HURDY-GURDYIST CURTIS BERAK & BRUCE TETER AT LACO NOV 3RD
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s (LACO) Baroque Conversations spotlights the harpsichord, hurdy-gurdy and musette in an evening led by LACO Principal Keyboard Patricia Mabee and featuring Curtis Berak, one of the world’s leading hurdy-gurdyists, and musette player Bruce Teter on Thursday, November 3, 2016, 7 pm, at Zipper Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. The program includes Rameau’s 5th Concert, from Pièces de clavecin en concerts; Bach’s French Suite No. 5 in G major; and Telemann’s Suite No. 6 in E minor, from Nouveaux quatours en six suites. The three final works on the program, Lully’s “Turkish March” from Le bourgeois gentilhomme; a selection of Vaudevilles by Chédeville and Corrette’s Concerto No. 7 in C minor, “La Servante au Bon Tabac” from Concertos Comiques, showcase the hurdy gurdy and the musette.
Mabee, who curated the program and introduces the works from the stage, is celebrating her 40th anniversary with the Orchestra. Berak, “a mad musical scientist” (LA Downtown News) who restores and collects antique hurdy-gurdys and has amassed the largest collection in America, has been featured on the film soundtracks for Polar Express, The Three Musketeers, The Craft, The Tie That Binds and Newsies, among others. Teter, who in addition to his busy performance schedule is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology at UCLA, where he studies Alzheimer’s disease, was introduced to the musette de cour bagpipe by Berak and taught himself to play using the Hotteterre treatise of 1737. Joining Mabee, Berak and Teter for the evening of Baroque chamber music are LACO Concertmaster Margaret Batjer, Associate Principal Cello Armen Ksajikian and flute Sandy Hughes. The concert concludes with an audience Q&A with Mabee and the musicians. A complimentary wine reception for all ticket holders begins at 6:30 pm.
The hurdy-gurdy, an intriguing stringed instrument also known as vielle à roue (wheel fiddle) that today is rarely used in concert halls, was common throughout Europe from the 12th to 19th centuries and brought back to public awareness during the 1960s due in part to pop singer Donovan’s hit Hurdy Gurdy Man. The instrument, which looks like a hybrid of a lute or guitar and a keyboard, has a crank-turned rosined wheel that rolls against strings to produce a sound similar to that of a violin bow rubbing against a string. The musette, resembling a bagpipe, is played by pumping the instrument’s bellows to blow air through both a chanter and a drone to produce sound. These folk instruments entered aristocratic musical circles as composers began to incorporate folk music into court life.
Teter, largely self-taught, has played the recorder for over 30 years and the bagpipe for 25 years. In addition to playing the musette de cour bagpipe, he plays such other instruments as the rauschpfeife, pennywhistle and crumhorn. He co-directs the Wessex Consort, Distorted Pearl and The Piccadillys; plays in the Los Angeles Recorder Orchestra as soprano principal; sings with the Sacred Harp and Georgian choirs; and is a harmonic overtone singer.
Mabee has been principal keyboard with Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra since 1976, and has been featured on more than 20 works from the concerto repertoire under the batons of Sir Neville Marriner, Christopher Hogwood, Helmuth Rilling, Nicholas McGegan and Iona Brown. She performs with the Bach’s Circle, which focuses on the music of JS Bach, his sons and contemporaries. Mabee is the music director of Ritornello, a period instrument ensemble that presents educational programs for schools, museums and community groups. She has also been featured on piano for world premieres by John Adams, Bruce Broughton, Donald Crockett and Libby Larsen.
The enlightening five-concert Baroque Conversations series provides insight into the genesis of orchestral repertoire from early Baroque schools through the pre-classical period. The third Baroque Conversations program, on February 9, 2017 features Rachel Barton Pine on violin and viola d’amore leading the Orchestra in works by Vivaldi, Pisendel and Locatelli. Baroque Conversations is generously sponsored by Carol & Warner Henry, a Friend of LACO and the Ronus Foundation.
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO), proclaimed “America’s finest chamber orchestra” by Public Radio International, has established itself among the world’s top musical ensembles. Since 1997, LACO has performed under the baton of acclaimed conductor and pianist Jeffrey Kahane, hailed by critics as “visionary” and a conductor with “effortless musicality and extraordinary communicative gifts.” Under Kahane’s leadership, the Orchestra maintains its status as a preeminent interpreter of historical masterworks and a champion of contemporary composers.
Tickets, starting at $58, are available online at laco.org, or by calling LACO at 213 622 7001. Single tickets can also be purchased at the venue box office on the night of the concert, if tickets remain. Discounted tickets are available by phone for groups of 12 or more. College students may purchase student rush tickets ($12), based on availability, at the box office an hour before the concert.

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 2:23 pmMany thanks for your post. I’d like to say that the cost of car insurance differs a lot from one plan to another, mainly because there are so many different issues which bring about the overall cost. By way of example, the model and make of the car will have a huge bearing on the price. A reliable older family car or truck will have a more economical premium compared to a flashy perrfomance car.
You make things so clear. Thanks for taking the time!
Så mange fine påskebilder. Ser ut som dere har hatt en strålende og begivenhetsfull påske på tross av sykdom.Ha en flott ny uke!Klem fra Tonje Merethe

Villaraigosa’s office.”OF COURSE, she missed the memo. She was probably too busy on her cell or gossiping with her council buddies just like they do during regular council sessions…especially during public comment.
ååhh.. nÃ¥ fikk jeg lyst til Ã¥ dtra til Fredrikstad! 😉 fine stjerner og blir sikkert superfint med digert juletre ! …den frokosten hørtess ogsÃ¥ veldig god ut! Her har vi drevet med nattevÃ¥k og spiser og sover pÃ¥ skift – ikke like koselig! 😛
Det var ju bland det konstigaste jag läst… Jag fattar ingenting. Vad har SD med Tänk Om-kampanjen att göra?Att se alkoholens roll i vÃ¥ld innebär inte att man frÃ¥ntar den som slÃ¥r ansvaret, men det är lik förbannat sÃ¥ att alkoholen innebär mer vÃ¥ld och annat otrevligt. Med mindre alkohol blir det mindre vÃ¥ld. Med säkrare bilar blir det färre (lindrigare) olyckor, även om olyckorna inte är bilens fel.
I’d venture that this article has saved me more time than any other.
In Iraq, just after toppling the Sadam Regimne, we were issued two 10 round clips when we were sent out on patrols. And we were ordered (as we were told from the Perntagon) that if anyone is seen loading the clip into their weapon and chambering a round prior to bein fired upon, we will be court marshalled. They would then lead us to this dump called a village full of people who despised us. As we wandered through this village practicaly unarmed I often wondered if my government actually wanted me to make it home.
Hi, this coment has nothing to do with this article I’m afraid but I couldn’t find any other way to try and contact you. Anyhow..I was looking at your page:and thought the code might be useful to me. Unfortunately it produced bundles of parse errors which I tracked down to being because of the html codes you’ve used to display both single and double quotation marks. Once they were all replaced with simple ” or “” everything worked fine – but there were quite a lot of replacements required! If you’d like a fixed up version of the code I’d be happy to send it to you.
I have to agree with quepasa and conyo. HD videos need a high quality option for those users who don't have a fast enough processor. And BenJeremy… that's probably a bug. At least I hope it is.
After much thinking I think your title “new jersey real estate report » too radical?…” font size does not fit well on my browser, (I just wanna let you know) but possibly it’s my custome configured firefox plugin that is causing a problem other than this is a hot blog.
Way to go on this essay, helped a ton.
Il y a 2 ans, nous avons acheté un appartement à crédit. Depuis, les taux de prêt hypothecaire ont largement diminué. Alors nous avons décidé de contacter une banque spécialisée en rachat d’emprunt immobilier qui nous a racheté notre emprunt immobilier. Maintenant, nous avons encore la même maison tout en ayant des mensualités plus raisonnables .
At last! Something clear I can understand. Thanks!
Sabrina comentou em 6 de dezembro de 2009 às 19:00. Julia, fuçando pela net me deparei com o site The body needs que vende samples de pigmentos da MAC, vc conhece? É confiavel? Tenho medo de ser coisa meio pirata – que abomino! Que sites voces indicam para comprar maquiagem internacional, achei a Sacks muito cara considerando que nela uma base MAC custa R$ 120.00 e o no site da MAC U$25.00. Beijos
Thinking like that shows an expert’s touch
Jess, I’m so happy for you that things are moving along towards Saprrow coming home – I’m sure they’re moving far too slowly for you all, but I’m blessed that we’re all able to follow your journey
Eh, Luca, ti seguo relativamente troppo da recente e non avevo visto i post in questione!Comunque vestito da Batman sei spettacolare! Non è che magari lo fai davvero (il vendicatore mascherato)?
Tip: If you boil the potatoes whole leaving the skins on the potatoes retain all of their goodness rather than having it mainly lost to the water, but the skins also peel off by hand incredibly easily – much less hassle. Also, try using an electric hand whisk or a ricer to mash your potatoes, they both work very very well.
Dejaros de comeros el tarro chavales, dentro de poco los japos o los chinis sacaran la manera mas compleja de piratearla,(si es que no l ahan sacado ya) como siempre, y nosotros la copiaremos, como siempre xD. Simplemente paciencia y a aprovexarse de los cerebritos asiaticos
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?
Don't worry, you won't be the only one with repetitious pumpkin recipes, I will have plenty of my own and may borrow some of yours, too! This bread looks good… although I am still hesitant to make bread without the help of a bread maker, ha!
That insight’s perfect for what I need. Thanks!
This article achieved exactly what I wanted it to achieve.
