A blend of Yiddish and American idioms, Kelzmer music became widely known in the 1800's. But by the 1940's, it's popularity had waned. A revival began in the 1970's, and the KCB was formed in 1980 by Hankus Netsky. For it's first decade, the KCB toured coast to coast. It finally headed abroad in 1990, staging several concerts in Germany and playing the first ever International Yiddish Festival in Krakov, Poland. Described as alternately 'saucy' and 'virtuosic,' the KCB, now a 10-piece band, has appeared several times on Minnesota Public Radio's "A Prairie Home Companion" and has also performed on PBS with Itzhak Perlman. The KCB has numerous widely-distributed discs under it's belt, including releases on the revered Vanguard and Rounder folk labels.

Boston Musica Viva, Somerville

Music Director Richard Pittman founded Boston Musica Viva in 1969 as the first professional ensemble in Boston devoted to contemporary music. Through the years, BMV has become one of the most highly respected ensembles of its kind, with an international reputation for innovation and excellence. Andrea Musso of the Corriere di Torino praised the superb versatility of the ensemble, and Tim Page of The New York Times wrote that BMV is justly celebrated as one of the finest new music ensembles in the United States.BMV is dedicated to presenting the ever-evolving music of our time, performed by musicians who play with virtuosic precision and passionate involvement. Its mission is to broaden experience, knowledge, and enjoyment of every style of new music by embracing the full range of todays compositional activity and giving voice to music that might otherwise not be heard. BMVs commissioning program has brought into being essential new works for young audiences, and an intriguing spectrum of music for chamber ensemble, opera, music theater, and multimedia. The strength of premiere performances by the ensemble has helped many pieces enter the modern repertoire. BMV is particularly proud to have been an early champion of composers such as Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, John Harbison, Joseph Schwantner and Steven Stucky, each of whom later went on to win the Pulitzer Prize. BMV is unique in its consistent support of composers of challenging music, assuring that their works will receive top-level premieres. With rare exception, a new work, often by an American composer, is premiered at each concert. In its 40-year history, BMV has performed more than 592 works by 244 composers. These include 154 works written specifically for BMV, 169 world premieres, and 75 Boston premieres. In addition to its four-concert season in Boston, BMV has presented programs throughout the United States and Europe. In March of 2010, BMV will make its ninth trip to Europe to perform three concerts of music by American composers at Kings Place, a new concert hall in London. Domestic tours have brought the ensemble to Lincoln Center, the Library of Congress, Carnegie Recital Hall, the 92nd Street Y, Tanglewood, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Michigan, and numerous other concert halls, colleges, and universities. BMV has toured Europe eight times, most recently by invitation to the Settembre Musica Festival in Turin, Italy. BMV has recorded for Albany, Neuma, Delos, CRI, Nonesuch, Newport Classic and Northeastern Records.

Thayer Symphony Orchestra Today Thayer Symphony Orchestra is quite simply one of the finest ensembles of its kind, strictly first rate. Whether playing symphonic or opera repertoire, they are really skilled and play in an uplifting manner. Toshimasa Francis Wada deserves great credit for this marvelous orchestra.Now entering its 36th Season, Thayer Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1974 in South Lancaster by Dr. Jon Robertson as the Thayer Conservatory Orchestra. From its inception as a community orchestra providing professional, community volunteer and student musicians the opportunity to perform to its current role as one of the last full season orchestras in New England, the TSO has maintained its core mission to "sustain and develop a symphony orchestra of the highest quality for the education, enrichment and pleasure of the citizens and musicians of Central Massachusetts.In 1983, Maestro Toshimasa Francis Wada was invited to become Music Director and Conductor. As a result of his talented leadership every aspect of the organization has grown and prospered ; and under his baton, TSO has received wide critical acclaim. As a direct result of our phenomenal growth, in 2000 TSOs performance venue was moved to the state-of-the-art Stratos Dukakis Performing Arts Center at Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School in Fitchburg. At the same time, TSOs administrative offices relocated from South Lancaster to a first class suite of offices and classrooms located in the Woodblock building in downtown Leominster. Our dynamic performing arts institution is an independent, non-profit cultural organization that does not receive major support from any one source. TSO is a non-profit governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representing the very best our many communities have to offer. The TSO and its music education component, the Community Music School, is fast becoming the regions most comprehensive music organization. The many interests who make up the TSO and CMS include the Friends of TSO, who augment our fund-raising activities and assist our professional staff. Thayer Symphony Orchestra continues to be in demand for special event performances. Over the years, TSO has performed concerts celebrating the opening of the National Plastics Center and Museum, the restoration of Clintons Town Hall, benefits for the St. Vincents Hospital Guild, annual performances to benefit Our Fathers House in Fitchburg, and appearances at Bostons Symphony Hall and Worcesters Mechanics Hall with renowned soprano Aprile Millo to benefit St. Bernards Central Catholic High School. Most recently TSO has performed for such corporations as Hanover Insurance Group featuring soprano Maria Ferrante and Ida Zecco and for civic events at Devens, MA. Last September TSO performed for the 5th Anniversary of 9/11 to benefit the On-Site Academy in Gardner. TSO as well as small ensembles from TSO are available for hire in the entire New England States. Thayer Symphony Orchestra has been recognized by the Massachusetts Cultural Council as a leader in enriching the cultural life of the Commonwealth. TSO was one of only twenty-nine organizations awarded this special recognition and is one of only eight to receive this distinction two years in a row. In 2005 Maestro Wada received the Visions Award for outstanding leadership in the cultural community of Central Massachusetts presented by the Telegram and Gazette. Thayer Symphony Orchestra has proudly provided cultural enrichment to this region for 36 years. As we celebrate our thirty-sixth season, our commitment to enhancing the quality of life in the communities we serve only grows stronger. TSO welcomes new summer home to perform at the Brooks Pond Summer Concert Series in Leominster, Massachusetts.
