Maestro Francis mit Susanne Nielsen
Liebe Freunde des Kulturspiegels,
In Unserer heutige Sendung moechte ich Ihnen Michael Francis , den neuen Maestro "designate" des Florida Orchesters vorstellen, der ab naechster Saison, also 2016/17 offiziell die musikalische Leitung des Florida Orchesters in Tampa Bay, Florida uebernimmt. Unser Gespraech schloss sich an eine ganze Reihe von Interviews an, Zeichen der Berichterstattung der vielen Medien, die sich freuen, dass nach fast drei Jahren der Suche das Orchester-Suchkommitte sich fuer einen neuen Musikalischen Leiter entschieden hat. Michael Francis ist nicht nur fuer die klassische Masterworksserie zustaendig, sondern verspricht auch jeweils ein Konzert der anderen Serien , also Pops und Coffee concerts zu uebernehmen.
Francis bringt nicht nur eine tiefe Liebe zur Musik mit, sondern auch eine Ernsthaftigkeit und Achtung fuer die Komponisten Europas, besonders seinen Lieblingskomponisten Beethoven , aber auch Mozart, den er verehrt, mit. Grossen Respekt schenkt man ihm bereits aus den Reihen des Orchesters, dem Vorstand gefiel auch sein Wunsch Menschen aus allen Lebenlagen und -phasen mit Musik ansprechen zu wollen. Musik kann heilen, sagt er, und man glaubt ihm, dass er dies bereits selbst erfahren hat. Der 38-jaehrige Maestro ist jung verheiratet und erzaehlt dass er sich bei einem karitativen Ball in London unsterblich in die seine verliebt hatte und sie daraufhin im alten Stil mit Erfolg umworben hatte. Nun wird er im Dezember zum erstenmal Vater. Die Familie seiner Frau mit Spanischer Anbindung lebt in der Tampa Umgebung, wo auch das junge Paar hinziehen wird.
Ein neuer Start fuer das Orchester und ein neues Leben fuer den britischen Michael Francis, der nach Jahjah Ling aus Asien und Stefan Sanderling aus Deutschland als dritte Maestro, diesmal aus Gross Britanien, in der Geschichte des Florida Orchesters dessen Leitung uebernimmt und dieses grossartige orchester in neue richtungen fuehren wird.
Da er wenig Deutsch spricht ist das Interview im Audioteil unserer Sendung nach einigen einfuehrenden deutschen Worten in Englischer Sprache.

Interviews with Florida Orchestra's
Maestro designate Michael Francis
Interview in English (audio)
Nun ist er der Mann der Stunde, ganz Tampa Bay ist gespannt auf diesen sympatischen englishen Maestro.
Maestro designate Michael Francis
Interview in English (audio)
Nun ist er der Mann der Stunde, ganz Tampa Bay ist gespannt auf diesen sympatischen englishen Maestro.
Der
neue Maestro des Florida Orchesters, jung und voller liebe zur Musik, die ihm
in die Wiege gelegt worden ist. Kind eines Kontrabassisten, Britischer Vater
und irische Mutter. Michael Francis ist der elegante englische Gentleman und
scherzt, dass er durchaus in die Serie "Downton Abbey" passt, die uns
das viktorianische England in die amerikanischen Wohnzimmer zaubert. Und nicht
nur der Akzent, auch eine tiefe Ernsthaftigkeit bringt er mit ins sonnige
Florida. Seine Ueberzeugung dass wir Musik zum Leben brauchen wie die Luft,
dass es kein Zufall ist, dass alle grossen Metropolen der Welt ihre eigenen
Orchester haben und was fuer Europa besonders gilt, auch jede mittelgrosse
Stadt oder Region. Man ist stolz auf seine Musiker und verehrt sie wie Aerzte
und Professoren. In Schweden, wo er in den letzten Jahren taetig war, gibt es
diesen Umgang mit der Musik als festem Bestandteil des Lebens, bemerkt Francis.
Dass
Musik Heilkraft fuer den Menschen birgt weiss er und sieht seine Aufgabe dies
weithin mit dem Orchester zu beweisen.
Er
sei mit Musik grossgeworden, in London, was im musikalischen Haushalt ein
natuerlicher Weg zur Musik bedeutete , den Vater, auch ein Kontrabassist und
Lehrer spielen zu hoeren, frueheste Konzerte zu besuchen.
Aber
die heutige "Dot-Com" Gesellschaft mag nicht so aufgewachsen sein,
diesen neuen moeglichen Sponsoren ist es Zeit die Welt der Klassik, des
OrchesterPops und Jazz nahezubringen.
Was
zeichnet ihn ausserdem aus stand bereits in seiner Rolle als Gastmaestrorolle
als er uns Beethovens 5. Symphonie brachte, Purcells music fuer die Beerdigung
der Koenigin Mary und Andre Panufniks Sinfonia Sacra.
Seine
Erfahrungen mit deutschen Orchestern fuehrte ihn nach Stuttgart und Dresden ,
unlaengst sprach er von Maestro Sanderling, Leiter der Dresdner Symphoniker,
und Bruder seines Vorgaengers im Florida Orchesters .
Er
hat auch Musikaufnahmen mit dem New York Philharmonic Orchester und Anne-Sophie
Mutter fuer Deutsche Grammophon aufgezeichnet.
Zweimal
sprang er 2007 als Maestro ein, einmal 12 Stunden nach Benachrichtung fuer den
erkrankten Valery Gergiev mit der London Symphony und nur einen Monat spaeter
fuer den Komponisten und maestro John Williams fuer Auffuehrungen dessen
eigener Musik.
Maestro
Francis wird ueberzeugen, wird das Orchester dahin fuehren wo Menschen es sonst
vielleicht nicht hoeren koennen, spricht von Altersheimen und Krankenhaeusern.
Schulen sind schon lange selbstverstaendlich.
Er
will sich ganz einbringen, sicherlich mit seiner Bewunderung solcher
einzigartiger Komponisten wie Beethoven oder Mozart, aber auch mit dem
Dirigieren einiger Konzerte der Pops Serie und anderer Programme dieses
Orchesters. Von Konzertsaal bis Parkbuehne bis kleineren Foren (z. B. Im
krankenhaus) verspricht Maestro Francis praesent zu sein, wir freuen uns.
Musik kann heilen , nicht nur lebensnotwendig sondern sie kann heilen. Man spuert er hat dies selbst durchlebt. Und wie er dieses Gefuehl erlebt, so bringt er es auch seinem Publikum nahe. Diese Woche tritt er auf Tampa Bays Buehnen auf, Sie und wir lernen ihn gleich mit seinen ersten Vorgespraechen vor jedem der drei Konzerte kennen und seine Art Musik und deren Komponisten zu interpretieren.

KINOKINOKINO
In The Drop geht es darum, sich im Djungel der Grosstadt ueber Wasser zu halten. Und das muss der Protagonist von Tom Hardy gespielt bei seinem Cousin wie James Gandolfini ihn nach seiner Starrolle in The Sopranos , besonders ueberzeugend spielt, beweisen. Man sieht es nicht, lange nicht, was hier ueber und unter den diversen Tischen passiert, und die Spannung ist, es bleibt dabei, ein spannender Film, auch wenn es nicht so scheint, mit Aha Effekt am Schluss.
Dolphin Tale 2 kann nur allen in West Florida wo das Aquarium mit diesen beiden schlauen Delfinen steht, naemlich Clearwater Marine Aquarium, eine ganz ganz grosse Freude bedeuten. fruehe Stimmen sagen, noch besser als Teil Eins, na denn, bitte Kind und Kegel nehmen, erst ins Kino und dann so bald wie moeglich ins Aquarium zu den beiden grauen Freunden. Was kleine Fans sind, sind morgen die Spender einer noch tolleren Aquariumsanlage.
Deutschlands Beitrag zu den Oscars in diesem Jahr ist der Film Dominik Grafs "Die Geliebten Schwestern" zur Liebe zweier Schwestern mit dem Dichter Friedrich Schiller, ob er allerdings ins Ausland oder gar zu den 5 nominierten Filmen in dieser Kategorie kommt, ist fraglich. Ein huebscher Kostuemfilm ist er allemal.
Boyhood laeuft weiterhin in den Kinos und der Film Chef ist auch wieder da, einige neue solchen, naemlich foodtrucks, kommen in Florida bald zum Einsatz, darunter auch ein deutscher.
Vergessen Sie nicht sowohl Fuehrungen als auch Filme, jeweils einer pro Woche in manchen der Programmkinos zu besuchen. Tampa Theatre und Burns Court Society gehoeren dazu.
Fuer besonders Fernsehfans kam diese Woche die Nachricht, dass der immer charmante Schauspieler Joachim "Blacky" Fuchsberger mit 77 Jahren verstarb. Man wird ihn vermissen.
Wer noch nicht bei Madame Mallory war, der solle sich unbedingt den Film the "100 Foot Journey" ansehen. Indisches wuerzt die Franzoesische Kueche, aber auch die Maiden darin.
Denzel Washington mischt Gewalt mit seinem selbstsicheren Stil in dem Drama The Equalizer.
Gone Girl bringt einen neuen Dreh in die Kidnappiungstory, die man nicht so recht glaubt.
Skeleton Twins ist die Geschichte zweier trauriger Geschwister, die sich gegenseitig stuetzen ( muessten) und dies doch nicht hinbekommen.
Und jetzt kommen langsam die Horrorfilme wieder heraus, schliesslich ist hueben und drueben bald Halloween. Na dann , ein bisschen Oktoberfesten und danach ( oft im gleichen Kostuem ) zum Gruseln. Dazu kommt ein Film, der den Dia del Morte a la Mexico zelebriert, The Book of Life.
Viel Spass im Kino.

Keeanu Reeves als John Wick uebt Rache weit und breit, etwas fuer hargesottene Actionfans...
Vorschau:
The Imitation Game : hochinteressanter historischer Film zum Enigma "Puzzle", besonders fuer die Freunde der Mathematik/Informatik) und der Weltkriegsgeschichte, blieb 50 Jahre ein Geheimnis, nun Deutsch-Englische Wiederaufbereitung.
The Fall season opens on October 31, 2014 with a revival of Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo. In true theatrical tradition, a clown must go on with the comedy despite his real life humiliation at his wife's infidelity. In partnership with the Sarasota Orchestra, this opera features the iconic tenor aria "Vesti la giubba." Pagliacci will run for 6 performances through November 15th.
Saturday, February 21st, will be the Sarasota premiere of The Golden Cockerel by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Based on a story by Pushkin, The Golden Cockerel is the tale of the bumbling King Dodon who enlists the help of a magical Golden Cockerel to protect his country from attack. However, when the King is seduced by the alluring Queen Shemakha, both he and his country meet an unhappy end. Once a favorite show piece for coloratura sopranos like Lily Pons and Beverly Sills, this rarely heard masterpiece by the composer of Scheherazade is a fairy tale filled with exotic and beautiful music such as the famous aria "Hymn to the Sun."

ABOUT SARASOTA OPERA
Based in Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast, Sarasota Opera is approaching its 55th consecutive season. In 1960, the company began presenting chamber-sized repertoire in the historic 320-seat Asolo Theater on the grounds of Sarasota’s Ringling Museum of Art. Recognizing the need for a theater more conducive to opera, the company purchased the former A.B. Edwards Theater in downtown Sarasota in 1979 and first performing in it in 1984 as the Sarasota Opera House. The theater has just undergone a $20-million renovation and rehabilitation enhancing audience amenities, while updating the technical facilities including increasing the size of the orchestra pit. The theater, which reopened in March 2008, has been called “one of America’s finest venues for opera” by Musical America.
Since 1983 the company has been under the artistic leadership of Victor DeRenzi. Since then the company has garnered international attention with its Masterwork Revivals Series, which presents neglected works of artistic merit, as well as the Verdi Cycle producing the complete works of Giuseppe Verdi. Recognizing the importance of training, Maestro DeRenzi founded the Apprentice Artist and Studio Artist programs. Sarasota Opera also maintains a commitment to education through its Invitation to Opera performances for local schools and the unique Sarasota Youth Opera program.
Sarasota Opera is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Programs are supported in part by an award the Tourist Development Tax through the Board of County Commissioners, the Tourist Development Council and the Sarasota County Arts Council. Additional funding is provided by the City of Sarasota and the County of Sarasota.
