Vespers in their 400th anniversary year. This season we will team up
again to perform some fantastic works by Handel and Vivaldi. Each

along with concertos by Vivaldi and Corelli. This is some of the most
exciting choral music ever written and the Callipygian Players will add

Elena Urioste, one of the most
sought-after young violinists in the country, will join the University of
Chicago Symphony Orchestra on its upcoming program in partnership with The
Soviet Arts Experience, "The Decade of The Great Patriotic War," for one night
only: Saturday, March 5 at 8 p.m.
in Mandel Hall. Urioste, who will
perform Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, replaces Hahn-Bin, who
canceled his performance due to tendonitis. Myaskovsky's Symphony No. 22 in B minor, "Symphonic Ballad", opens
the program. This concert
concludes a weeklong residency during which Urioste will engage with the campus
and surrounding community in outreach endeavors.
Urioste made her Chicago debut with
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in April 2010 with a performance of Vaughan
Williams' The Lark Ascending, which
earned her praise from John von Rhein, Chicago
Tribute, ("The gifted young violinist, Elena
Urioste, in her Chicago Symphony Orchestra debut, charmed the audience with her
lyrical sensitivity."), Andrew Patner, Chicago
Sun-Times, ("If
anyone has played solo pianissimos at Orchestra Hall with the hypnotic delicacy
that Urioste offered, I must have been away. Let's hear her again soon."), and
Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical
Review, ("From
the hushed rustle of her opening bars, the 23-year old violinist played with
inward delicacy and expressive poise, her communicative performance aided by
the sweet, penetrating sound of the $18 million "Vieuxtemps" Guarneri, on loan
from the Stradivari Society for these concerts.").
Elena Urioste, featured on the
cover of Symphony magazine as an
emerging artist to watch, has been hailed by critics and audiences alike for
her lush tone, the nuanced lyricism of her playing, and her commanding stage
presence. Since first appearing
with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age thirteen, she has made acclaimed debuts
with major orchestras throughout the United States, including the Cleveland
Orchestra, the Boston Pops, the Buffalo Philharmonic, and the Atlanta,
Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Richmond, San Antonio, and Sarasota symphony
orchestras. In Europe, she has
appeared with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Hungary's Orchestra
Dohnányi Budafok. Urioste is a
graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with Joseph
Silverstein, Pamela Frank, and Ida Kavafian. She completed graduate studies with Joel Smirnoff at The
Juilliard School.

Great Patriotic War" will be collected at the door ($10 adults/$5 students and

The program will include Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit and Stravinsky's Trois Mouvements de Petrouchka.

In addition, Stephen will perform a recent ...work by Emmy Award winning Los Angeles composer Stephen Cohn entitled Seven Dances. Mr. Cohn was recently praised in the Huffington Post for his new Quartet entitled Winter Soul. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rodney-punt/the-eclipse-quartet-and-i_b_815966.html Cook has also worked closely with Stephen Cohn on two of his other visionary piano works: A Warrior's Paradox and Moods of A Goddess.

1899 • dense, lush Romanticism from the Modernist composer before he abandoned tonality, in a superb transcription for piano trio done in 1932 by his pupil Edward Steuermann ~ based on a poem of Richard Dehmel, the programmatic music captures the despair, angst, love, nobility and radiance of the story of a couple in love walking through the woods on a moonlit night, the woman's confession that she is bearing the child of another man she never loved, and the man's acceptance of both woman and unborn child as his own, transforming all from darkness to light
