2021-05-01 18:00 - 20:00 | Online broadcast at svmusicfestival.org
Performance is an integral part of the education programs offered at the Sun Valley Music Festival’s Music Institute. Students not only prepare for informal departmental recitals but also participate in juried adjudications and regional and state competitions. The academic year culminates with the Institute’s Honors Recital, where students audition for a chance to perform. Usually open to the public, this year’s recital took place on May 1 to a small in-person audience in Hailey, Idaho—the first live audience the education programs have been able to host in over a year. The concert concluded with the Carol Nie Outstanding Music Student Award, where one exceptional student was presented scholarship funds to help them continue their musical pursuits.

Please enjoy the broadcast presentation and join the Festival in celebrating the achievements of these outstanding young musicians:

Bach
Cello Suite No. 6 in D Major, BWV 1012
Amos Yang, Cello

Explore the grandeur, complexity, and lively harmonies within one of classical music’s most iconic and profound works, Bach’s Sixth Cello Suite, for the next Festival @ Home performance. Although Bach’s suites are now considered by many to be the most significant works in the solo cello repertoire, they languished in quiet obscurity for over 150 years. In 1890, cello virtuoso Pablo Casals discovered tattered copies of the suites at a second-hand shop in Barcelona. His appreciation for them grew as he studied them, leading to his seminal audio recordings in 1936, which paved the way for their current fame.
Tune in for the premiere on Tuesday, March 16 at 6:30 PM MT (or on demand for 48 hours afterward) on the Festival website, YouTube channel (youtube.com/c/SunValleyMusicFestival), and Facebook page (facebook.com/SunValleyMusicFestival). Don’t miss this all-new performance of an eminent piece for solo cello, performed by Sun Valley favorite, Principal Cello Amos Yang, from the beautiful Kohl Mansion near San Francisco, CA.

Festival @ Home—Upbeat with Alasdair: The Big Picture

Exploring classical music and the human condition
Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art? Thinkers since Aristotle have passionately debated these questions, and it’s clear that art and the human condition are deeply intertwined. This installment of the Festival @ Home series of online broadcasts explores this connection with an Upbeat with Alasdair talk titled The Big Picture.
The admission-free event will offer viewers an engaging perspective on the role that classical music plays in our psyche and motivations, through unique insight and excerpts from classical music’s most profound works. Here’s how to attend:
Watch here, on the Festival’s website (svmusicfestival.org), YouTube Channel (youtube.com/c/SunValleyMusicFestival), or from The Community Library website (livestream.com/comlib) beginning February 9 at 6:30 PM (MT). The broadcast will also be archived so you may watch anytime or share it with others. Attend live on opening night to participate in Q & A with Alasdair Neale.

Mozart
String Quintet No. 4 in G Minor, K. 516

About the piece
The key of G Minor was, for Mozart, clearly a home for dark and melancholy moods. It’s the key in The Magic Flute in which Pamina sings:
Ah, I can feel it, love’s happiness
is fled forever!
See, Tamino, these tears
flow for you alone, beloved.
If you do not feel love’s yearning,
I shall find peace in death
Writing about the third movement of Mozart’s G Minor quintet, Petyr Tchaikovsky said “No one has ever known as well how to interpret so exquisitely in music the sense of resigned and inconsolable sorrow.” However, before you think all is doom and gloom, you should know that there’s quite a surprise at the end. Not to spoil it, but the mood definitely changes. Offering his thoughts, Music Director Alasdair Neale says “In a crowded field, it is one of Mozart’s greatest achievements, filled with pathos and joy, tenderness and turmoil.”

2020 Honors Recital
2020-05-29 16:30 - 21:32
Join the Sun Valley Music Festival in honoring outstanding year-round students of the Music Institute! The annual Honors Recital is an opportunity for these young musicians to demonstrate their abilities, formed through countless hours of hard work, to a live audience. Students audition to participate and are selected by a panel of faculty members. Those chosen this year perform a variety of short works for strings, piano, and voice, including eclectic selections from Bach, Rachmaninoff, Marcello, and more.
And this year—instead of performing live at the Community Campus in Hailey—their performances have been recorded from “living room concert halls” across the Wood River Valley to share with you online on the Festival website. Before you grab your refreshments and sink into your couch to enjoy the show, check out the program (provided below). Be sure to stick around to the end, when one student will be awarded the Carol Nie Outstanding Music Student Award for their exemplary study and performance. And when you see these young virtuosos in the community—or if you feel so inclined to share on social media—give them a giant round of applause!
