Catch a free bus ride to the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic in Cleveland!

Call 412-268-2383 for details.

The Carnegie Mellon University Philharmonic, under the direction of Juan Pablo Izquierdo, will perform the works of 20th century master Paul Hindemith at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, May 3 in Severance Hall in Cleveland.

The Philharmonic's program will include Hindemith's "Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber," "Kammermusiken Number 1," "Five Dances From der Daemon" and "Symphony Mathis der Maler." Paul Johnston, a faculty member in Carnegie Mellon's School of Music, will host a pre-concert talk at
7 p.m.

"The orchestral music of Paul Hindemith is a rich legacy of early 20th century creativity and innovation," said Marilyn Taft Thomas, interim head of the School of Music. "Yet his symphonic works are seldom included in mainstream concert programming. This unique all-Hindemith concert, along with a pre-concert talk by Paul Johnston, provides a backdrop for the considerable performance abilities of the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic and its renowned music director and conductor, Juan Pablo Izquierdo," Thomas said.

Izquierdo has conducted Chile's National and Philharmonic Orchestra and won first prize in the Dimitri Mitropoulos International Competition for Conductors in 1966. That same year, he was named assistant conductor to Leonard Bernstein of the New York Philharmonic. His international appearances include conducting the Bavarian Radio and BBC orchestras, as well as other radio orchestras in Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Madrid, Glasgow, Paris and Brussels. He has conducted ensembles around the world, including the Vienna Symphony, the Holland Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, the Dresden Philharmonic, the Jerusalem Symphony and the Israel Chamber Orchestra.

"Featuring an all-Hindemith program, the philharmonic will cover a retrospective of different periods of the work of this great master,"
Izquierdo said.

Society for Architectural Historians Conference Thursday, April 12, 2007

www.arc.cmu.edu/calendar/PittsburghBrochure.pdf

Pittsburgh, a city once known for its smoke stacks and steel mills, has transformed itself into "America's Greenest City," with such remarkable new structures as Rafael Vinoly's David L. Lawrence Convention Center (2003) and the award-winning Children's Museum of Pittsburgh (2004) by Konig Eizenberg Architects. The city's architectural community will welcome SAH meeting participants with a variety of tours and social events that will help meeting delegates explore both the city's rich architectural heritage and that of the region. We will have the opportunity to learn about an incredibly rich mix of the region's architecture, from masterworks such as H. H. Richardson's Alleghany County Courthouse and Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, to the buildings of dozens of unsung Pennsylvania architects.
To help with this effort, every meeting participant will receive a copy of the newest volume in the Buildings of the United States series, Buildings of Pittsburgh, authored by Franklin Toker with selected contributions by Lu Donnelly.
