New Piano Ensemble Program @ Steinway Hall
FALL 2010 THIRD STREET MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT hird Street’s piano students are no strangers to Steinway Hall, one of New York’s most elegant and prestigious musical venues. And, of course, Third Street students have long enjoyed the fun of playing in a piano ensemble during the School’s popular summer program. So it is with great pleasure that we announce a new partnership between Steinway Hall and Third Street Music School Settlement, open to children and adults from all over the metropolitan area, to experience the joys of group music-making. Held at Steinway Hall on Tuesdays for adults and Saturdays for children, these ensembles provide opportunities to play in every configuration imaginable: four-hands one-piano, four-hands two-piano, eight-hands two-piano, etc. With the beautiful new pianos, fascinating historical memorabilia and rehearsal and performance spaces available at Steinway Hall, the possibilities seem endless.

Ensemble participants are grouped by skill level and receive expert coaching from Third Street’s experienced and distinguished faculty as they explore music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and contemporary eras in addition to jazz and popular music idioms. Other components of the Piano Ensemble Program include: Master Classes with renowned guest artists, such as Seymour Bernstein and Polly Van Der Linde, workshops on relevant topics and public performances at Steinway Hall at the end of each semester. A distinguished group of artistic advisors for the Piano Ensemble Program includes Leon Fleisher and Catherine Jacobson, Mischa and Cipa Dichter, Melvin Stecher and Norman Horowitz, Ian Parker, Polly Van Der Linde and Seymour Bernstein. “This is a great opportunity for pianists.

We are grateful to the many individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies that make our programs possible through their generous support. T H IR D S T REE T MU SI C S C HO O L SE TT L EMEN T Welcome to Third Street Music School Settlement’s 116th school year! Last year was a year of many memorable events including a terrific season of faculty performances in the Artists Performance Series; a spectacular Anniversary Luncheon at the Metropolitan Club; the dedication of the School’s second brand-new Steinway recital-hall piano; the launch of the School’s redesigned Web site; and, of course, lots of music and arts learning and amazing student performances. Like me, I know that you’re looking forward to another year full of music, dance and visual arts. We are delighted to welcome our new Director of Programs, Shalisa Kline Ugaz, to Third Street. Shalisa brings considerable experience in program development and management as well as student, parent, faculty and community relationship building. Please stop by Shalisa’s office and welcome her to Third Street. (You can learn more about Shalisa on page 3 of this newsletter.) Last spring, the Board of Directors and I initiated a Program Review & Visioning Study to learn more about Third Street’s current programs and how they are meeting the needs of our community and to start looking toward the future to ensure that the School will continue to meet our community’s needs in the coming years. We are very grateful to the more than 500 students, parents, faculty, staff, board members and community representatives who participated in the study. The board expects to complete the full Program Review & Visioning Study by the end of December and the results of that work will be communicated broadly. Finally, as the nation’s oldest community school of music, and the one that created the model for many other community music schools around the nation, I have always been puzzled by the absence of historical references in our building. Third Street has a rich and vibrant history and, now, a new historical photo collage, mounted in the vestibule of the Anna-Maria Kellen Auditorium, will help us celebrate that history. I hope that you will take a moment to look at the photos and discover more about Third Street’s exciting past.

Third Street programs are also made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong, creative communities in New York State’s 62 counties.

Field, george steel PIX news at 10 anchor and twyla tharp Held at the Metropolitan Club, proceeds from this important fund-raising event provide need-based financial aid, merit-based scholarships and course subsidies, benefiting more than 75% of all students. Welcome new Director of Programs, Shalisa Kline Ugaz F Shalisa at the Merit School of Music’s Cinco de Mayo Comunidad Concert 2010. or the past nine years, Shalisa Kline Ugaz has served as Artistic Director, Director of Alegre Strings, String Department Chair and Director of Strategic Initiatives and Community Engagement at the Merit School of Music in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 1979 and with a budget of $6 million, Merit reaches 7,000 young people at its new 40,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in Chicago’s West Loop and nearly 90 locations throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. Shalisa founded Alegre Strings in 2001 in two of Chicago’s predominantly Mexican-American neighborhoods, fusing the Suzuki method with Latin American folk music. Alegre Strings, which grew to 600 students and 8 faculty in one year, later merged with Merit Music School and is now one of Merit’s flagship programs. At Merit, she was instrumental in preparing the school for its move to its new facility and led the efforts to develop curriculum models for string instruction. She strongly believes in providing everyone the opportunity to achieve his/her full musical potential and in removing all barriers to participation in the arts. Shalisa is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in violin performance. Named by the Chicago Sun Times as one of “50 People Who Make Chicago a Better Place” in 2009, Shalisa was also a top 10 national finalist in the Energizer Bunny “Keep Going Hall of Fame.” Shalisa has expressed how excited she is to join the Third Street family and to work with the board, faculty, staff, students and parents to help the School achieve its mission. She began her responsibilities in September, but will officially move to New York at a later date with her husband, Luis, and their two children, ages 4 and 7. Welcome to Third Street, Shalisa! Third Street Partners with Steinway continued from cover and is an enriching experience, pianists usually do not have as many opportunities to play together as our string, woodwind and brass counterparts. And, playing with others is fun and it improves our musicianship,” says Lee Koonce, Executive Director at Third Street and himself a pianist. Joan Forsyth, Piano Department Chair, is equally excited, “There is so much wonderful repertoire for piano duet and two or more pianos. Historically, before music could be recorded, piano ensemble music was a very important idiom. Now, groups such as The Five Browns have brought music for multiple pianos back to the forefront and there is excellent new material coming out. I can hardly wait for our first Monster Concert!” For registration and tuition information, please speak with Myra Nieves in Student Support Services at 212-777-3240, ext.30. Need-based Financial Aid is available. 3 4 Senior Night BY ANDREA LONG Senior Hannah Westerman performs. O n June 9, 2010, Third Street celebrated the accomplishments of 40 graduating seniors at the annual Senior Night concert. Twentythree students performed pieces ranging from Baroque to contemporary, classical to popular and Broadway. Highlights included a few special ensemble performances: William Douthit, guitar, Gabriella Flick, cello, and Hannah Westerman, viola, performed “Black Orpheus” by Luiz Bonfá. Andrew Chow and Ryan Hess performed a two-piano arrangement of Chick Corea’s “Spain.” Leo Singer and Mary Lou Francis performed “The Swan” from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns. At the end of the concert, students were presented with a certificate of accomplishment, a Third Street t-shirt and a copy of the Senior Book, a commemorative keepsake with a page dedicated to each of Third Street’s graduating seniors. We hope to stay in contact with these new alumni, and all alumni, for many years to come. Calling All Seniors! If you are graduating from High School this year, please sign up for Senior Night by contacting Andrea Long in the Development Department at 212-7773240, ext. 26, or along@ thirdstreetmusicschool.org.

Stella Fiorenzoli (right), Third Street alum, and Ethan D’ver (left), fellow participant in the Very Young Composer’s Program. S t e lla F i o r e n z o l i S tella Fiorenzoli had her subway-inspired music composition performed by the New York Philharmonic on May 19, 2010 at Avery Fisher Hall. Stella began her studies at Third Street when she was just five years old as a piano student of Susan Innamorato. At age 10, she became interested in composition and began taking classes with Nick Scarim. Now 17 and a senior at LaGuardia High School, Stella continues to shine in her musical studies as a composer and pianist. The Philharmonic’s Very Young Composer’s Program recently chose her piece “Sixty-Sixth Center” to be played by the illustrious New York Philharmonic, with maestro Alan Gilbert conducting. A resident of Tribeca, Stella said the piece was inspired by a broken bell on the No. 1 train as the doors were closing at 66th Street. Stella says of hearing such an amazing orchestra performing her work, “It was so thrilling to hear them perform my piece. I heard them rehearse it twice and it was great to see the way they [New York Philharmonic] work. It was really a oncein-a-lifetime experience.” Stella hopes to continue her studies in music at either Juilliard or Columbia, and thanks Third Street for the training and inspiration in her early musical education, “My experience at Third Street was so important. If it was not for the composition classes I took, I would not be composing today.” Congratulations, Stella! In the Spotlight T he Third Street Parents Association works directly with Third Street faculty and staff to put forth initiatives aimed at increasing school pride, community-connectedness and communication between the School, its parents and its students. The volunteer-based group has recently spearheaded the creation of Third Street merchandise such as t-shirts, hats, bags and pens. New this year is the start of Parent Orientation Meetings for new parents as well as returning parents and an end-of-year All-School Picnic and Fair. Please take a moment to note these upcoming dates in your calendar: “My experience at Third Street was so important.” ANNOUNCEMENTS! 6 End-of-Year All-School Picnic and Fair! Each year, Third Street students embark on a journey in which they learn new and exciting repertoire, choreography and visual arts techniques. With the help of the School’s esteemed faculty, students grow and flourish with each lesson and each performance. To celebrate all of the year’s successes, the School is holding its first End-of-Year, All-School Picnic and Fair. Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 4, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. and join the School in a celebration involving food, instrument petting zoos and demonstrations, special solo and ensemble performances, dance performances, visual arts exhibitions, and much more!

CenTeR S ge ta A S A M P L IN G Piano faculty member Roger Peltzman was recently featured in a beautiful New York Times article entitled Mother’s Savior: A Revelation. The story was published on July 30, 2010 and tells a fascinating family story involving Roger’s mother, Beatrice Peltzman (née Stern), his uncle Norbert Stern, a concert pianist, and Ghislaine Hennessey (née Bomhals) the woman who helped hide Beatrice and Norbert during the Holocaust. Although Norbert lost his life while in Auschwitz, Mrs. Hennessey would continue to help Beatrice go into hiding. O F S P E C I A Roger recently met Mrs. Hennessey, the woman who helped save his mother’s life, for the first time this summer. Visit www.nytimes.com to read the entire story.
