-Woodbury The Start of Something Big

Ririe-Woodbury Celebrates 50th with 

"The Start of Something Big"

The Start of Something Big - September 26 -28, 7:30 p.m.

This season, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company has reached a milestone not achieved by many of contemporary dance companies, or even many arts organizations in the United States – it turned 50 years old. As a testament to its impactful history and dynamic vision for the future, Ririe-Woodbury kicks off its 50th Anniversary Season celebration with an exciting new show, The Start of Something Big, September 26-28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Rose Wagner Center. This performance examines the formative works of the Company, including those by Co-Founders Shirley Ririe and Joan Woodbury, with interludes of the 1972 Fellini-esque film “MOVE IT,” by Stanley and Judith Hallet. It also features a world premiere by new Artistic Director Daniel Charon.

“Prisms” (1971) created by Shirley Ririe, uses the Merce Cunningham “chance method” and employs painted slides, a technique introduced by Alwin Nikolais. “Affectinate Infirmities” (1972) by Joan Woodbury, was created as an homage to everyone who has suffered the indignity of a debilitating injury and is danced on crutches. “Clouds” (1971) was created for the first Ririe-Woodbury Children’s Show by Shirley Ririe. “Play It As It Rings” (1970) by Shirley Ririe and Joan Woodbury, was created with a focus on time, and was inspired by John Cage and Alwin Nikolais. “Loose Change” (2005) was created by Joan Woodbury in the spirit of the works the Company was performing in the 1970s. “Striped Celebrants” (from Totem 1955) by Alwin Nikolais and “Suite de Danse” (1960) by Murray Louis were gifted to the Company at its founding to be part of the repertory. “Everything That Changes” (World Premiere) by Artistic Director Daniel Charon is inspired by the notion that time is continually moving forward and that change is inevitable.

This performance marks the first performance at Ririe-Woodbury under the artistic direction of Daniel Charon, who joined the Company in June of this year. His performing and choreographic career spans 17 years, working with such prestigious companies as Doug Varone and Dancers, Limón Dance Company, Doug Elkins and Friends, the Metropolitan Opera, and Dance Kaleidoscope among many others.

As part of its extensive Education Program, Ririe-Woodbury will present a September 25 matinee, open to any K-12 school in Utah. More information and registration forms are available at http://ririewoodbury.com/education/free-student-matinees.

About Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company:
Celebrating it’s 50th Anniversary Season, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company is committed to furthering contemporary dance as an accessible and valued art form through performance and dance education that raise the standards, deepen the understanding and promote personal connections with dance. The Company does so by performing innovative original works and commissioning talented choreographers, providing dance education for all levels, and touring regionally, nationally, and internationally.

On the eve of its 50th Anniversary, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company is proud to announce the appointment of Daniel Charon as Artistic Director. Charon becomes the second full-time, and first male, artistic director after Shirley Ririe and Joan Woodbury stepped down in 2008. Charon has been based in New York since 1995 and has worked with such prestigious companies as Limón Dance Company, Doug Varone and Dancers, Dance Kaleidoscope and Doug Elkins and Friends.

The 50th Anniversary Season will feature an unprecedented nine new commissions. In the fall Ririe-Woodbury will take a look back at the formative works of the Company by Joan Woodbury and Shirley Ririe, as well as a look forward with a new creation by Daniel Charon. In December, six prominent alumni from the Company return to set their new works on the Ririe-Woodbury Dancers and fellow alums. In January and February, the new show for all ages by circus and dance maestro Tandy Beal, takes what is before us and turns it inside out and upside down, revealing unexpected delight or mystery. In April there will be three new premiers – a new multi-media collaboration between New York choreographer Doug Varone and University of Utah professor and filmmaker Ellen Bromberg, a new commission by Sweden-based Ririe-Woodbury alumnus Miguel Azcue, as well as a new work by Daniel Charon. Season tickets for the 50th Anniversary Season will be available at www.ririewoodbury.com on June 3rd.

Utah Symphony Concludes Season with Music by Dvořák and Brahms

Utah Symphony Concludes Season with
Music by Dvořák and Brahms

The Utah Symphony presents Dvořák and Brahms in Abravanel Hall.
Friday, May 24, 2013, 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, May 25, 2013, 8:00 p.m.

Utah Symphony Associate Conductor Vladimir Kulenovic brings the Utah Symphony’s 2012-13 Masterwork Series to a spectacular close by conducting two master composers’ stunning works.

Vladimir Kulenovic has led the Utah Symphony in many education, family, and pops concerts throughout the state of Utah but will for the first time lead the orchestra in a performance on the Masterworks Series in Abravanel Hall. The May 24 and 25 performances will begin at 8:00 p.m. with the sophisticated Symphony No. 2 by Johannes Brahms. The concert will also include two exciting works by Brahms’ Czech contemporary, Antonín Dvořák. These include his “Slavonic Dances” op. 72 nos. 2 and 3 as well as the Violin Concerto in A minor with international soloist Augustin Hadelich.

Repertoire
After finishing the momentous task of writing his first symphony, Brahms produced his second symphony with ease. Brahms’s Symphony No. 2 is almost pastoral in its light-hearted passages and careful structuring. The symphony is often compared to Beethoven’s “Pastoral” because of its form and its sophistication of melodic and harmonic writing.

The vivid and colorful “Slavonic Dances” brought Dvořák international recognition and launched his world-wide career. His original set of “Slavonic Dances” was written in response to Brahms’s “Hungarian Dances.” The second set was written at the request of Dvořák’s publisher, who insisted on more due to the success of the first set. Both sets of dances are now among his most beloved works.

Dvořák’s Violin Concerto in A minor was dedicated to Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim, who was also a mutual friend of Brahms. While Dvořák was composing the concerto, Joachim wasn’t fully pleased and asked for multiple revisions. After the revisions were made, still to Joachim’s disapproval, the piece was premiered in Prague by a different violinist. The piece retained the original dedication to Joachim although he never performed it.

Pre-concert Chat
Associate Conductor Vladimir Kulenovic, Vice President of Artistic Planning Toby Tolokan, and guest artist Augustin Hadelich will present a free pre-concert chat each night, one hour prior to the start of the performance on the orchestra level of Abravanel Hall.

Tickets can be purchased by calling 801-355-2787, in person at the Abravanel Hall ticket office (123 W. South Temple) or by visiting www.utahsymphony.org.

Guest Artist
Consistently cited in the press for his “gorgeous tone,” “poetic communication” and “fast-fingered brilliance,” Augustin Hadelich has confirmed his place in the top echelon of young violinists. After performing a stellar debut with the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood in August playing the Barber Violin Concerto, he has recently played an equally impressive subscription debut with the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center playing Lalo’s “Symphonie espagnole.”

Among Mr. Hadelich’s 2012/2013 season highlights are debuts with the Buffalo Philharmonic, Dallas Symphony, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, National Symphony, New Jersey Symphony, Saint Louis Symphony, San Francisco Symphony and the Toronto Symphony, as well as re-invitations to the Colorado, Houston and Jacksonville symphonies. This summer he will appear with the Britt Festival Orchestra, Chautauqua Festival Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl and the New York Philharmonic at Vail. Among his upcoming worldwide engagements are the BBC Philharmonic, SWR Orchestra/Stuttgart and the Tampere Philharmonic.

In the United States, Augustin Hadelich has performed with the Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Pacific Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, and the symphonies of Alabama, Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Colorado, Columbus, Florida, Fort Worth, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Louisville, Nashville, New Orleans, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Syracuse, Utah, Vancouver and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Festival appearances include Aspen, Blossom, Bravo! Vail Valley, Chautauqua (where he made his American debut in 2001), Hollywood Bowl and Tanglewood.

Mr. Hadelich has recorded two CDs for AVIE: Flying Solo, a CD of masterworks for solo violin (including the Bartók solo sonata); and Echoes of Paris, which features French and Russian repertoire influenced by Parisian culture in the early 20th century. For Naxos, he has recorded Haydn’s complete violin concerti with the Cologne Chamber Orchestra and Telemann’s complete Fantasies for Solo Violin. A new CD, Histoire du Tango will be released in the spring of 2013.

The 2006 Gold medalist of the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, Mr. Hadelich is the recipient of Lincoln Center’s Martin E. Segal Award (2012), an Avery Fisher Career Grant (2009) and a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in the UK (2011).

Born in Italy in 1984, the son of German parents, Augustin Hadelich holds an artist diploma from The Juilliard School, where he was a student of Joel Smirnoff. He plays on the 1723 “Ex-Kiesewetter” Stradivari violin, on loan from Clement and Karen Arrison through the generous efforts of the Stradivari Society.

HCT 2014 Season to Feature "Mary Poppins"

Hale Centre Theatre 2014 Season
to feature "Mary Poppins"

Lineup also includes the regional premiere of “Catch Me If You Can” and 30th anniversary production of “A Christmas Carol.”

Hale Centre Theatre (HCT), Utah’s Premiere Family Theatre, has announced its schedule for the 2014 season.

Highlights of HCT’s 2014 lineup include the regional premiere of the Broadway musical “Catch Me If You Can” — the 12th regional or national premiere on HCT’s stage — and the beloved Disney musical “Mary Poppins.” A fourth musical will be announced in May.

The season will open on New Year’s Eve 2013 with the comedy “The Foreigner” and conclude with HCT’s 30th annual production of “A Christmas Carol” in December 2014.

HCT’s 2014 season features the following array of musicals and comedies:

“The Foreigner” — Dec. 31, 2013 - Feb. 1, 2014
       Back by popular demand, this comedy follows the story of a stranger who finds himself in a remote lodge but supposedly can’t speak or understand English.

Musical — Feb. 14 - April 19
       To be announced in May 2013.

“Arsenic and Old Lace” — April 19 - May 25
       In this classic farcical comedy, two spinster aunts take Mortimer Brewster on an eccentric ride through oddities as he tries to uncover the happenings of his disturbed family.

“Mary Poppins” — June 13 - Aug. 9
       Featuring unforgettable songs from the popular Disney film and the time-honored tale from P.L. Travers, Disney’s & Cameron Mackintosh’s “Mary Poppins” tells the story of one of the most famous nannies of all time.

“She Loves Me” — Aug. 19 - Sept. 27
       This musical is based on the play “Parfumerie” by Hungarian playwright Miklos Laszlo, which became the basis of the classic film “The Shop Around the Corner” and more recently “You've Got Mail.” The story follows Amalia and Georg, two feuding clerks in a European parfumerie during the 1930s who secretly find solace as anonymous romantic pen pals, little knowing their respective correspondents are actually each other.

"Catch Me If You Can” Regional Premiere — Oct. 8 - Nov. 29
       Based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., this new musical tells the story of a teenager who runs away from home in search of a glamorous life. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer — living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. But when Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Carl chases Frank to the end — and finds something he never expected.

“A Christmas Carol” — Dec. 6-23
       In HCT’s nationally acclaimed Christmas tradition, Marley’s Ghost reminds the stingy Ebenezer Scrooge that “mankind should be his business.” Dickens’ carol of redemption seeks to reclaim Scrooge’s heart. The 2014 production marks the 30th anniversary of “A Christmas Carol” at HCT.

Season tickets will go on sale to current HCT season ticket holders at the end of May and to the general public Aug. 1. For ticket information, call 801-984-9000, visit HCT’s website, www.hct.org, or visit the box office at 3333 S. Decker Lake Drive in West Valley City.

Alzheimer Care Recipients to Benefit from Outreach by Utah Symphony and Utah Opera Musicians

Alzheimer Care Recipients to Benefit
from Outreach by
Utah Symphony and Utah Opera Musicians

4th Annual Making Sense of Alzheimer’s Month Collaboration With The Utah Alzheimer’s Association Chapter Also Provides Opportunities For Families and Physicians.

Utah Symphony | Utah Opera and the Utah Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association today announced the details of the May 2013 Making Sense of Alzheimer’s Month. This collaboration between the two organizations began four years ago with the goal of increasing concern and awareness regarding Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in Utah.

Events are planned to provide opportunities to stimulate the senses of those with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. During the month of May, Utah Symphony and Utah Opera musicians will volunteer their time to perform at local assisted living communities. Also, free and discount ticket opportunities for care recipients, their families, and other care givers will be available for Utah Symphony and Utah Opera performances.

As part of the Alzheimer Association’s ongoing physician outreach efforts, a pre-concert reception and lecture will be held prior to the Utah Symphony’s May 4, 2013 performance. Local physicians and researchers will have the opportunity to hear Dr. Dean M. Hartley, Ph.D. speak on the changing face of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias research and diagnosis.

Music holds immense potential to impact the quality of life for individuals with dementia. It is a form of sensory stimulation, which provokes responses due to familiarity, predictability and feelings of security. Seeing and hearing professional musicians perform has a positive impact on functionality with these individuals and often encourages reminiscence, conversations and endearing connections otherwise forfeited.
