Book Synopsis From Kitchen to Carnegie Hall by : Maria Noriega Rachwal
Download or read book From Kitchen to Carnegie Hall written by Maria Noriega Rachwal and published by Second Story Press. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1940s it was unheard of for women to be members of a professional orchestra, let alone play "masculine" instruments like the bass or trombone. Yet despite these formidable challenges, the Montreal Women's Symphony Orchestra (MWSO) became the only all-women orchestra in Canadian history. Formed in 1940, the MWSO became the first orchestra to represent Canada in New York City's Carnegie Hall and one of its members also became the first Canadian black woman to play in a symphony in Carnegie Hall. While the MWSO has paved the way for contemporary female musicians, the stories of these women are largely missing from historical records. From Kitchen to Carnegie Hall illuminates these revolutionary stories, including the life of the incredible Ethel Stark, the co-founder and conductor of the MWSO. Ethel's work opened doors of equal opportunity for marginalized groups and played an important role in breaking gender stereotypes in the Canadian music world.

Download or read book Philharmonic written by Howard Shanet and published by Doubleday Books. This book was released on 1975 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the author traces the history of America's oldest symphonic organization down to the beginning of Pierre Boulez's conductorship. Against the background of changing cultural patterns of American life over a century and a quarter, the author examines interactions between the New York Philharmonic and the society in which it functioned. There are colorful personality portraits, often tied to surprising reappraisals of such glamorous Philharmonic stars as Arturo Toscanini (who enjoined other conductors to play every note "as written," but who felt free - as the author documents - to make his own changes to the scores of the masters), Gustav Mahler, Dimitri Mitropoulos, Leopold Stokowski, Bruno Walter, and the spectacular Leonard Bernstein. The author gives the reader insight into an organization that has helped shape America's musical taste - an organization that has brought its performances to the largest audiences in the annals of symphonic music, yet has often suffered from "the vast, and largely unjustified, inferiority complex that has oppressed American music throughout its history."
Book Synopsis A Power Stronger Than Itself by : George E. Lewis
Download or read book A Power Stronger Than Itself written by George E. Lewis and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1965 and still active today, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) is an American institution with an international reputation. George E. Lewis, who joined the collective as a teenager in 1971, establishes the full importance and vitality of the AACM with this communal history, written with a symphonic sweep that draws on a cross-generational chorus of voices and a rich collection of rare images. Moving from Chicago to New York to Paris, and from founding member Steve McCall’s kitchen table to Carnegie Hall, A Power Stronger Than Itself uncovers a vibrant, multicultural universe and brings to light a major piece of the history of avant-garde music and art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shelley spends her days running a soup kitchen in the Bronx, her sense of purpose inseparable from her religious faith, though both have begun to waver. Emma, a college dropout looking for direction, arrives at the kitchen hoping to find it there. She brings a needed jolt to the place, helping a long-time client toward a new job, but her energy also proves unsettling. Even as her behavior grows steadily more erratic, Shelley still wants to believe in her, despite the mounting evidence that she shouldn’t. Shelley must finally ask herself how well she really knows the people she sees everyday, how much she can trust them, and what she can and cannot forgive.
Book Synopsis Kitchen Classics from the Philharmonic by : June LeBell
Download or read book Kitchen Classics from the Philharmonic written by June LeBell and published by Doubleday Books. This book was released on 1992 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 1992-93 season marks the 150th anniversary of the oldest symphony orchestra in the United States, and Kitchen Classics from the Philharmonic celebrates this special event with a collection of mouthwatering, innovative recipes, plus amusing, enlightening, loving, and laughable anecdotes contributed by the composers, conductors, artists, executives, and friends who have been associated with the New York Philharmonic in the course of its illustrious history." "From Alice Tully to Isaac Stern, more than 150 friends and family of the Philharmonic have contributed their favorite recipes and reminiscences to this delectable anniversary tribute. And June LeBell (whose relationship with the orchestra dates back to her own debut - with Leonard Bernstein conducting the Philharmonic and the chorus from the High School of Music and Art) supplies not only a trio of delicious picnic recipes but also the witty and original "program note" introducing each of the contributors, and her own imaginative, sometimes rambunctious choice of music to accompany each dish." "Ms. LeBell's long-lasting and intimate relationships with virtually everyone and everything to do with the Philharmonic, as well as her love of good food and her encyclopedic knowledge of recorded music, make this a very special volume, larded with love and spiced with saucy sophistication. Al Hirschfeld's signature illustrations provide the deliciously frothy icing on the cake."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: Growing up in a lace-curtain Irish suburb of Boston, secretly trying on his sister's dresses and spending his evenings after school in the city's chicest boutiques, Cunningham dreamed of a life dedicated to fashion. When he arrived in New York in 1948, he reveled in people-watching. He became a photographer for The New York Times, and after two style mavens took Cunningham under their wing he made a name for himself as a designer. Taking on the alias William J.-- because designing under his family's name would have been a disgrace to his parents--he became one of the era's most outlandish and celebrated hat designers, catering to movie stars, heiresses, and artists alike. Written with his infectious joy and one-of-a-kind voice, this memoir was polished, neatly typewritten, and safely stored away until after his death in 2016 -- adapted from jacket.
