| Transcript | by Mark Smith UH faculty and a host of professional musicians gathered young prodigies at the Moores School of Music for a month of workshops and unique campus performances. mall students could be seen carrying large black instrument cases into the Moores School of Music day after day in June as part of the 2005 Immanuel and Helen Olshan Texas Music Festival (TMF). This unique gathering enlivened the campus by attracting young musicians from Texas and beyond for a month of clinics and performances. Houstonians Immanuel and Helen Olshan founded TMF in 1990 as a four-week program. TMF has evolved into a premier forum for orchestral training and a showcase for young musicians. Those accepted into the festival auditioned either on tape or in a live setting. Moores' faculty, members of the Houston Symphony and traveling professionals develop the curricula of the festival and host a range of clinics and formal classes. The benefit of TMF for the public at large is a series of concerts, some free, held at the Moores Opera House and Dudley Recital Hall in the Fine Arts Building. In June 2005, most weekdays featured an entirely new concert of music. The musical programs often reflected the unique courses and workshops ongoing at the Moores School, including solo guitar, flute and piano in 2005. Each workshop was given a title such as "Classical Minds" (guitar) and "Root Fire" (flute), and these titles were used in the advertising for individual concerts. Six concerts on campus in June, for instance, featured performances by students from the "Classical Minds" guitar workshop. In addition to the UH concert series, TMF also sponsored select road-show performances at Texas A&M, showcasing both professional and amateur talent. Guitar soloists received star billing this summer, but as usual the concert series also featured symphonic and chamber arrangements. TMF's "Grand Finale" in the orchestra series included Prokofiev's "Suite from Romeo and Juliet" and Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess!' That performance on the evening of July 2 marked the end of TMF for the summer of 2005. 196 |
