    logo_SIFFSedona AZ (December 20, 2016) – Chamber Music Sedona and the Sedona International Film Festival will join hands Wednesday, January 4 at 4 pm for the screening of “I Know I Played Every Note” a documentary detailing the early career of violinist Itzhak Perlman at the Mary D. Fisher Theater, 2030 W SR 89A in West Sedona. The screening will be hosted by Winter Music Festival cellist Nicholas Canellakis and clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein along with CMS artistic director Bert Harclerode.

    20161220_itzhak-perlman-by-lisa-marie-mazzucco-1Indisputably the reigning virtuoso of the violin, Itzhak Perlman enjoys superstar status rarely afforded a classical musician. Perlman is recognized for his humility, sense of humor and down to earth qualities as demonstrated during his appearances, on-line interviews and more. His charm and humanity is cherished by audiences worldwide from Aspen to Flagstaff to Beijing.

    Born in Israel in 1945 where he began his music training at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv, his family moved to New York where the young Itzhak made a life-changing appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. His studies at the Juilliard School with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay helped to establish his worldwide career that has led to performances with nearly every major orchestra and festival around the world. Perlman fell in love with the sounds of the violin at age three and a half but contracted polio a few months later and soon learned that it would be impossible, with his handicap, to pursue a high-level career as a violinist.

    “Not only has he (Perlman) succeeded in doing what the world thought quite impossible but he has done it on a level that few have matched” stated cinematographer Christopher Nupen who captured Perlman’s combination of portrait and performance in his documentary Itzhak Perlman, I Know I Played Every Note that focuses on the artist with a compelling look at the formative years of one of the most extraordinary musical careers of our time and the triumph of character, talent and tenacity over seemingly insurmountable odds: a must for every classical music fan.

    A major presence internationally, Itzhak Perlman has been honored with four Emmy Awards. Mr. Perlman’s third Emmy recognized his dedication to Klezmer music, as profiled in the 1995 PBS television special In the Fiddler’s House, which was filmed in Poland and featured him performing with four of the world’s finest Klezmer bands. Perlman’s solo performance of The Theme on the soundtrack of Steven Spielberg’s film Schindler’s List composed by John William’s is one of the most recognized contemporary film scores. Over the years Mr. Perlman has become more actively involved in educational activities teaching at the Perlman Music Program each summer since it was founded and currently holds the Dorothy Richard Starling Foundation Chair at the Juilliard School.

    “I’m honored to have worked with Mr. Perlman on several occasions,” reflected CMS’ Harclerode. “First in Aspen, and then again at the annual Chamber Music America conference in NYC.  Mr. Canellakis, on the other hand in his series Conversations with Nick, did a recent interview with Perlman, that, tongue-in-cheek, shares a side of Mr. Perlman that not many know – a playful individual whose sense of humor comes alive. Canellakis has engaged other artists of the highest order in his series including Emanuel Ax, Leon Fleisher and the Emerson Quartet – all in good humor. You don’t keep this kind of company unless you’re all in it for fun,” said Harclerode.

    “If ever there was a story of character and determination triumphing over serious adversity, and producing glorious results along the way, it is the story of Itzhak and Toby Perlman,” said Nupen. The documentary includes memorable performances from Perlman of two Partitas by J.S. Bach – the Partita in E major, BWV 1006 and in D minor, BWV 1004 which ends with the great Chaconne, shot live at a BBC concert in St John’s Smith Square, London in 1977.

    Recently Perlman was the surprise guest at the matinee performance of ‘Oh, Hell on Broadway’ starring Nick Kroll (Comedy Central’s “Kroll Show”) and John Mulaney (Netflix’s “The Comeback Kid”), on November 26, 2016. The appearance marked Perlman’s Broadway theater debut and showcased his comedic talents. He joins another notable guests including Tina Fey, Katie Couric, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Stephen Colbert and Alan Alda who have appeared in the ‘Too Much Tuna’ segment during performances at the Lyceum Theater on Broadway. Oh, Hello stars Nick and John as their wildly popular alter egos, Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland – outrageously opinionated, 70-something, native New Yorkers that Kroll and Mulaney first began performing on the alt-comedy stages in NYC. Honed for well over a decade, the duo garnered a cult following as they found their way onto a Comedy Central special, viral videos and late night couches everywhere.

    “I Know I Played Every Note” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, Jan. 4 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $9 for SIFF and CMS members, and $12 for the general public and may be purchased by calling SIFF at 928.282.1177 or on-line at www.sedonafilmfestival.org.  For additional information on the 4th Sedona Winter Music Festival January 3rd to 8th visit www.ChamberMusicSedona.org or call 928.204.2415.

     THE MOMENT IS UPON US

    Dear Sedona,

    The moment is upon us. The time for a united effort to shift the focus back to our community is now.

    The ability to thrive in our community, our environment, our workforce, and the tourist industry, is entirely possible because we have all the resources needed for success.

    Still, we need a council that isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, that makes decisions based on data and facts, and through discussion, rather than moving and voting in group unison as they so regularly do.

    This is my home. I have been a part of the Sedona community for 28 years. I witnessed the road debacle, the lack of planning, the city circumventing the local businesses ability to thrive, while making choices to expand the local government and be in direct competition with private industry.

    I am a unique candidate because unlike the incumbents, I don’t believe the government should expand in size, nor in operations, nor would I attempt to micromanage every aspect of our community.

    City government should stay in its lane and allow the competitive market of local private industry to prosper. And it should defend our community from corporate takeover and infiltration of our town.

    I do not agree that we should sign onto International Building Codes and regulations by signing Sedona up to the ICC. It is imperative that we remain a sweet, rural community.

    Where are the arts? Where is this organic thriving element that we allege to be animated by. Where is our culture? Where is our community?

    The discord between the decision making process and the desires of the community have never been more clear. It has been nearly a decade in the making.

    It is time for a new era of energy to take charge. An energy that is reflective in the ability to succeed rather than be trapped in out of date consciousness.

    It has been a great honor meeting with each of you. I hear your concerns over the insane and out of control spending and I echo them. A budget of $105,000,000 in a town of 9700 residents is completely unacceptable. A parking structure (that looks like a shoe box) originally slated to cost 11 million, now projected to cost 18 million, is incomprehensible. Especially, considering there is no intention of charging for parking.

    For those who are concerned that I lack the political experience within our established system- that is precisely what Sedona needs… Not another politician, but instead a person who understands people, who listens to the voices within the community, and who will act in service on their behalf with accountability, for the highest good of Sedona. What I am not, will prove to be an asset as I navigate the entrenched bureaucracy with a fresh perspective. Business as usual, is over.

    Creative solutions require new energy.

    Every decision that is made by our local government, must contemplate Sedona first.

    • Does this decision benefit the residents?
    • Does this decision benefit the local businesses?
    • Does this decision actually help the environment?
    • Will this decision sustain benefit in the future, or will it bring more problems?

    What we have now is a city government that expands to 165 employees for 9700 residents. Palm Desert has 53,000 residents and 119 city employees. Majority of our city department heads are not even in town. I find this problematic.

    Efforts towards championing in and courting new solutions for our medical needs are imperative. We are losing our doctors. We must encourage competition with other facilities rather than be held hostage by NAH, who clearly have their own set of dysfunctions.

    We must remember that so many move to Sedona for its beauty, hiking, and small town charm. Bigger, faster, and more concrete does not, in broad strokes, fit the ethos of Sedona.

    The old world must remain strong here in balance, as that is what visitors want to experience. Too many have noted that Sedona has lost its edge and charm.

    As Mayor I will preserve the rural charm of our community, and push back against the urbanization that is planned for Sedona.

    As mayor I will make it a priority to create opportunities to support our youth.  After school healthy, enriching programs should be created for our kids, and available to the Sedona workforce regardless of residency and regardless of school they belong to.

    As Mayor, I will create an agenda to deliberately embody the consciousness of our collective needs here, allowing private industry to meet the needs of our community rather than bigger government.

    I hope to have your vote on Aug 2nd. I am excited and have the energy to take on this leadership role with new eyes, community perspective, and the thoughtful consciousness that reflects all ages of the human spectrum.

    Thank you deeply for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Samaire Armstrong


    Heads or Tails
    By Tommy Acosta
    Let’s face it. I love conspiracy theories. The more far-out the better. Yup. I’m one of those. Looking at the Trump raid fiasco there can only be two theories that I see fit perfectly into the scenario that’s being weaved for public consumption. The first is that what is happening is actually being engineered by the forces that want Trump to return to the White House. Just like with the Russia-Russia thing, what is going to happen after all the hoopla,Trump will be found completely innocent just like before and he will be loved even more by his fans and followers. Those who tried to put him down will be chagrinned while those who supported him politically will be exalted. Republicans will be revived, and they will go out and vote in a new Congress and Trump will rule once again. Then there is the other side of the coin. Read more→
