Welcome to the Lied Center for Performing Arts - Nebraska’s premiere place for the Arts! It’s a privilege to be a part in hosting this group of distinguished and talented musicians and scholars from around the globe. The Lied Center is proud to be presenting Friday evening’s performance of Lincoln’s Symphony Orchestra with Maestro Edward Polochick, featuring three of the most beloved works from the piano repertoire, performed by your own ALS members and Arnaldo Cohen. This unique program will delight our local patrons, while it demonstrates the supremacy of the piano as the instrument of choice by the great masters, Schumann, Chopin and Liszt. Of course it’s useless to deny my bias for the piano, but I know you’ll forgive me. Enjoy your stay in Lincoln! Ann Chang, BM, MM, DM, Indiana University Bloomington-School of Music Artistic Director, Lied Center for Performing Arts Artist-in-Residence — piano, fortepiano, UNL School of Music
Dear Esteemed Colleagues: It is my great joy and privilege to welcome you back to the City Campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for what I know will be a happy time of great music making, great music scholarship, and great music fellowship. I hope you once again will find our facilities well suited for your needs and that your week together will meet and exceed your best expectations. We are honored to have you here. The UNL School of Music is enjoying an amazing time of progress and momentum right now. Our student production of Jake Haggie’s haunting opera, Dead Man Walking, received the First Place Award in its collegiateproduction category from the National Opera Association in January 2009. Our Chiara String Quartet and Piano Professor Dr. Paul Barnes are collaborating now on a world-premiere performance in New York City of a commissioned work from English composer Ivan Moody. Our jazz ensemble CDs, Minimal Effort and Beyond the Plains, have received terrific reviews in Jazz Times and All About Jazz. Seven of our faculty and one of our graduate students have been invited to present at the World Conference of the International Society for Music Education in Beijing, China this summer. Our Faculty Brass Quintet will be traveling to the Czech Republic in May to perform the European premiere performance of a work for brass quintet and wind symphony, which they commissioned Czech composer Juraj Filas to write for them. The world premiere took place with our Wind Ensemble and our Faculty Brass Quintet here on campus last December with Maestro Filas here in attendance. As I said, these are amazing times here at UNL. I hope your stay with us is productive, refreshing, inspiring, and memorable. I wish for you every success throughout the days of your conference here. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to be helpful. Sincere best wishes, John W. Richmond, Ph.D. Professor & Director of the UNL School of Music
