In the 1940s it was unheard of for women to be members of a professional orchestra, let alone play "masculine" instruments like the bass or trombone. Yet despite these formidable challenges, the Montreal Women's Symphony Orchestra (MWSO) became the only all-women orchestra in Canadian history. Formed in 1940, the MWSO became the first orchestra to represent Canada in New York City's Carnegie Hall and one of its members also became the first Canadian black woman to play in a symphony in Carnegie Hall. While the MWSO has paved the way for contemporary female musicians, the stories of these women are largely missing from historical records. From Kitchen to Carnegie Hall illuminates these revolutionary stories, including the life of the incredible Ethel Stark, the co-founder and conductor of the MWSO. Ethel's work opened doors of equal opportunity for marginalized groups and played an important role in breaking gender stereotypes in the Canadian music world.
A book about the first women's symphony orchestra that because the only all-women orchestra in Canada. Formed in 1940, the MWSO became the first orchestra to represent Canada in New York City's Carnegie Hall and one of its members also became the first Canadian black woman to play in a symphony in Carnegie Hall.
In this book the author traces the history of America's oldest symphonic organization down to the beginning of Pierre Boulez's conductorship. Against the background of changing cultural patterns of American life over a century and a quarter, the author examines interactions between the New York Philharmonic and the society in which it functioned. There are colorful personality portraits, often tied to surprising reappraisals of such glamorous Philharmonic stars as Arturo Toscanini (who enjoined other conductors to play every note "as written," but who felt free - as the author documents - to make his own changes to the scores of the masters), Gustav Mahler, Dimitri Mitropoulos, Leopold Stokowski, Bruno Walter, and the spectacular Leonard Bernstein. The author gives the reader insight into an organization that has helped shape America's musical taste - an organization that has brought its performances to the largest audiences in the annals of symphonic music, yet has often suffered from "the vast, and largely unjustified, inferiority complex that has oppressed American music throughout its history."
In Benny Goodman's famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert, Catherine Tackley provides the first in depth, scholarly study of this seminal concert and recording. Through discussions of the cultural context, the performance itself, and its reception and response, Tackley shows why Goodman's 1938 concert remains one of the most significant events in American music history.
"The 1992-93 season marks the 150th anniversary of the oldest symphony orchestra in the United States, and Kitchen Classics from the Philharmonic celebrates this special event with a collection of mouthwatering, innovative recipes, plus amusing, enlightening, loving, and laughable anecdotes contributed by the composers, conductors, artists, executives, and friends who have been associated with the New York Philharmonic in the course of its illustrious history." "From Alice Tully to Isaac Stern, more than 150 friends and family of the Philharmonic have contributed their favorite recipes and reminiscences to this delectable anniversary tribute. And June LeBell (whose relationship with the orchestra dates back to her own debut - with Leonard Bernstein conducting the Philharmonic and the chorus from the High School of Music and Art) supplies not only a trio of delicious picnic recipes but also the witty and original "program note" introducing each of the contributors, and her own imaginative, sometimes rambunctious choice of music to accompany each dish." "Ms. LeBell's long-lasting and intimate relationships with virtually everyone and everything to do with the Philharmonic, as well as her love of good food and her encyclopedic knowledge of recorded music, make this a very special volume, larded with love and spiced with saucy sophistication. Al Hirschfeld's signature illustrations provide the deliciously frothy icing on the cake."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
