SUMMARY:Newton Piano Summit – Domas Žeromskas and Dennis Montgomery III
DESCRIPTION:Domas Žeromskas: Dynamic Trailblazer\nThe music of Domas Žeromskas is fresh\, creative\, full of spirit & wonderful musical ideas and his playing shines thru all.– Bob James \nDomas Žeromskas’ playing showcases beauty\, inventiveness\, maturity\, and excitement. All of this\, along with his considerable writing chops\, make him a player to watch out for.\n– Greg Tardy \nAll the younger artists that have headlined the Summit have displayed prodigious abilities that signal long careers ahead. The 24-year-old Lithuanian jazz pianist and composer has spent his early formative years on stage alongside prominent jazz veterans. By the time he graduated high school\, Domas was already a sought-after player\, known for his technical versatility and soulful\, eclectic taste. \nHe resides in Boston while pursuing his master’s at the New England Conservatory. Domas’ original music combines Post-Bop and metrically-nuanced modern jazz with Gospel/sacred music traditions and Afro-Caribbean styles. The repertoire is also enriched by modern adaptations of his native Lithuanian composers’ songbook and Baltic folklore. \nUpon graduating from Berklee\, Domas recorded “Meditations on Providence and Perseverance\, Vol.1”. \nDennis Montgomery III : Gospel Giant\nMontgomery grew up singing and playing in Baptist churches around the upper Louisiana area under the tutelage of his father and mother\, By the time he was nine years old he was proficient enough on the Hammond B3 Organ to get hired to work alongside his father. Montgomery came to Berklee College of Music in 1983. Shortly after he arrived at Berklee\, he headed for the gospel choir which had only recently come into existence. While Berklee’s education is focused on jazz\, “We know that jazz has its roots in the negro spiritual\, which is gospel music. Gospel is also the mother of a lot of other secular music that America has produced.” \nGospel at Berklee grew rapidly and when Mongomery graduated he assumed the direction of the Reverence Gospel Ensemble as a full-time faculty member. Montgomery believes that the choir is a fundamental ingredient of the American experience for international students\, which is probably why students from all over Asia\, South America\, Europe\, and Australia all come to be a part of the choir. Montgomery states\, “When I was young\, I had to learn European musical styles. So when foreign students come to Berklee\, I think it is important to educate them in a true form of American music.” The choir has served as a catalyst for some premiere voices in the music industry such as Paula Cole\, Lalah Hathaway\, Susan Tedeschi\, Claude Kelly\, Rob Lewis and Mark Whitfield. \nThis program is supported in part by grants from the Village Bank which has a long tradition of commitment to the Garden City\, Advance Auto in Nonantum – providing quality service for everything automotive\, Honda Village\, and the Newton Cultural Council\, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, a state agency\, Newton Community Pride\, the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, Charles River Foundation and private donors.

SUMMARY:Newton Piano Summit - Paul Bloom and George Russell Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Paul Bloom : Defies Category \nPaul distinguished himself quickly as a prodigiously creative talent in the Boston area before moving to New York City. Originally from Needham\, Massachusetts\, Paul was enthralled by music as a child and started taking piano lessons at age 5. As a teenager\, he took lessons with Steve Sussman\, Doug Johnson\, and Hal Crook\, while performing weekly at Wally’s Jazz Club. He also joined New England Conservatory and Berklee College of Music programs\, studying with renowned artists and educators including Austin McMahon\, Tiger Okoshi\, Alexei Tsiganov\, Joanne Brackeen\, Wes Wirth\, Ken Schaphorst\, and Julian Lage. \nPaul participated in the Brubeck Institute Fellowship Program from 2012-2013\, where he worked with mentors Joe Gilman\, Stefon Harris\, Patrick Langham\, and Brian Kendrick. After moving to New York City in 2013\, he began studies at Columbia University and discovered a fascination with neuroscience. Over the following years\, he balanced studies in developmental neuroscience with a regular schedule of performances and recording sessions\, as well as lessons with Frank Kimbrough and Bruce Barth. \nOver the past decade\, Paul has been an active member of the New York City music scene\, playing and recording with artists spanning many musical styles\, including Jess Best\, Taylor Simone Harvey\, iiii\, Justin Carter\, Alex Graff\, Bria Monét\, Chandanie\, Sedric Perry\, Elysse\, Jazze Belle\, Marcus Machado\, Kendra Foster\, and JSWISS. He has had opportunities to perform at premier venues\, including the Blue Note\, Apollo Theater\, Dizzy’s Club\, Nublu\, Celebrate Brooklyn Festival\, San Jose Jazz Festival\, NYC Winter Jazz Festival\, The Bowery Ballroom\, Jazz at Lincoln Center\, and the California Jazz Conservatory. \nGeorge Russell Jr. : Fusion of Gospel and Jazz \nGeorge Russell Jr. is a name that hardly needs an introduction\, he recently performed with vocalist Dominque Eade at the Allen House. This year’s performance will make him the Summit’s first three-time performer​ since moving from the Waban Library. A pianist renowned for his passion\, fire\, soul\, and spirit\, he has recently embarked on a sabbatical from his teaching responsibilities to focus on his latest recording project\, Reimagined. This album offers a fresh and inspired take on his favorite spirituals and hymns\, reflecting his deep musical roots. \nCurrently\, George serves as Chair of the Harmony Department at Berklee College of Music\, a role preceded by his tenure as a Professor of Harmony and Piano. Despite focusing on the piano\, George often describes himself as “a drummer who happens to play the piano.” This rhythmic sensibility is evident in every performance\, where his strong sense of groove and timing infuses his music with dynamic energy and depth. \nThrough his teaching\, performances\, and recordings\, George Russell Jr. continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of music\, blending tradition with innovation in ways that resonate with audiences and inspire future generations. \nThis program is supported in part by grants from the Village Bank which has a long tradition of commitment to the Garden City\, Advance Auto in Nonantum – providing quality service for everything automotive\, Honda Village\, and the Newton Cultural Council\, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, a state agency\, Newton Community Pride\, the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, Charles River Foundation and private donors.

SUMMARY:Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra presents Treasures of Youth and Age
DESCRIPTION:Pro Arte’s 47th season opens with Louisville-based conductor Gabriel Lefkowitz leading an expressive program for the strings\, principal clarinetist Ian Greitzer\, and principal bassoonist Ronald Haroutunian. In her Canyons\, from 2018\, Tanner Porter paints nature at its most jagged\, imposing\, and majestic. A work like no other\, Richard Strauss’s vibrant Duett-Concertino features writing so organic\, its solo clarinet and bassoon seem to become living\, breathing characters. Although Josef Suk’s warm Serenade was a departure from his melancholy style\, it won him early critical acclaim from Johannes Brahms and positioned him as the successor to his teacher Antonín Dvořák\, and it brings this first concert to an elegant close.

SUMMARY:Pro Arte presents Strings of Light
DESCRIPTION:Pro Arte welcomes conductor Adrian Slywotsky for a fascinating concert with Pro Arte’s strings.  Rather than featuring a soloist\, Vivaldi’s boisterous Concerto for Strings in D Major gives the whole orchestra a chance to show off.  In her 2013 Teen Murti (“three representations” in Hindi)\, Reena Esmail combines traditional Hindustani raag with Western composition technique to present\, in her words\, “three large musical ‘figures’ that are adjoined by short interludes—similar to the idea behind Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.”  Pēteris Vasks’s named his second cello concerto Klātbūtne\, Latvian for “presence” and an allusion to the work’s spiritual meditation on the human condition.  Vasks has said the work “suggests the soul ascending into the cosmos\,” which is especially true of its elegiac final movement.  In Ludwig van Beethoven’s first string quartet\, arranged for Pro Arte by its cellist Leo Egughi\, we hear the composer marking the genre bequeathed to him by Haydn and Mozart with his own distinct and consequential voice. \nMusical Program\nAntonio Vivaldi String Symphony No. 2 in D Major\, \nPeteris Vasks Adagio from Cello Concerto No. 2 “Presence” \nReena Esmail Teen Murti \nLudwig van Beethoven String Quartet No. 1\, op 18\, arr. Eguchi

SUMMARY:Pro Arte presents The Unbroken Circle
DESCRIPTION:THE UNBROKEN CIRCLE\nApril 7\, 2024 \n3:00PM \nSecond Church in Newton \n60 Highland Street\, West Newton\, MA\, USA \nMusical Program\nJeff Beal Overture to Pollock\nRichard Strauss Horn Concerto No. 1 in E-flat Major\, op. 11\nBeal The Great Circle\nOttorino Respighi Gli Uccelli (The Birds) \nTICKETS\nIn April\, Emmy-winning composer Jeff Beal leads Pro Arte in a wide-ranging concert featuring his own works and Boston Symphony Orchestra hornist Michael Winter. Known for writing soundtracks to numerous films and television series\, including House of Cards\, Beal opens the concert with his sparkling Pollock Overture\, from the 2000 film directed by and starring Ed Harris. The concerto and its soloist share a paternal connection: Richard Strauss composed his majestic first horn concerto for his father Franz\, and Winter’s first horn teacher was his father’s father James. Beal’s suite The Great Circle\, a response to California’s tragic wildfires and mudslides in 2017–18\, depicts nature’s elements—earth\, air\, fire\, water—and their cyclic power to destroy and renew. Ottorino Respighi composed several suites based on music from earlier centuries. His enchanting Gli uccelli (The Birds) presents orchestral arrangements of Baroque harpsichord pieces inspired by birds.

DESCRIPTION:Classical Lines\nSunday\, October 29\, 2023 3pm\nMischa Santora\, conductor & Tommy Mesa\, cello \nPro Arte opens its season in dramatic fashion with conductor Mischa Santora\, Music Director of Boston Ballet\, and Cuban-American cellist Tommy Mesa. In Jessie Montgomery’s Divided\, which Mesa premiered in 2022\, a solo cello gives expressive voice to the unsettled individual living in a conflicted society. Camille Saint-Saëns\, by casting his dynamic first cello concerto as a single movement\, leads the listener on a seamless journey by turns stormy and refined. The concert concludes with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor\, a work well loved for its intense emotional energy.

SUMMARY:Pro Arte presents Dancing Through the Centuries
DESCRIPTION:Dancing through the Centuries\nSunday\, May 21\, 2023 3pm\nEarl Lee\, conductor \nPro Arte and Earl Lee\, Assistant Conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra\, have crafted a fascinating program based on music and movement stretching back six hundred years. Béla Bartók wrote that he would raise the folk music in and around his native Hungary “to the level of art song.” His popular Romanian Folk Dances are evocative arrangements of traditional Transylvanian fiddle tunes. The soulful songs of Southern chain gangs inspired Kenji Bunch’s powerful Supermaximum. Battalia\, by Baroque composer Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber\, is a bracing depiction of a battle that requires unconventional techniques from its string players. As the first Black woman to be widely recognized as a symphonic composer\, Florence Price was a pioneer in American music. Her Andante moderato is a luminous arrangement of the slow movement from one of her string quartets. In music\, La Follia—Italian for “folly”—refers to a frenzied peasant dance from fifteenth-century Portugal. The dance’s catchy chord progression later spread throughout Europe\, forming the basis for countless compositions\, including a set of variations for solo violin by Arcangelo Corelli\, which was later arranged by his pupil Francesco Geminiani for string orchestra. In her La Follia Variations\, contemporary composer Michi Wiancko takes this a step further\, reflecting Geminiani’s Baroque concerto grosso in a dreamy twenty-first-century mirror. \nPROGRAM\nBéla Bartók Romanian Dances\nKenji Bunch Supermaximum\nHeinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber Battalia\nFlorence Price Andante moderato\nArcangelo Corelli/Francesco Geminiani\, Arr.

Violinist Steven Copes returns for a concert where all voices are equal and all parts share in the spotlight.\n\nPro Arte welcomes conductor Alyssa Wang and violinist Steven Copes\, Concertmaster of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra\, for a concert of riveting works\, both warmly familiar and boldly inventive.  In Frog’s Eye\, the contemporary composer Evan Ziporyn meticulously layers musical lines to open a vista bustling with life.  The Concerto for string orchestra by the twentieth-century Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz is a carefully crafted work of breathtaking force.  Johannes Brahms composed his majestic Violin Concerto for the violinist Joseph Joachim\, a close friend and collaborator.  Throughout the stately opening movement\, the lyrical Adagio\, and the fiery finale\, Brahms’s music is characteristically expressive\, heartfelt\, and dramatic.
