First on the program is the recently commissioned piece by Ionica Pop\, Impressions from Romania\, reflects through music the joy of celebration and the need for human communion and peace. \nIn The Seven Dreams of Frida Kahlo for Clarinet and String Quartet\, composer Ovidiu Marinescu takes us on an imaginary journey of dreams\, from Mayan ritual dances\, to mariachi music\, to be-bop jazz—which Frida Kahlo heard in New York in her travels with partner Diego Rivera\, to an Arabic dream\, as well as a pagan dance of Russian character. \nSteven Reich’s Different Trains for String Quartet and pre-recorded performance tape\, expresses the basic idea that carefully chosen speech recordings generate the musical materials for musical instruments. The piece is inspired by the composer’s childhood. When Steven Reich was one year his parents separated. The mother moved to Los Angeles and the father remained in New York. He travelled back and forth by train frequently between New York and Los Angeles from 1939 to 1942 accompanied by the governess. While the trips were exciting and romantic at the time Steven Reich is looking back as an adult realizing that if he had been in Europe during this period\, as a Jew he would have had to ride very different trains. \nGuests for the evening will be poet Dorel Tataru and composer Ovidiu Marinescu. \nThe concert will be held at The War Memorial in the Alger Center Ballroom. \nDoors open at 6 p.m.; Concert Begins at 7 p.m. \nCash Bar Available. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text css=””] \nArtists\nSujin Lim\, violin\nMarian Tanau\, violin\nEva Stern\, viola\nDavid LeDoux\, cello\nShannon Orme\, clarinet\nOvidiu Marinescu\, composer\nDorel Tataru\, poet[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”1347″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/sujin-lim/”][vc_single_image image=”1657″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http://americanromanianfestival.org/project/marian-tanau/”][vc_single_image image=”2409″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/eva-stern/”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”711″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http://americanromanianfestival.org/project/david-ledoux”][vc_single_image image=”2538″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/shannon-orme/”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”2540″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/ovidiu-marinescu/”][vc_single_image image=”2596″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/dorel-tataru/”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text css=””] \nConcert Program\nPoetry Reading with Dorel Tataru \nIonica Pop (b. 1967)\nImpressions from Romania\n••• World premiere; commissioned by the American Romanian Festival •••\n \nOvidiu Marinescu (b. 1965)\nThe Seven Dreams of Frida Kahlo for Clarinet and String Quartet\nI.

SUMMARY:Consonance vs Dissonance / October 19\, 2024

West Maple Road\, Commerce Charter Township\, MI 48390 \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]buy tickets[vc_empty_space height=”25px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]General Admission: $25\nStudents (through undergraduate with ID): $10 \nMozart’s String Quartet No. 19 in C Major\, K. 465\, is nicknamed “Dissonance” due to the unusual\, dissonant counterpoint found in its slow introduction. It is perhaps the most famous of his quartets. The 22-bar Adagio opens with quiet eighth-note Cs in the cello. The viola then joins on A-flat and the second violin on E-flat. The first dissonance is created once the first violin enters on an A\, thus creating tension between the A-flat and A that will be a recurring feature in the entire quartet. This introduction presents the major ideas that will recur throughout the piece. Almost two hundred years later\, Romanian composer Pascal Bentoiu’s String Quartet No. 2\, “Consonance\,” is an example of very tonal music in an age when dissonance is taken to exaggerated levels and reigns in much music of the time. Bentoiu believed that perhaps the consonant chords in his work will provoke the same unpleasantness as Mozart’s dissonant chords did in his String Quartet No. 19. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text css=””] \nArtists\nSujin Lim\, violin\nMarian Tanau\, violin\nMike Chen\, viola\nJeremy Crosmer\, cello\nPompilian Tofilescu\, poet[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”1347″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/sujin-lim/”][vc_single_image image=”1657″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http://americanromanianfestival.org/project/marian-tanau/”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”1661″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http://americanromanianfestival.org/project/michael-chen/”][vc_single_image image=”1350″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http://americanromanianfestival.org/project/jeremy-crosmer/”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”2599″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/pompilian-tofilescu/”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text css=””] \nConcert Program\nPoetry Reading with Pompilian Tofilescu \nPascal Bentoiu (1927–2016)\nString Quartet No. 2\, “Consonance\,” Op. 19\nI.
