ABOUT “MULTIPIANO”:

“MultiPiano” is a unique keyboard project, presenting four of Israel’s virtuoso pianists in a celebration of pianos in ever-changing combinations – from one to four pianos, from 4 to 8 hands, with or without orchestra. The ensemble’s repertoire ranges from fully-fledged original masterworks to dazzling virtuoso arrangements.

Now in its fourth year, the ensemble has already performed on four continents, from Beijing Concert Hall to Buenos Aires’ Teatro Colon, from New-York’s Merkin Hall to London’s Henri Wood Hall, collaborating with such institutions as the English Chamber Orchestra, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, Buenos Aires Mozarteum Argentino and Conciertos Grapa, the Philharmonic Society of Lima, the music festivals of Taipei, Huallien, Ottawa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as well as on television and radio networks from Asia to South America.

The MultiPiano project was launched in the 2010-11 season under the umbrella of the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music – a joint institution of Tel Aviv University and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Featuring three of Israel`s most radiant young pianists and their mentor, Tomer Lev – one of the country’s most prominent musicians – the MultiPiano project attracted much international attention immediately upon its inauguration. In 2011 the group successfully toured the Far East, with performances in Beijing, Taipei, Kaohshiung and Tainan, including a Gala opening of the Kuandu Festival in Taiwan in cooperation with the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

In summer 2012 the group was presented throughout Latin America’s foremost concert halls in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Peru, including Teatro Colon and the Gran Rex (Buenos Aires), Teatro Del Sodre (Montevideo) and a live broadcast performance in Radio Nacional of Argentina, televised by PBS (TV Publica). Additional presentations included performances for the respected Mozarteum Argentino concert agency, The Philharmonic Society of Lima (opening concert of the Jubilee Festival), Sao Paulo Friends of Tel Aviv University, and concerts in Rosario and Cordoba.
Shortly thereafter the group performed for the second time in the Far East (Taipei and Hualien International Music Festival).

In spring of 2013 MultiPiano was presented at the Felicja Blumental Music Festival in Tel Aviv and the Israel Festival in Jerusalem, including solo performances with the Israel Chamber Orchestra (Bach-Vivaldi concerto for 4 pianos) and live broadcasts for Israel Radio (IBA). The Tel Aviv Soloists, Haifa Symphony and the Israel Netanya Kibbutz orchestras hosted MultiPiano for performances of Bach, Mozart, Poulenc and Levanon concerti for 2, 3 and 4 pianos. In addition, the ensemble had its third tour to the Far East (Beijing Concert Hall, Tienjin Grand Theatre, Chengdu Music Hall ).

In fall 2013 MultiPiano was presented in two North American tours, including performances at Merkin Hall in New York City, as well as in Montreal, Ottawa, and Chicago. The New York Times described their performance as “a celebration of Multi-hands and Multi-keyboards”.

In Spring 2014 the ensemble toured South America for the second time, as soloists with the Israel Netanya Kibbutz Chamber Orchestra, with concerts in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Lima and Bogota.
In Fall 2014 MultiPiano collaborated with the English Chamber Orchestra in a recording of Mozart Concertos for two and three pianos, as well as in a world premiere recording of Mozart’s “Larghetto and Allegro” – a 1781 fragment left unfinished and completed and orchestrated by Tomer Lev for two pianos and orchestra.

Biden addresses nationwide Floyd protests

Former vice president Joe Biden emphasized that the protests, coupled with the disproportionate impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on minority communities, highlight the need to address injustices. READ MORE: https://abcn.ws/371gdxa

Following a week of nationwide unrest and protests following the death of George Floyd, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president Joe Biden delivered an emotional speech Tuesday morning in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, condemning President Donald Trump, and addressing what he describes as a “wake-up call” for a country upended by racial upheaval.

“‘I can’t breathe.’ ‘I can’t breathe.’ George Floyd’s last words. But they didn’t die with him. They’re still being heard. They’re echoing across this nation,” Biden said.

Trumpist Hypocrisy

Trump supporters absolutely love to blame Obama for somehow “increasing division and racism”, or hanging his response to Trayvon and Ferguson and Alton Sterling and Eric Garner around his neck.

Does this presidential responsibility extend to Trump over the deaths of George Floyd? Oh no, that’s a blue state. How about Breonna Taylor in Kentucky? Oh no, they may have a Republican supermajority but they also have a Democratic governor. How about Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, with no Democrats in state power? Well, that was just Ahmaud’s fault, can’t blame a government for that.

But what can you expect in responsibility from the same rubes who believe that voting-by-mail and wearing a mask in public are unmanly and fraudulent?

What can you expect in good faith from those who believe that everyone is out to take their property and historical dominance away?

What can you expect from them except nonsense? Disinfo? Lies? Infections? Hatred? Authoritarianism? Gaslighting? Entitlement? Shibboleths? Anti-urbanism? Half-baked plots for civil war? Fully-baked plots to further disenfranchise Americans?

Same old shit, same old excuses, same as it ever was.

Talking Heads was right.

Men’s Rhythmic Gymnastics (MRG) is a sport that was invented in Japan about 70 years ago. There are two variants of the MRG, individual (the gymnast does a solo on one of four instruments) and teams that focus on tumbling, flexibility, balance and synchronization. Today, from junior clubs to top universities, about 2,000 male rhythmic gymnasts are active in Japan.
