5. About The Venue Over 8 million people live in New York City, another 50 million come to New York City each year to visit. With hundreds of places to hear live music on what could be called the world’s biggest stage, arguably the most prestigious venue is Carnegie Hall. Legend has it that the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein was once asked on the street how to get to Carnegie Hall. “Practice, practice, practice” was his reply. Carnegie Hall is well known as a venue for the world’s most talented musicians. It is also architecturally distinctive outside and breathtakingly beautiful inside. Its acoustics are impeccable and it is elegantly furnished. Arthur Zankel(a businessman who made his fortune on Wall Street) and his wife Judy made a $10 million dollar donation to Carnegie Hall which largely funded the construction of Zankel Hall. The space, which seats 599, was developed to be a more intimate setting for chamber music, recitals and popular music. We are pleased that it will be the venue for the Listen for Life Concert on January 8, 2012.

9. YairDalal, born in 1955; composer, violinist, oud player and singer; a prolific ethnic musician, plays an important role in shaping the global world music scene. Over the last decade he has released 12 albums, covering wide and varied cultural territory, and authentically representing Israeli, Jewish and Middle Eastern cultures while fusing them into a whole. Much of Dalal’s work reflects his extensive musical skills in both classical-European, Jazz and Arabic music and also reflects the strong affinity that he has for the desert and its inhabitants. Dalal’s family came to Israel from Baghdad and his Iraqi roots are embedded in his musical work. Whether working on his own, or with his Alol ensemble, Dalal creates new Middle Eastern music by interweaving the traditions of Iraqi and Jewish Arabic music with a range of influences originating from diverse cultures, from the Balkans to India. The result is a collection of evocative compositions with a unique and colorful sound. YairDalal participates and lectures in various music educational institutes and universities in Israel and worldwide. Besides his musical endeavors, Dalal is also a peace activist, devoting much of his time and energy to helping to remove ideological barriers between different cultures and, in particular between Jews and Arabs. Dalal performed at the Nobel Peace Prize gala concert in 1994 honoring the Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat. Dalal has won several Israeli awards acknowledging his music and his contribution to Israeli music and was also nominated in 2003 by the BBC World Music Awards for his musical achievements, as “best musician from the middle east”. He of course continues to tour, playing in concerts and festivals and collaborating with top musicians from all over the world, from different disciplines and musical heritages, while also commencing some new projects and compositions. Yair has been a treasured part of the Listen for Life family since 2004, and is a featured in several Listen for Life productions including the highly acclaimed series Travels with Music (www.travelswithmusic.org) that offers an interactive exploration of the world’s cultures with their master musicians as the tour guides. TWM is now licensed to the BBC and several other international networks. Yair has for quite awhile been wanting to perform with UK violist Erin Nolan so he is excited to be premiering a work being written for the two of them, (along with pianist Donna Stoering) by Israeli composer Avner Dorman, as part of the Listen for Life program for Carnegie Hall and beyond. ttp://www.yairdalal.com/ About The Musicians: YairDalal “The musical instrument oud is the most beautiful and important instrument in the middle east. It is the most beloved and shared instrument for Arabs and Jews. With the oud, as in the desert, time resonates in its own unique, boundless form, a type of Taqsim. Peace, too, takes its time”.

12. About The Musicians: Patrick Landeza An award winning musician, performer, recording artist, composer, and producer, Patrick KahakauwilaKamaholelaniLandeza is considered a leading young exponent of the Hawaiian slack key(Kiho’alu) style. Born and raised in Berkeley CA to native-Hawaiian parents, Patrick began learning guitar while in high school and soon became a protégé of the Hawaiian slack-key masters, who traveled through the Bay Area while on tour. That opportunity inspired him to dedicate his life to sharing this musical heritage and art form with the world. He was also encouraged by Hawaiian music master Cyril Pahinui, who wrote: “I’ve known Patrick since he was 17 years old... I’m very proud of him and of what he is doing to perpetuate slack key guitar ” and another positive comment from Dennis Kamakahi, Hawaii’s legendary composer and slack key master: “{Patrick is} a true innovator of Hawaiian Music and a vocalist of pure nahenahe (sweet sounding) quality” . A local Bay Area journalist, writing in the San Jose Mercury News, ultimately said “He's as good of a kiho'alu guitarist as any I've seen, right up there with the likes of Cyril Pahinui and Keola Beamer, and he possesses a tender, warm singing voice. He’s the real deal.” At 34, Patrick became the youngest recipient of the prestigious Kapalakiko Aloha Spirit award for his work with slack key. Patrick received the 2010 Hawaii Music Award for his latest release “Ku`uHonuaMele” (My Music World) in the slack key category. This past April, Patrick’s CD received the Na HokuHanohano nomination, Hawaii’s equivalent to the Grammys. He is the only mainland-born artist of Hawaiian descent to ever be nominated for this meaningful honor. Patrick is the founder of The Institute of Hawaiian Music and Culture and is responsible for planting the seeds for many Hawaiian musicians to perform concerts across the USA. Patrick also continues to tour, performing and teaching slack key guitar in workshops and festivals. He runs an Hawaiian Music venue in Concord, California called “The Cue” and together with his production company, LandezaPresents, he continues to bring Hawaiian music to as many locations as possible! Patrick’s positive energy, ideas, enthusiasm and warm spirit make him a treasured member of Listen for Life, and like Vanessa Vo, he first became involved with LfL as a performer in Listen for Life’s UN International Peace Day events of 2010. Offstage after performing at that event, he turned to LfL founder and artistic director Donna Stoering and shared his dream of bringing Hawaiian traditional music to Carnegie Hall. They discussed the idea of inviting major LfL artists from other representative cultures around the globe, and the plan was born. http://www.patricklandeza.com/j3/servlet/HomePage "I remember as a kid growing up in California, you couldn't find Hawaiian music anywhere...and now it's everywhere! It's thrilling to be a part of Hawaiian music's renaissance, and an honor to bring slack-key to Carnegie Hall" 11 To talk live about sponsoring this event please call (212) 450-1619 or (212) 710-4329.

Embracing a new direction that involves considerable improvisation, Heisinger's work "Ekta (“oneness”), commissioned by the San José Chamber Orchestra, was premiered in 2005. The unusual scoring (for solo piano, tabla, jazz bassist, drum kit, string orchestra and two percussionists) and its integration of an Indian raga and tals with American jazz in a “classical” orchestral setting, was very enthusiastically received. "Ekta" was recently heard again with jazz pianist Taylor Eigsti in the piano role, to ecstatic reviews, and two more successful commissions have recently been completed. Brent has been a tremendous supporter of Listen for Life since its inception, and served on the global team that worked together to create LfL's extremely successful series, Travels with Music. Avner Dorman (born 1975) has quickly risen to become one of Israel's most successful and renowned composers. At the age of 25, he became the youngest composer to win Israel's prestigious Prime Minister's Award for his Ellef Symphony, and that same year he was awarded the Golden Feather Award from ACUM (the Israeli Society of Composers and Publishers). Since coming to the United States, Dorman has received several international awards from ASCAP, ACUM, and the Asian Composers League.Dorman's unique approach to rhythm and timbre has attracted some of the world's leading conductors, including Zubin Mehta, Marin Alsop, Asher Fisch, and Simone Young, to bring his music to international audiences of the Israel Philharmonic, NY Philharmonic, orchestras of Munich, Hamburg, Vienna, Nashville and the famed Cabrillo Music Festival, among others. Dorman aims to combine rigorous compositional construction with the sense of spontaneity and excitement usually associated with jazz, rock or ethnic music. His two percussion concerti are quickly becoming staples of the repertoire and he has also written unique works for mandolin, piccolo, or saxophone as soloists with orchestra. A pianist and chamber music devotee, Avner has composed many successful works for those genres as well, and their subsequent recordings have received wide critical acclaim. Dorman's fresh, spontaneous style lends itself well to the screen and he has written the music for NitzanAviram’s award-winning film Son. Avner Dorman is exclusively published by G. Schirmer, Inc. and some of his works are available on NAXOS records. Violist Erin Nolan met Avner Dorman when both of them were participants in a project of YoYo Ma and the Silk Road project that culminated in 4 performances at Zankel Hall a few years ago. She learned that he had successfully arranged works for YairDalal to perform on his oudas well, so Listen for Life invited Avner to compose a new work for viola, oud and piano that will be premiered on the Carnegie Hall program.
