카네기 홀에서의 음악적 탁월함의 밤
뉴욕, 뉴욕주 – 11월 25일 – 국제 전문 음악 교사 협회(IAPMT)는 11월 25일 월요일, 카네기 홀의 유서 깊은 와일 리사이틀 홀에서 매혹적인 콘서트를 개최했습니다. 오후 7시 30분에 정각에 시작된 이 행사는 음악적 우수성에 대한 헌신으로 공연 예술을 지속적으로 풍요롭게 하는 가와이 아메리카 코퍼레이션의 아낌없는 후원으로 가능했습니다.
흐린 하늘, 섭씨 9도(48°F)의 기온, 그리고 시속 8km(5mph)의 부드러운 바람에도 불구하고, 유서 깊은 공연장 내부는 따뜻함과 기대감으로 가득했습니다. 다양한 음악적 재능을 선보이는 프로그램을 위해 참석자들이 모여들면서 홀은 흥분으로 들썩였습니다.
이 콘서트에는 총 30명의 뛰어난 참가자들이 출연하여 풍성한 공연의 태피스트리를 만들었습니다. 특히 이날 저녁의 하이라이트는 희망&꿈 챔버 합창단의 특별 단체 공연이었습니다. 그들의 한국 전통 민요 “아리랑” 연주는 많은 이들에게 천상의 소리로 묘사되었으며, 청중에게 깊은 울림을 선사하고 프로그램에 심오한 문화적 차원을 더했습니다.
밤새도록 선보인 음악 작품들은 광범위한 작곡가들을 아우르며 참가자들의 폭넓고 깊이 있는 레퍼토리를 보여주었습니다. 프로그램에는 루트비히 판 베토벤, 요하네스 브람스, 프레데리크 쇼팽, 클로드 드뷔시, 조지 거슈윈, 프란츠 리스트, 모리스 라벨, 세르게이 라흐마니노프와 같은 존경받는 거장들의 작품이 포함되었습니다. 베르나르 크롤, 프랑수아 드비엔, 프리츠 크라이슬러, 장-밥티스트 아르방, 김규환, 롤프 러블랜드, 탄둔, 비테슬라프 노바크의 현대 및 고전 작품들은 이날 저녁을 더욱 풍성하게 하여 모든 참석자에게 기억에 남는 경험을 선사했습니다.
국제 전문 음악 교사 협회는 이 성공적이고 영감을 주는 음악 행사에 귀중한 공헌을 해주신 모든 참가자, 희망&꿈 챔버 합창단, 그리고 가와이 아메리카 코퍼레이션에 깊은 감사를 표합니다.
카네기 홀 사실: 앤드루 카네기
카네기 홀의 창조는 앤드루 카네기의 심오한 자선적 비전의 구현이었습니다. 막대한 부를 축적한 이 철강왕은 “부의 복음”이라는 자신의 철학, 즉 부자들이 사회 개선을 위해 자신의 부를 사용할 도덕적 의무가 있다는 신념을 깊이 믿었습니다. 음악 애호가였던 카네기는 단순히 콘서트 홀 이상의 것을 구상했습니다. 그는 고전 음악뿐만 아니라 모든 좋은 목적을 위한 민주적인 예술 공간, 즉 웅장한 “음악 홀”을 설립하고자 했습니다. “오랜 세월 동안” 지속될 수 있도록 설계된 비할 데 없는 음향적 우수성을 갖춘 공연장을 만들겠다는 그의 결심은 뉴욕시와 나아가 국가의 문화 생활을 풍요롭게 할 지속적인 유산을 남기려는 그의 헌신을 강조했습니다. 그것은 고양시키고 교육하려는 열망에서 비롯된 선물이었으며, 예술과 지식의 변혁적인 힘에 대한 그의 믿음을 증명하는 것이었습니다.
