Hilton Head Art Festival on Memorial Day Weekend

May 18, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

An exciting new juried fine art show will debut Memorial Day weekend at Shelter Cove Harbour on Hilton Head Island, S.C.

The Hilton Head Art Festival at Shelter Cove Harbour will take place May 23 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and May 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.

This two-day event brings together an eclectic mix of the nation’s most talented artists, as well as leading local and regional artists, who will collectively display over $15 million in artwork. The artists were juried by an independent panel of expert judges and hand-selected from hundreds of applicants based on quality and diversity. All of the artwork on display is original and handmade in America.

“In addition to a local contingency of artists, we’re looking forward to bringing a troupe of high-quality artists from around the country who have never exhibited in the Hilton Head area before,” says festival promoter Howard Alan.

“We’re delighted to host the Hilton Head Art Festival, an outstanding new festival that promises to delight area residents and visitors alike,” said Bret Martin, vice president of operations at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head Island, S.C. “With its casual waterfront setting, Shelter Cove Harbour will serve as an ideal location to showcase original work by talented artists and artisans from around the country.”

The artists will line Shelter Cove Harbour with their professional display booths, transforming the waterfront shopping and dining destination into a first-class outdoor art gallery. The public can meet and talk with the artists personally, asking questions about their art and inspiration. The artistic media represented include paintings, sculpture, photography, glass, wood, jewelry, collage and ceramics.

The Hilton Head Art Festival at Shelter Cove Harbour makes the arts accessible to a broad audience. Prices range from $25 hand-designed earrings to $20,000 metal sculptures. The event appeals to family and friends as a free and fun weekend activity, as well as serious art buyers interested in enhancing their collections.

Howard Alan comments, “In spite of today’s economy people are still investing in art because art heals, art soothes; this is art that is handmade in America.”

Classic Cocktail Inspires New Recipes for the Modern Connoisseur

May 13, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

As Americans become more cocktail savvy, bartenders are looking to classic cocktails for creative inspiration. “Sometimes the best way to move forward is to go back to the beginning,” says leading mixologist Andy Seymour. Mr. Seymour is one of four mixologists in CORZO’s Modern Margarita all-star lineup which includes Dale DeGroff, Junior Merino and Adam Seger. All four have lent their skills to create a modern interpretation of America’s most popular cocktail, the margarita. Made with CORZO Tequila, each Modern Margarita recipe has distinct character and flavor, each reflective of the current demand for innovation, taste and technique at the bar.

The Modern Margarita

Today, the margarita remains the number one bar call in the country. While many variations of the traditional recipe exist, CORZO’s Modern Margaritas are designed for more contemporary tastes. When creating a cocktail, “take a look at the drink’s origins,” says Andy Seymour, “and find a parallel to drink makers’ trends of today.” Modern Margarita variations transcend the traditional margarita glass with the use of stemless glassware. Recipes also incorporate alternative sources of sweeteners such as fresh agave syrup, an ingredient unique to Mexico. Unlike conventional brands, CORZO Tequila combines the age old secrets of Mexican tequila making along with an advanced production process that triple distills and twice mellows the tequila in American white oak barrels for perfect smoothness and flavor. As for the classic salted rim, modern versions call for the addition of pepper to the salt mix as seen in Adam Segar’s CORZO Modernita or the combination of chocolate and ancho chili powder in Dale DeGroff’s CORZO Mayan Margarita. Some even suggest salting half of the rim, as every sip need not be the same.

The Hard Shake

New mixology techniques include “the hard shake,” which makes the drink colder and better balanced. Large cubes made from purified water prevent flavors from diluting. And lastly, these cocktails use savory ingredients such as ginger, jalapeno and pepper – all trends that are popping up at hot bars across the nation. “We all have read about the culinary cocktails that are appearing around the country and, for that matter, all around the world. There has been a change in the DNA of the cocktail, an evolutionary jump,” says Dale DeGroff.

The Modern Margarita represents the evolution of the cocktail while preserving its deep rooted traditions. The CORZO Mayan Margarita features an unsweetened cacao and ancho chili powder rim. “The cocoa powder goes back 1000 years to the discovery of the sacred cacao by indigenous peoples in Mexico, Central, and South America and forward to the cutting edge culinary cocktail of the new millennium,” says Dale Degroff. Andy Seymour’s CORZO Postmodern puts an updated spin on The Daisy, a popular drink of the 19th century. As the story goes, this recipe took on a familiar look in Mexico when The Daisy was born from the combination of tequila and prominent citrus fruits (limes), later becoming the Margarita. Seymour says, “The original lemon based recipe is a perfect complement to CORZO tequila, as the bright citrus draws out the agave flavor of tequila. Sherry and bitters go back to mixology’s earliest days, but until recently had been forgotten items behind most bars.”

Creating a new, modernized drink isn’t just about mixing cocktails. “It’s about sharing experience, knowledge, passion, and creativity to make ingredients come together in a well balanced and harmonized cocktail,“ says Junior Merino. With this new, evolving cocktail culture, CORZO and the nation’s best mixologist present four original Modern Margarita recipes for the progressive cocktail connoisseur:

Spoleto Festival 2009 in Charleston, SC

May 11, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

Spoleto Festival USA has announced its complete 2009 program that will see 120 performing arts performances take place in
Charleston during the 17-day season, May 22 – June 7. Tickets for the 2009 Spoleto Festival USA are on sale now. (Click here to download the complete program guide for the Spoleto Festival 2009)

Highlights of the 33rd season include:
a new production of Gustave Charpentier’s opera Louise; a series of events honoring chamber music series artistic director Charles Wadsworth; and the return of two festival favorites – Britain’s Kneehigh Theatre with a new production, Don John, as well as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, now celebrating its 50th anniversary.

Notable festival debuts include Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, Spain’s Noche Flamenca and Japanese choreographer/performer Hiroaki Umeda. All three of these productions are courtesy of the Carolina First Dance series.
Noteworthy musical events include the Westminster Choir and the Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra in a performance of W. A. Mozart’s Requiem led by Festival Artistic Director for Choral Activities Joseph Flummerfelt; two concerts conducted by Music Director for Opera & Orchestra Emmanuel Villaume – Gustav Mahler’s masterpiece Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth) and Brahms’s Violin concerto in D Major with violinist Sarah Chang. The Westminster Choir will also perform Dietrich Buxtehude’s baroque sacred masterpiece Membra Jesu Nostri.

The Opera Louise
The streets of bohemian Paris, immortalized in Puccini’s La bohème, serve as both the setting and inspiration for a new production of Gustave Charpentier’s opera Louise. Rarely staged in the U.S. due to its large number of roles, Louise will be directed by Sam Helfrich with Ukranian-American soprano Stefania Dovhan in the title role. The set is designed by Andrew Holland with costumes by Kaye Voyce and lighting by Aaron Black. Emmanuel Villaume, Spoleto Festival USA Music Director for Opera & Orchestra, will conduct. Louise is sponsored by BMW Manufacturing Co.

The colorful and ultimately tragic life of actor and silver screen legend Peter Lorre serves as the springboard for the punk cabaret operetta Addicted to Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre’s 20th Century. A collaboration between director Jay Scheib and New York punk band World/Inferno Friendship Society, Bad Ideas features WIFS’s incomparable front man Jack Terricloth backed by a swinging nine-piece band and incorporates innovative video designed by Scheib and Keith Skretch.

Don John
Contemporary music also plays an important supporting role in Don John, the newest production from Britain’s Kneehigh Theatre. The Cornwall-based ensemble’s first American performances of Tristan & Yseult at the 2006 Spoleto Festival USA, proved the sleeper hit that year. The company returns to Charleston for the U.S. premiere of Don John, a highly original new production inspired by Mozart’s Don Giovanni. With a score of specially commissioned music by Stu Barker that adds a sense of playfulness to the story line, Don John embodies Kneehigh’s distinctive brand of physical and imaginative storytelling. Sponsored by First Citizens, Don John is produced in association with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Bristol Old Vic and will be performed 19 times over the course of the festival.

The award-winning American puppeteer Basil Twist garnered rave reviews in 2005 with a delightful Festival production of Respighi’s La bella dormente nel bosco. Twist returns to Spoleto Festival USA with the elegant and dreamlike Dogugaeshi, which both revives and pays homage to the rarefied Japanese stage technique of the same name. Shamisen virtuoso Yumiko Tanaka will accompany the hour-long production which will be presented in an intimate black-box theater built specially for the production in the Gaillard Exhibition Hall. Dogugaeshi is sponsored by Charleston Place.

Rounding out the theatrical selections of the 2009 festival is the adventurous Dutch theater ensemble Kassys with Good Cop Bad Cop and Welsh artist Hugh Hughes performing the winsome Story of a Rabbit, which won the Fringe First Award following a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe Festival season in 2007.

Dance, Dance, Dance…
The Carolina First Dance series features a Spoleto festival audience favorite – Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater – along with a number of festival debuts. Founded in 2003, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet is known for its adventurous repertoire by international choreographers rarely seen in this country. Described as “extraordinarily gifted” by The New York Post, the 16-member ensemble has been widely praised for its technical aptitude and fierce physicality, both of which will be displayed in a program featuring Norwegian choreographer Jø Stromgren’s whimsical Sunday, Again and Crystal Pite’s Ten Duets on the Theme of Rescue, along with an excerpt from Ohad Naharin’s Decadance. Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet is sponsored by Ginn Resorts.

Also making festival debuts are two international dance attractions: the experimental Japanese choreographer/performer Hiroaki Umeda, whose work employs digital technology and crackling soundscapes in surprising and sophisticated ways; and Spain’s Noche Flamenca with lead dancer Soledad Barrio. Repeatedly singled out by Alastair Macaulay, the chief dance critic of The New York Times, as one of the most important dancers working today, Barrio will lead an ensemble of musicians and dancers in the atmospheric outdoor setting of the Cistern at the College of Charleston. Noche Flamenca is sponsored by Ginn Resorts and Hiroaki Umeda is sponsored by Sherman Capital Markets.

In the midst of a nationwide 50th anniversary tour, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, returns to the Gaillard over opening weekend for their fifth Spoleto Festival USA appearance. The company will offer a celebratory program which closes with Alvin Ailey’s Revelations, set to African-American spirituals. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is sponsored by BlueCross and BlueShield of South Carolina.

The Jewel in the Festival’s Crown
Music plays an integral role at Spoleto Festival USA, and the Spoleto Festival USA Chamber Music series has long been considered one of the jewels in the festival’s crown. Directed and hosted by the inimitable Charles Wadsworth, this series of concerts performed twice each day over the course of the festival has garnered a fiercely loyal following. In 2009, Mr. Wadsworth takes his final bow as director of the series, and the Festival and audiences will pay tribute to this beloved artist with several celebratory events: Wadsworth will be the guest of honor at the annual Opening Weekend Gala held on Saturday, May 23 after the opening night performance by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater; on Sunday, May 31, artists from the chamber music series along with such special guests such as the pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet will present a concert in Wadsworth’s honor; and on Sunday, June 7, a traditional high tea will be held immediately following the 1pm chamber music concert. For complete details and ticket prices for all the above, visit www.spoletousa.org In addition to the above special events, the Spoleto Festival USA Chamber Music series will once again feature different groupings of musicians, many of whom have performed at the Spoleto Festival with Mr. Wadsworth in past years, including cellist Alisa Weilerstein, the St. Lawrence String Quartet; clarinetist Todd Palmer; flutist Tara O’Connor; violists Hsin-yun Huang and Daniel Philips; and pianist Stephen Prutsman, to name a few. In keeping with tradition, the concerts will be performed at 11am and 1pm every day over the course of the festival. Each program is repeated three times and will be announced from the stage.

In addition to the chamber music series, the 2009 music program encompasses a wide variety of musical traditions – from the sacred to the profane. A concert by 68-year-old guitar slinger Beverly “Guitar” Watkins involves possibly a bit of both. A legend in the blues world, Watkins has been described as a “pyrotechnic guitar maven” who has shared the stage with such blues greats as James Brown, B.B. King and Ray Charles. With her flamboyant style, haunting poeticism and sheer physical stamina, Watkins will perform her brand of “railroad-stompin’” blues in concert at the Cistern.

Embracing the traditions of bluegrass, folk and string band, the Punch Brothers were recently described as “totally mind-blowing” by the San Francisco Chronicle. Led by mandolin player and Nickel Creek co-founder Chris Thile, the ensemble is rapidly becoming an important force on the American music scene having been recently nominated as one of the Best Albums of 2008 in National Public Radio’s All Things Considered Listener Poll.
Composed of young musicians from the country’s leading music programs and conservatories, the Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra, led by Emmanuel Villaume, the Christel DeHaan Music Director for Opera & Orchestra, will take center stage in two concerts, the first to perform Gustav Mahler’s extraordinary “song symphony” Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth). This concert is sponsored by South Carolina Bank and Trust. On June 2 violinist Sarah Chang will join forces with the Festival’s orchestra for Brahms’s Violin Concerto in D major.

The Westminster Choir
Spoleto Festival USA’s longtime chorus-in-residence, the Westminster Choir can be heard numerous times during the festival: Joe Miller will conduct two a cappella concerts at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul; the choir will also perform Mozart’s Requiem under the direction of conductor Joseph Flummerfelt, Spoleto’s Artistic Director for Choral Activities. Also on the program to be performed at the Gaillard Auditorium is Poulenc’s Gloria.
Longtime chorus master of the Westminster Choir, Andrew Megill will lead the choir in a program of sacred work, including baroque composer Dietrich Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri along with his protégé J.S. Bach’s Easter cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden.
The 2009 Spoleto Festival USA Jazz Series crosses continents and traditions, from American jazz vocalists Tierney Sutton and René Marie to the solo piano improvisations of Italy’s Ramberto Ciammarughi.

And All That Jazz
The jazz series will also feature the Hawaiian-born Jake Shimabukuro, recently dubbed “the best ukulele player on the planet,” by The New York Times. With lightning-fast fingers and virtuosic technique, Shimabukuro is credited with expanding the possibilities of this often overlooked instrument.
Florin Niculescu is considered one of the finest violinists on the international jazz scene today whose enchanting gypsy sound is built upon on a classical jazz foundation. Niculescu’s quartet will make its U.S. debut at the 2009 festival.
Also performing at the Cistern is the Grammy Award Nominated Tierney Sutton Band. Comprised of vocalist Tierney Sutton and instrumentalists Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, Kevin Axt, and Ray Brinker, this stellar group of musicians has garnered critical praise worldwide for their fresh interpretations of familiar songs.
Italian jazz pianist and composer Ramberto Ciammarughi performed at last year’s festival as part of the Stefano Cantini Quartet. Ciammarughi now returns solo to perform six concerts of original compositions showcasing the clarity and vibrancy of his playing.
Jazz vocalist René Marie enjoyed an immensely successful festival debut in 2007. She returns to headline the Spoleto Festival USA Jazz series at the Gaillard Auditorium with selections from her new album, Voice of My Beautiful Country, which features Charleston’s own Quentin Baxter and showcases her unique take on traditional patriotic songs and other tunes relating to the American experience.
Two popular music series – Music in Time and Intermezzi – showcase both guest artists as well as members of the Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra and singers from the Festival’s opera productions.

Directed by John Kennedy, Music in Time has a reputation for unearthing groundbreaking composers and the 2009 series features numerous American premieres including Julia Wolfe’s Cruel Sister based on an ancient British folk tale, minimalist composer Michael Harrison’s Revelation and an eclectic evening of music from Philip Bimstein, whose work is often peppered with recordings of human and animal voices as well as everyday and environmental sounds. Shamisen virtuoso Yumiko Tanaka, the featured performer in Dogugaeshi, will offer a solo concert of work by Michiko Mamiya. All four concerts will be performed in the Simons Center Recital Hall at the College of Charleston.

The Intermezzi series, held in the graceful setting of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church includes a solo recital of works of Bach, Liszt and Stravinsky by American pianist Andrew von Oeyen; and a chamber symphony program of Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 (The Italian) and the overture to Rossini’s The Barber of Seville. The final program of the Intermezzi series will spotlight singers from the cast of Louise in a vocal recital of art song and arias.
The 2009 Spoleto Festival USA will conclude on Sunday, June 7, with the grand Festival Finale concert at Middleton Place. Conductor Marc Williams will lead the Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra in their final concert of the season.

Patrons are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy a picnic on the grounds before settling in for the concert at twilight followed by a spectacular fireworks display over the Ashley River.

Spoleto Festival USA 2009 “Conversations With” Series
Spoleto’s popular Conversations With series features a series of public conversations with festival artists moderated by the Emmy Award-winning CBS News correspondent Martha Teichner. Guests for the 2009 series include: Story of a Rabbit’s Hugh Hughes; guitarist Beverly Watkins; Jack Terricloth, front man for World/Inferno Friendship Society, and Jay Scheib, director of Addicted to Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre’s 20th Century; and festival icon Charles Wadsworth.
