Casa Italiana Zerilli—Marimò at NYUVariations on the Quartet | Casa Italiana Zerilli—Marimò at NYUExplore hundreds of free public events throughout the academic year related to Italian culture, produced and hosted by Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò at NYU.

Grateful for this last run of @triofadolin shows in Long Island, at Columbia University and at TheLocal in Saugerties. We are lucky to do what we do, to explore a very special slice of repertoire, and to be supported by venues and friends in the City and out.

We'll have one short show in the middle of May, and then five opportunities to see us in June -- so we'll see you soon!

See you out there!

Are there any string quartets out there interested in a paid assignment to record a string quartet of about five minutes duration on a smart phone? The music is roughly Grade 7-8 and designed to be great to play and great to listen to. If so please contact me for more details. I am interested in something quirky like recording location, country or special about the players than advanced musicianship (although great musicians can also contact me!). Thanks. #stringquartet #classicalmusic #chambermusic #musician #violin #violinist #ViolaPlayer #cello #cellist

How beautiful is this setting?

This Sunday at 3pm, Trio Fadolín makes our debut at the Concerts by the Pond series in Cold Spring Harbor, playing folk music from Armenia and Central Asia, as well as pieces by Barvinsky and our fadolínist Ljova --- and when they say "by the pond", this is the place!
We have a couple of discount codes - PM us directly.

See you!

A couple of weeks ago @triofadolin brought this very varied globe-trotting program to Greenwich House, by Washington Square Park -- this Sunday at 3pm we're playing some of it, plus music by Tashkent-based composer Dmitry Yanov-Yanovsky, and Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks (almost certainly a US premiere), to the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church's concert series. Join us! trio.fadolin.com

Tomorrow at noon, Corrie Hermann will speak to the #EuropeanParliament about her father, brilliant #cellist and excellent #composer Pál Hermann. He fought the Nazis in the French 23rd Marching Regiment of Foreign Volunteers, was arrested in Toulouse and taken away never to return. His music will be performed tomorrow by Dimitri Malignan and Sam Lucas, who will perform on Hermann's original Gagliano cello.

Frieda Belinfante (1904-1995) was an openly homosexual Dutch cellist & conductor of Jewish descent. During the War, Belinfante joined the same resistance movement as Willem Arondeus and other Dutch homosexuals & artists specializing in forging false identity papers & helping those wanted by the Gestapo into hiding. Belinfonte aided in organizing the 1943 bombiing of the Population Registry in Amsterdam. After the perpetrators were turned in by an unknown informant Belinfante fled Holland, dressed as a man, through Belgium & France to Switzerland. Once the war ended she was able to continue her musical career.

"The album title — ‘Immunity' — reflected the 'experience of Covid and wanting to be immune from this,' as well as the idea that the world is interconnected and people need to depend on each other.

“'I am trying to really remind myself that you don’t know what comes later,' he said. 'Now is all you ever have.’”

The New York Times · A Virtuoso Cellist’s Painstaking Path From Long Covid Back to the StageBy Pam Belluck

Cello-playing climate activist arrested at New York Citibank protest as crackdown escalates

Second activist also arrested during ‘summer of heat’ 🔸protest against second largest #financier of #fossil #fuels🔸

A 63-year-old climate activist and professional #cellist faces up to
💥seven years in prison 💥after being arrested on Thursday while performing a Bach solo outside the headquarters of ♦️one of the world’s largest fossil fuel financiers, #Citibank ♦️in downtown New York.

John Mark #Rozendaal, an adjunct music instructor at Princeton university
and Alec #Connon, director of the climate nonprofit group
"Stop the Money Pipeline",
were arrested for criminal contempt in the public park at the bank’s global headquarters
as the crackdown against #nonviolent #climate #protesters escalates.

Rozendaal was handcuffed and led away to the police vehicle singing “we are not afraid,
we are not afraid,
we will sing for liberation
because we know why we were made”.
The crowd of protesters chanted “let him play” and
“shame on you Citibank”.

Thirteen other climate activists,
who had linked arms in a circle around Rozendaal to protect him
as he played Bach’s suites for cello,
were detained for alleged "obstruction of governmental administration",
a misdemeanor criminal charge.

“People are dying … today is my birthday,”
said Mike Bucci, 77, teary eyed as the police in riot gear broke up the protest.
♦️Since 10 June, climate activists have been peacefully protesting against Citibank’s record financial support for new fossil fuel projects as part of the
⭐️ "Summer of Heat on Wall Street"⭐️campaign.

At least 3,700 people have participated in the nonviolent civil disobedience,
repeatedly blockading the entrance to its global headquarters.

More than 475 people including faith leaders, scientists and elders
have been arrested while calling on Citi to ✨stop bankrolling new coal, oil and gas.✨

Citi is the second largest financier of fossil fuels
and the largest financier of fossil fuel expansion since the 2015 Paris climate agreement,
according to the latest Banking on Climate Chaos report.

The latest arrests come as climate advocates accuse Citibank and the NYPD of
coordinated and escalating efforts to suppress nonviolent protests
in retaliation for drawing attention to the banking giant’s key role in funding fossil projects globally.
