Crystal clear sounds and perfect balance revealed his exceptional ability” (Amadeus). Malofeev has quickly established himself as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation. \nAlexander’s recent and appearances include a Asia tour with the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala under Riccardo Chailly\, with the Orchestra del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari under Mikhail Pletnev\, concerts in the UK with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Kirill Karabits\, concerts in the Italy with RAI National Symphony Orchestra и Fabio Luis\, performances in Tonhalle Zurich\, Conservatorio “Giuseppe Verdi” di Milano\, Kleinhans Music Hall (Buffalo\, USA)\, Teatro Petruzzelli (Italy) and Celebrity Series of Boston (USA). \nMaestro Riccardo Chailly said about the pianist: “I first heard Malofeev when Valery Gergiev performed with him at the Teatro alla Scala three years ago. He was only 14\, and he amazed me with his talent. Because that is not just a child prodigy: he is very young\, but already possesses depth and technical abilities\, and also musical and mnemonic\, which makes him an excellent interpreter of the 3rd Concert of Rachmaninov\, which is a problem for many pianists in the world.” (Corriere della Sera\, October 2019). \nAlexander was born in Moscow in October 2001.

There are musical fireworks\, critical acclaim and fists-aloft triumph\, offset by wilderness years\, brushes with the jaws of narcotic oblivion\, and the survival of an organ transplant few come back from.  From 1973\, when he left his New Jersey home headed to Los Angeles\, he has followed a road that afforded him an opportunity to just play\, sharing the stage as a sideman with Jesse Ed Davis\, Big Mama Thornton\, John Lee Hooker\, Lowell Fulson\, Joe Tex\, and of course the great John Mayall (following a three-year tenure in Canned Heat).   \nWhen Trout walked away from the Bluesbreakers\, he embarked on a solo career that has yielded a catalogue that has established a deep legacy in the world of Blues\, Americana\, and the realm of revered singer-songwriters. While many would slow down as they approach their 70th birthday\, Trout continues to deliver inspired recordings\, performances\, and a voice that articulates relevant ideology and insights in to The World that inspires his deep perspective. There’s no autopilot emanating from Walter Trout\, but a true a sense of growing momentum\, elements of surprise\, and repertoire that continues to be more compelling with each new creation.  URL:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/event/walter-trout/ LOCATION:Mary Seaton Room\, 3 Symphony Circle\, Buffalo\, 14201\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/trout-Web-square-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220913T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220913T190000 DTSTAMP:20260421T154302 CREATED:20220815T195622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220906T162040Z UID:5300-1663095600-1663095600@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:The Marcel Tyberg Legacy Concert: Piano and Vocal Music DESCRIPTION:Florestan Recital Project\nAaron Engebreth\, baritone\nAlison D’Amato\, piano \nFlorestan Recital Project presents a program of piano and vocal works by composer and Holocaust victim Marcel Tyberg. This concert is FREE to attend – click here to reserve tickets.\nProgram\nMarcel Tyberg (1893-1944) \nHeine Liederzyklus (1925-26)\, Selections from 21 songs for voice and piano; poetry by Heinrich Heine\nAaron Engebreth\, baritone\nAlison D’Amato\, piano \nPiano Sonata No. 1 (1914-1920)\, movements 1 and 2\n1. Allegro appasionato\n2. Tema con variazioni \nSponsored by the Marcel Tyberg Legacy Fund at the Foundation for Jewish Philanthropies and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. \nPromotional support provided by: \n \n\n\n\nMarcel Tyberg and the BPO\nAfter decades of obscurity\, a composer and Holocaust victim is getting his due. \nMarcel Tyberg (1893-1944) lived in Abbazia\, Italy in the mid-20th century. He was known in the community for the compositions he wrote for local dance bands and for his prowess as a teacher. But his true passion was composing classical music. When his teaching and his commercial work were finished\, he’d turn his attention to his beloved symphonies\, sonatas\, and trios. \nAs World War II intensified\, Tyberg feared persecution due to his Jewish ancestry. He delivered his classical scores to a student and trusted friend\, Henry Mihich. Shortly afterwards\, Tyberg’s worst fears were realized. He was taken to Auschwitz\, where he died in 1944. \nMihich left Italy for America several years later\, and took the bag of scores with him. He settled in Buffalo and became a respected researcher and Director of the Grace Cancer Drug Center at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. For decades\, he visited each music director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and many of the guest conductors\, trying to interest someone in bringing to light the works of his former teacher and friend. It was not until JoAnn Falletta’s tenure that he succeeded. \n“I discovered a treasure — music that\, while honoring the past Germanic tradition\, pointed the way to a new era. The language was strong\, individual and compelling\,” said Falletta of her initial review of the scores. It was enough to convince her that the painstaking project of transcribing and copying the handwritten scores to create playable versions was worth the effort. \nThe BPO committed to a multi-year recording project of Tyberg’s works on the international NAXOS label. The orchestra partnered with the Foundation for Jewish Philanthropies which maintains a special fund\, The Marcel Tyberg Musical Legacy Fund\, to support the preservation\, performance\, recording and publishing of the works of Marcel Tyberg. \nRecorded in 2008-2009\, the BPO’s first Tyberg recording included his Symphony No. 3 led by JoAnn Falletta\, and his Piano Trio\, performed by violinist Michael Ludwig\, cellist Roman Mekinulov\, and pianist Ya-Fung Chuang. As the first Tyberg recording was released\, word began to spread. The project was reviewed and profiled in many major publications\, and the BPO began receiving requests from groups all over the world who wished to perform Tyberg’s works. But the most remarkable request came from a surprising source. \n“Just as we were preparing for the release of our second Tyberg CD\, we received a startling communication from the government of Croatia. Abbazia\, now called Opatija\, had been part of Italy in Tyberg’s lifetime\, and is now in Croatia. The Croatians\, excited by hearing our first Tyberg CD\, were claiming him as their national composer\,” Falletta said. \nIn November 2012\, a Tyberg festival was held in Rijeka and attended by the president of Croatia. Just prior to the festival\, the nationally syndicated radio program Performance Today broadcast the story of Marcel Tyberg and the BPO to more than 1.3 million listeners across the United States. At the festival\, JoAnn Falletta conducted Croatia’s National Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Tyberg’s Symphony No. 2. Dr. Mihich\, BPO board member Cindy Abbott Letro\, and Peter Fleischmann of the Foundation for Jewish Philanthropies\, were there to witness the fulfillment of their dream to bring recognition to a great man who had lived a quiet life and died a lonely death. \nThe second Tyberg recording was recorded in 2011 and released on the NAXOS label in August 2013. The recording featured his Symphony No. 2 conducted by JoAnn Falletta and his Piano Sonata No. 2 performed by pianist Fabio Bidini. It was Naxos’ best-selling new release on the week of its debut and has received acclaim from international publications. Although the Nazis succeeded in ending Marcel Tyberg’s life\, they could not silence his voice. \n\n\nAbout Florestan Recital Project\n\n\nFlorestan Recital Project engages audiences and artists in a broad spectrum of art song collaborations through performances\, recordings\, and mentoring. We are named for the fiery character of Florestan\, one of the creative alter egos of composer Robert Schumann\, who wrote of a basic mission: “to be remindful of older times and their works and to emphasize that only from such a pure source can new artistic beauties be fostered.” That message is at the center of our activities\, generating projects that draw connections between art song of the past\, present\, and future. \nSince 2001\, Florestan has produced an array of recitals\, festivals\, and innovative performances of classical music for audiences from coast to coast. In 2008\, Florestan Records was launched\, initiating a varied and critically acclaimed catalog of world premiere art song recordings\, many of which are available for free through streaming web audio. By offering a free\, simple and user-friendly online platform for our recordings\, Florestan offers professionally-produced releases that are accompanied by carefully researched program notes\, biographical information on the composer and poets\, as well as full texts and translations. We believe these works should be freely accessible to all audiences. \n\n\nAbout Aaron Engebreth\n\nAaron Engebreth enjoys a varied solo career in opera\, oratorio\, recital and devotes considerable energy to the performance of established music and contemporary premieres\, frequently collaborating with many of today’s preeminent composers. He is twice GRAMMY-Award nominated for Best Operatic Recording for his featured roles with the Boston Early Music Festival Opera and Radio Bremen.  In the U.S. he is frequently featured as a guest soloist on stages from Carnegie Hall\, the Kennedy Center and Boston’s Symphony Hall\, to international appearances from Sapporo Japan’s Kitara Hall to Le Theatre de la Ville in Paris and the AmBul festival of Sofia\, Bulgaria. He has been a guest of the Tanglewood\, Ravinia\, Rockport and Monadnock Music Festivals as well as many of the country’s fine symphony orchestras. His recent New York City Opera debut as monodrama soloist in Argento’s A Waterbird Talk performed at Carnegie Hall\, compelled the New York Classical Review to state\, “Engebreth is a marvelous actor\, capable of holding his character’s many facets and motivations in tension.”\n\n\nAs a recording artist\, Mr. Engebreth is featured on over 25 commercially released recordings from the baroque to modern premieres\, many with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project.  He produced and recorded The Complete Songs of Virgil Thomson with Florestan Recital Project and New World Records\, which is garnering international acclaim. Other releases include the world premiere of the Six Early Songs of Samuel Barber and Libby Larsen’s The Peculiar Case of Dr. H. H. Holmes\, both for Florestan Records and Jon Deak’s The Passion of Scrooge with the Firebird Ensemble. \n\n\nAbout Alison d’Amato\n\nPianist Alison d’Amato (she/they) has been working in vocal and instrumental genres for more than twenty-five years as a collaborative pianist\, teacher\, and music director. Known as a trailblazer in the field of art song\, she directs her passion for song’s rich history towards generating new music and merging its past with its present. In all her activities\, Dr. d’Amato is dedicated to energizing relationships in music and bringing student’s love for their art to the forefront of their projects.\n\n\nAlison has long explored projects that promote interdisciplinary collaborations and new approaches to the performer-audience relationship.

Alison is currently Program Co-Director of “(art) Song Lab\,” a unique collaborative intensive which brings together writers\, composers\, and performers to create new art songs. \nDr. d’Amato’s breadth of artistic experience has made her a valued partner in creative projects and an effective leader in several organizations.

His incredible journey spans five-and-a-half decades\, and includes – but is not limited to – adventures with Bob Dylan\, George Harrison\, Jerry Garcia\, the Grateful Dead\, Emmylou Harris\, Bonnie Rait and music and life lessons from seminal blues guitarist Reverend Gary Davis\, who claimed the young Bromberg as a son. \nA musician’s musician\, Bromberg’s mastery of several stringed instruments (guitar\, fiddle\, Dobro\, mandolin)\, and multiple styles is legendary\, leading Dr. John to declare him an American icon.  In producing John Hartford’s hugely influential Aereo-Plain LP\, Bromberg even co-invented a genre: Newgrass. \nAdd in a period of self-imposed exile from his passion (1980-2002)\, during which he became a renowned violin expert\, and Wilmington\, Delaware’s cultural ambassador; top that off with a triumphant return to music-making\, and you have an amazing tale leading back to one place: the blues. \nThe David Bromberg Quintet eventually emerged\, settling into its current lineup of Mark Cosgrove (guitar\, mandolin\, vocals)\, Nate Grower (fiddle\, mandolin\, guitar\, vocals)\, Josh Kanusky (drums\, vocals)\, and newest member\, Suavek Zaniesienko (bass\, vocals).  Joining David’s core band are keyboardist extraordinaire Dan Walker on piano\, organ and accordion\, a stellar horn section of Bromberg regulars like Birch Johnson (trombone)\, Jon-Erik Kellso (trumpet)\, Matt Koza (tenor sax) and Bob Stewart (tuba) with Larry Campbell on mandolin and pedal steel. \nThe new album\, Big Road\, gives Bromberg fans the most intimate portrait to date of David and the band\, musically and visually. Featuring twelve new tracks\, five hi-def performance videos and a mini-documentary detailing the album’s creation.  We think you’ll agree that this intimate performance with the David Bromberg Quintet is a trip worth taking.
