ARIZONA WIND QUINTET

Faculty Artists, Woodwinds Wednesday March 21, 2018 - 7:00p.m. to 9:00p.m.

Venue: Holsclaw Hall, 1017 N Olive Rd, Tucson, AZ 85721-0004

The University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music presents the Arizona Wind Quintet in concert on Wednesday, March 21, 2018. The free-admission performance will take place at 7:00 p.m. in Holsclaw Hall. Members of the quintet are Brian Luce, flute; Sara Fraker, oboe; Jackie Glazier, clarinet; Daniel Katzen, horn; and William Dietz, bassoon. The program will feature works by Carl Nielsen, Paul Taffanel and Gunther Schuller.

Founded in 1975, the Arizona Wind Quintet performs regularly on campus and in the community, and has toured throughout the western states, including a recital at the national meeting of the Music Educators National Conference. The group has developed an educational focus in its performance schedule, traditionally inviting students from the Fred Fox School of Music at the University of Arizona to join it in performances of expanded wind ensemble works during its spring semester program.  Members of the Arizona Wind Quintet are traveling to Mexico City to perform and teach at Universidad Autónoma de México, Facultad de Música, February 24-March 2, 2018. This tour is part of a partnership between the Fred Fox School of Music and Centro de Estudios Mexicanos – UNAM Tucson.

 About the Artists:

He performs recitals and concertos while presenting master classes worldwide. He holds prizes from the National Flute Association, Myrna Brown, Mid-South, and Kingsville young artist competitions. His compositions and arrangements are available from G. Schirmer and Editions BIM, and his articles have appeared in “Flute Talk.” Dr. Luce is a Yamaha Performing Artist and has played these flutes exclusively since 1996.

The University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music

Dr. Immanuel T. Abraham, D.M.A." graduated from the Fred Fox School of Music in 2018, with his doctorate in Violin Performance, summa cum laude. He authored the dissertation titled “J.S. Bach’s Chaconne: A Performer-Composer’s Approach to Interpretation”. During his degree studies, he served simultaneously as the Concertmaster of the University of Arizona Symphony Orchestra under Dr. Thomas Cockrell, and the Arizona Contemporary Ensemble under Dr. Daniel Asia, who was also his composition professor.

Throughout this time, and dating back to 2010, he worked to complete a masterpiece— a book of advanced violin repertoire reflecting the musical globalism and diversity of the 21st century.
By the last day of 2020, he finally published his “24 Caprices for Solo Violin”. The book is now available on his website, . Here are his words about this exciting contribution to the string world.

"This 68-page compilation of advanced solo violin repertoire I have worked for more than 1/3 of my life.

The choice to write “24” is a tribute to four violinists, revered from the 18th century through today:

• Pierre Gaviniès (1728-1800)
• Pierre Rode (1774-1830)
• Niccolò Paganini (1782-1840)
• Jakob Dont (1815-1888)

All of them wrote 24 caprices for solo violin, and each set evolved the art of violin performance forevermore. After Dont, the 24-caprice tradition abruptly stopped for over 170 years, until now!

Mine are are performance pieces — not études like Gaviniès, Rodes, or Dont — and more akin to Paganini’s, in this way.

My set started from always seeking out very diverse audiences, and always writing my own music for them whenever possible. These included large rock-concert amphitheaters, juried doctoral-recitals, yoga summits, American String Teacher’s Association (ASTA) conferences, a livestream series in Nigeria, university commencements, solo soundtracking for theaters and film festivals, and much more.

Over the years, my twenty-four favorites from those performances became my “24 Caprices for Solo Violin”. This multi-genre collection contains clear influences of the baroque (three fugues), romanticism, impressionism, jazz, American fiddle, rock, tango, and more. They are all new, tonal, and eclectic compositions that purposefully fill the gaps I experienced in the extant solo violin repertoire.

Most importantly, this collection reflects musical globalism and diversity that is appropriate, and due, to the 21st century. Distribution has already reached Mexico, Egypt, and Russia.

Over the years several of these have been distributed individually. I have enjoyed many brilliant performances by colleagues, professors, students, and other artists. Here, for the first time, all twenty-four are presented together. I enthusiastically look forward to every performance following this edition!”
