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. The pianist graduated from the Gnessin Moscow Special School of Music in the class of Elena Berezkina.

Don’t miss this evening of savvy satire with the boundary-breaking Bill Maher. \nAbout Bill Maher\nFor more than twenty-five years\, Bill Maher has set the boundaries of where funny\, political talk can go on American television. First on “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central\, ABC\, 1993- 2002)\, and for the last nineteen years on HBO’s “Real Time\,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 41 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series\, “VICE.” In October of 2008\, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion\, “Religulous\,” directed by Larry Charles (“Borat”). \nIn addition to his television program – which has featured such visitors as President Barack Obama\, Vice President Joseph Biden\, Bernie Sanders\, Elizabeth Warren\, Mayor Pete Buttigieg\, Howard Stern\, Barbra Streisand\, Kerry Washington\, Michael Steele\, Megyn Kelly\, Ronan Farrow\, Howard Dean\, Michael Moore\, Eva Longoria\, Rev.

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. In 2003\, she became Artistic Co-Director of Florestan Recital Project\, one of the earliest organizations to champion art song performances\, recordings\, and mentoring. 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. In 2017\, she joined ArtsBridge as Co-Creator & Faculty for the Artsbridge Summer Art Song program\, a college audition preparatory program for high school students that includes courses in song repertoire\, poetry\, performance masterclasses\, and vocal coaching. She taught for more than 10 years at University at Buffalo\, ultimately serving as Director of Music Theatre in 2021-2022. Dr. d’Amato was most recently appointed Associate Professor of Vocal Coaching and Coordinator of Vocal Coaching at Eastman School of Music\, beginning Fall 2022.

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.

The evening’s program will consist of four world premieres written for Liminal Space Ensemble by composers Charles Burns\, Evan Courtin\, Dan Langa\, and Kyle Miller.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nAbout Liminal Space Ensemble\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The word liminal comes from the Latin word limen\, meaning threshold – any point or place of entering or beginning. A liminal space is the time between the ‘what was’ and the ‘next.’ It is a place of transition\, waiting\, and not knowing. Classical music audiences have been dwindling for generations due to loss of interest in 2021’s fast paced world. Liminal Space Ensemble leans into this rapid change and offers a new model for enjoying classical music with the belief that the future of our industry is in reflecting programming choices for diverse audiences\, and showing that classical music is by and for everyone. \nBased in Buffalo\, NY\, Liminal Space Ensemble was founded in August 2019 by Nicole Murray (flute) and Hope Wilk (harp) and features a core artist lineup of the top chamber musicians in the area; Nicole Murray (flute)\, Josh Lauretig (oboe)\, Michael Tumiel (clarinet)\, Hope Wilk (harp)\, Madeline Olsen (harp)\, Mikyung Kim (piano)\, Juan Herrera (percussion)\, John Smigielski (percussion)\, Evan Courtin (violin)\, Shannon Reilly (violin)\, Isabel Ong (violin)\, Bob Donowick (viola)\, Alex Cousins (cello)\, Katie Weissman (cello)\, Jonathan Borden (bass)\, and Tom Torissi (guitar). When not performing with LSE\, members can be found performing with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra\, Buffalo Chamber Players\, and several other prestigious ensembles. LSE’s musicians represent the top music conservatories in the world including Curtis\, Juilliard\, Peabody\, Manhattan School of Music\, SF Conservatory of Music\, New England Conservatory\, and the Glenn Gould School of Music at the Royal Conservatory. \nLSE was named the ensemble-in-residence at the Burchfield Penney Art Center and was invited to San Francisco to perform at the Hot Air Music Festival in 2020. During the pandemic\, LSE moved their programming online and hosted two full-length virtual concerts\, eight virtual trivia nights\, and participated in the inaugural Queen City Quarantine Concert presented by Rise Collaborative.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/event/liminal-space-ensemble/ LOCATION:Kleinhans Music Hall\, 3 Symphony Circle \, Buffalo\, NY\, 14201\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/Untitled-design-24.png GEO:42.9025038;-78.8817523 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Kleinhans Music Hall 3 Symphony Circle Buffalo NY 14201 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3 Symphony Circle:geo:-78.8817523,42.9025038 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211105T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211105T190000 DTSTAMP:20260617T105625 CREATED:20210609T223103Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211101T182749Z UID:3732-1636138800-1636138800@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:Chelsea Handler: Vaccinated and Horny Tour DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Chelsea Handler is a comedian\, television host\, best-selling author and advocate whose humor and candor have established her as one of the most celebrated voices in entertainment and pop culture.
