EMELIN THEATRE & COPLAND HOUSE\u00a0LAUNCH NEW RESIDENCY<\/h3>\n

ECLECTIC 3-CONCERT SERIES BY MUSIC FROM COPLAND HOUSE TO SHOWCASE AMERICAN MUSICAL CREATIVITY, INNOVATION, AND HISTORY<\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"Mamaroneck NY, January 19, 2022 \u2013 The Emelin Theatre and Copland House today announce an exhilarating collaboration showcasing more than one-hundred years of American musical creativity and innovation. This spring, the internationally-acclaimed Music from Copland House ensemble, which \u201credefines what it is to listen to fine music in the 21st-century\u201d (District Fray, Washington, DC), comes to the Emelin stage, and to audiences in Westchester and surrounding areas for a vibrant three-concert residency.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The series is moving to the Emelin after having been a popular fixture in northern Westchester for over 10 years, mostly at Westchester County\u2019s Merestead estate. As the Bedford\u00a0Record-Review\u00a0raved, \u201cif you’ve ever thought of a classical music concert as something boring, stuffy, or simply to be endured … Copland House at Merestead will have even the most concert-averse thinking again.\u201d Music from Copland House\u2019s concerts were also recognized by\u00a0Westchester\u00a0magazine as \u201cBest of Westchester\u201d and \u201cBest of the Decade,\u201d and included in its feature highlighting \u201c52 Things to Love about Westchester.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Copland House residency at the Emelin marks a tremendous opportunity to partner with an internationally recognized organization, whose\u00a0artistry further diversifies our already rich and varied program of world-class music,\u201d explained the Theatre\u2019s Executive Director Elliot Fox. \u201cOver the past 50 years, the Emelin has partnered with great Westchester-based artists such as Music from Copland House to better serve and attract both existing and new audiences throughout the community. We are honored to present this three-part concert series of important American music in 2022, and look forward to\u00a0building our relationship with Copland House for the future.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Fresh from the ensemble\u2019s triumphant debut at the Kennedy Center, hailed as \u201chistoric\u201d (Broadway World), Music from Copland House\u2019s electrifying programs at the Emelin will embrace American works from Gilded Age Romanticism and the Harlem Renaissance through 20th-century classics and contemporary masters. Each event takes place on Sunday afternoon at 4pm, lasts for one-hour without intermission, and includes lively, post-concert\u00a0OFFBEAT \/ ONSTAGE\u00a0talks with the artists.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWhile Music from Copland House has performed widely at the nation\u2019s leading concert venues,\u201d said Copland House\u2019s Artistic and Executive Director Michael Boriskin, \u201cWestchester is our home \u2013 as it was for Aaron Copland \u2013 and we are excited to turn the Emelin\u2019s spotlight onto America\u2019s concert music and its world of thrilling discoveries. And we\u2019re especially glad to be resuming our live performances, after two years of the pandemic shutdown, as we join the list of illustrious artists who have performed on the Emelin\u2019s welcoming stage.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The series opens on\u00a0April 3, 2022\u00a0with \u2013 fittingly \u2013\u00a0Sounds of Westchester, a salute to generations of composers who made the county home to one of the richest musical legacies in America. The program presents works by Westchester natives or transplants, including\u00a0three\u00a0Pulitzer Prize winners, renowned past and present masters, and a genuine maverick. Featured composers are Aaron Copland (Cortlandt Manor), Joan Tower (New Rochelle), Samuel Barber, (Mount Kisco), Pierre Jalbert (Bronxville), Charles Tomlinson Griffes (Tarrytown, where he was a young teacher at the then-new Hackley School in the early 1900s!), and Percy Grainger (White Plains, from where he used to\u00a0walk\u00a0to his concerts in Brooklyn!).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On\u00a0May 1,\u00a0Lives Entwined\u00a0features three important works that embark on personal journeys to explore inner lives, outer worlds, and the joys and tensions that connect or disrupt them. Highlighting the program is the World Premiere of Emmy Award-winner John Musto\u2019s\u00a0Piano Quintet, inspired by the life and loss of a close friend. The iconic Leonard Bernstein\u2019s early, rarely-heard\u00a0Piano Trio\u00a0is an artistic coming-of-age voyage of an extravagantly-gifted teeneafer in the 1930s. The prodigious Gabriela Lena Frank\u2019s\u00a0Hilos\u00a0(“Threads”) recalls and reimagines the cultures and customs of her Peruvian ancestry.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The series finale on\u00a0June 19\u00a0is a Juneteenth celebration of this important but long-overlooked day in American history. Borrowing its title from a Maya Angelou lyric \u2013 \u201cI\u2019ve got a magic charm \/ That I keep up my sleeve\u201d \u2013 from her children’s book\u00a0Life Doesn\u2019t Frighten Me\u00a0— the concert pays tribute to the power and resilience of the human spirit.\u00a0The wide-ranging program — featuring texts by Langston Hughes, Marcus Amaker, Dudley Randall, Walt Whitman, and others — reaches back to\u00a0late-19th-century Black spirituals, visits the exuberant artistic worlds of the Harlem Renaissance, and salutes 20th- and 21st-century masters.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All concerts feature Music from Copland House, lauded by\u00a0The New Yorker\u00a0as \u201cbold, adventurous, and \u201csuperb.\u201d The only American repertory ensemble journeying widely across a century-and-a-half of the U.S. musical landscape, MCH appears on\u00a0CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, and the European Broadcasting Union; performs at Tanglewood, the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Library of Congress, and other major venues; and records on the Koch, Arabesque, and Copland House Blend labels. Its roster of Founding, Principal, and Guest Artists includes some of America\u2019s most celebrated performers, of whom\u00a0The Chicago Tribune\u00a0has raved, \u201cCopland would have been proud of them all.\u201d<\/div>\n
