Bemidji Symphony Orchestra presents the concert "Chance Chants."
The Bemidji Symphony Orchestra (BSO) opens its 79th season, "Role Play," with the concert "Chance Chants" on Sunday, October 8, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. at the Bemidji High School Auditorium. Dr. Beverly Everett conducts.
The BSO is pleased to welcome to the stage the young piano virtuoso Matthew Lorenz to perform Franz Liszt's "Totentanz," a symphonic poem based on the chant "Dies Irae." Also on the program are "Berceuse and Finale" from Firebird by Igor Stravinsky and Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz.
Matthew Lorenz of Grand Forks, ND is a growing artistic presence in his community and in the Midwest at large. He is a fourth-year student at UND studying piano performance with Dr. Nariaki Sugiura (as well as pursuing a second degree in mathematics). He made his performing debut as a sophomore (with UND faculty) in the US premiere of Eliezer Elpers Concerto for Piano, Trumpet, and Flute.
Whether through a University master class setting or elsewhere, Matthew has received training from pianists such as Edward Auer (Indiana University), Lydia Artymiw (University of Minnesota), Jani Parsons (Latitude 49 ensemble, MI), Takeo Tchinai (Japan), Yoonie Han (Steinway Artist, NY), Mihaela Tomi (Mannheim, Germany), Ning-Wu Du (Xinghai Conservatory, China), Laura Loewen (University of Manitoba), and others. He has collaborated with a variety of musicians, including the award-winning San Francisco Bay Area pianist Sarah Cahill. At the fresh inc. festival, hosted by the Fifth House Ensemble in Kenosha, WI, he engaged with other young performers and composers of contemporary music.
A classically trained pianist, Matthews background in pianistic technique and performance informs his performances of contemporary and experimental music. In addition to his interest in pursuing music as performance, Matthew also pursues music as a study of human endeavor and cultural phenomenon. He informs his studies with such outside disciplines as mathematics, philosophy, and Russian literature.
