His CDs 'Soundscapes I, II and III' published by the classical label GENUIN received excellent reviews and established Rainer Stegmann as a globally respected interpreter of contemporary music. Rainer Stegmann has been active in composition since his youth. His teacher at the Frankfurt University of Music was Prof. Jürgen Blume. After that, he continued his autodidactically training, but also in courses, e.g. with Leo Brouwer. In his compositions, he often mixes different musical styles.

The Business of Managing Classical Musicians | Music and Musicians Around the Globe

The Business of Managing Classical Musicians | Music and Musicians Around the Globe

Hosted by Chris Ka Long Au, this episode features Jack Price, formerly known as Dickran Altamian. Want to know how this current music industry is going? Look and listen no further! The indomitable JACK PRICE, the artist formerly known as Atamian, began his career in artist management in 1984 in response to his own career as an internationally renowned and celebrated concert pianist. Jack took on the role as manager for Dickran Atamian, the pianist, who knew the toils of self-management would require a ubiquitous trade name. After taking over Atamian's career, (a career that began with winning 1st prize at the 50th Anniversary Naumburg Competitions (50th Anniversary Celebration, October 21, 2025)@ Carnegie Hall, a landmark Carnegie Hall Recital, several Lincoln Center and Town Hall appearances, the first-ever digital piano recording release on RCA Red Seal (and incidentally, performing the only triple world-premiere [Carnegie Hall (Live), RCA (Recording) and PBS (TV)] in musical history of a major musical cornerstone work, the solo piano version of "The Rite of Spring") Jack was successful in garnering hundreds of orchestral engagements (which included concerto performances with Maazel, Comissiona, Leinsdorf, Zinman, Rozsnyai, Samuel, Schwarz, Hendl, DePreist, Meier, Nowak, Amram, de Coteau, Rivest, Torkanowsky, McGlaughlin, Morgan, Alessandro, Hovhaness, Semkow, Falletta and Mata to name a few) and two commercial recordings on Delos for Atamian. Artists that he has worked with closely include, Bolet, Arrau, Serkin, Romero, Mintz, Tree, Mannheimer, Mann, Brendel, Kim, Olevsky and Tortelier. His relentless and persuasive management style (evident in his playing) soon attracted other artists, mainly music directors, who also wanted a more assertive manager. Jack Price has become synonymous with true service to artists through hands on and highly-personalized artist management. Jack stresses to his clients the importance of market branding, decision-maker consideration and development of distinct career milestones that set artists apart from the pack. Jack is a devoted father of two and resides in Tulsa, Oklahoma. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you for joining us today and throughout the season!

Artist Portrait and Interview with Sound Espressivo Judge Donna Weng Friedman

Pianist Donna Weng Friedman speaks with the program host Anna Ouspenskaya about Donna’s pandemic EP which will be released on May 1, 2021 in support of AAPI community during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Musical selections: 8:19 Chopin - Waltz in C-sharp minor 29:57 Chinary Ung - Space Between the Fish and the Moon Press release. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Heritage and Harmony: Silver Linings, an Album Spotlighting Music by Under- Represented Composers, Will Be Released on May 1st New EP Featuring AAPI/BIPOC Artists Aims to Promote Understanding and Tolerance and Combat Racism New York, NY—April 26, 2021 On May 1st, pianist and music producer Donna Weng Friedman will be releasing the EP album Heritage and Harmony: Silver Linings. The album, which will be available on Spotify, Amazon, Tidal and other online outlets, is intended as a response to the wave of violence against Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) individuals, and aims to promote understanding and tolerance among people of all backgrounds. It features Ms. Weng Friedman and soprano Indira Mahajan performing music by composers Margaret Bonds, Beata Moon, Florence B. Price, and Chinary Ung. The performers and composers are all members of the AAPI and/or BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) communities. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/donnawengfriedman/heritage-and-harmony-silver-linings The album’s release date is timed to coincide with the start of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. “I am an Asian American concert pianist, and like so many of us, my heart aches from the ongoing hate crimes against our AAPI community,” says Ms. Weng Friedman. “Each piece on this EP album helped get me through the pandemic year, which started with my being assaulted on the street of New York City for being Asian, and ended with my entire family getting sick with COVID-19.” All proceeds from the album will be donated to the Korean American Community Foundation (KACF) an organization that supports the AAPI community through philanthropy and education. “The KAFC is committed to fighting for diversity, equity and inclusion, and will not tolerate racism on any level,” notes Ms. Weng Friedman. “I learned an incredible amount from their virtual information sessions, talks and panels over the last year.” She adds, “My hope is that this album will resonate with people of all ethnicities who are looking for a way to help support our AAPI community. By listening to each track on Heritage and Harmony: Silver Linings, they can enjoy the glorious music of incredible but under-represented BIPOC composers and musicians while also making a small but valuable contribution to the AAPI community.” For more information, contact: Donna Weng Friedman donnawengfriedman@gmail.com
