Out-of-the-box management, PR, and project planning for visionary artists and institutions
Pulitzer Prize winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis’ new violin concerto, recorded and premiered by violinist James Ehnes with the Seattle Symphony and conductor Ludovic Morlot on Onyx Classics [ONYX 4189], has won in two categories for Grammy awards: Best Contemporary Classical Composition, and Best Classical Instrumental Solo.
Hailed as “the Heifetz of the flute” by Gramophone, Marina Piccinini is the Special Guest Artist at the Florida Flute Association’s 43rd Annual Membership Convention in Orlando.
“With a highly charged first movement, Kernis sets his stall with intense drama before a fabulously film noir-ish second movement. Smokey, muted trumpets, a song-like lamentation on the violin and a frisson of kit-percussion makes this a standout turn from both composer and soloist,” lauds BBC Music Magazine.
“On Saturday, November 3rd, 2018, we were treated to a truly spiritual and breathtaking performance by Music from Copland House,” raves Jordi Faxon of Peninsula Reviews. “The performers received a well-deserved standing ovation, and audience members were left with a thoroughly refreshed soul and reawakened spirit. This concert was nothing if not unforgettable, and has truly left me with a reinvigorated passion for music itself.”
Marina Piccinini performed and recorded Kernis’s new flute concerto with Leonard Slatkin and the Peabody Orchestra. The Baltimore Sun said “In addition to the brilliant, prismatic writing for the flute, Kernis provides a multilayered orchestral fabric that includes, to delectable effect, a mandolin. Piccinini, who performed the concerto’s premiere last year with Slatkin and the Detroit Symphony, met the work’s thorny technical demands on this occasion with her usual aplomb.”
Dworkin & Company is thrilled to announce the addition of celebrated flutist Marina Piccinini to its roster of distinguished artists, ensembles, and arts institutions. Hailed by Gramophone magazine as “the Heifetz of the flute,” Ms. Piccinini is that rare, high-caliber artist who is devoted not only to her craft, but also to music education and the creation of programs featuring powerful traditional repertoire and inventive new works. Dworkin & Company, which proudly provides management, public relations, and project planning services, eagerly embarks on this new relationship with Ms. Piccinini, an authentically modern voice and 21st century virtuoso, much sought after around the world as a soloist, chamber music collaborator, and recording artist.
