Leonardo Baladas Jazz-Inflected Caprichos No. 4 To Be Premiered by Pittsburgh Symphony Chamber Orchestra
Composer Leonardo Balada, who in 1970 joined the School of Music faculty at Carnegie Mellon University, continues a busy year as the Pittsburgh Symphony Chamber Orchestra under Andrs Crdenes premieres Caprichos No.4 Quasi Jazz, for bass and chamber orchestra. The concert, featuring Pittsburgh Symphony Principal Bassist Jeffrey Turner in Caprichos, is Thursday, March 27 at 8 p.m. at Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland.
The four-movement Caprichos No. 4 is a modernistic composition in which traditional jazz gestures are paired with avant-garde textures, harmonies and devices. Caprichos No. 4 is a continuation of Baladas successful collaboration with the Pittsburgh Symphony Chamber Orchestra; Caprichos No. 3 for violin and chamber orchestra was premiered by Crdenes and the orchestra in 2005.
Also, on March 25, Naxos releases an eighth disc of Baladas music, on which Baladas 2001 cantata Dionisio In Memoriam and the 1969 symphonic tragedy Maria Sabina are performed by Jos Ramn Encinar and the Orchestra and Chorus of the Comunidad de Madrid. Dionisio is based on writings from the Spanish poet and politician Dionisio Ridruejo. In Maria Sabina, the tale of the Mexican Indian priestess, Balada collaborated with Nobel Literature Laureate Camilo Jose Cela.

Regina Gouger Miller Gallery___________________________
The 2008 Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition, A Moratorium on Make-Believe opened March 21 and runs through April 20 at the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University. School of Art Head John Carson says the six graduate students featured in the exhibition are restless and are always looking for new ideas and new ways of looking at the world.
The six students featured in the exhibition are Chris Beauregard, Michelle Fried, Ben Kinsley, Eileen Maxson, John Pea and Ally Reeves.
Chris Beauregard offers unhurried glimpses of a parallel world where everything is slightly and worryingly off kilter. These worlds are fantastic, hinting at a happier place than what we call reality. He contributes Lazy Barricade, a sculpture of a police do not cross line that would be quite easy to cross.
For the exhibition, Michelle Fried starred in a self-produced video, Stomach Trouble. The video follows Michelles comical adventure to cure herself, at the same time dealing with the chatter of her talking stomach and the charlatan Dr. Wolmuth, a stomach detachment and rerouting specialist.

Ben Kinsley stages mischievous theatrical performances that border on anarchy in unexpected places. One such project occurred outside the Mattress Factory, where medieval knights fought for three hours while a metal band played. Visit www.bkinsley.com
Eileen Maxson, whose videos have been shown in Los Angeles, Dallas and New York, is simultaneously enthralled and repulsed by television. In her videos, she pokes fun at the medias version of reality through made-up characters and scenes. See some of Maxsons videos at www.eileenmaxson.com
John Pea will display graphite on paper drawings. Pea explores the role of art in the social landscape and tries to find the poetry and wonder in the everyday and the commonplace. Visit www.johnpena.net
Ally Reeves takes her art into the community and tries to brighten the day of all she encounters. In the mobile museum project, Reeves biked around Pittsburgh, with a small cabinet of strange and exotic objects in tow. Visit www.allyreeves.com
The Regina Gouger Miller Gallery is located on the Carnegie Mellon campus. Hours of operation are 11:30 a.m.5 p.m. TuesdaySunday. Visitor parking is available in the East Campus Parking Garage, located on Forbes Avenue just east of the Morewood Avenue intersection.
