SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Writing Workshop with Susan Roney-O’Brien (June)
DESCRIPTION:This virtual poetry workshop is a vehicle for critique\, a time of close reading and thoughtful responses that help craft the written word so that it says exactly what the author intends. The focus is the work itself. Poets are respectful of each other\, value the craft\, understand the courage it takes to have work critiqued\, and make the final decisions about their own writing. Please join us. Writing prompts will be shared with registrants one week before the workshop\, and we request you submit your work at least three days before the workshop to give attendees time to read your poem. \nSusan Roney-O’Brien earned her MFA at Warren Wilson College and is the author of five poetry collections. She hosts monthly poetry readings\, teaches workshops and coordinates the Stanley Kunitz summer writing series. \nThank you to our Summer Reading sponsors: UniBank\, Mattina R.

SUMMARY:Afternoon of Brass
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy live music of immense power and finesse. Honoring Worcester County Firefighters! Featuring brass\, percussion\, organ\, chorus. \nJoin us for an uplifting classical music concert! \n\nHonoring Worcester County Firefighters\nPremiering (with chorus) a unique arrangement of Gustav Mahler's 'Resurrection' Symphony for brass\, organ and chorus. "It's a spectacular arrangement that precisely frames the gravitas and aspiration of the original work" -Lawrence B. Johnson\nShowcasing the elite brass playing of the Pitzen Brass Resurrection 2022\n\nVisit us at https://abnbe.eventbrite.com/ for updated information. \nPROGRAM DETAILS \nAfternoon of Brass\, Sunday June 5\, 2022 \n\n2:00-5:00pm – Face painting in Washburn Hall (FREE)\n3:00-4:00pm – Honoring Worcester County Firefighters\n4:15-5:45pm – Pitzen Brass Resurrection\n\nFeatured performers: \n\nEmcee – Brian McCreath\nOrgan – Leonardo Ciampa\nBay Colony Brass – Lawrence Isaacson\nNew World Chorale – Holly Krafka\nPitzen Brass Resurrection – Mitchell Arnold\n\nFeatured music: \n\nJohn Williams\, Hymn to the Fallen\nGustav Mahler\, ‘Resurrection’ Symphony Finale arr. Stephen Bulla\nAnd other works by: Elgar\, J.S. Bach\, Grieg\, Mason\, Sibelius\, R. Strauss\, G. Gabrieli\, Dukas\, Crespo\, Abreu\, Byrd\, Susato\, Karg-Elert\, Hazell\, Wagner\n\nMORE INFORMATION \nJohn Williams\, Hymn to the Fallen arr. Daniel Drage \n"The 'Hymn to The Fallen' is one of John Williams most astounding pieces. The simple tune carries the weight of all [who have fallen]. From the snare solo in the beginning\, the theme begins softly\, with a beautiful choral part. The music is never too sad or depressing. Even when the tension builds\, the tears that are yanked from your eyes come not from the sadness of the piece\, but from its profound beauty. One of the most glorious parts of the track is the brass’ interpretation of the theme. It rises up in dignity\, and dies back down\, letting way for another\, stronger rendition of the theme\, once again with the [simple tune]. The [music] swells in a majestic\, grandiose rendition\, building up to the soaring climax\, and sweeping down back to the calm. A lonely duet leads into the conclusion\, with the snare drum growing only to fade back." -Frank Lehman \nGustav Mahler\, ‘Resurrection’ Symphony Finale arr. Stephen Bulla \nOn everyone's bucket list should be a live performance of the Mahler 2 Finale. It is truly the best music ever written. The entire work is just too long for most listeners to bear (over 80 minutes) but this unique arrangement is only 11 minutes in length. It was premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Brass on 15-DEC-2021 … "The concert’s finale was the definition of grand: a broad swath of the closing movement from Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony in a spectacular arrangement that precisely framed the gravitas and aspiration of the original work. Off-stage trumpets summoned the chaos of purgatory before the reunited ensemble began the long\, swelling musical ascent of transmigration. So closely did Mulcahy and his musicians\, augmented by timpani and percussion\, mirror the full orchestral context of Mahler’s work – again banishing from mind the absence of strings and woodwinds – that one might have forgotten entirely about the other missing element: the chorus." … https://chicagoontheaisle.com/2021/12/16/cso-brass-measure-up-to-golden-reputationwith-sonorous-fare-capped-by-blazing-mahler/ \nOur Mechanics Hall premiere is including "the other missing element" (the chorus). It will be completely over the top. Don't miss your chance to hear it! \nThe finale music is aptly described: "Once more we must confront terrifying questions\, and the atmosphere is the same as at the end of the third movement. The voice of the Caller is heard. The end of every living thing has come\, the last judgment is at hand and the horror of the day of days has come upon us. The earth trembles\, the graves burst open\, the dead arise and march forth in endless procession. The great and the small of this earth\, the kings and the beggars\, the just and the godless all press forward. The cry for mercy and forgiveness sounds fearful in our ears. The wailing becomes gradually more terrible. Our senses desert us\, all consciousness dies as the Eternal Judge approaches. The last trump sounds; the trumpets of the Apocalypse ring out. In the eerie silence that follows\, we can just barely make out a distant nightingale\, a last tremulous echo of earthly life. The gentle sound of a chorus of saints and heavenly hosts is then heard: 'Rise again\, yes\, rise again thou wilt!' Then God in all His glory comes into sight. A wondrous light strikes us to the heart. All is quiet and blissful. Lo and behold: there is no judgment\, no sinners\, no just men\, no great and no small; there is no punishment and no reward. A feeling of overwhelming love fills us with blissful knowledge and illuminates our existence.” https://gustavmahler.com/symphonies/mahler-symphony-2.htm

Multiple recordings were released in 2017-18\, including Meditations On Freedom\, released on Inauguration Day\, 2017\, as a musical protest of ominous political developments in America.

In 2018\, Preminger has contributed music to a major motion picture\, was awarded a composition Fellowship at Banff Centre’s Leighton Artists Studio and is recording two new albums of original music. \nBorn in 1986\, Preminger grew up in Canton\, Connecticut.

Preminger’s second and third albums as a leader came in 2011 and 2013 while signed to the Palmetto Records label. The Boston Globe hails Preminger as “A master with standards and ballads\, as well as an adventurous composer.” The saxophonist has performed on key stages from the United States to Europe and Australia\, and he has played and/or recorded with the likes of Jason Moran\, Dave Holland\, John Patitucci\, Fred Hersch\, Dave Douglas\, Billy Hart\, Joe Lovano\, Victor Lewis\, John and Bucky Pizzarelli\, Cecil McBee\, George Cables\, and Roscoe Mitchell.
