PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, a founding resident company of The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, announces the second concert program of its 2012-2013 season. The orchestra will perform All Bach on November 4, 5 and 6. The program features winner of Denmark's Carl Nielsen International Violin Competition, conductor and violinist Adele Anthony.
The November 4 2:30 p.m. and November 5 7:30 p.m. concerts will be performed in the Kimmel Center's intimate Perelman Theater as part of the 2012-2013 subscription series. The November 6 7:30 p.m. concert will be performed at the Temple University Performing Arts Center's Lew Klein Hall on North Broad Street.
Tickets for Chamber Orchestra performances are $24 to $81. The Sunday matinee performance will be followed by "Classical Conversations," a brief question-and-answer session with Ms. Anthony.
On the program are Johann Sebastian Bach's Suite No. 1 in C major, BWV 1066, Violin Concerto No. 2 in E major, BWV 1042, Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048, and Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068.
It is uncertain when Bach wrote his Suite No. 1 in C major, as with the rest of his orchestral suites. They are among the most famous orchestral works dating from before 1750, and what we know about their origins suggests they were more likely intended for a fairly small chamber ensemble. The suites' distant antecedents can be traced to the short, sharply accented dances of renaissance, and even medieval times. Like most Baroque music, Bach's suites do not depend of the long-range building and release of dramatic tension for their effect.
Because the various genres in Bach's catalogue divide sharply into periods that correspond with the progress of his career, it is no surprise that his violin concertos date from 1717 to 1723, when he was conductor and Director of Chamber Music to Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cothen. His Violin Concerto No. 2 in E major showcases the violinist's technical command of the violin, in addition to their senses of emotion, poetry, fantasy and wit.
Composers in the 18th century were mostly treated as servants, including Bach. This is evident in the dedication letter of his six Brandenburg Concertos, in which Bach signs as "Your Royal Highness' most humble and most obedient servant" in writing to Prince of Prussia, Markgraf Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg. Like No. 6, Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major is written for string instruments only.
Bach's Suite No. 3 in D major is probably the most popular of his four orchestral suites - the Air movement being most familiar because of an arrangement by August Wilhelmj, entitled Air on the G string, that followed in the late nineteenth century. There are two schools of thought for when this piece, in addition to his other suites, was composed. The Leipzig party believes Bach wrote the Third Suite from 1729 to 1731 while he was an active member of the Collegium Musicum - a group of musicians that met in the city to play music on an intimate scale. The other school of thought believes Bach wrote the suite around 1722 when he had tenure as music director of the Cothen court.
Conductor and violinist Adele Anthony has been enjoying an acclaimed and expanding international career since her triumph at Denmark's 1996 Carl Nielsen International Violin Competition. She soloed with prestigious orchestras in the United States, across the globe, and is also an active chamber musician. She has collaborated with her husband Gil Shaham on a number of recordings, and holds many awards and prizes from the Australia Council, the South Australian Government, and The Queen's Trust. Ms. Anthony studied at the Conservatory of the University of Adelaide with Beryl Kimber until 1987, and continued her studies at New York's Juilliard School with Dorothy Delay among others.
Friday Conversations at the Philadelphia Art Alliance will take place on November 2, 2012 at 6:30 PM where guests can engage in open conversation with Adele Anthony about the 'All Bach' program, her musical career and more. Following, guests will have the opportunity to chat and mingle over complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres. General Admission is $5. Free entry is offered to Chamber Orchestra subscribers and Philadelphia Art Alliance members. Friday Conversations is broadcast live on www.brandywineradio.com. The Philadelphia Art Alliance is located at 251 South 18th Street in Philadelphia. For information about Friday Conversations, call 215.545.4302 or visit www.philartalliance.org.

The number of towns recording a rise in home sales has more than doubled over the past year, according to research by Lloyds TSB. Almost two-thirds - 324 out of 500 (or 65%) - of the towns tracked in England and Wales were property sales 'hotspots' (i.e. towns that recorded a rise in home sales in the past year) in the first half of 2012. This was 115% higher than the 151 (or 30%) towns that recorded a rise in the first half of 2011.

Study suggests caution and further studies on drugs used to treat macular degeneration
2012-10-25
LA JOLLA, CA – October 24, 2012 – Millions of people with "wet" macular degeneration are prescribed a class of medication known as anti-VEGF drugs. But now scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found that a drastic reduction of VEGF activity may do more harm than good.
In the new study, the researchers deleted the gene for the blood-vessel growth factor VEGF, which has been implicated in stimulating abnormal blood vessel growth in a range of cancers and eye diseases, from cells in the retinas of adult mice. The results showed that without VEGF a large ...
Climate change may alter amphibian evolution
2012-10-25
Most of the more than 6,000 species of frogs in the world lay their eggs in water. But many tropical frogs lay their eggs out of water. This behavior protects the eggs from aquatic predators, such as fish and tadpoles, but also increases their risk of drying out. Justin Touchon, post-doctoral fellow at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, discovered that climate change in Panama may be altering frogs' course of evolution.
By analyzing long-term rainfall data collected by the Panama Canal Authority, Touchon discovered that rainfall patterns are changing just as ...

National Heart Centre Singapore develops world's first human heart cell model
2012-10-25
Researchers at the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) have successfully created a human heart cell model of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), an inherited heart muscle disorder which puts one at high risk of developing life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The NHCS research team discovered that key characteristics of the disease, such as abnormal "fatty changes" and altered distribution of proteins involved in cell-cell connections (called desmosomal proteins) are reproduced in the heart cells. This novel cellular model for studying ...
Restricting high-risk individuals from owning guns saves lives
2012-10-25
On July 20, a gunman in Aurora, Colorado, used an assault rifle to murder 12 people and wound 58 others. Although this was one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history, all mass shootings account for a small percentage of gun violence that occurs in the U.S. every day. In the past 100 days since the Aurora shooting, an estimated 3,035 Americans have died as a result of gun violence.
A new report by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health examines policies and initiatives for reducing gun violence in the U.S. by reforming current gun policies. ...
