About Eric Schwartz Eric Schwartz has studied composition at the Cleveland Institute of Music, New York University, and both the Interlochen and Aspen Summer Music Festivals. Past teachers have included Margaret Brouwer, Donald Erb, George Tsontakis, and Randy Woolf. Primarily interested in a synthesis of musical archetypes, Schwartz is always at work on a variety of genre bending projects. Formative influences include an amalgamation of the glam metal of the late 80's, and the baroque intellectualism of Arnold Schoenberg. His music has been performed at various venues throughout New York City, from The Knitting Factory to Merkin Concert Hall, as well as such far flung places as Bucharest, Romania and Thunder Bay, Ontario. He has received awards and grants from Meet the Composer, ASCAP, The Society for New Music, The Puffin Foundation, The Cleveland Chamber Symphony, and The Ohio Federation of College Music Clubs. Schwartz has served on the faculties of New York University, Hunter College, and the Lucy Moses Music School, and is the artistic director of the Brooklyn, NY based experimental music group Forecast Music (forecastmusic.org). He was recently appointed Resident Composer for the Los Angeles based Tonoi contemporary music ensemble's 2007-2008 season. His debut CD "24 Ways of Looking at a Piano", named one of the top classical CDs of 2005 by All Music Guide, is available now from Centaur Records (http://www.centaurrecords.com). His music is also available on Capstone Records, and Trace Label (France), and is published by Staunch Music (UK). After Ken's interview, we go over this week's listener comments.

OSU Winter Concert 2007

Ken Hedgecock — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 14:11:23 GMT

Our first concert of the new year! OSU Explores the planets with: Star Wars Theme Stardust Fly Me to the Moon Holst: The Planets Our guest soloist is local favorite: Jack Miller You may notice a few things about our version of "The Planets" you may not hear too often! Usual orchestral recordings will sort of "tone down" the dissonance in order to have their recording more widely accepted. Since we are a community orchestra, with no recording contract to honor, we clearly bring out the extremely close harmonies and dissonances that aren't heard in more commercial broadcasts. Plus we perform the piece closer to the original tempo markings. Thus we feel we have produced a recording of "The Planets" closer to what Gustav Holst initially imagined it to be. We also had an excellent 3-D animation of the concert done for us. For more information see: http://www.videoideas.com/planets
