<strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong><br />
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts.

Find yourself underneath a suspended storm of metal and fabric clouds, illuminated with hundreds of LEDs. In the center stands a bowl full of clear water, reacting gently to the flow of the river. The lights within the installation mimic the motion of Pittsburgh's three rivers in realtime, pulling from tidal data and creating an enchanting sense of union to the watercycle, but trace your fingers inside the bowl of water and watch as you start to stir up a storm. The LEDs react to the flow of water created by your movement.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong>The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts. <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.trustarts.org/&source=gmail&ust=1494052093073000&usg=AFQjCNG55PbiAuJeMxBhv6jFzxOrO-kV1Q" href="http://www.trustarts.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.TrustArts.org</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">PITTSBURGH – WQED’s Kickstarter crowd funding campaign to fund Producer Rick Sebak’s next series of six shows has exceeded its goal by $29,777 – and enabled WQED to add a seventh program to the production schedule.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Dubbed “Rickstarter,” the campaign kicked off on March 27 with the goal of raising $113,000 in 30 days to fund six new programs titled <i>NEBBY: Rick Sebak’s Tales of Greater Pittsburgh</i>. That initial goal was met on April 17 – eight days ahead of schedule. The campaign continued with a “stretch goal” of $133,000 to fund a seventh program, which was met on April 23. The 30-day campaign ended at 12:01am on April 26 with a total of $142,777 raised from 1,411 donors. Kickstarter crowd funding campaigns are “all or nothing,” meaning that if the goal is not met, no money would be forthcoming.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">“This was WQED’s first crowd funding effort, and the results blew us away,” said Deborah L. Acklin, president and chief executive officer of WQED Multimedia. “We’re always looking for new ways to fund projects, and a Rick Sebak series was the perfect fit for this type of campaign. His audience spans all age groups and his popularity is universal.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">“I have to say that the whole Kickstarter/Rickstarter experience has been exhilarating but also terrifying at times,” said Rick. “This <i>NEBBY</i> project was an experiment and a gamble, and we had a high goal for what was essentially a local Pittsburgh project, but people I’ve known and worked with and done stories about over my thirty years at WQED—as well as many people I’ve never met-- all came through with a level of enthusiasm and support that is amazing.”</span></div>

Rick himself made more than 35 personal appearances during the campaign, appearing at such varied places as Rick Sebak Day in Millvale, local restaurants, craft breweries, and food trucks, as well as interviews on local television, radio and podcasts. Social media played a major role in getting the word out to his fans and the general public, and the response was overwhelming.</span></div>

Based on the character of Falstaff in Shakespeare’s plays The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, Verdi’s opera, with a libretto by Arrigo Boito, premiered in 1893, and was the composer’s final work. The story follows the travails of Sir John Falstaff, a portly, aging knight who has come upon hard times and endeavors to improve his stature by seducing married women away from their husbands. Mistaken identities, thwarted assignations, hapless misadventures, fairies, disguises, and a wedding -- these all combine to form a delightful comic farce that is a tour de force of ensemble work.<br />

Written as he approached the age of 80, Verdi’s score sparkles with freshness and originality and overflows with wit. “Verdi loved Shakespeare, and it is no coincidence that his final two operas (Otello and Falstaf ) were Shakespearean tales. At this point, he had been writing opera for more than 50 years, but continued to innovate and evolve the art form through this last masterpiece. In many ways, this is Verdi thumbing his nose to critics who said he could never write a great comedy. Well, he really showed them!” says Artistic Director Maria Sensi Sellner. “I think this is the greatest opera for an ensemble cast, and it has allowed us to assemble an amazing team of creative talent, both on and off the stage.”<br />
<br />
University of Pittsburgh faculty members Gianni Downs (Scenic Design) and Karen Gilmer (Costume Design) join the creative team, which includes regular Resonance Works collaborators Kate Devlin Matz (Lighting Design) and Carnegie Mellon faculty member Tina Shackleford (Stage Manager). Pittsburgh Opera Resident Artist alumna Stephanie Havey (North Carolina Opera, Opera Philadelphia, Atlanta Opera) will direct this new production, which is made possible with support from the Heinz Endowments through their Small Arts Initiative.<br />

“Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor has seen many incarnations, none so perfect a marriage of music and text as Verdi's quintessential composition Falstaf ” says director Stephanie Havey. “ Our production draws on the imagery of the idealized housewife and the apple, as both a symbol of hospitality and sexual manipulation. Set in the manor house of an apple orchard, romance and jealousy take center stage in this comedy of misguided seductions.” Baritone Benjamin Bloomfield (Castleton Festival, NY City Opera) makes his Pittsburgh debut with the title role of Sir John Falstaff. Benjamin Robinson (Michigan Opera Theater, Opera Theater of Pittsburgh) and Matthew Scollin (Pittsburgh Opera, Glimmerglass Festival) portray his cronies Bardolfo and Pistola.<br />
<br />
In the roles of the merry wives, local favorites Kara Cornell (Trouble in Tahiti) and Amelia D’Arcy (Macbeth) play Meg Page and Alice Ford, with returning mezzo Brooke Larimer (Song of the Earth, Macbeth) in the mischievous role of Mistress Quickly. Newcomer Natalie Polito (Opera Saratoga, Virginia Opera) and Resonance Works veteran Christopher Lucier (Elixir of Love, Macbeth) will sing the pair of young lovers, Nannetta and Fenton, with baritone Joshua Jeremiah (Arizona Opera, PROTOTYPE Festival) making his Pittsburgh debut as the jealous husband, schemer, and disapproving father, Ford.<br />
<br />
Former Pittsburgher and Resonance Works founding board member Joseph Gaines returns to reprise the role of Dr. Caius, which he previously performed at Pittsburgh Opera and covered at the Metropolitan Opera under the baton of James Levine. Run time is 2 hours, 30 minutes, including two intermissions. Tickets for Falstaf begin at $30, available online at www.resworks.org/tickets<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;">The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization.

<b>Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Presents North American Premiere of Deane’s ‘Romeo and
Juliet’
‘Romeo and Juliet’ Marks PBT Season Finale April 21-23, at the Benedum</b></h2>
<div>
PITTSBURGH, PA (March 2017) – In the company’s 2016-2017 Season finale, Pittsburgh Ballet
Theatre (PBT) will present the North American premiere of Derek Deane’s dramatic “Romeo and
Juliet” with the PBT Orchestra in five performances April 21-23, at the Benedum Center.
The production features opulent costume and scenic designs by Roberta Guidi di Bagno, a
native of Italy, and new lighting designs by Michael Korsch. Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Music
Director and Conductor, Charles Barker will lead the PBT Orchestra in Russian composer Sergei
Prokofiev’s famous score.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pbt.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/RJ-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://www.pbt.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/RJ-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Deane originally choreographed his interpretation of Shakespeare’s tragic love story in 1998 for
English National Ballet’s in-the-round production at Royal Albert Hall. In 1999, Deane recreated
the production for the traditional proscenium stage, which is the version PBT will introduce to
North American audiences this spring.
Deane’s is a classic reading of Shakespeare’s story of star-crossed lovers designed in the
decadent aesthetic of Renaissance Verona. Standout settings are the moonlit balcony scene and
the eerie crypt with its somber procession of candle-bearing monks.
Many credit Prokofiev’s score for cementing “Romeo and Juliet’s” place among the major works
in the ballet repertoire. The intense, richly varied music is particularly famous for its character
portraits and an emotional range that contains notes of both tenderness and brutality.
Prokofiev composed the score in 1935, though it wasn’t performed as a ballet until 1938. Three
suites and 10 piano pieces extracted from the score were the first to reach the public. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although it was intended for the Kirov ballet, “Romeo and Juliet” premiered instead in Brno,
Czechoslovakia (now in the Czech Republic) in 1938. It didn’t debut in the Soviet Union until the
Kirov staged it in 1940.
NPR’s Ted Libbey, author of its “Listener’s Encyclopedia of Classical Music,” says “’Romeo and
Juliet’ is one of the most beautiful scores of the 20th century, and certainly one of the greatest
compositions for the ballet stage, on a par with the great Tchaikovsky ballets.” </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The nuance of the music and drama of the story set the scene for expressive dancing that
demands both technical and emotional intensity from its performers.
“I think Derek lends a certain authenticity to the dancing and the acting that make the drama of
this story very human and personal to the people dancing it,” said Terrence S. Orr, PBT artistic
director.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“His staging of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is sweeping and theatrical, but it also reminds us why
the themes of this 16th-century story remain so relevant today.”
“Romeo and Juliet’s” dancing follows its own character arc from the rapturous first encounter to
their tragic reunion in the crypt. The choreography also capitalizes on the physicality of the male
dancers in dueling scenes between the Montagues and Capulets and raises tensions with
frenzied sword-fighting sequences.
In addition to the character development of Romeo and Juliet, roles to watch include the fiery
Tybalt and stony Lady Capulet, spotlighted in a heartrending reaction to the death of her
nephew.
Tickets for “Romeo and Juliet” start at $28, and are available at www.pbt.org, by calling 412-456-

About Derek Deane
Derek Deane trained at the Royal Ballet School from 1970 to 1972 and was invited to join the
professional company at age 18. He was promoted to soloist, principal and finally to senior
principal dancer by 1982. He danced most of the major roles in the Royal Ballet’s classical
repertoire and in works by the most important choreographers of the 20th century. He began
choreographing during his performing career, creating ballets for the Royal Ballet, Sadler’s Wells
Ballet and Birmingham Ballet. After retiring from the stage, he worked independently as an
international teacher and choreographer and, in 1990, became resident choreographer and
assistant director at Ballet di Roma in Italy. Deane returned to England and from 1993 to 2001
was artistic director of the English National Ballet (ENB). He premiered new productions of major
classical works, including “Giselle,” “Swan Lake,” “The Sleeping Beauty,” “Paquita” and “The
Nutcracker,” as well as his own original works. He pioneered ENB’s hugely successful “in the
round” productions: His arena version of “Swan Lake” has been seen by over 750,000 people
worldwide. His “Alice in Wonderland,” “Swan Lake” and “Strictly Gershwin” were at the time the
highest-earning productions in the company’s history and had record-breaking attendance.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He
was awarded the Order of the British Empire for Excellence in Dance in 2000. Deane created
three world premieres for PBT: “Hungry Heart . . . We All Have One!” (2004), “Simply Simon”
(2005) and “Anything Goes!” (2006). In February, PBT reprised his “Alice in Wonderland” at the
Benedum Center. His most recent work, “Hamlet,” had its world premiere at Shanghai Ballet in
2016</div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;">The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts. <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.trustarts.org/&source=gmail&ust=1490182735583000&usg=AFQjCNFdkPlD95U1aoXyl73lH0Uv_bmmWQ" href="http://www.trustarts.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.TrustArts.org</a> </span><br />

<div class="m_-183272897570710487gmail-normal">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10pt;">Thought to have been first performed in 429 BC, OEDIPUS REX takes place in the plague-ridden city of Thebes. King Oedipus sends for a prophet who determines that an unsolved murder is the cause of the gods’ displeasure— and Oedipus is the killer. What follows is an unsettling investigation of the past, which begins at a three-way crossroad and ends in a moment of horrifying self-discovery. It is an age-old tale of the dangers of hubris, told by one of history’s original playwrights, and its themes continue to resonate with audiences today.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10pt;">PICT Classic Theatre’s production of OEDIPUS REX is a world premiere adaptation by PICT’s Artistic and Executive Director Alan Stanford, who has set the play in the Mediterranean region of northern Africa. “What the audience will experience will be similar to what the Greeks first presented as theatre,” said Stanford. “Theatre then was performed very much as a ritual. What the audience will see is a group of exceptional actors allowing a timeless story to unfold before their eyes.” The play will star Justin Wilson as King Oedipus, Johnny Lee Davenport as Creon, and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 2015 Performer of the Year, James FitzGerald as Teiresias.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;">The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">PITTSBURGH—The City of Paris has captured imaginations and inspired artists of all disciplines for generations. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and French conductor Yan Pascal Tortelier take audiences to this magical city during the BNY Mellon Grand Classics Weekend, “Bolero!” on March 17-19 at Heinz Hall.</span></div>
<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">With a program full of music originally composed for ballets, the weekend’s concerts include movements from Offenbach’s <i>La Gaîté Parisienne</i>, depicting a scene from a fashionable Parisian café in the mid-1800s, followed by Ravel’s pulsating <i>Boléro</i>, which premiered at the Paris Opera in November 1928. Tortelier also will lead the orchestra in a performance of Stravinsky’s <i>Pétrushka,</i> which tells the story of the loves and jealousies among three puppets. Maestro Tortelier has chosen to perform the 1947 version, which is the same year of his birth, in an early celebration of his 70th birthday on April 19!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><b><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 10pt;">YAN PASCAL TORTELIER</span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 10pt;"> enjoys a distinguished career as guest conductor of the world’s most prestigious orchestras. He began his musical career as a violinist and, at 14, won first prize for violin at the Paris Conservatoire, making his soloist debut with the London Philharmonic Orchestra shortly afterward. Following general musical studies with Nadia Boulanger, Tortelier studied conducting with Franco Ferrara at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena. This season, Yan Pascal Tortelier takes up the position of chief conductor of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra with whom he has built a very special relationship during his guest appearances with the orchestra in recent seasons. Former positions have included principal conductor and artistic director of the Ulster Orchestra (1989-1992) and principal guest conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (2005-2008). He was also principal conductor of the Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra from 2009 to 2011. Following his outstanding work as chief conductor of the BBC Philharmonic between 1992 and 2003, including annual appearances at the BBC Proms and a very successful tour of the United States to celebrate the orchestra's 60th anniversary season, he was given the title of conductor emeritus and continues to work and record with the orchestra regularly. Tortelier also holds the position of principal guest conductor at the Royal Academy of Music in London.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />Tortelier has enjoyed a long association with Chandos Records, resulting in an extensive catalogue of recordings, notably with the BBC Philharmonic and Ulster orchestras, and including award-winning cycles of the orchestral music of Debussy, Ravel (featuring his own orchestration of Ravel's Piano Trio), Franck, Roussel and Dutilleux. He has also conducted critically acclaimed discs of repertoire ranging from Hindemith and Kodaly to Lutoslawski, and Karlowicz. Recent releases for Chandos include the Ravel piano concertos coupled with Debussy’s <i>Fantaisie</i>, with pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, and a disc of works by Florent Schmitt with the Sao Paulo Symphony. In the 2013-2014 season, Tortelier added to this catalogue with the release of an entire disc of Stravinsky, once again collaborating with Jean-Efflam Bavouzet.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 10pt;">The<b> PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA</b>, known for its artistic excellence for more than 120 years, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. Past music directors have included Fritz Reiner (1938-1948), William Steinberg (1952-1976), André Previn (1976-1984), Lorin Maazel (1984-1996) and Mariss Jansons (1995-2004). This tradition of outstanding international music directors was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck became music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony. The orchestra has been at the forefront of championing new American works, and gave the first performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1 “Jeremiah” in 1944 and John Adams’ <i>Short Ride in a Fast Machine</i> in 1986. The Pittsburgh Symphony has a long and illustrious history in the areas of recordings and radio concerts. Its “Pittsburgh Live!” series with Reference Recordings has resulted in back-to-back Grammy Award nominations in 2015 and 2016. As early as 1936, the Pittsburgh Symphony broadcast on the airwaves coast-to-coast and in the late 1970s it made the ground breaking PBS series “Previn and the Pittsburgh.” The orchestra has received increased national attention since 1982 through network radio broadcasts on Public Radio International, produced by Classical WQED-FM 89.3, made possible by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. With a long and distinguished history of touring both domestically and overseas since 1900 — including international tours to Europe, the Far East and South America—the Pittsburgh Symphony continues to be critically acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest orchestras.</span></div>

<b>Pittsburgh, PA:</b> Pittsburgh Opera’s 2016-’17 season concludes with the first world premiere in our illustrious 78-year history. Opera lovers, baseball fans, and Pittsburghers of all stripes will be dazzled by Daniel Sonenberg’s <b><a href="http://www.pittsburghopera.org/show/the-summer-king" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">The Summer King - the Josh Gibson Story</a></b>, at the Benedum Center April 29th – May 7th.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As baseball fans and proud Pittsburgh history enthusiasts know, Josh went from the sandlots of Pittsburgh’s North Side to the pinnacle of greatness on the baseball diamond in the Negro Leagues, before ultimately being enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The opera begins with a father and son debating about great baseball players. When the father mentions Josh Gibson, the son thinks his father is living in the past. But as his father retorts, “Who’s got those numbers today?” </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The Summer King </b>follows Josh at key points in his life, including his playing days in the Negro Leagues as well as in Mexico, where he was awarded the MVP award while playing for the Veracruz Azules. The robust supporting characters include his wife Helen, who dies in childbirth, his girlfriend Grace, sung by the legendary <a href="http://www.denycegraves.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Denyce Graves</a> in her Pittsburgh Opera debut, and teammates such as Sam Bankhead and Cool Papa Bell. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also featured in prominent roles are the gregarious Gus Greenlee, who owned not just the Pittsburgh Crawfords but also the legendary Crawford Grill in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, and Wendell Smith, an intrepid reporter for the celebrated African American newspaper <i>The Pittsburgh Courier</i>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Like all African Americans at the time, Josh was prohibited from playing in the Major Leagues by what was disingenuously referred to as a “gentlemen’s agreement” among the Major League clubs. Sadly, Josh died at the age of 35, felled by a stroke shortly before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pittsburgh Opera is proud and privileged to premiere <b>The Summer King</b>, Josh Gibson’s story. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pittsburgh Opera’s annual Student Matinee will introduce 2,600+ school children grades 3-12 to this lively opera on Thurs., May 4th at the Benedum Center. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Fascinating Facts about The Summer King</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>For crusading<i> Pittsburgh Courier</i> journalist Wendell Smith, seeing baseball's color barrier broken had an extra level of significance. In college, a major league scout told Smith he wished that he could sign him, but couldn't due to the color barrier.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Five Pittsburgh sports legends will appear as supernumeraries in one or more performances of <b>The Summer King</b>. Former Pirates <a href="http://al-oliver.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Al Oliver</a> and <a href="http://www.seancasey.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Sean Casey</a>, and former Steelers <a href="http://www.profootballhof.com/players/franco-harris/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Franco Harris</a>, <a href="http://www.rockybleier.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Rocky Bleier</a> and <a href="http://charliebatch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Charlie Batch</a>’s participation symbolizes that while Josh's athletic greatness may have gone unnoticed by much of the white public in his day, Pittsburgh's sports heroes recognize him as one of their own.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Many of Josh’s descendants are alive and well, and still live in Pittsburgh. Great-grandson Sean Gibson is the Executive Director of <a href="http://www.joshgibson.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">The Josh Gibson Foundation</a>, which develops programs that help children of every ability level reach their potential. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Pittsburgh Opera chorister Skip Napier’s grandfather <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudie_Napier" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Eudie Napier</a> was Josh’s teammate on the 1946 Homestead Grays. Skip, a baritone, is a classically trained singer.</li>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">PITTSBURGH—Prague is the city that cherished Mozart, inspired Smetana and Janáček, and launched Dvořák. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra celebrates the city’s unique place in musical history during the BNY Mellon Grand Classics weekend, “Mozart in Prague,” on March 10 & 12 at Heinz Hall.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Slovakian conductor Juraj Valčuha returns to Pittsburgh with a program inspired by this magical city — from Smetana’s famous <i>Moldau</i>, depicting the river flowing through the city, to Mozart’s Symphony No. 38, nicknamed the “Prague,” premiered in Prague in 1787. This weekend’s program features the debut of Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi, performing Dvořák’s Piano Concerto, last heard in Heinz Hall over a decade ago. The program closes with Dvořák’s colorful <i>Carnival Overture</i>, in which the composer depicts a city at nightfall, filled with “shouts of joy and unrestrained hilarity.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">A pre-concert talk, open to all ticketholders, will occur on stage one hour before each concert. On Friday, students from the Pittsburgh Piano Teachers’ Association and, on Sunday, a Youth Chamber Connection ensemble will perform one hour before concert start time in the Grand Lobby of Heinz Hall. These performances are free and open to ticketholders. Program notes for the weekend are available online at pittsburghsymphony.org/Prague and on the PSO mobile app the day of the concert.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">The concert begins at 8 p.m. on Friday and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets, ranging in price from $20 to $94, can be purchased by calling the Heinz Hall box office at 412-392-4900 or visiting pittsburghsymphony.org/Prague.</span></div>

technical skill. Widely renowned for his interpretation of Mozart and the early Romantic repertoire, Piemontesi’s pianism and sensibility has a close affinity too with the later 19th century and 20th century repertoire of Brahms, Liszt, Dvořák, Ravel, Debussy, Bartók and beyond. Of one of his great teachers and mentors, Alfred Brendel, Piemontesi says that Brendel taught him “to love the detail of things.”<br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 10pt;">The<b> PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA</b>, known for its artistic excellence for more than 120 years, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. Past music directors have included Fritz Reiner (1938-1948), William Steinberg (1952-1976), André Previn (1976-1984), Lorin Maazel (1984-1996) and Mariss Jansons (1995-2004). This tradition of outstanding international music directors was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck became music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony. The orchestra has been at the forefront of championing new American works, and gave the first performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1 “Jeremiah” in 1944 and John Adams’ <i>Short Ride in a Fast Machine</i> in 1986. The Pittsburgh Symphony has a long and illustrious history in the areas of recordings and radio concerts. Its “Pittsburgh Live!” series with Reference Recordings has resulted in back-to-back Grammy Award nominations in 2015 and 2016. As early as 1936, the Pittsburgh Symphony broadcast on the airwaves coast-to-coast and in the late 1970s it made the ground breaking PBS series “Previn and the Pittsburgh.” The orchestra has received increased national attention since 1982 through network radio broadcasts on Public Radio International, produced by Classical WQED-FM 89.3, made possible by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. With a long and distinguished history of touring both domestically and overseas since 1900 — including international tours to Europe, the Far East and South America—the Pittsburgh Symphony continues to be critically acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest orchestras.</span></div>

<b>Pittsburgh, PA</b> – February 1, 2017. MTAP--Musical Theatre Artists of Pittsburgh is asking regional artists and songwriters to submit songs to <a href="mailto:MTAPgh@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">MTAPgh@gmail.com</span></a> by March 1 to be considered for its second edition of Hot Metal Musicals, scheduled for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_657204473" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">June 5, 2017</span></span>, at the Cabaret Theater at Theater Square in downtown Pittsburgh. The showcase aims to raise the profile of new musical theatre work developed by current and prospective MTAP members, but songs unattached to a musical will also be considered. MTAP is open to all and invites and encourages submissions from artists working in many different musical idioms, from traditional musical theatre to pop, rock, jazz, hip hop, rap and musical languages still in the making.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">
Interested artists are asked to send one or two song demos, either as mp3s or with a link to YouTube, SoundCloud, etc. If the song or songs come from a musical, a brief synopsis of the show (Word file or pdf) should accompany them. The demos must be sung; no electronic vocal lines. Artists may submit materials for more than one show but are asked to submit each show via separate email. Any songwriter looking to write something new may find inspiration in Pittsburgh itself. All materials must be submitted electronically to <a href="mailto:MTAPgh@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">MTAPgh@gmail.com</span></a> with one project per email (limit of 3 separate submissions) and must include the artist/s name, email and phone number on all submitted materials.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">
Selected musical theatre artists will be asked to send additional materials by <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_657204474" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">April 15</span></span>, including a piano/vocal score or lead sheet for the selected song or songs. There is no fee to submit work, but since the purpose of Hot Metal Musicals is to showcase MTAP member work, selected artists will be asked to become core members of MTAP, which requires payment of modest dues (membership is currently $25.00/year, student membership is free, and all meetings are open to anyone interested whether a member or not). More information is available at MTAP’s website: <b><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://mtap.weebly.com&source=gmail&ust=1487254317178000&usg=AFQjCNFRtjdZ5wB7WogJiYOtecaA-_ATVA" href="http://mtap.weebly.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">mtap.weebly.com</a></b>.<u></u><u></u></div>

MTAP has been established to foster collaboration between musical theatre artists in the region, and to create opportunities for the development, presentation, and production of new musical theatre. Besides the inaugural Hot Metal Musicals in 2015, MTAP has produced in its brief history six Incubator readings of members’ shows in development. It welcomes new members, including composers, librettists, lyricists, performers, musicians, directors and producers, and seeks the involvement of artists creating new musical theatre of all kinds. <u></u><u></u></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;">The hotly anticipated rock event of the year returns, as BRIT FLOYD brings the music of Pink Floyd to life once again with its lavish new stage show, <em>Pink Floyd Immersion World Tour 2017</em>. The spectacle of a Pink Floyd concert experience is truly recaptured in high-definition sound, and with a stunning million dollar light show and state of the art video design. As well as performing the favourite moments from <em>The Dark Side of the Moon</em>, <em>Wish You Were Here</em>, <em>The Wall</em> and<em>The Division Bell</em>, BRIT FLOYD will also pay special tribute to the <em>Animals</em> album, in its 40th anniversary year, with a show stopping rendition of <em>Dogs</em>, as well as a host of other Pink Floyd musical gems.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;">The BRIT FLOYD show has truly become a phenomenon, widely regarded as the world's greatest live tribute to Pink Floyd. Faithfully recreating the scale and pomp of the final 1994 Division Bell tour, complete with circle screen and multiple moving light design, lasers, inflatables and theatrics, a BRIT FLOYD show really is as close as fans will ever get to experiencing the magnificence of a Pink Floyd show live. More than a tribute, it’s as good as they say. Believe the hype and don’t miss it! The new <em>Pink Floyd Immersion</em> show promises to be Brit Floyd's most ambitious and best production yet. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;">The BRIT FLOYD</span><em style="font-family: "times new roman", times; font-size: small;"> Pink Floyd Immersion World Tour 2017</em><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;">is a Chas Cole for CMP Entertainment presentation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong><strong><br /></strong>The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Cultural Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong><strong><br /></strong>The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Cultural Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts. For more information about all gallery exhibitions featured in the Cultural District, please visit <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://trustarts.org/&source=gmail&ust=1485569568385000&usg=AFQjCNGn9EI37hcDPibDrg9C27OlYgeqig" href="https://trustarts.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">TrustArts.org</a>.</span></div>

<strong><em>“More than any Irish group, this Donegal quintet is seen as keeper of the traditional flame.”</em></strong></div>

In the last dozen years, no traditional Irish band has had a wider impact on audiences and music loves throughout the world than Altan. They have moved audiences from Donegal to Tokyo to Seattle with their heartwarming, dynamic live performances, and with their exquisitely produced, award-winning recordings that range from the most touching old Irish songs to hard-hitting reels and jigs. Throughout their career, Altan has shown unwavering commitment to bringing the best of traditional music to contemporary audiences, particularly that of the Donegal fiddlers and singers.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace; font-size: 13.3333px;">
The chance to experience this thirty-year active band is to experience the living legacy of Irish music. The seeds of Altan lie in the music and spontaneity of sessions in kitchens and pubs in their hometown of Donegal, where their music was heard in an atmosphere of respect and intimacy. It is here that the bands’ heart still lies, whether they are performing on TV in Australia or jamming with Ricky Skaggs on the west coast of the United States. Founded by Gweedore singer and fiddler, Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh and her now deceased partner Frankie Kennedy, Altan’s commitment to good natured fun was second only to their commitment to excellence in all things musical. Thus, the band members gathered were inevitably top-notch. Altan has always been a band of virtuosos. The earliest addition was a bouzouki-player, Ciaran Curran, then US-based Derry guitarist Daithi Sproule whom they met during their first tours of the US . Followed by Donegal fiddler, Ciaran Tourish, a player with a special love for the weaving of spontaneous harmony and counterpoint round the melodies of the other lead players. Ciaran’s nephew, Martin Tourish is the newest band member on accordion.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;">The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Cultural Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts.

“A singular phenomenon” (<em>The Des Moines Register</em>) and an “uproarious time, filled to the brim with mile-a-minute jokes” (<em>Buffalo News</em>), Dixie Longate’s newest show swaps Tupperware for a mechanical bull as she takes audiences back to her hometown of Mobile, Alabama. Put on your cowboy boots and walk into her favorite honkytonk as Dixie shares lessons learned after a hard night of drinking.</div>

For over 10 years, theatre-goers and critics around the world have hailed “Dixie’s Tupperware Party” as a non-stop laughter hit, so it’s no surprise that Ms. Dixie has dreamed up a follow-up show that has reviewers cheering and audiences on their feet begging for more fun! Developed by Denver Center for the Performing Arts in the spring of 2014, Never Wear a Tube Top While Riding a Mechanical Bull “offers up some real food for thought…with a down-home earthy realness that is especially loveable” (<em>Star-Telegram</em>).</div>

<strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong><br />
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts.</div>

What happens to civilians caught in civil war, occupations, genocide? How do families get displaced due to industries being moved to foreign countries? How does it look when whole communities have to leave their homes to become environmental or political refugees? These are some of the questions being explored through this multimedia exhibition.</span></div>

Images and hand-made objects explore subtext within the representation of landscape scenes. Playful photographs bring the outdoors into a portrait studio and images borrow from classic portrayals of idealism and nature in relation to the female figure. The work addresses landscape as a timeless place where solutions are sought and asks, is it misguided to look? Off-Road presents a creative process that parallels a search at the heart of landscape imagery.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;">Children can play in a free flow of imagination and in-the-moment interactions. As we grow into adults, we often harden into our roles and live more in the past and future than the present. Who are we when we return to that unfettered flow of childhood? Does the path lead us back to the same adult that we were before?<strong><br /><br />Outdoor Installations/Public Art</strong>Along the way to various indoor Crawl locations, be sure to stop and see some outdoor public art installations: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong>The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Cultural Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", times; font-size: xx-small;">Pittsburgh, PA – The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announces <strong>I AM NOT SAM, </strong>a timely and critically acclaimed play by playwright, director, actor and screenwriter Michael Phillip Edwards. The one-man play will be performed at the August Wilson Center (980 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh) on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1142237727" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">January 27 and 28</span></span> at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1142237728" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:00 p.m.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", times; font-size: xx-small;">I Am Not Sam is written and performed by Michael Phillip Edwards, winner of the Edinburgh Fringe First Award and the NAACP Award, and directed by Tamika Lamison. This hard-hitting multi-character solo performance highlights the current climate of race relations in America, eloquently depicting the psychological and spiritual damage sustained by men of color.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", times; font-size: xx-small;">“Michael Phillip Edward’s fiery one-person play is a blistering rumination on identity and race, and the toll racism takes on American men of color. Its urgency erupts from the inner dialogue of an elderly black man named Sam who burns with racial pride and shame,” comments Deborah Klugman of L.A. Stage Raw Magazine. Edward’s characters include Sam, his white middle-class son-in-law, and his mixed-race grandson, Benjamin. Though Edwards alternates among these, it is Sam who commands the stage most often, deliberating on the question, “What is black?” posed by his grandson. The urgency of the play spawns not from the unfolding of events, but from inner dialogue and turmoil. The play’s explosive language and compelling rhythms are matched by a fevered performance and an exploration of the manifestation of race in society through familial relationships.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", times; font-size: xx-small;"><strong>Pittsburgh Cultural Trust</strong>The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">PITTSBURGH—Acclaimed Finnish conductor Jukka-Pekka Saraste returns to Heinz Hall for the first time since 1999 to lead the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven’s Seventh and Sibelius’ Fifth symphonies during the BNY Mellon Grand Classics weekend on January 13 and 15.<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="background: yellow;"></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">First performed in 1813, the remarkable, energetic Seventh Symphony from Beethoven was met with immediate acclaim and, over the years, many different interpretations of its meaning, including a recent critically acclaimed recording from the Pittsburgh Symphony on the Reference Recordings Fresh! label.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Composed a little more than 100 years after Beethoven’s symphony, Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5 premiered in celebration of the composer’s 50th birthday in 1915. The work opens with a four-note theme in the horns that is developed seamlessly throughout, expanding into an exhilarating rush of energy to the end. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 10pt;">Born in Heinola, Finland, he began his career as a violinist before training as a conductor with Jorma Panula at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. An artist of exceptional versatility and breadth, Saraste feels a special affinity with the sound and style of late Romantic music. Equally, he maintains a strong connection with the music of our time, such as that of Dutilleux, Lindberg, Salonen and Saariaho, among others. He recently conducted world premieres by Wolfgang Rihm, Friedrich Cerha, Pascal Dusapin, Philippe Schoeller and Carmine Emanuele Cella.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 10pt;">Saraste has served as chief conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra, Cologne, since 2010. In April 2015, he extended his contract until the 2018-2019 season. He was music director and chief conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra from 2006 to 2013, and at the end of his tenure there was made conductor laureate, the very first such title bestowed by that orchestra. His previous positions have included BBC Symphony Orchestra, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Scottish Chamber Orchestra. He founded the Finnish Chamber Orchestra, of which he is still artistic advisor, and the orchestra´s annual Tammisaari Festival, of which he is artistic director.</span></div>

His recordings of Mahler´s Sixth Symphony with the Oslo Philharmonic and Mahler´s Ninth Symphony with the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne have received widespread acknowledgement. His recordings with WDR Symphony Orchestra for Hänssler have earned him high critical praise, and include Schoenberg’s Pelleas and Melisande, Stravinsky’s <i>The Firebird</i>, Brahms’ Symphonies No. 1 and 3 as well as Mahler’s Fifth Symphony.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 10pt;">The<b> PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA</b>, known for its artistic excellence for more than 120 years, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. Past music directors have included Fritz Reiner (1938-1948), William Steinberg (1952-1976), André Previn (1976-1984), Lorin Maazel (1984-1996) and Mariss Jansons (1995-2004). This tradition of outstanding international music directors was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck became music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony. The orchestra has been at the forefront of championing new American works, and gave the first performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1 “Jeremiah” in 1944 and John Adams’ <i>Short Ride in a Fast Machine</i> in 1986. The Pittsburgh Symphony has a long and illustrious history in the areas of recordings and radio concerts. Its “Pittsburgh Live!” series with Reference Recordings has resulted in back-to-back Grammy Award nominations in 2015 and 2016. As early as 1936, the Pittsburgh Symphony broadcast on the airwaves coast-to-coast and in the late 1970s it made the ground breaking PBS series “Previn and the Pittsburgh.” The orchestra has received increased national attention since 1982 through network radio broadcasts on Public Radio International, produced by Classical WQED-FM 89.3, made possible by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. With a long and distinguished history of touring both domestically and overseas since 1900 — including international tours to Europe, the Far East and South America—the Pittsburgh Symphony continues to be critically acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest orchestras.</span></div>
