2021 Music & Tell Episodes

A virtual performance series hosted on Sundays in April and May, 2021
Launched in 2016 by founder Paolo Bartolani, the focus of ROSMF has been to expand the local music scene in new, compelling, and adventurous ways. With the challenge of stay-home orders and closed venues, ROSMF has expanded their creative forces to present “Music & Tell” a virtual performance series hosted in 45-minute Episodes on Zoom. Music & Tell continues the mission of ROSMF and creates a stronger sense of its local identity while investing in the passion and artistry of classical and contemporary artists. 
 
“We have found ourselves moved and inspired by the many musicians connected with our festival. Music is essentially a human relationship. We can communicate our inner world through contact with the other person,” Paolo Bartolani. “To me, that is the essence of music: a reflection of the soul through sound. Living in particular times like these, music allows us to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. We cannot recall a more important time to share such sustenance”.

Sign-up for our email list or send your name and email to [email protected].   Each performance will be a unique experience.
All 2021 Music & Tell Episodes are free of charge, although we encourage you to be a 2021 RoSMF Subscriber

Episode 1
Sunday April 4, 2021 | 4pm
Yezu Elizabeth Woo, violin
Tomoki Park, piano
 
“In praise of shadows”
 
John Cage Nocturne
Yun Isang Koniglisches Thema for violin
Maurice Ravel Berceuse sur le nom de Gabriel Fauré
Claude Debussy Sonata

This program explores the Japanese writer Junichiro Tanizaki’s idea of shadow and light. He saw the West as searching for light and progress and East as searching for beauty in darkness. In the 20th century, this dialogue between West and East and light and shadow became more complex. In this program, we delve into the mysteries of this relationship.

Episode  2  
Sunday April 18, 2021 | 4pm
Gleb Kanasevich, clarinet & electronics
Music Program
Rahilia Hasanova - Agog (1994)
inti figgis-vizueta - no words (2020)



 Clarinetist Gleb Kanasevich will present two monumental and contrasting works that will highlight the instrument's "vocal" qualities, agility, and massive color palette. The program will also illuminate a wide range of methods in which the composers are drawing from, incorporating, presenting, and honoring their respective backgrounds, as well as how memories, knowledge, and life experiences are mapped onto and/or juxtaposed with the frameworks of contemporary classical music.
