B4 course student Artem Tereshchenko (assoc. prof. J. Dvarionas class) performed in Italy

B4 course student Artem Tereshchenko performed in Italy. Artem talks about his solo concert: “my solo concert was on 12.07 in Orbetello, Italy on the seashore. More than 200 people pre-ordered tickets, and the audience was very warm. I performed F.Chopin etudes, Ondine by M.Ravel, The Songbook by G.Gershwin and F.Liszt-Horowitz Hungarian rhapsody no.2. It was quite challenging to play because of the wind, the humidity and the insects, but the atmosphere was so inspiring that it turned out to be my best concert ever”.

Prof. Marina Bartoli Lecture and Master Class for Vocal Department Students, October 30

The course will examine the fundamental themes, both technical and interpretative, pertinent to the music from the Early Baroque to Classic periods of the various European schools. Furthermore, it will investigate diverse musical works, ranging from church music, chamber music, and operatic repertoire, representative of the 17th century until the first part of the 19th century.

The following key topics will serve as a foundation for the proposed work:

  • Theory of affects: technical and interpretive characteristics of ‘ancient’ singing and playing.
  • Specific skills: control of vibrato, agility of gorgia, trillo ribattuto [repeated trill], messa di voce.
  • From recitar cantando to recitativo: importance of dramatic narration.
  • The origins of monody and basso continuo. Philological approach to the performance practice of 17th, 18th and 19th century compositions.
  • Attention to good pronunciation and diction, i.e. good intelligibility of the sung text in the various European languages (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish music literature).
