SUMMARY:Nicolas Prost\, saxophone & Sébastien Paindestre\, piano
DESCRIPTION:Washington International Young Artists Music Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGoodson Chapel – Recital Hall \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorder Jazz\n\n\n\nKnown for their electrifying performances and adventurous programming\, internationally acclaimed saxophonist Nicolas Prost and pianist Sébastien Paindestre present Border Jazz\, a program that pushes the boundaries of their instruments with dazzling technique and expressive depth. Featuring a vibrant mix of classical works and contemporary pieces\, this concert promises a thrilling journey through the versatility of the modern saxophone and jazz piano. \n\n\n\n“At the Border of Jazz” brings together classical concert artist Nicolas Prost and jazz musician Sébastien Paindestre in a bold and innovative collaboration. The program explores a richly imagined dialogue between classical and jazz traditions — blending refined\, composed works with openness to improvisation. \n\n\n\nPresented exclusively by this duo\, the repertoire consists entirely of works written specifically for Nicolas Prost and Sébastien Paindestre during their international tours across Europe\, the United States and Japan. The composers — among them Wayne Shorter\, Branford Marsalis\, Chris Potter\, Bob Mintzer\, James Carter\, Paquito D’Rivera\, Brad Mehldau\, John McLaughlin\, Dave Liebman\, Ibrahim Maalouf\, John Patitucci\, John Helliwell\, Bojan Z\, Daniel Humair\, Anne Paceo\, Baptiste Herbin\, Michel Portal\, Baptiste Trotignon\, Henri Texier\, Alban Darche\, Airelle Besson\, Céline Bonacina\, Pierrick Pédron\, Avishai Cohen\, Franck Tortiller\, François Jeanneau\, Riccardo Del Fra\, Dave Schroeder\, Nguyen Lê\, Laurent de Wilde\, Philippe Portejoie\, Olivier Calmel\, Stéphane Colin\, Rich Shemaria\, Leïla Olivesi\, Claude Barthélemy and Sébastien Paindestre — are leading voices in jazz and popular music who were invited to compose in a “classical” style. \n\n\n\nThese internationally recognized artists create a compelling fusion of musical worlds\, drawing new audiences through the interplay of genres — much like Gershwin and Bernstein in the twentieth century. In addition to these world premieres\, the program includes works from the chamber music repertoire reimagined in this hybrid style\, with composers such as Phil Woods\, Michel Petrucciani\, Tony Murena\, Chick Corea\, John Zorn and Radiohead. \n\n\n\n\nDigital Program\n\n\n\nShenandoah Conservatory uses digital programs for all performances.

Robblee\, Artistic Director & Conductor \n\n\n\nMusic without Borders\n\n\n\nA powerful evening of music shaped by history\, displacement and artistic resilience begins with Kurt Weill’s Kleine Dreigroschenmusik\, a spirited suite drawn from The Threepenny Opera that blends cabaret flair with biting satire from a German émigré who became an American icon. The program continues with Gustav Holst’s majestic “Jupiter” from The Planets\, a work of sweeping grandeur by a British composer of German descent who changed his name during World War I amid rising anti-German sentiment. \n\n\n\nOffering a contemporary perspective\, Hymn of the Fallen by Erik Ruane ’27 (Bachelor of Music in Composition)\, winner of the 2025 William Averitt Prize for Excellence in Composition\, reflects on themes of loss and remembrance. The evening culminates in Paul Hindemith’s Symphony in B-flat for Band\, a cornerstone of the wind repertoire composed after Hindemith fled Nazi Germany for the United States. \n\n\n\nTogether\, these works form a compelling tribute to the enduring power of music across borders\, eras and identities. \n\n\n\n\nDigital Program\n\n\n\nShenandoah Conservatory uses digital programs for all performances.

Highlights include Prayer for solo clarinet by Kinan Azmeh\, the haunting Lamentation of the Bird and Remembrance for clarinet and piano by guest composer Polina Nazaykinskaya\, and Afilador by Andrea Casarrubios for clarinet and strings. Nazaykinskaya’s powerful Haim\, scored for narrator\, clarinet\, piano and string quartet\, weaves spoken word and music into a deeply human meditation\, while Sergei Prokofiev’s spirited Overture on Hebrew Themes adds a vibrant\, folkloric energy and rhythmic drive to the evening’s sweeping emotional landscape. \n\n\n\n“Intensity… it is all around us… in our lives… in the world… everywhere.” This concert embraces that conviction — music performed with utter commitment and fearless expression.

Featuring internationally acclaimed musicians from the celebrated Volterra Project\, this dynamic ensemble brings together the rich sounds of the guitar in an evening of imaginative and genre-spanning chamber music. With a program that blends classical tradition with contemporary flair\, the trio promises a performance that is both intimate and exhilarating. \n\n\n\nFascinated by the storytelling power of the classical guitar\, the Volterra Project Trio explores narration without words. \n\n\n\nWith their new album Parole in Musica\, Antigoni Goni\, Luca Isolani and Maarten Vandenbemden bring their full range of color and expression to a program of music inspired by stories from stage\, screen and literature\, beginning with Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet retold through Leonard Bernstein’s brilliant score as a tragedy on the streets of New York’s West Side\, and ending with Grieg’s incidental music to scenes from the exotic travels of Ibsen’s antihero Peer Gynt. Along the way\, we hear Luca Isolani’s own Note fuori campo (a homage to Nino Rota)\, the enchanted world of children’s stories brought to life in Ravel’s Mother Goose suite\, and two songs from Pornography\, a provocative musical by the Greek cultural icon — and iconoclast — Manos Hadjidakis. \n\n\n\nRecorded by British sound engineer John Taylor and distributed by NAXOS records\, Parole in Musica was released on all streaming platforms in May 2025. \n\n\n\nThis performance is presented in partnership with Marlow Guitar International. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDigital Program\n\n\n\nShenandoah Conservatory uses digital programs for all performances.
