&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, Chorus America&#39;s member organizations submit nominations for outstanding programming in education outreach. Criteria for the Education Outreach Award vary from year to year, as stipulated by Chorus America’s Education Committee, in order to highlight specific aspects of this important field. Winners receive an engraved plaque and a cash award of $2,500.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The award winner was selected by a panel of judges consisting of the Chairperson of the Chorus America Programs &amp; Education Committee or his/her appointed delegate, a member of the Chorus America Programs &amp; Education Committee, and a member-at-large of Chorus America who is neither a board member nor affiliated with a chorus under consideration for the award. At least one member of the panel is a professional educator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So congratulations to Chanticleer for winning this wonderful, and prestigious award!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, we would like to note that Chorus America&#39;s &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chorusamerica.org/awards/botto.cfm&quot;&gt;Louis Botto Award for Innovative Action and Entrepreneurial Zeal&lt;/a&gt;&quot; was created in memory of Louis Botto for his artistry, selfless service to the choral art, and entrepreneurial spirit in founding the men&#39;s vocal ensemble Chanticleer and bringing it to national prominence as the first professional choral ensemble in the U.S., outside the military, consistently to offer full-time employment to its singers. The award is given periodically to an individual who through his or her work with a member ensemble of Chorus America has demonstrated innovative action and entrepreneurial zeal in developing a professional or professional-core choral ensemble (in operation for at least 5 years).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;SAN JOSE---There were some admirable Promethean heights in Christopher O’Riley’s assault on late Beethoven in his April 17 piano recital here. Pairing Beethoven’s longest piano piece---the monumental “Diabelli” Variations---with the resonant last sonata (Op. 111) made a powerful statement echoing through the time-worn concert hall on the   San José  State University campus.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
O’Riley is best known for hosting the syndicated radio showcase for teen musicians, “From the Top,” which has done more to dissolve stereotypes of nerdy classical musicians than anything else since Leonard Bernstein’s music lectures on early TV, But he is also a concert pianist, doing both recitals and concertos around the country with panache. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What I really liked about O’Riley  was his dynamism and passion in attacking the keyboard...read the full review at &lt;a href=&quot;http://artssf.com/ORiley12092.html&quot;&gt;ArtsSF.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ray Isle devises a 50-bottle introduction to the world&#39;s great wines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Ray Isle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is a classic wine? It’s a wine that gives a definitive sense of a region or a style; it’s exemplary, a model of the form, even iconic—a standard-bearer. That doesn’t mean the wine is expensive (though some certainly are), nor that it’s made in extraordinarily limited amounts (though that’s sometimes true). In fact, among the 50 classics on these pages is a $12 cava from a producer that sells millions of cases a year.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Like he usually does during &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fromthetop.org/&quot;&gt;From the Top&lt;/a&gt;&quot; Mr. O&#39;Riley features young musicians, and also plays some music himself. Today we came across a fantastic &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.annemarielynne.com/articles-and-publications.html&quot;&gt;review&lt;/a&gt; of the UC-Irvine event that we just couldn&#39;t help but share:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.annemarielynne.com/articles-and-publications.html&quot;&gt;Music by Anne-Marie Lynne&lt;/a&gt;&quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orange County Register &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Pianist Christopher O’Riley’s “From the Top,” the most popular classical music radio show on the air today, is all about breaking the icy ritual of classical performance. Its formula is simple. Find talented young performers, chit-chat with them a bit, then let them play. It overturns the old Victorian admonition; here, children (and young adults) are seen and heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
O’Riley brought the format, if not the broadcast, to Irvine Barclay Theatre Friday night as part of the venue’s 20th anniversary celebrations. In this iteration, he collaborated with music students from the University of California, Irvine. It all went smoothly, the performances, too, and the audience lapped it up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pre-performance interviews are crucial to the show’s success. O’Riley is a calm and composed interviewer, wry at times but never trying too hard. The goal is nothing more than to generate a little small talk and put the performers (and audience) at ease. To the three colorfully gowned, carefully coiffed young women who were his first guests he asked, “Who’s getting married?,” got a laugh, and we were off. We learned, for instance, that cellist Anne-Marie Alexander also studied criminology in addition to music, and enjoyed working on cars. The interviews are rather like Alex Trebek’s contestant interviews on “Jeopardy,” in fact, with the same humanizing result. “Musicians are real people too” is the message...continued on &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.annemarielynne.com/articles-and-publications.html&quot;&gt;Music by Anne-Marie Lynne&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The article was in preparation for a concert that O&#39;Riley gave at San Jose State, and it talked about how Christopher O&#39;Riley&#39;s piano recital skills in the standard repertory are often overlooked because of his status as a radio host and because of his fame doing arrangements of Radiohead (like on our album &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mesabluemoon.com/releases/christopher-oriley-out-of-my-hands/&quot;&gt;Out of My Hands&lt;/a&gt;&quot;). But, the reason that O&#39;Riley&#39;s been able to have the career he&#39;s had is that he above all else, an outstanding pianist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is an excerpt from the article, and we encourage you to read it in its entirety at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.insidebayarea.com/entertainment/ci_14838202&quot;&gt;Oakland Tribune Website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.insidebayarea.com/entertainment/ci_14838202&quot;&gt;Christopher O&#39;Riley — radio host and Radiohead fan — to play works by Beethoven at S.J. State&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Richard Scheinin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;...O&#39;Riley also loves to talk about his No. 1 obsession of recent years: the band Radiohead, a favorite of many classical musicians. Trouble is, O&#39;Riley&#39;s public profile as radio host and Radiohead lover has sometimes obscured the fact that he is also a piano recitalist of the first rank, one who routinely delves into core repertory. He has devoted most of his career to performing the works of Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, Schumann and others — including Beethoven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, here&#39;s your chance to witness O&#39;Riley&#39;s talents as a Beethoven interpreter: Saturday at San Jose State University, he will give an all-Beethoven recital, performing a pair of monumental works, the Diabelli Variations and the late-period Sonata in C minor, Op. 111. He is coming at the invitation of the American Beethoven Society, which brings a leading Beethoven interpreter to San Jose State each year. Richard Goode, Garrick Ohlsson, Anton Kuerti and Angela Hewitt have performed in the past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;And Chris&#39;s Beethoven is like no one else&#39;s,&quot; says William Meredith, director of the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies at San Jose State, the event&#39;s co-sponsor. (The concert is a benefit for the center&#39;s fund for acquiring new manuscripts, first editions and other Beethoveniana.) &quot;He carries you away from banal everyday life into a wide-open creative musical space...&lt;br /&gt;

So today we would like to excerpt a review of that concert from the Times Union.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This realization came about two-thirds of the way through his Sunday afternoon recital at The Egg in Albany when he played the &quot;Ondine&quot; movement from Ravel&#39;s &quot;Gaspard de la Nuit.&quot; Its floating textures were given a shimmering, crystalline elegance -- and felt surprisingly similar to much of the other material on the program, whether it was by Nirvana, Pink Floyd or Tori Amos...To Continue Reading this Review, please visit the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=908951&amp;amp;category=ARTS&quot;&gt;Times Union Website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://whitetierecords.blogspot.com/2010/03/christopher-oriley-review.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (White Tie)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757144721157139502.post-3277625882508532632</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-05T13:43:41.764-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fun</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Wine Classics</category><title>Wine Classics - A New Meaning</title><description>We have been featuring our &lt;a href=&quot;http://whitetierecords.blogspot.com/2010/02/wine-classics-series.html&quot;&gt;Wine Classics Series&lt;/a&gt; as of late, and so we thought it would be fun today to share something that truly combines wine and classical music:&lt;br /&gt;

Respighi&#39;s Fountains of Rome most certainly calls for a glass of bubbly, while Beethoven&#39;s Moonlight Sonata deserves a rich Cabernet.
