SUMMARY:Baroque Sounds of the Season
DESCRIPTION:As tuneful sleigh bells begin to ring faintly in the distance\, a joyful anticipation fills the air\, and the first Sunday of Advent arrives once more. On December 2 at 2 p.m.\, “Baroque Sounds of the Season” will touch that essence wherein the soul’s light dwells when Camerata Milwaukee performs in St. Joseph Hall. \nThe septet of strings\, harpsichord\, and voice will bring breathtaking music of the 17th century to the south side campus of the School Sisters of St. Francis\, 1501 S. Layton Blvd.\, Milwaukee (or Greenfield Ave. at S. 27th St.). \nListeners will be exhilarated by the tiered dynamics and buoyancy of Baroque interpretation\, in which the bass line’s pulse supports and also drives the other parts. Yet\, the quality of expression remains controlled\, regardless of whatever story the composer might be intimating. It is within this genre that Camerata Milwaukee primarily invests careful study and practice\, and its members do so with an abiding love for both renowned and lesser-known composers and works. \nAt Camerata Milwaukee’s December 2 offering\, the works of Georg Philipp Telemann and Arcangelo Corelli are sure to command an audience\, but composers like Isabella Leonarda and Maria Peruchona—women religious of the Ursuline order—will also be given their due. On the program are sinfonias\, cantatas\, and concerti grossi by all Italian composers\, except for the Swiss Johann Melchior Gletle and\, of course\, the German Telemann. \nThere is an international breadth to the experiences of Camerata Milwaukee as well. Violinists Tony Perez and Paul Sekulski\, violist JoAnn Haasler\, cellist Kristian Ring\, cellist Alicia Storin\, harpsichordist Brendan Fox\, and soprano Ruth Brown are a youthful ensemble who\, together\, have completed decades of study\, pedagogy\, and performance in the Midwest\, New York\, the Carolinas\, Venezuela\, and Germany. Allow the talents of these fine artists to set a tone of grace and inspiration for an experience as resounding as words in an Advent prayer. \nThe $15 tickets are available now. Write checks to: School Sisters of St. Francis Outreach Events\, c/o Donna O’Loughlin; St. Joseph Center; 1501 S. Layton Blvd.\, Milwaukee\, WI 53215. Contact: 414-385-5272 or doloughlin@sssf.org. Convenient free parking is available in the St. Joseph Center lot at 29th St. and Orchard St.

SUMMARY:George Winston 2018
DESCRIPTION:George Winston grew up mainly in Montana\, and also spent his later formative years in Mississippi and Florida. During this time\, his favorite music was instrumental rock and instrumental R&B\, including Floyd Cramer\, the Ventures\, Booker T & The MG’s\, Jimmy Smith\, and many more. \nInspired by R&B\, jazz\, Blues and rock (especially the Doors)\, George began playing organ in 1967. In 1971 he switched to the acoustic piano after hearing recording from the 1920s and the 1930s by the legendary stride pianists Thomas “Fats” Waller and the late Teddy Wilson. In addition to working on stride piano\, he also at this time came up with his own style of melodic instrumental music on solo piano\, called folk piano. In 1972\, he recorded his first album\, BALLADS AND BLUES 1972\, for the late guitarist John Fahey’s Takoma label \nGeorge is presently concentrating mainly on live performances\, and most of the time he is touring playing solo piano concerts (the Summer Show or the Winter Show)\, solo guitar concerts\, solo harmonica concerts\, and solo piano dances (with R&B and slow dance songs). \nHe is currently most inspired by the great New Orleans R&B pianists Henry Butler\, James Booker\, Professor Longhair\, Dr. John\, and Jon Cleary; and he is also working on interpreting pieces on solo piano by his favorite composers\, including Vince Guaraldi\, Professor Longhair\, and the Doors\, as well as Dr. John\, Allen Toussaint\, Ralph Towner\, Sam Cooke\, Randy Newman\, Al Kooper\, Jimmy Wisner\, Arthur Lee\, Frank Zappa\, Rahsaan Roland Kirk\, Wes Montgomery\, John Coltrane\, Cal Tjader\, John Hartford\, Oliver Schroer\, Taj Mahal\, Philip Aaberg\, Henry Butler\, James Booker\, Jon Cleary\, and others\, to play at concerts\, and at his solo piano dances.
