The Battalion
fan once described the essence of the
^American Radio Chamber Orchestra as
hat of a Texas-based chamber orchestra
tK a national presence and the promise of inter
national reputation.
The American Radio Chamber Orchestra is a
professional chamber orchestra consisting of 25
different instruments. The group’s mission is to
promote musically-oriented entertainment across
the country.
The program, American Sounds, allows the or
chestra to accomplish its goals as they tour, per-
forming popular American pieces from the 18th,
19th and 20th centuries.
The American Radio Chamber Orchestra is the
product of American conductor Mark Powell.
Powell is a musician who says his self-proclaimed
priority is to the “inner spirit of music” and “what
[the music] makes you see and feel.”
Powell’s music is written from the standpoint
of the “musical statement as the vehicle for per
sonal enrichment and further listening.”
Powell has had the honor of participating in
many overseas competitions. In the summer of
1998, Powell was one of 30 conductors world
wide invited to the 12th International Nicolai
Malko Competition in Copenhagen, Denmark. He
also led perfonnances with the Danish National
Radio Symphony Orchestra and performed at the
Korsholm Music Festival in Vaasa, Finland.
Powell led the American Radio Chamber Or
chestra in its inaugural concert at the Festival Con
cert Hall at Round Top in December 1998. The
American concert pianist and Festival founder
James Dick called the performance one of the mu
sical highlights of the season and immediately re
engaged the group for an appearance later this year.
American Sounds will also feature Katherine
Ciesinski, a soloist who has been called “a singer
of rare communicative presence and a musician
of discrimination and intelligence” by the New
York Times.
Ciesinski has appeared in two Metropolitan
Opera productions, the Scottish Opera and the San
Francisco Opera. She has also perfonued with
many of the world’s leading orchestras including
the Cleveland, Minnesota, and Philadelphia Or
chestras, the Symphonies of Chicago, Boston, San
Francisco, Houston and Toronto, and in Europe
with the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics.
The program for Thursday’s performance in
cludes such pieces as “Chester” by William
Billings and “Adagio for Strings” by Samuel Bar
ber. Among the most popular are “Appalachian
Spring” by Aaron Copland and “After Long Si
lence” by Ned Rorem.
The orchestra will make its broadcast debut in
the summer of2000, with “See What You Hear,”
a radio program that will fulfill part of the origi
nal the mission of the orchestra. It will give the
listener an insider’s view not only of the orches
tra, but of its rehearsals, concerts, recording ses
sions and “daily life.” The program will be broad
cast over National Public Radio satellite system.
This concert will be presented as part of the In
timate Gatherings series brought to campus by
MSC OPAS.
Through OPAS’s Intimate Gatherings pro
gram, musicians participate in an open discussion
with audience members following their perfor
mance. This forum will be hosted by Peter Lewen,
the interim head of the Texas A&M Department
of Performance Studies.
During the forum, the audience will have the
opportunity to ask the performers about anything
from the music itself to the inspiration of the
Chamber Orchestra.
Emily Keappock, a member of MSC OPAS
and a sophomore general studies major, said this
is a truly unique experience.
The American Radio Chamber Orchestra is
great because you get to hear music by American
composers played by American musicians and get
your questions answered by the performers them
selves,” Keappock said.
The American Radio Chamber Orchestra will
be performing tonight at 8 at the George Bush Pres
idential Conference Center in Auditorium A.
