  “I have had the best of all worlds—a wonderful tone-deaf husband (!), four sons and a daughter, seven grandchildren, and a career of teaching and concertizing. I have been honored to dedicate many new pipe organs, and served God and four dynamic church congregations: the Glenview Community Church in Illinois (1955-1971), the amazing Second Presbyterian Church of Baltimore (1972-2004), Catonsville Presbyterian Church, and currently Roland Park Presbyterian Church—my PERFECT retirement position!”

  Netanal Draiblate

  Jan 24, 2010 – 3:30PM

  Fresh from his 2008 Carnegie Hall solo debut, Netanel Draiblate is making his mark as a much sought after violinist in the U.S. and abroad. His “Carmen Meets Greig” program will include two lesser-played versions of the Carmen Fantasy and works by Ysaye and Debussy.

  About Netanal Draiblate

  Netanel Draiblate

  Violinist Netanel Draiblate has won prizes at the Jerusalem Academy Solo Competition, the Ben-Haim Competition, the Young Artists Competition in Haifa, and in Peabody’s Yale Gordan Competition. He was also awarded the J.C. Van Hulstein Award, the Carl Holzapfel Violin Shop Endowed Scholarship, and the Grace Clagett Ranney Prize, all by the Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University.

  Draiblate made his Carnegie Hall solo debut with the American Symphony Orchestra and receives regular invitations to principal positions in the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, the Tel-Aviv Soloists, as well as Concertmaster positions with the World Youth Orchestra, Thelma Yellin Symphony Orchestra, Israel Young Philharmonic, and the Chicago College of Performing Arts Symphony. He is currently the Guest Concertmaster with the Lancaster (PA) Symphony Orchestra.

  Draiblate has collaborated with such luminaries as Daniel Stabrawa, Pinchas Zukerman, Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Jaime Laredo, and Lin Cho Liang. He has had the honor of representing Israel in a concert hosted by the King of Norway. He currently studies under Pamela Frank.

  Draiblate is the first violinist to be supported by the Ilona Feher Foundation. He has received annual scholarships since 1990 from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation as well as scholarships from the Ronen Foundation, the Barenboim-Said Foundation, the Buchman Haiman Foundation, and the Peabody Institute.

  Distinguished by his insightful interpretations and musical versatility, pianist Stefan Petrov performs regularly as a soloist and collaborative pianist in Eastern Europe and North America. His recitals have been broadcasted on TV and radio stations across Eastern Europe, the United States, and Canada. In addition, his strong interest in modern music has compelled him to actively collaborate with contemporary music performers and composers, which has resulted in several world premieres.

  Petrov began his piano studies at age six in his hometown of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. He made his solo debut at age nine and his first orchestral appearance at age fourteen. After moving to the United States in 2000, he continued his piano studies with Neil Rutman and later, Ellen Mack. In addition, Petrov has had the opportunity to work with renowned musicians including Boris Romanov, Eric Heidsieck, Aiko Onishi, Günter Reinhold, Benjamin Pasternack, and Pamela Frank.

  Asteria burst onto the national Early Music scene in 2004, winning Early Music America’s first Unicorn Prize for Medieval and Renaissance Music with a performance heralded by the New York Times as “intimate and deeply communicative…meltingly beautiful.” This engaging duo brings out the passion and emotional impact of late medieval music with timeless love songs of wide appeal, transporting their listeners back to the age of chivalry.

  About Asteria

  Asteria

  Asteria burst onto the national Early Music scene in 2004, winning Early Music America’s first Unicorn Prize for Medieval and Renaissance Music with a performance heralded by the New York Times as “intimate and deeply communicative…meltingly beautiful.” This engaging duo brings out the passion and emotional impact of late medieval music with timeless love songs of wide appeal, transporting their listeners back to the age of chivalry.

  Eric Redlinger

  Eric Redlinger’s skill on the lute and sweet tenor voice are complemented by his expertise in early music, earned through study at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and extensive archival research into original sources. Following graduation from Middlebury College, Redlinger spent several years immersing himself in the European musical archives of the Hague, Basel and Marburg. During this time he also did post-graduate studies in composition and musicology at the Frankfurt Conservatory of Music and studied medieval lute and voice at the Schola. He now makes his home in New York.

  Sylvia Rhyne

  Sylvia Rhyne brings to the partnership not only her quicksilver soprano but also a strong dramatic connection with the audience, gained from a career in musical theater. She has starred internationally as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera, and on Broadway as Joanna in Sweeny Todd.

  Raised in London and the Pacific Northwest, Rhyne grew up surrounded by classical music, opera and dance. She pursued a passion for early music at Carleton College, guided by Stephen Kelly, taking leading roles in early operas while pursuing a degree in music. She also studied with Wesley Balk at St. Olaf College and recorded with Dennis Russell Davies and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. In New York, Rhyne was invited to sing with the New York City Opera and began ongoing coaching with Marcy Lindheimer.

  Redlinger and Rhyne first connected while performing with John Hetland’s Renaissance Street Singers, a group that brings a cappella 15th and 16thcentury music to New York City sidewalks and parks. The pair immediately discovered their mutual interest in earlier repertoire and began meeting to work on late-medieval pieces, gradually developing their passionate approach to the music. Asteria’s performances convey the anguish and ecstasy of the poetry and the rapturous beauty of the interweaving vocal and instrumental lines.

  The result of Asteria’s exploration can be heard on their first two recordings of 15th-century chansons, Le Souvenir de Vous me Tue, and Soyes Loyal.

  Notes

  “Un Très Doulx Regard” (A Most Sweet Glance) is the result of extensive archival research into a relatively obscure but extremely rich period of Franco-Flemish music dating from approximately 1390 to 1440. The vast majority of these works are anonymous or simply unattributed, and the bulk are contained in just a few manuscripts, chiefly the celebrated “Ox. Can. Misc. 213” manuscript now housed at the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England.
