Artist Series to sponsor 'Gershwin Party' tonight KYLE MARSHALL DM Senior Staff Writer In the beginning of his biography of George Gershwin, Rodney Greenburg writes that Gershwin was the "most charismatic of a handful of 20th century composers who liberated American music." And if you want to hear some Gershwin, you've got an opportunity tonight. As part of the Artist Series, "A Gershwin Party," featuring pianist Leon Bates, soprano Louise Toppin and tenor William Brown, will perform in Fulton Chapel at 8 p.m. Tickets can be obtained at the Central Ticket Office and cost $8 for adults, $5 for children and $3 for students. Dr. Robert Riggs, chair of the music department and the Artist Series, said that "A Gershwin Party" was chosen for several reasons to be a part of this year's Artist Series. First of all, he has seen Leon Bates perform. "I was very impressed with the way he established a rapport with the audience" Riggs said. "Moreover, they were touring in February, which is Black History Month." According to the biographies released by the management company of Bates, Toppin and Brown, all have performed in many places. Bates is described as "a familiar figure on the international concert scene" who has played with the New York Philharmonic, in Switzerland and in Rome, to choose just a few. Toppin has performed as a solo recitalist, orchestra soloist and has had leading roles in operas "throughout the United States" and in Spain, said her biography. Brown has been in performances "spanning the globe" a soloist for the New York Philharmonic and the Helsinki Orchestra as well as performing with the Florintine Opera Company.

60. DPA Microphones On May 18, 28 and 29, NPR broadcast two pieces with pianist leon bates that Morganrecorded in early March at The Bach Festival held in the 10,000 square foot http://www.dpamicrophones.com/eng_pub/Users/195.html

Live PA You are here: Users Live PA Michael Morgan (Recording piano) Michael Morgan (Recording piano) DPA Mics Help Provide Entrée to NPR Performance Today Though he's had numerous live concert recordings broadcast on 90.7 WMFE-FM's weekly Central Florida in Concert series, only recently was the program's audio producer, Michael Morgan, able to capture the ears of National Public Radio's "Performance Today" engineers. On May 18, 28 and 29, NPR broadcast two pieces with pianist Leon Bates that Morgan recorded in early March at The Bach Festival held in the 10,000 square foot great nave of Knowles Memorial Chapel on the campus of Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida. Morgan, who is also a freelance audio engineer and opera and recital vocalist, attributes at least part of the "break-through" success of his submission to Performance Today to his recent acquisition of a pair of DPA microphones: the DPA 3532-S stereo kit, consisting of two 4041-S solid-state large diaphragm mics. "I had the opportunity to record Mendelssohn's Elijah, with full orchestra, chorus, and soloists," says Morgan, "a solo piano recital [Leon Bates], the Bach Double Piano Concerto, and one of the Bach Brandenburg Concertos. For all these recordings, I used the same pair of microphones - the DPA 3532-S. Try doing that with your favorite mic!" Miking the Steinway For the Bates' piano recital, Morgan found his challenge in miking the nine-foot Steinway concert grand. "Capturing a coherent piano sound along with the instrument's room decay required some experimentation," he says. He mounted the mics on the stereo bar, six feet from the piano into the hall, and twelve feet above the stage. "The microphone heads were located on the same plane as the fully opened piano lid, resulting in the lid being removed from the sonic equation, and a perfect balance between the piano and the room."
