| Applauded by Costa Rica's La Nacion as "lucid and penetrating, combining lyricism and rigor" and The Ann Arbor News for "crisp, incisive playing-with just the right quotient of sass," the Enso String Quartet is quickly becoming one of America's leading young ensembles. The Enso String Quartet draws together four young musicians from around the world. Its members hold degrees from The Juilliard School, Curtis Institute of Music, Indiana University, Royal Northern College of Music (UK) and the University of Canterbury (New Zealand). Themembers of the ensemble met while pursuing graduate degrees at Yale University, where they later worked with the Tokyo String Quartet. Other prominent musicians with whom the group has worked include members of the Cleveland quartet and composer Joan Tower. The quartet's performances have been broadcast on PBS, Chicago's WFMT and Canada¹s CBC radio. The ensemble's name, enso, is derived from the Japanese Zen painting of the circle which represents many things; perfection and imperfection, the moment of chaos that is creation, the emptiness of the void, the endless circle of life, and the fullness of the spirit. |
Internationally known composer Janika
Vandervelde has written more than 75 works
for orchestras, choirs, chamber ensembles,
soloists, and the stage. Twice a Bush Artist
Fellow and three times a McKnight Foundation
Composer Fellow, she has been honored with
the Boulanger Award of the Women's
Philharmonic in San Francisco. Ms. Vandervelde
has been commissioned by such organizations
as The Minnesota Orchestra, The Guthrie
Theater, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra,
the Minnesota Chorale, the Dale Warland
Singers, Ensemble Capriccio, and Zeitgeist,
among others; she is the subject of an essay by musicologist Susan McClary (in Feminine
Endings) and is profiled in the New Grove
Dictionary of Music (2nd ed.). Also a conductor
and pianist, she holds a doctorate in composition
(1985) from the University of Minnesota, where
her teachers included Eric Stokes and Dominick Argento. Recent projects include a new work
for the Melbourne Chamber Choir in Australia
to be premiered in 2004, and the recording of
her 45-minute choral fantasy, Adventures of
the Black Dot.

The Green Lake Festival of Music commissioned Monapacataca with funding from Linda and Jack Hoeschler and George Miller, with additional support from The Music in the Park Series, St. Paul, Minnesota. The natural beauty of the Green Lake area, including Mitchell's Glen, inspired the work. Thomas E. Caestecker sponsors this concert with additional support provided by Bloch's Farm. This presentation is supported by the Heartland Arts Fund, a program of Arts Midwest funded by the National Endowment for the Arts with additional contributions from General Mills Foundation, Land O'Lakes Foundation, Sprint Corporation, and the Wisconsin Arts Board. The Wisconsin Arts Board also provides support for this concert with funds from the state of Wisconsin. Additional promotional support is provided by Wisconsin Public Radio.
"Music of Our Time: Challenges & Opportunities", a free pre-concert discussion with WPR's Lori Skelton, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel music critic Tom Strini, composer Janika Vandervelde, and musicians from the Amelia Piano Trio and Enso String Quartet, will start at 4 p.m. at the Rodman Center. |
