They called my teacher and she said "Well no that's not an option we have to figure something out." Um and so I at that point my we had worked out a little bit of a barter where I started babysitting for my flute teachers kids in order to pay for my flute lessons and that was such an amazing opportunity for me because obviously I'm still playing and I've had the chance to continue to play and now I teach um my own children are playing instruments um but not many people can do that and that was an opportunity that this one teacher was able to pursue um but as professionals in this field um we want students to achieve great things and as professionals we also deserve to get paid for our skills and our time and our um dedication to those students so it's really an amazing program that we're supporting today um and I thank you for your time and for being here um we are performing for you sonatina by Mario Castanovo Tedesco uh he was a Italian composer he moved to the United States ended up in Hollywood after going through New York in 1936 um after fleeing Italy due to its racial laws as he was Jewish um and this piece has a lot of playfulness between the instruments which we really appreciate um U Mario Kasanovesco was a ended up with a lot of film compositions i believe he wrote for over 200 films and there's over 100 pieces featuring the guitar um and this is just a really fun one for us to play just to make it more interesting a week ago Antonio decided that we should change the edition that we're playing on um which actually has a lot of different notes in it so uh it's been it's been fun we've been playing this piece for about two years and in the last week we decided to change it up a little bit so uh if there's anything that sounds not right it's we're just going to say it's because of that right okay [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] okay blue [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] data all right [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] everybody [Music] up hey [Music] Heat heat [Applause] [Music] i also am short my name is Jessica i'm here and most of you who are in this room probably know me as an organist but what you may not know is that in school I transferred to another school i was a piano performance major and I transferred to a school where I became an organ performance major and it was I had this complex everybody said "Uh what do you do?" And I said "Oh I play the organ but I really play the piano." And nowadays I think uh the opposite i'm I'm going to play piano today and everybody who knows me might be a little shocked but the thing is I have this wonderful studio students right now and they are all performing later today in my studio recital and I'm so excited one of them is here i'm so excited to hear them but it's been a week of coaching them of being terrified of no I don't want to do that oh my god that's the scariest thing ever no so I've been coaching them and one of the ways I've been coaching them is trying to talk through my nerves and say "Yes you can do this yes it is worth it you have something to say whether it's with your fingers or with your words and you should get a chance to say it." So I love this piece Brahms Rapsity i've been playing it since I was in ninth grade not crazy about the piano but we'll see how that goes and I hope you enjoy heat heat heat heat [Music] heat heat heat heat [Music] heat heat heat heat [Music] heat heat [Music] heat hey hey hey [Applause] [Music] heat heat [Applause] [Music] hallelujah heat heat [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] thank you it is a great pleasure uh for me to play for you i'm so proud of all of my many students that are performing uh on this afternoon's recital as well um I wanted to play a piece for you that I gave the world premiere just last month so it's brand new um it's written based on both the Greek and the Arabic C uh resurrection hymns which we'll all be singing about the resurrection in about a month uh the East and the West celebrate Easter on the same day this year so we don't get any Easter discounts on candy unfortunately um so anyway this was commissioned by two wonderful families in my church Enunciation Greek Orthodox Church uh Mike and Amber Coutalei mike has got his roots in Lebanon so he wanted me to do some Arabic and Margaret and Greg Sutton margaret Contress is actually her maiden name and her dad was the guy that preceded me in my job as head chanter at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church so what I'd like to do is before and and by the way the composer my dear friend N lincoln Hanks is watching right now from Pepperdine University in Malibu uh and uh I was able to play his speech several times in uh uh in California last month i'll be playing it tomorrow afternoon at Sinai Lutheran Church in Fremont Nebraska if anybody's around the Fremont area but what I'd like to do is before I play uh Lincoln's beautiful piece is I would like to uh sing the uh sing the hymns for you uh so I'll start with the Arabic first um what Lincoln does in this piece is that he has these unbridled bursts of light and you will hear it musically and they come at these wonderfully spontaneous moments just like we know all encounters with the divine happen that way um and then throughout these spontaneous bursts of light we have this human very beautiful intense response to that love and that light um and then he presents the Arabic theme in its original uh in its full form and then at the end he saves the end for the entrance of the Greek theme so here's both themes again the text Christ is risen christ is risen from the dead trampling down death by death and upon those in the tombs bestowing life [Music] what Bill [Music] Oh the [Music] party this is Enhs Crystal Sinest [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] heat heat [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] man everyone's taller than me um so I I realize I'm about to play jazz for a bunch of classical musicians um so I kind of want to break the ice a little bit and tell you a little bit about how a typical jazz performance works typically you play a melody and then you improvise and develop ideas based on that melody and the chord changes of that melody and then you come back with the melody at the very end so if you're familiar with like form something like Sonata Lero maybe um theory test anyone uh so to also break the little bit of that ice I'm going to be playing my arrangement of Liss's arrangement of Schumann's Vidmung um which I just recorded on my last album so um hope you enjoy [Music] heat heat [Music] [Applause] [Music] heat heat [Music] [Applause] [Music] heat heat [Music] heat heat [Applause] [Music] heat heat [Music] [Applause] away he [Music] Heat hey heat hey heat [Music] heat heat [Applause] heat heat [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] hey everybody [Applause] hey heat hey [Music] [Applause] [Music] i'd like to invite Dr bob Fuse on up we're going to play one last tune this is Almost Like Being in Love it's my eye now [Music] hey Baby oh hey [Applause] [Music] heat heat [Music] thanks [Music] hey hey hey [Music] heat heat [Music] [Applause] [Music] you're coming to me [Applause] thank you i don't know if this Oh there it is thank you so much for coming everyone i'm Petra Walquiz i'm the bookkeeper and administrator for LMTA and I just wanted to invite our performers to come up on stage we're going to do a group photo and then if we have any other members of LMTA in the audience we'd like to invite you up after that so we can get a group photo of all our LMTA friends together and outside to your left there refreshments too so enjoy chat amongst yourselves and we'll take a few photos beautiful job ...
