UPCOMMING CELEBRATION - 15 YEARS OF CLASSICAL DISCOVERIES  05-29-1997 - 05-30-2012

 

 

Wednesday, May 30, 2012  

From 5:30 till 11:00am and 11:00am till 1:00pm

Classical Discoveries will celebrate it's 15th Anniversary on the air (began May 29 1997), as well as the 4th Anniversary of Classical Discoveries Goes Avant-Garde - program designed to accommodate works that very often fall between the cracks and are difficult to classify as well as many electronic selections and more avant-garde works that are ignored by most radio stations.

The Avant-Garde Edition originally started as a series of 4 summer specials in 2006, become a whole summer program in 2007, and a regular feature from June 6, 2008 with 4 hour specials running through the whole summer.

Over the years both programs have presented many world and US premiere broadcasts.

The special Anniversary programs will include works which were aired for the first time on Classical Discoveries and the Avant-Garde Edition. In addition, Marvin will accept a minimal number of requests on both programs.

If you do make a request please make sure that it is no more than approximately 10 - 12 minutes.

You can email your request at: requestformarvin@gmail.com

The deadline for getting your requests in is 6:00pm on Monday, May 28, 2012

Marvin will be presenting on Sandy's Sunday Morning Opera

RESURRECTION - An Opera in Two Acts

by American composer TOD MACHOVER

Resurrection, Tod Machover's stab at "traditional" opera, was a commission from Houston Grand Opera, where it had its world premiere, in 1999. Resurrection, with a clear-headed libretto by Laura Harrington, adapted from Tolstoy's last novel, has -- to the surprise of those who have followed Machover's career -- a realistic plot line, ensemble scenes, set pieces, archetypal operatic characters and a dramatically charged orchestra composed primarily of conventional instruments.- Opera News Online -click to read complete story

SPECIAL GUEST OF CLASSICAL DISCOVERIES - WEDNESDAY, MAY  02  2012

You will hear: Missa "Jubilus sacer" by Austrian Composer, Joseph Balthasar Hochreither (1669-1731), O, Wonder by American/Australian composer, Becky Llewellyn (1950- ), Symphony Number 5 by American Composer, David Maslanka (1943- ), In the First, Spinning Place by Welsh Composer, Hilary Tann (1947- ), String Quartet No. 4 by Latvian Composer, Peteris Vasks (1946- ), plus music by Melchior Franck, Maria Xaveria Perucona, Ronn Yedidia and many others.

from 9:00am till 11:00am American composer Frank Ferko will be a guest in the WPRB studio.

Ferko played piano from childhood, and worked as an organist and conductor in his teens. His first compositions were primarily liturgical in nature, with Lutheran composer Richard Wienhorst being an early influence. He attended Valparaiso University as an undergraduate, where he studied composition and counterpoint under Wienhorst and organ under Philip Gehring. Ferko took particular interest in early music and the compositional and theoretical output of Olivier Messiaen. He received a bachelor's from Valparaiso in 1972 in piano and organ performance, and then took his master's at Syracuse University in music theory. There he studied theory under Howard Boatright and organ under Will Headlee, and wrote his thesis on one of the extended piano works of Messiaen. Following this, Ferko served as Director of Music at various midwestern churches before entering Northwestern University. At Northwestern he first pursued a Ph.D. in music theory but shifted his attention to music composition which he studied under Alan Stout.

During his time at Northwestern he worked as a teaching assistant in the School of Music and also continued his work as a church musician. In 1982 he began working as a music librarian and continues to work as both a librarian and an archivist. He is currently on the staff of the Archive of Recorded Sound at Stanford University. The music of Frank Ferko has been heard through public performance or radio broadcast in 30 countries on six continents.
