Dedication of Hartt's New Harpsichord

On Sunday, September 20, 2015, Hartt will present a special concert to unveil and dedicate the new harpsichord that it commissioned.  The harpsichord was custom built by Norfolk, Conn., resident Carl Dudash.

To mark the acquisition, Hartt's internationally recognized faculty will present a free concert of music written in the heyday of the harpsichord.
A Musical Offering: An Inaugural Concert of the Dudash Harpsichord will take place at 5 p.m. in Berkman Recital Hall.

 
A pre-concert lecture by Professor of Music History Kenneth Nott on the importance to the harpsichord of preserving and studying music of the Baroque period will begin at 4:30 p.m.

“A large body of music — primarily composed before 1760 — requires the harpsichord in either a solo or chamber capacity,” said Nott. “This acoustic harpsichord will provide an essential source of rhythm and harmonic support to our music students, who will benefit immensely from its use.”

The Hartt School and The Stamford Symphony Form Partnership

The Stamford Symphony and The Hartt School recently announced the creation of a partnership. This partnership will focus on Training and Mentorship of Hartt music student fellows.

“We are excited to introduce a program of this caliber to the students at HARTT School of Music. This contact with professional musicians is preparation for when they graduate and will be developing their orchestra career.” – Barbara Soroca, CEO and President, Stamford Symphony

Our first annual Mentorship Program afforded Chaeyong Son, violinist and Jinyoung Son, cellist to perform in the Stamford Symphony for the March 1st and 2nd concerts. The two student fellows were chosen by blind audition and then, were prepared for the concerts by the HARTT School faculty.

In addition to the performance experience, fellows benefited from a mentorship experience where Symphony principal musicians and their colleagues met with the students to share their perspectives on creating a career in an orchestra. They also offered musical coaching. To round out the experience, the fellows spent two nights in New York City where they rehearsed with the orchestra, attended a live musical performance, and spent more time with the members of the orchestra as well as some individual time with the Music Director, Eckart Preu and CEO, Barbara Soroca. This experience was very well received and met the goal of the Partnership.

Everyone involved had praise for this partnership and hopes that it can be repeated and expanded and serve as model of other project in which The Hartt School collaborates with organizations outside the University.
