It was as if he was reading my mind…” Aaron Copland on hearing pianist Randall Hodgkinson performing his Piano Fantasy in Jordan Hall\, Boston \nRandy achieved recognition as the Grand Prize winner of the International American Music competition\, sponsored by Carnegie Hall and the Rockefeller Foundation\, winner in the JS Bach International Competition\, and as the recipient of the Tanglewood Music Center’s prestigious Cabot Award. His solo orchestral performances include appearances with the Atlanta Symphony\, the Philadelphia\, the Boston Symphony\, and Cleveland Orchestras\, the Buffalo Philharmonic\, and the New York Symphony. He has also performed at numerous well regarded chamber music festivals\, including but not limited to: Blue Hill (Maine)\, Chestnut Hill (Connecticut)\, Seattle (Washington) and Santa Fe (New Mexico). \n As both of Randy’s parents were musicians\, Randy began his musical career at a very young age\, with his mother as his first teacher. “Discovered” at a music festival at age 15 he was encouraged to apply for admission to the New England Conservatory of music\, where he earned a BA\, MM and AD. \nHis musical repertoire spans from JS Bach to Donald Marino\, and he recently performed the world premier of the piano concerto of composer Gardener Read at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester\, N.Y.

The recital provides these talented local students the opportunity to perform on a world class piano before a live audience in a beautiful setting. \nThe Piano Festival honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham\, founder and first chairperson of Ogunquit Performing Arts. A pianist herself\, Betty studied\, performed and taught piano for most of her life. She also saw to it that OPA acquired its spectacular Steinway Concert Model C Grand Piano\, which still remains OPA’s greatest treasure. \nThe Ogunquit Performing Arts Committee was Betty’s brain-child.  Her love of Ogunquit was matched by her love of the piano\, which she studied and taught for most of her life.  She long dreamed of the possibility that Ogunquit could support a program of musical performances to add to its attractiveness as a welcoming place for painters\, sculptors and summer theatre. \nWhen her father\, S. Judson Dunaway\, died in 1976\, his will directed that a portion of his estate be donated to charitable causes.  Betty requested that the executors include a contribution to Ogunquit to endow a fund to help support musical performances\, some to be held at the Dunaway Center\, which he earlier had donated to the town.  When this endowment was in place\, the Committee for the Performing Arts was formed and began its work\, with Betty elected as chairperson. \n \n \n \n \n \n Free admission for Student Recital  \nTickets to these performances are available on this website. . Tickets may also be purchased at the Cricket’s Corner Beach and Toy\, the Dunaway Center\, and the Ogunquit Welcome Center beginning three weeks prior to the performance. \nTickets: $20 in advance\, $25 at the door for both Weber and Hodgkinson concerts \nFree parking for the performances at the Barn Gallery URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/17th-annual-piano-festival-annual-student-piano-recital/ LOCATION:The Barn Gallery\, 3 Hartwig Lane (off Bourne Lane at Shore Road)\, Ogunquit\, Maine\, 03907 CATEGORIES:Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival,Live Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Elizabeth-Dunaway-Burnham-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241004T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241004T193000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133647 CREATED:20240827T185037Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240827T185041Z UID:10000211-1728070200-1728070200@ogunquitperformingarts.org SUMMARY:17th Annual Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival - Janice Weber DESCRIPTION:Janice Weber is a vivacious performer with a reputation for programing the most exciting and technically challenging selections – which certainly applies to her upcoming performance for OPA!  Her program includes works by Grieg and Liszt – a composer with whom she is particularly identified. \n“Ms. Weber is … a concert pianist of cliffhanging panache and daredevil brilliance.”  Ellen Pfeifer\, The Wall Street Journal \nHer world premiere recording of Liszt’s 1838 Transcendental Etudes elicited acclaim from Time Magazine: “Liszt later simplified these pieces into the still ferociously difficult Transcendental Etudes (1852 version) for fear that no one else could play them. There may now be several fire-eating piano virtuosos who can execute the original notes\, but few can liberate the prophetic music they contain as masterfully as Janice Weber does here.” \nMs. Weber recorded Liszt’s last Hungarian Rhapsody\, one of only two living pianists to be included in a compendium of historic performances by nineteen legendary artists. This disc subsequently won the International Liszt Prize. \nHer recordings also include Rachmaninoff’s complete transcriptions; with the Lydian Quartet\, Leo Ornstein’s vast Piano Quintet; flute and piano works of Sigfrid Karg-Elert; and waltz transcriptions of Godowsky\, Rosenthal\, and Friedman. \nHer Naxos recording of Leo Ornstein’s radical works introduced the charismatic composer to a worldwide audience. She is heard in Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time on Ongaku Records and her newest disc\, Cascade of Roses (Dorian Sono Luminus)\,features works of twenty-one composers from Adolf Jensen to Billy Mayerl. \nA summa cum laude graduate of the Eastman School of Music\, Janice Weber has performed at the White House\, Carnegie Hall\, Wigmore Hall\, National Gallery of Art\, and Boston’s Symphony Hall. She has appeared with the Boston Pops\, Chautauqua Symphony\, New Jersey Symphony\, Hilton Head Orchestra\, Sarajevo Philharmonic\, and Syracuse Symphony.   She has performed at the Bard\, Newport\, La Gesse\, Husum\, and Monadnock summer festivals and has twice toured China under the auspices of the American Liszt Society. \nShe was a member of the piano faculty at Boston Conservatory for twenty-seven years and has taught at MIT and New England Conservatory. \nMs. Weber is also a published author.  Her novels\, most of which have something to do with music\, have a worldwide following.  She also produced the tones for Ivory\, the worldwide bestselling virtual piano software. \nShe is a Steinway artist. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ms. Weber’s Program: \n\nPrelude and Fugue in E minor\, Op. 35 No. 1\n\nFelix Mendelssohn (1809 – 1847)\n\n\nLyric Pieces\n\nEdvard Grieg (1843 – 1907)\n\nTo Spring\,  Op. 43 No. 6\nMarch of the Trolls\, Op. 54 No. 3\nButterfly\, Op. 43 No. 1\nPeace of the Woods\, Op. 71 No. 4\nWedding Day at Troldhaugen\, Op. 65  No. 6\n\n\n\n\n\n Variations on a Theme of Corelli\, Op. 42\n\nSergei Rachmaninoff  (1873 – 1943)\n\n\n\nINTERMISSION \n\n St. Francis of Assisi Preaching to the Birds\n\nFranz Liszt (1811 – 1886)\n\n\nSt. Francis of Assisi Walking on the Waters\n\nFranz Liszt (1811 – 1886)\n\n\nHarmonies du Soir\n\nHungarian Rhapsody No. 12\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Tickets to these performances are available on this website.

Special dinner packages will be offered by Jonathan’s.  All ticket sales will accrue to the benefit of Ogunquit Performing Arts.\nFree Parking in Jonathan’s lot.  Elevator access to venue. \nAn acoustic band playing an exciting blend of gypsy\, jazz and folk music with burnished vocals from the first era of swing.\n \n \n \n \n \n Occidental Gypsy\, internationally acclaimed acoustic jazz band\, enraptures the listener with a complex acoustic sound.  Their music cannot be easily classified:  it’s a bit of jazz\, a strain of blues\, a seismic swing experience and “a whole lotta gypsified groove.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n According to David Bromberg\, “These guys have great singing\, fantastic guitar and violin work\, and high energy originals that leave the crowd crazy.  An awesome band!” \nHailing from New England\, this nationally touring acoustic jazz band performs a blend of gypsy jazz and folk music in a pioneering approach to traditional “hot club” jazz music\, paying homage to Django Reinhardt and expanding the genre to include elements of western (Occidental) sounds and rhythms\, including blues\, Klezmer and Latin. \nThe quintet has played in over 200 venues in over 30 states\, selling out legendary jazz clubs in Cleveland\, Chicago\, Indianapolis\, and Los Angeles. They have shared the stage with such greats as Wynton Marsalis\, Rikki Lee Jones\, Stanley Jordan\, Joe Sample\, and David Bromberg. \nMembers include: \n\nBrett Feldman- lead guitar\, composer\, co-arranger and a founder\nEli Bishop- All strings\, co-arranger\nJeremy Frantz- lead vocals\, rhythm guitar\nJeff Feldman- bass\nJohn Chapman- percussion\n\nEli Bishop\, a Nashville violin prodigy who began playing at age 3\, has played with Wynton Marsalis\, Bill Evans of the Miles Davis Group\, Vince Gill\, and the Wooten Brothers. Eli was awarded a Guinness Record for the world’s fastest clapping! \nBrett Feldman is a self-taught musician and composer. His original songs are challenging to execute even by the most seasoned gypsy jazz artists and are crafted as emotional renderings of important ideas. His most notable new piece\, also the title track of their recent CD- Song for Vrba: 44070- tells the story of the heroism of Rudolf Vrba\, who escaped Auschwitz in WW II\, and whose reporting of the atrocities led to an end of Hungarian deportation of Jews to Germany and is credited with saving the lives of over 200\,000. \nJeremy Frantz is a protégé of legendary guitarist Joe Negri. He is best known for his soulful singing of classic standards. More than once\, he has brought crowds to near silence through the warmth and openness of his vocals. \nJeff Feldman and John Chapman keep crowds moving with beats and complex rhythms with roots in Latin music and Klezmer\, well integrated into original compositions and supporting the richness of music that almost make them sound like they could be plugged in rather than acoustic. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Their sound appeals to a wide range of audiences\, from concert halls to clubs\, art centers to festivals. Their between-set banter and personal dynamics add entertainment value\, and audiences often find themselves dancing in the aisles! \nLISTEN TO THE BAND:  Listen to Over Here and #44070 by Occidental Gypsy | Occidental Gypsy (occidentalgypsyband.com) \nDue to the possibility that our home venue at the S. Judson Dunaway Center might not be available due to unforeseen circumstances\, OPA is grateful that Jonathan’s Restaurant\, Ogunquit\, graciously responded and provided OPA with their wonderful stage and facilities as an alternative venue for this event.

This year’s programming explores accessible\, but lesser-known and powerful music from the Viennese School of Classical and Romantic eras. \nThis year’s Boston Chamber musical artists will include: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Omar Chen Guey\, Violinist \nMr. Guey has performed as soloist\, in recitals and chamber concerts throughout his native Brazil\, the US\, Europe\, Asia and Africa. He has been a soloist with the Brazilian\, Campinas\, Goiania\, Mias Gerais\, Claudio Santoro National Theatre\, Sao Paulo University\, San Paulo Municipal\, State of San Paulo Symphony Orchestras\, Qatar Philharmonic\, Manhattan School of Music\, Stonu Brook University Symphony\, Maidstone Symphony and the Seychelles International Music Festival Orchestras. \nIn 2023\, he performed the Vivaldi Four Seasons with the Fribourg Youth Orchestra in Switzerland\, having previously performed the Britten Violin Concerto with them. He is a prizewinner at both Tibor Varga and Lipizer International Violin Competitions. \nHe is on the faculty of Dartmouth College. He is the assistant concertmaster of the Rhode Island Philharmonic\, a member of the Boston Ballet and the New England Camerata Trio. He’s been a guest artist with Radius Ensemble\, Boston Symphony Orchestra Chamber Players\, Worcester Chamber Music Society\, Walden Chamber Players and the Monadnock Music Festival. Mr. Guey’s premiere of the Violin Concerto by Jean-Charles Gandrille with the Qatar Philharmonic was released on the French recording label Paraty. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Peter Sulski\, Violist \nMr. Sulski was a member of the London Symphony Orchestra for seven years. While in England\, he served on the faculty of the Royal College of Music and Trinity College of Music and Drama\, as well as serving as Artistic Director of Chapel Royal Concerts which he founded in 1993. For seven years he gave the annual Viola Masterclass along with many solo recitals and chamber music concerts at the Dartington International Summer School. He made his Carnegie Hall Debut in 1999\, and his first London South Bank appearance in 2001. \nAfter a brief stint in the Middle East as Head of Strings of the National Palestinian Conservatory\, Bicommunal Coordinator for chamber music for the Cyprus Fulbright Commission and Principal Violist of the Cyprus Chamber Orchestra\, in 2002\, he returned with his wife Anita to his native Worcester where he is currently on the faculty of Clark University and College of the Holy Cross as teacher of violin/viola/chamber music. He is a member of QX and Mistral. Peter is also Artistic Director of the Thayer Festival in Lancaster\, MA and records for Centaur Records. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Brent Selby\, Cellist \nA cellist and teacher\, Mr. Selby is from the small town of Bath\, North Carolina\, where he was raised on a farm. Up until age eleven he thought he would end up farming crops like his father\, but after seeing Yo-Yo Ma perform on PBS he decided he was interested in music and learning to play the cello. Luckily\, Doris Hamilton\, a retired violinist\, had recently moved to the area and agreed to teach him until she could find him a proper cello teacher. He eventually went on to study with Wendy Bissinger and then at 17\, he studied with Emanuel Gruber\, Cello faculty at East Carolina University. \nMr. Selby earned his bachelor’s degree from the New England Conservatory studying with Natasha Brofsky and then went on to study privately with violinist\, Mela Tenenbaum. In addition to performing with various local ensembles\, he began teaching cello for Lifelong Music Academy in Franklin\, MA where he has now been teaching for over a decade. Mr. Selby is passionate about providing quality music instruction for children as much as he loves performing. In 2018\, Mr. Selby joined the Rhode Island Philharmonic’s cello section\, and in 2021 he was appointed assistant principal cellist of the Portland Symphony Orchestra. In 2022\, Mr. Selby was appointed principal cellist of the Rhode Island Philharmonic\, and in 2024 he was appointed principal cellist of the Boston Lyric Opera. Although he never took up farming\, his wife Jackie\, also a cellist\, often ropes him into weeding her ever expanding garden! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Featured composers for this year’s Chamber Music Festival include three of the most prodigious composers of the Classical and Romantic eras\, performing and composing across virtually every musical genre. All were child prodigies\, as both composers and musicians and all were thought to have crossed paths as adults in Vienna and to have influenced one another’s music. \nFranz Schubert (1797-1828) Austrian composer\, born in Vienna\, he was considered the last of the Classical composers\, and one of the first of the Romantic era\, his music bridged both worlds. When he died at 31 years of age\, he left a vast body of over 1500 works: more than 600 secular vocal works\, complete symphonies\, sacred music\, operas\, as well as a large body of piano sonatas and chamber music. His influence on later composers extends into the modern era\, including harmonies used by the Beatles. Schubert’s gift for creating beautiful melodies remains almost unsurpassed in music history. Growing up in an everchanging political landscape (during his childhood\, Vienna was essentially a police state) had a profound influence on his work. \nLudwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) German composer and pianist\, his works are among the most performed classical music\, and spans the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era. One of the most revered figures in the history of Western music\, he ranks among the most performed of the classical music repertoire. Displaying his musical talent at a young age\, he moved to Vienna at age 21 and studied composition with Haydn. He gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. He composed his first works for patrons at the age of 25. His first major orchestral work and first set of string quartets were published in the early 1800s. Almost completely deaf by 1814\, he composed most of his most admired works during the time of increasing hearing loss. Written in his last years\, his late string quartets are among his finest achievements. \nWolfgang Mozart (1756- 1791) Austrian composer widely considered one of the greatest composers in the history of Western classical music. He composed more than 800 works in almost every Western classical genre of his time: symphonic\, concertante\, chamber\, operatic and choral repertoire. The forms were not new\, but Mozart advanced their technical sophistication and emotional reach. Beethoven (some 15 years younger) was deeply influenced by his work. Like his fellow composers and musicians of this period\, he was a child prodigy\, at the age of 5\, he was already competent on keyboard and violin and had begun composing and performing at court at the age of 6. He was becoming familiar with other musicians and composers\, and at age 8\, visited Johann Bach\, who became a significant influence. It was then that he wrote his first symphony\, which he played and was most likely transcribed by his father. He became friends with Haydn who declared to Mozart’s father: “Your son is the greatest composer known to me by person and repute; he has taste and what is more\, the greatest skill in composition.” Most of his best known symphonies\, piano concertos and operas were created in the final decade of his life. The last year of his life was a time of high productivity when he composed some of his most admired works: The Magic Flute (opera)\, the last in his series of string quartets\, final piano concerto\, and the unfinished Requiem.

Special dinner packages will be offered by Jonathan’s.  All ticket sales will accrue to the benefit of Ogunquit Performing Arts. \n \n \n \n \n \n Pianist Matt DeChamplain and violinist Jason Anick celebrate the release of their newest CD\, paying tribute to jazz giants pianist Oscar Peterson and violinist Stephane Grappelli. \n \n \n \n \n \n OPA gratefully acknowledges Jonathan’s Restaurant\, Ogunquit\, for graciously providing OPA with their wonderful stage and facilities for this special event\, (due to the possibility that our home venue at the S. Judson Dunaway Center might not be available due to unforeseen circumstances). \n \n \n \n \n \n Pianist Matt DeChamplain and violinist Jason Anick team up to celebrate the release of their newest CD\, which pays tribute to jazz giants and frequent collaborators\, pianist Oscar Peterson and violinist Stephane Grappelli. Rounding out the group for this special concert will be Max O’Rourke on Guitar and Eduardo Belo on bass. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Listen to Jason and Matt \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jason and Matt have each performed for Ogunquit Performing Arts (OPA) in Ogunquit for more than 10 years\, having been invited back to perform here numerous times to ecstatic audiences. Their new collaboration and return to our community is much anticipated both by long-time fans and jazz afficionados\, old and new. \nBerklee College of Music Professor Jason Anick\, has earned a reputation among string players as an imaginative improviser\, versatile composer\, and insightful educator. Growing up playing fiddle tunes with his family and classical music with local orchestras\, he developed a passion for improvisation\, which led him to study jazz and classical music at Hartt Conservatory. In 2008\, Anick started what would be a 10-year stint touring and recording with Grammy award-winning guitar virtuoso John Jorgenson while still a senior at Hartt Conservatory. \nAs a band-leader\, Anick has launched a variety of musical projects over the years\, including the Gypsy Jazz group Rhythm Future Quartet\, an Americana-inspired Acoustic Trio\, and a contemporary jazz ensemble with pianist Jason Yeager. His string of recordings (Sleepless\, Tipping Point\, United\, Travels\, Rhythm Future Quartet and Friends) has earned him praise from Downbeat Magazine as a “Rising Star in the world of jazz violin\,” and from the Boston Globe: “Jason’s compositional voice is as distinctive as his virtuoso playing.” \nSought after as a sideman\, Anick has shared the stage from such diverse genres as well-known artists as Stevie Wonder\, Guster\, and the Jim Kweksin Jug Band. Fellow artist Regina Carter described him as “Equally gifted as a musician and composer.” And veteran Christian Howes lauds him with high praise “Jason is easily one of the best jazz violinists and mandolinists of his generation.” \nHe has performed around the world\, from China to Japan\, and across Europe\, and in such renowned venues as the Montreal Jazz Festival\, as well as such well-known regional jazz clubs as Scullers\, Blue Note and the Regatta Bar.  His work has been featured on NPR and The Tonight Show. \nPianist Matt DeChamplain grew up in Wethersfield\, Connecticut. During high school Matt attended the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts studying under Jimmy Greene and Dave Santoro. He obtained his bachelors degree from the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz at the Hartt School in 2010 and graduated with his masters from the University of Toledo in Ohio in 2012. \nAlso sought after by such musical artists from diverse musical genres\, Matt has performed with such well known artists as the Dave Brubeck Quartet\, Jose Feliciano and has opened for the Wynton Marsalis Quintet. In his well-received solo album\, Stride Bop\, Matt sought to uniquely fuse the Harlem Slide tradition with bebop and hard bob\, while integrating swing and blues elements. His work has earned him praise from colleagues and jazz publications\, and may be best summed up by praise from the Hartford Jazz Society : “Matt DeChamplain plays with amazing dexterity and superb taste while conveying the history of jazz piano from ragtime and slide to modern.” \nMatt has performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival\, Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz\, New York’s JVC Jazz Festival\, the Kennedy Center\, Jazz at Lincoln Center and renowned regional jazz clubs such as the Regatta Bar\, Smalls and Yoshi’s. In 2008\, Matt was selected for the Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Program where he engaged in a two-week intensive composition and performance workshop under the instruction of jazz luminaries Dr. Billy Taylor\, Nathan Davis and Curtis Fuller culminating in three performances filmed live from the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. That same year he was part of a group lead by bassist Nat Reeves that toured New Ross\, Ireland. In 2010\, Matt participated as a semifinalist in the Martial Solal Jazz Piano Competition in Paris\, France.

They have been featured dancers accompanying such renowned Celtic performers as Solas\, Cherish the Ladies\, Trinity Dance Company\, Liz Carroll\, Billy McComiskey and Mick Moloney\, and Eileen Ivers. \nIrish stepdance is a style of performance dance with its roots in traditional Irish dance. It is generally characterized by a stiff upper body and fast and precise movements of the feet. It can be performed solo or in groups. Aside from public dance performances\, there are also stepdance competitions all over the world. \nFrom the late 1800s\, when the Gaelic League began to organize cultural festivals\, Irish step dance developed a competitive element. Throughout the 20th century\, structures for competition developed and spread across the globe..These competitions are often called Feiseanna (singular Feis). In Irish dance culture\, a Feis is a traditional Gaelic arts and culture festival. \nCostumes are considered important for stage presence in competition  and performance. In many cases\, costumes are sold at high prices and can even be custom made. Each costume is different\, with varying colors and patterns\, designed to attract the judge’s eye in competitions and the audience’s eye in performance.

Talented local students have the opportunity to perform before a live audience\, sharing the Festival with renowned pianists of national and international repute (Frederick Moyer and Liana Paniyeva). \nThe Festival\, and especially this recital\, honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham\, the founder and first Chair of Ogunquit Performing Arts. A pianist herself\, “Betty” studied\, performed and taught piano for most of her life. \nBetty Burnham had long dreamed that Ogunquit could support such a program as Ogunquit Performing Arts to add to its attractiveness as a welcoming place for artists\, sculptors and summer theatre. Her dream was realized in November 1978\, when the Committee for the Performing Arts was formed and began its work\, with Betty elected as chairperson. \nShe saw to it that Ogunquit Performing Arts acquired its spectacular Steinway Concert Model C Grand Piano\, which still remains OPA’s greatest treasure. \nNow 45 years later\, we hope and believe Betty would be happy with the ongoing work of OPA\, and would certainly be proud of the students showcased in this concert.\n \n \n \n \n \n Barn Gallery is owned and administered by the Ogunquit Arts Collaborative\, a volunteer-run 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit corporation. In collaboration with the Ogunquit Art Association\, these two organizations provide the opportunity for professional artists to exhibit their work to the public in a beautiful setting. \nOPA has performed multiple times at the Barn Gallery over the years\, and is proud and grateful to be offering this concert series in this lovely place of visual beauty and wonderful acoustics. Having lost the Dunaway Auditorium to the temporary relocation of the Police Department\, OPA is returning to Barn Gallery\, its home away from home. \nVisit Barn Gallery at barngallery.org URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/16th-annual-elizabeth-dunaway-burnham-piano-festival-student-piano-recital/ LOCATION:The Barn Gallery\, 3 Hartwig Lane (off Bourne Lane at Shore Road)\, Ogunquit\, Maine\, 03907 CATEGORIES:Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival,Live Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Elizabeth-Dunaway-Burnham.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231013T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231013T193000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133647 CREATED:20230913T161401Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240219T150755Z UID:10000196-1697225400-1697225400@ogunquitperformingarts.org SUMMARY:16th Annual Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival - Liana Paniyeva Piano Concert DESCRIPTION:Making her Ogunquit debut\, Ms. Paniyeva began winning prizes as a young prodigy in Ukraine in 2002.

They have shared the stage with such greats as Wynton Marsalis\, Rikki Lee Jones\, Stanley Jordan\, Joe Sample\, and David Bromberg. \nTheir sound appeals to a wide range of audiences\, from concert halls to clubs\, art centers to festivals. Their between-set banter and personal dynamics add entertainment value\, and audiences often find themselves dancing in the aisles! \nMembers include:Brett Feldman- lead guitar\, composer\, co-arranger and a founderEli Bishop- All strings\, co-arrangerJeremy Frantz- lead vocals\, rhythm guitarJeff Feldman- bassJohn Chapman- percussion \nEli Bishop\, a Nashville violin prodigy who began playing at age 3\, has played with Wynton Marsalis\, Bill Evans of the Miles Davis Group\, Vince Gill\, and the Wooten Brothers. And was awarded a Guinness Record for the world’s fastest clapping! \nBrett Feldman is a self-taught musician and composer. His original songs are challenging to execute even by the most seasoned gypsy jazz artists and are crafted as emotional renderings of important ideas. His most notable new piece\, also the title track of their recent CD- Song for Vrba:44070- tells the story of the heroism of Rudolf Vrba\, who escaped Auschwitz in WW II\, and whose reporting of the atrocities led to an end of Hungarian deportation of Jews to Germany  and is credited with saving the lives of over 200\,000. \nJeremy Frantz is a protégé of legendary guitarist Joe Negri. He is best known for his soulful singing of classic standards. More than once\, he has brought crowds to near silence through the warmth and openness of his vocals. \nJeff Feldman and John Chapman keep crowds moving with beats and complex rhythms with roots in Latin music and Klezmer\, well integrated into original compositions and support the richness of music that almost make them sound like they could be plugged in rather than acoustic. \nLISTEN TO THE BAND:   Listen to Over Here and #44070 by Occidental Gypsy | Occidental Gypsy (occidentalgypsyband.com) URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/capriccio-music-festival-occidental-gypsy/ LOCATION:S.

The prop sharks frequently malfunctioned owing to a series of problems including bad weather\, pneumatic hoses taking on salt water\, frames fracturing due to water resistance\, and corroding skin. Gottlieb was nearly decapitated by the boat’s propellers\, and Dreyfuss was almost imprisoned in the steel cage. The actors were frequently seasick. Spielberg later calculated that during the 12-hour daily work schedule\, on average only four hours were actually spent filming. \nThe delays proved beneficial in some regards. The script was refined during production\, and the unreliable mechanical sharks forced Spielberg to shoot many scenes so that the shark was only hinted at. This forced restraint is widely thought to have added to the film’s suspense. As Spielberg put it years later\, “The film went from a Japanese Saturday matinee horror flick to more of a Hitchcock\, the less-you-see-the-more-you-get thriller.” URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-jaws/ LOCATION:S.

This American Romantic Musical also features supporting actors/dancers Jeff Richards\, Matt Mattox\, Jacques D’Amboise\, Virginia Gibson and Tommy Rall. \nSet in 1850\, Adam Pontipee (Keel)\, living a life of self-sufficiency in the backwoods of an Oregon Territory\, heads into town to look for a bride. He meets Milly (Powell)\, the cook in the local boarding house where he stays\, and proposes to her based on the quality of her cooking and diligence in completing her chores. She falls in love with him at first sight\, and eagerly accepts his proposal of marriage. Following their marriage\, they arrive at Adam’s cabin where she is surprised to discover his six ill-mannered\, uncouth younger brothers all living with him. Believing that she would only be caring for him\, she reproaches Adam for deceiving her\, only wanting a servant\, not a wife\, and banishes him from her bed. The unmarried brothers decide that they too should find wives. Milly knows that the well-meaning but ignorant brothers would never find wives if they did not learn proper manners\, cleanliness\, and how to behave around women.  Loving Adam\, she embarks on an effort to teach them so that they might be able to woo and win wives of their own.  Unfortunately\,  polite courtship efforts result in a barn-raising brawl\, and the brothers are expelled from the town. Determined to keep his family together\, Adam hatches a plan for the brothers to follow the example of the Sabine women by carrying off their future brides before winter sets in.  More complications ensue\, but eventually\, due to the ingenuity of the women\, a happy ending is achieved. \nAdapted from the short story\, “The Sobbin’ Women” by Stephen Vincent Benet\, which was based on the Ancient Roman legend of the Rape of the Sabine Women\, the film is an original musical made expressly for the big screen. The screenplay was written by Albert Hackett\, Frances Goodrich\, and Dorothy Kingsley. Directed by Stanley Donen\, music and lyrics by Gene de Paul and Johnny Mercer with brilliant choreography by Michael Kidd\, the barn raising scene is known as one of the most rousing dance numbers ever put on screen. The film received an Oscar for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture and was nominated for four others\, including Best Picture and Best Cinematography.

This American Western musical was the end of the popularity with the movie-going public of musicals adapted or written for the big screen. \nSet in a mining camp in California during the Gold Rush era\, the wild\, wild west comes alive. Upon the discovery of gold while digging a grave\, prospector Ben Rumson (Marvin) stakes a claim to the burial site\, and adopts the surviving\, injured brother as his “Pardner”(Eastwood) while he recuperates from his injuries in the accident which killed his brother. A naïve romantic\, Pardner is not caught up by gold fever and only wants to earn enough money to buy some land. The prospector promises to share the spoils of his prospecting in return for Pardner’s taking care of him and keeping him safe during his times of melancholy and drunkenness. As more prospectors arrive\, a tent city\, known as No Name City springs up. Polygamy\, wife selling\, polyandry\, brothels with “French tarts\,” gambling\, saloon fights\, and property destruction of an entire town follow.  As might be predicted\, nothing good results when Pardner agrees to share a household to watch over Elizabeth (Seberg) when Ben heads up the mission to bring “6 French tarts” to No Name City to combat the loneliness and boost the gold mining efforts of the male prospectors.  When Elizabeth and Pardner fall in love\, Elizabeth convinces Ben and Pardner that their polyandrous arrangement should be fine: if a Mormon can have 2 wives\, why shouldn’t she have two husbands? All is well until the arrival of “civilized” Easterners whose parson sets about to get the community to give up its evil ways. \nAdapted by Paddy Chayefsky from the 1951 Broadway musical of the same name\, the movie was produced by Alan Jay Lerner and directed by Joshua Logan. The movie received one Oscar nomination for Best Score (Lerner and Loewe). URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-paint-your-wagon/ LOCATION:S.
